    Peking duck
    Eric W.

    We took advantage of their $19 lobster special and also ordered the Peking duck as well. The live lobster was fresh, sweet, and perfectly cooked. It was a great deal for the price. The Peking duck was decent, with crispy skin and good flavor, though it didn't stand out as much as the lobster. Service was good.

    Dim Sum Time! (December, 2025)
    Jennifer Y.

    On top of liking Asian Jewels' daytime Dim Sum, my family also enjoys coming here for their seafood dishes at night. Wonderful service we've received on all visits. Bustling huge dining rooms from morning till night. On this Father's Day visit, we loved their fresh seafood straight from their live tanks specials, including AJS's Lobster Sticky Rice, Freshwater Shrimp, and, Ginger Scallion Dungeness Crab - mmm, mmm, deliciousness! CHEERS!

    Really recommend their beef ribs dish. I didn't like the eggplant filled with shrimp. It was too oily. Everything else was amazing.

    Not a bad place, just limited options. Food came out warm, but not that hot. The rice rolled shrimp and beef was the best. Shrimp Shumai wasn't too bad either. The service was quick since they had people walking around with carts of options for food. We did had to wait for a table for about 20 minutes. The ambiance of the place is massive and very spacious. This place is great for big parties in my opinion.

    Went this restaurant for a wedding. Didn't know it is a michelin guide restaurant. This one is great space for wedding. This area that they reserve for the wedding can hold 170ppl. Food comes out very quick. I like how they serve us every dish in a small plate, and keep changing the small plate as new dish is serve. That's perfect especially when you have a small space on your table already, and you don't have to worry about share or hygiene issue since the server automatically split it as dish arrive. Restrooms: male and female restrooms. This restaurant located next door to Hyatt Park LaGuardia Flushing.

    Custard buns

    This is one of the best Chinese restaurants I've been to in the city. Thankfully, I came with a large group, so we were able to try many different things. My favorites were the custard buns and the fried tofu with veggies. Those were both executed perfectly and packed with flavor and had great texture. Everything was great, though. You really can't go wrong ordering anything! The servers were also very friendly, and the service overall was fast and efficient. The atmosphere inside is very comfortable, and this is a great place for large groups. I highly recommend!

    BLUF: Usually above average, but can be below. Asian Jewels Seafood Restaurant 敦城海鮮酒家 is probably the best known Cantonese restaurant in Downtown Flushing, judging from the restaurant's prior recognition in the Michelin Guide, recent recognition in New York Magazine's Grub Street blog, and volume of Yelp reviews compared with nearby competitors. The dim-sum and dinner services here generally rank among the better of the Cantonese restaurants in Downtown Flushing. I can generally recommend Asian Jewels or Emperor Seafood for dim-sum or dinner. However, there have been times when we've been disappointed by the food at Asian Jewels. We stopped visiting Asian Jewels for several years when the dim-sum unexpectedly gave us a food coma once; something we haven't experienced since at Asian Jewels, and never at other dim-sum restaurants. Asian Jewels offers king crab for $45 per pound, but we were sorely disappointed by this offering at a recent dinner. It felt like the restaurant didn't take the time to properly prepare dishes from a 10 lbs+ crab that cost $492. The main dish, King Crab with Garlic, Scallion, and Vermicelli, was poorly executed. There was excessive moisture released by the huge crab, such that the accompanying vermicelli seemed to be drowned in soup. The restaurant could have reduced the liquid to create a tasty sauce for the noodles and crabmeat. Some at our table thought the crab was stringy and rubbery. The King Crab Glutinous Fried Rice was also unremarkable; the rice was harder than expected. That said, the other dishes of the evening were generally on point. Other: It's generally best to visit Chinese restaurants for dim-sum on the weekend, as weekends usually generate enough volume for restaurants to justify offering their widest selections of dim-sum. There is free, VPN-friendly Wi-Fi. The restrooms are generally adequately maintained. Asian Jewels also has a parking lot, but we haven't used it in years since parking fills up fast.

    This place has been around for a long time. If you need a place with a parking lot (remember to validate your ticket at the restaurant and money to tip the parking attendant), there are a few folks show up ĺate though most will show up before 11AM, and don't mind that this place charge more per dish, then this might be a good place to meetup. There is the usual dim sum dishes: siu mai (pork dumplings), cherng fun (rice noodles with beef, shrimp, or fried dough), sticky rice with and without lotus leaves, shrimp Dumplings (except we didn't order it this time). If you want dim sum, this is a solid place to go.

    Classic dim sum spot in Flushing. Great selection of dishes to choose from. The dishes are carted around, each cart carrying a few dishes each. It can feel a bit tight in here with the carts moving around between all the tables Staff are super professional It can be quite a wait especially on weekends, so expect some line if you're going in the afternoon for brunch hours Overall, great spot to get dim sum cravings

    Jessica M.

    Amazing dim sum. It's been awhile since I've had dim sum at a restaurant that still uses the carts! Love it. All of the dim sum comes on carts. Only the noodle and rice dishes you order through the menu. The dim sum here is excellent! Har gow is usually a good baseline dish to judge dim sum by and I can tell you the har gow was immaculate. I wish I had the stomach space to eat more of them. All of the shrimp and vegetable dim sum dishes were amazing. They were packed with flavor so you can take some of your vegetarian friends here. Me and my party of 2 arrived here right at opening at 9 AM on Saturday morning. We were one of 2 other parties in the restaurant but as time got closer to 10 AM the restaurant started to get packed. If you want to avoid any crowds I'd suggest coming right at opening for no wait. All in all, this dim sum restaurant has amazing dishes and room to accommodate large parties. I can't wait to come back.

    Elena Y.

    Good food and service as usual. We were here for another private party. My favorite was the lotus chicken soup (specialty) and the sautéed mustard greens with a bit of pork fat and the steamed fish. The lobster fried rice was nicer too. The roasted duck was also nice.

    A trip to Flushing or Chinatown in the 90s and early 2000s used to entail a mandatory visit to one of the many dim sum palaces. In Flushing the best option used to be Jade Asian or Sweet-n-tart; in Chinatown, I always liked Grand Harmony and never understood the hype around Jing Fong. The general consensus now seems to be that Asian Jewels is the favorite of the few remaining large dim sum establishments. While the cart format is always stressful for a vegetarian, I enjoyed everything I tried here. The tza liang was super crispy, and the ha-cheong (I went pescatarian out of necessity) was perfectly done. The jiu-tsai jiao were also delicious. For sweets, we were too full for masaiga-bau by the time they came around, but the egg custard buns were not too sweet, and retained a nice savory yolk flavor. I was disappointed that almond tofu didn't make an appearance on any of the carts.

    Shumai - so good! Real roe on top
    Nikki T.

    Amazingly fast service. This place is PACKED but they've got it down to a science so everything moves quick and smooth. I love the huge variety of food they have - got to try some dim sum dishes I've never seen anywhere else! If I had anything to mention- It's kind of weird they don't have any sauces on the table and it's kind of hard to flag someone down for them (soy sauce, vinegar, chili oil, etc) Included some photos of my favs

    It was Mother's Day at Emperor Seafood restaurant. An absolute frenzy from the moment we walked in…read more-- packed dining rooms, large Chinese families everywhere, noise levels through the roof, and servers running at full speed trying to keep up with the chaos. The staff wanted my wife to sit at an angle to the table; so that they could pass through. The seafood itself was solid traditional Cantonese fare with fresh lobster tanks, steamed fish, and classic banquet-style dishes. The atmosphere felt colorful authentic Hong Kong banquet hall energy. However, some of their pricing was completely out of whack. Mother's Day premium for sure which is understandable, but some dishes were simply excessively expensive for what was delivered. For example, our two lobsters, while fresh, were missing that smoky "wok hei" flavor that great Cantonese kitchens are known for. It lacked the depth, aroma, and richness one expects from a proper high-heat wok preparation. A few items felt priced more for Guide Michelin luxury dining than a Flushing seafood hall. This said, the service was efficient and professional; changing plates all the time. So a high level of attention above the usual Cantonese restaurant. Overall, decent food in and an authentic Hong Kong style restaurant that targets special family gatherings, but be prepared, both the crowds and the bill can become overwhelming very quickly. I paid more than $400 for three people. But we had a Tiger Fish which is $50 per pound.

    This was the former location of the beloved Guangzhou Restaurant that sadly shuttered in the early…read more2010s, which then went on to be a series of random businesses over the years, only to be a Cantonese restaurant again. I have so many reasons to believe that Emperor is truly the reincarnation of the restaurant...just a little rusty. I've only come here for dim sum and I'm still surprised it doesn't get even half of the insane volume that nearby dim sum restaurants get, especially with how much closer they are to Roosevelt Ave. I have to say that the dim sum here is slightly better than most locations in the core downtown area, both in presentation and taste. No cart ladies, just a paper and pencil ordering system. The other diners that I usually encounter seem to strike me as locals, which is becoming harder to find these days. Prices are slightly more expensive than the other places, which is probably a factor as to why there aren't as many customers. The other reason is probably the subpar customer service here, which I've encountered on a number of recent visits. There are so many workers here, but none of them seem to have any good grasp of what customer service is. For example, I've had the waiter hover over me as I was gathering cash for my bill and snatched it the moment I placed the money down, also demanding at least 18% (again, for subpar service). Also, if you complain to them about your food, even if you find a hair, they will not do anything about it. The food quality is slightly above most of the dim sum places, but also bear in mind the hit-or-miss service you'll get, which the latter can be super frustrating.

I am harsh on Shanghainese restaurants because I grew up eating the real thing and just visited Shanghai last year. However, this restaurant has become the standard by which I judge Shanghainese cuisine in NYC nowadays. Let's start with the Shanghainese style dim sum that I love. As consistent as anywhere, I believe they have my personal favorite Steamed Soup Dumplings. I'm even a fan of their large gimmicky ones (though a real thing from Yangzhou, China) with the straw, especially the crab and abalone version. Another top notch item is the Turnip Puffs, which has a fantastic filling and amazingly crispy and airy crust. Most of the other dim sum items are decent. When it comes to the cold and hot dishes, they do most of the traditional stuff well enough. Not always up to my standards, but most people I have taken there enjoy it enough. I do like their Stir Fried Rice Cake w/ Sheperd's Purse & Shredded Pork, ad well as their Duck Vermicelli Soup. Also, since they started working with Corner 28, their Cantonese food game stepped up quite a bit. Roast pork and Roast Crispy Pig are both really solid. Pan Fried Shrimp & Chive Dumplings are good too. There are a few other Shanghainese restaurants that do certain dim sum or dishes better, but I do believe Shanghai You Garden is currently the best overall Shanghainese restaurant in NYC.

We walked into a grand interior with chandeliers, spacious seating, and a more formal atmosphere compared to smaller dim sum spots. The setup feels designed for larger gatherings, family meals, and celebrations rather than a quick casual stop, and the room has a polished, traditional energy that fits the style of the food being served. The dim sum experience is the main highlight. The carts moving through the dining room make it easy to see the dishes before choosing, and there is a wide variety of options ranging from classics like siu mai, har gow, and rice rolls to more unique dishes. The siu mai stood out because of the larger size and generous filling, while the egg tarts had a flaky crust and smooth custard center that made them a solid choice for finishing the meal. The mango sago offered a lighter, refreshing contrast to the richer dim sum items. The food comes out hot, and the cart service adds to the traditional dim sum atmosphere, keeping the meal interactive and engaging as dishes pass by. One thing we appreciated about Royal Queen is the overall variety. It is the type of place where everyone can find something they enjoy because the menu covers steamed items, fried dishes, noodles, meats, and desserts. The portions are also better suited for sharing, so it works well when coming with a group and ordering multiple dishes for the table. The service style is fast-paced and typical of a busy dim sum restaurant. The carts come around frequently, so dishes can arrive quickly once you are seated. Since the restaurant is large and often used for events, the dining room can feel busy and crowded during peak hours. Finding the entrance can also be a little confusing since it is located inside the mall rather than directly from the street. Royal Queen is a solid option for traditional dim sum in Flushing. The combination of the large selection, cart service, and spacious banquet-style setting makes it a good choice for group meals or anyone looking for a classic dim sum experience. It may not be the most intimate restaurant, but it delivers the full dim sum atmosphere with plenty of choices.
