It was Mother's Day at Emperor Seafood restaurant. An absolute frenzy from the moment we walked in -- 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. read more

This was the former location of the beloved Guangzhou Restaurant that sadly shuttered in the early 2010s, 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. read more

The décor is really beautiful, the service is very good and fast, and the food is authentic, vibrant, and delicious. We started with an appetizer of spare ribs--very tasty--and ended with a feast of stir-fried lobster, Peking duck, filet mignon, and fried rice. This is our second time, and we drove from Connecticut to eat here. The lunch service is even better because they have dim sum. read more

I came for Mothers day and only waited 15 minutes for a table.for 2 The food carts do come out fast but the variety is limited. If you want seafood you can oder it by the pound, which it seemed what the larger family tables were doing. Service for water or tea is hard to get as the place is large with crowded tables. All in all it was a unique experience. I am not sure I would come back as the waiters do not speak English and I did not know what I was eating. read more

I previously complained about the food going downhill (since they opened), and I still stand by that comment, but to be honest it's not a bad choice in Downtown Flushing for dim sum, as they also serve rice dishes and noodles during lunchtime, so there are more options. Their prices are also very good for the quality and quantity of the food - perhaps because I'm comparing it with Manhattan. With costs of everything going up, this provides value for money. Parking cannot be easier, with the large parking lot right across the street. read more

What a lovely place to have dim sum. We were seated on the raised dais so it felt really special. The dishes were selected off a menu you mark with a pencil. The food was presented in very nice dishes. My favorite was the rice in bamboo. The fried noodles were really good as well. read more

Score 4 stars This restaurant was so easy to get to. It's literally right across from the parking lot at the last subway stop to Flushing. So, we came here twice for lunch special. Our favorite items were their complimentary soup (not pictured, but it was such a flavorful clean broth - very umami), stir fried clams, steamed fish meatballs, and their salted egg yolk custard buns. Yum! Overall, we will definitely return when we make a stop at Flushing station. read more

Very grand restaurant from decor to the table settings. Food was fine for most part but there's definitely needs better food prep guidelines. Everything was plated luxuriously and over the top. My favorites that night were the sashimi platter with fresh cuts of geoduck, salmon and lobster. Since it was a seafood restaurant, they definitely hit the mark with fresh seafood. The staff was great, and was very helpful. read more

Emperor Seafood serves up a Cantonese-style banquet menu and classic dimsum. Their dimsum dishes are pretty solid, and I plan to check them out again next time to try some other items! Located adjacent to the main municipal parking lot in downtown Flushing, the restaurant is conveniently only a few blocks from the 7 train. The entrance is on the first floor, with stairs leading up a stairwell decorated with an ornate dragon motif screen placed on the wall, halfway up. Walking into the main dining area, you pass a wall of seafood tanks to your left and a compact register area to the left. As one of the newer banquet restaurants in the area, the interior features more traditional Chinese decorative elements than older restaurants, with current trends leaning towards intricate traditional design details. The interior combines exposed brick walls with modern, recessed ceiling lighting, juxtaposed with traditional Chinese wooden trims, lattice windows and screens, curio cabinets inset into some of the walls, and red lanterns hanging from the ceiling. The decor simulated an ambiance slightly more upscale and tasteful than I've seen at some other banquet places, table settings included. That being said after a few years of use, a couple cups and dishes at our table showed visible wear and tear, and I see how a couple other reviews mention replacements are warranted. Food-- - 千層叉烧酥 Crispy roast pork puff pastries $4.95: just as described, a savory pastry with a filling of minced marinated meat. Pretty tasty and not as commonly found at other dimsum spots. Recommend! - 黑椒牛子骨 Black pepper beef spareribs $5.50 their version is on the sweeter side, had good flavor and meat was tender though I prefer New Mulan's iteration better. - 鲜嫩牛肉肠 Steamed beef and 软滑鲜虾肠shrimp rice rolls $5.50 each: fairly standard renditions of these dimsum staples, shrimp were decently sized. - 软绵鲜鱼求 Steamed fish balls $4.75 plump and bouncy, a little white peppery since they sprinkle some on top. - 蘿蔔糕 Pan-fried turnip cake $4.50 good amount of turnip, tasty. - 蜜汁叉烧包 Steamed roast pork buns $4.50 pretty average. - 烧卖皇 Shiumai - pork and shrimp dumplings $4.95 not bad. - 晶瑩虾饺皇 Hargow - shrimp dumplings $5.50 came with four pieces, ate one already in my pic, decent version. Order this! - 豆沙包 Steamed red bean buns $4.50 not commonly found at most dimsum places, unfortunately the execution was just ok. - 芝麻卷 Sesame jelly rolls $4.50: also not usually found at other restaurants, lightly sweet with strong ground sesame flavor and texture. Would recommend! - 桂花糕 Osmanthus Cake $4.95 this is a floral, mildly sweet jello. On the firmer side, an interesting combination of flavor and texture. I enjoyed the unique flavor. - 干炒牛河 Beef chow fun - pan-fried wide rice noodles w/beef $18.95: served with a side of soup--this was a single bowl of a clear broth with a couple pieces of pork and a piece of abalone. Traditional flavors. The chow fun was pretty standard and I thought a little on the blander side though maybe bc the other items were slightly saltier in comparison. I found the service half a notch above some other dimsum restaurants, I think in part due to orders placed by each table and not having diners select items from a cart. The staff we interacted with were professional and polite. read more

I checked out a new dim sum spot the other day and it was good, for me it was on the same level as Asian Jewels. I thought everything as a whole was good but didn't have any wow dishes. Each dish was good but they each had subtle things I would change. The crispy roast pork was shockingly the best item. This place doesn't have carts, you order a la carte The food: Crispy Roast Pork Puff- This surprised me as my number one. The dough was nice and crispy without being oily and the pork filling was nice. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=Y_iTTjKvV5hLy-880SZzlA&select=BRizWthlY7oZ_BjFyACVUQ Steamed Rice Noodle Roll w. Shrimp- Overall, I thought the flavor of this was good but I felt the noodle itself was too thick. Shu Mai- This was made well, the filling had good flavor and texture. Stuffed Eggplant- I really wanted to love this dish and while the shrimp filling was made really well I felt this dish came off a bit bland. I did feel it got better the more I ate it. Crispy Egg Tart- The dough on this was excellent, but the custard part of this was very eggy. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=Y_iTTjKvV5hLy-880SZzlA&select=44ajtWBruVmED6d9Onxc4g Black Pepper Beef Ribs- The ribs were cut surprisingly thick, the ribs were nice and tender but to me there was this artificial black pepper flavor I didn't care for. read more

This time we checked out thus dim sum spot that instantly caught my eye with its royal decor and gorgeous tableware. The dim sum isn't the best, but the quality is there. Just a heads-up: there are no dim sum carts, so everything is ordered from the menu. Har kow won our approval with its plump and bouncy shrimps. My second favorite was pan-fried cheong fun with dried shrimp - we liked it so much that we had to order another round. Pro tip: Save room for dessert--they're worth it. Both the black sesame roll and osmanthus jelly were very lightly sweetened. I always get black sesame rolls at dim sum spots, and this one is my favorite so far for its subtle sweetness and rich, nutty flavor. My relatives highly recommended the pumpkin and corn sage, so we ended up getting two. - Siu Mai 燒賣 $4.95 * - Fish Ball 鯪魚球 $4.75 - Steamed Beef Meat Ball 山竹牛肉 $4.75 - Har Kow 蝦餃 $5.50 * - Pan Fried Rice Roll 煎蝦米腸粉 $4.95 * - Chiu Chow Steamed Dumpling 潮州粉果 $4.75 - Steamed Spare Ribe 排骨 $4.75 - Steamed Chicken Feet 鳳爪 $4.75 - Pumpkin and Corn Sage 南瓜粟米露 $4.95 * - Osmanthus Jelly 桂花糕 $4.95 * - Black Sesame Roll 芝麻卷 $4.50 * read more

Best dim sum place in NYC?! They don't have carts, but everything is so fresh. The prices are amazing, and I enjoyed everything we ordered. My favorites include the shumai, the custard buns, the tofu skin rolls, and the spring rolls. The egg tarts are so fresh. They were a bit slow with service when we were there (it was a Sunday morning, right when they opened at 11am, and it was packed), but I didn't mind waiting. They have a huge space with lots of tables. read more

I highly recommend Emperor Seafood. This is our go to place for Chinese new year and the food is always fresh and delicious. This year we requested a small room and it was perfect for our party of 10. The only requirement is that you had to spend $300. That was not a problem at all. We ordered a lot of different dim sum items as well as some noodle dishes, desserts, and all were excellent. Of course, downtown Flushing is a drag for parking but if you get there early enough, you can find parking garages which are fairly reasonable. Or, take the Long Island railroad from Penn Station or Grand Central if you're coming from the West. If you're coming from the east, you can also take the Port Washington line to Flushing Main Street. read more

Wondful spot in Queens off the municipal parking lot on the second floor. Love how the decor mimics the hutongs of china. Nice service, ample room. The highlights here are for sure the seafood items. Wonderful whole large oysters with black bean sauce. Delish. The crab with sticky rice is a must go order. Lobster cantonese style and any of their recommended whole steamed fish. Love the plate settings as it gives a added touch with the ambiance. Different than other places in Flushing. Will be back. read more

The food was mediocre. the servers gave a spot we explicitly said we didn't want to sit even after multiple reminders with many spots on the sides. The food also took extremely long with a 30 minute wait in-between small dishes. Even after the long wait, they would put a receipt on top of the food adding a dose of microplastics to the mix. Would not recommend , never going back ever again. read more

Emperor Seafood Restaurant 帝皇御宴 - Receipt on top of food. - Dim Sum Near Me - Flushing, New York

This is my favorite Chinese restaurant in NYC for banquet dinners!!! I love celebrating holidays and birthdays with family here. The private rooms are decorated so well, and the main dining area is nice too! The presentation of the dishes, especially the soup and when they use dry ice for certain dishes is so fun. I think the food is also delicious. My favorite dishes I've had are this one herbal/duck soup, crab legs, lobster, and this one dessert that's a crispy rice cake almost. The only thing is the paper towel dispenser in the bathroom has been broken the last two times I've been here, and the sink water is so icy cold. There can also sometimes be a draft in the restaurant so just a heads up if you get cold easily. read more

My friend and I came here after seeing a massive poster outside advertising a bunch of different dishes for only $16.95. It was only after coming inside that we found out that there is a disclaimer for ordering for that price which was not mentioned on the poster. We have to order one full price menu item to get that price for the second dish. Honestly, it was still worth it for the value but the lack of transparency really left a bad taste in my mouth. The decor was stunning and vibrant. We ordered two dishes - the braised fish and tofu casserole, as well as the seafood Tom Yum stew. I really enjoyed the Tom Yum stew as it had a lot of fresh seafood with expensive ingredients like scallop. It had the perfect balance of sweet and sour. However, I was disappointed by the fish and tofu dish. I've had it many times before but I've never had fish so dry. It was difficult to taste the pieces of fish as they were cut very thin and overly fried. It was unfortunate because the flavor was great and the portion was extremely generous. I also love the presentation and that they kept it over a burning flame so it stayed fresh and warm the entire meal. Also, we had exceptional service the entire time. My friend has dietary restrictions and they were extremely accommodating and made sure to inform the kitchen staff and make adjustments to our meal to fit our needs. read more

Arriving around 3pm in time for the lunch special, we saw the price went up to $13.99 per dish from $12.99. It was a quiet Monday so we were quickly seated. The decor is old school China wealth. I'm not a big fan but it's large with smaller rooms and can host groups, celebrations and private events. Immediately upon sitting down the waiter asked what kind of tea we want. We said no and they said chrysanthemum? Saying no again they walked away. Upon returning from the restroom I find a pot of tea on the table which e later we're chatged $1 per person. Not ok. They first came with a few herbal soup on the house. It was tasty but lacking salt. Once I added some it was soothing to the soul. Weer ordered a few dishes: Singaporean fried rice vermicelli, seafood udon, salt & pepper squid, Peking style pork chop, clams with black bean sauce, & stir-fried Napa cabbage with garlic. We also ordered 2 dim sum dishes. Service was on and food quickly arrived hot. Overall the food was average. I was not impressed or wow'd. Half of the dishes I added salt. Not sure if they forgot. I would definitely order the seafood udon and salt & pepper squid. The rest I definitely had better. The bill came out to be over $100, charged $4 for tea we did drink. While it's a nice place I probably would not return. read more

Fancy decor and table settings to match, this place has a spacious dining room area as well as several private rooms for group parties. It's dim sum menu is limited but made fresh to order. This visit I only tried like five dim sum dishes since it was meant to be a short pit stop. Little did I know, given it was made to order, it took way too long to get my items but that was my own undoing. I had ordered like two dishes at a time and then dessert so the short stop became over an hour for this lunch. Every dish was fresh and hot. Very pleased with the quality but I would've preferred my beef Rice Noodle the old fashioned way with the minced meat like baked rather than the full slices of beef that was presented. This is not your push cart dim sum style. You check off boxes on a paper menu and each item gets ticketed. As your items arrive, things get crossed off. This is to ensure you received what you ordered. Your food does come out on a cart and then distributed by matching orders with table numbers. Service is pretty quick otherwise since there is a large number of wait staff. I'm told the lunch specials are a deal and the dinner is very popular. Make a reservation otherwise you're not getting a table. We did attempt to return for dinner but even at 7pm on a Thursday, no can do. We were turned away as they were full to capacity. Oh well. Try again next time. read more

Came here for dim sum with friends and had a great time! All the food came out freshly steamed and tasted good. Favorites were the steamed rice roll with fried dough which had silky smooth texture and crispy fried dough. The spare ribs were good as well, and we liked that it included pumpkin bits which were sweet and balanced well with the salty meat. The sesame balls were also crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside with generous amount of red bean paste filling. The restaurant itself was relatively clean and spacious while the service was fast. Would definitely come back for dim sum again! read more

Tried a new Dim sum spot in flushing. Very fancy dim sum spot, no dim sum cart coming around asking if you certain dishes. But instead you check of from the menu. I usually don't go to Dim Sum spots like these, but I wanted to try something new and I'm glad we did. Everything came out quick and fresh. Huge differences between made to order on the spot from dim sum carts sitting in the steamer to long. You could definitely taste the freshest on each dish especially the taro dumplings & sesame balls. Not like some other places it's either way to oily or to soggy. It has this crispness on every bite. Here's our damaged for 2 people lol - Chicken feet - Black pepper beef ribs - Steam Pumpkin spareribs - century egg pork congee it's HUGE - mini sticky rice - Beef Balls - Taro Balls - Sesame balls with red bean paste - Bitter melon beef Cheung fun - plain Cheung fun - beef Cheung fun - Mango Sago Everything was delicious but the chicken feet. How could they mess up chicken feet? Definitely coming back here again. Fyi street parking only, but there's a parking lot on the same block for 2 hours for $5 cash only. read more

I did not enjoy the appetizer, sweet sticky rice and shrimp because i felt that they were not flavorful. Overall, an okay meal. My main complaint is the ac was turned on real low, so it was extremely not during the entire meal.

I was in town for family matters and I had the pleasure of enjoying Emperor Seafood for dim sum and a 10-course dinner. The restaurant has about 15 tables large tables in the main dining area plus multiple private rooms. Everything was fresh, delicious, and made better than many other dim sum places I've been to in the past. Typical shumai are 2-biter pieces, here it was a 4-biter with generous pieces of shrimp in between. The dimsum is a la carte style. You are handed a menu where you can write how many of each entree you would like and it is brought in a quick fashion. You can order additional items outside of the dim sum menu, as well. We got congee with ginger and pork, plus beef chow fun. I like they don't beat the chow fun in the wok into smaller pieces and keeps the noodles long. As for the dinner service, we reserved 10 tables, and selected the menu in advance. Food arrived to the tables promptly and everything was delicious. Note, condiments are not placed at each table and have to be requested. read more

Must have been an off night. While there were great dishes, there were a number of off things with the dishes that came. The pumpkin veggies dish came out not fully cooked, tough pumpkin skin...a no no. Yang chow fried rice which didn't have enough wokhei. It was ok, but not great. Lamb came out a bit salty, and I have fairly wide tolerance. On flip side, steamed fish was excellent. Lobster Cantonese was fine. Shrimp with walnuts was fine. Been here before, it definitely felt like we got the B team in the kitchen today. Service was fine, for Friday night the place was empty. While I'm not the authority on Cantonese food, my table partners were. And they said the same things. How odd. read more

We decided to go to this Cantonese restraunt for lunch. We arrived at 11:30am on a Saturday and it was pretty busy. The servers were really professional and nice. Upon sitting down, they served us tea right away. We ordered a couple of items, and each item was very high quality. Definitely a step up from a casual Cantonese restraunt. I saw they had king crab and GIANT lobsters. We got the congee with pork & century egg, abalone & chicken egg tart, pan fried radish cake, fried chive dumplings with pork & shrimp, "snow white" cha siu bao, steamed snow pea shoots dumplings, and rice noodles with beef. Each item came out as soon it was done being cooked. Every item was super fresh, and piping hot. The congee arrived at our table first, served on a hot tray with fire underneath. The presentation was very nice, and the server served us the congee in little bowls. The rice noodles had whole pieces of beef in it as opposed to the cheap ground beef they usually serve in them. It was high quality for sure. The chive dumplings were bursting with the generous pork & shrimp filling. My favorite item was the congee and chive dumplings. Would highly recommend for a casual family dinner . The bill came up to $60 for the 7 items. It's more expensive than most places, but their quality is worth it. read more

Lots of variety, but nothing special in terms of flavor. This place is about looks, not taste. They attract crowds for banquets with sashimi and seafood platters and a fancy menu, but there seem to be no signature dishes worth coming back for. I'd rather go to Asia Jewel Seafood with better food, price, and service with valet parking too. Staff will demand at least 15% tip for dim sum ($200) with five adults even if you pay cash for 80% of the items being take-out and can't get service with water for all the MSG. Valet parking is convenient if only they advertised it beyond the sign at the door way. read more

I was fortunate to have been invited to a wedding reception at Emperor Seafood Restaurant! I had read about this restaurant from fellow yelpers (mostly for dim sum) but hadn't had a chance to go until this wedding reception. This was indeed a very special way to experience Emperor Seafood Restaurant for the first time. Rumor was that this dinner was a $2K per table meal! Whoa! It was fabulous! We had course after course, of mostly seafood (lobster, king crab, abalone, etc) but the highlight was an entire roast suckling pig served to each table! You must see my photos to believe it. It was a pretty impressive presentation; albeit the flashing red lightbulbs in the eyes were rather creepy (made the pig look possessed! lol). The suckling pig was served Peking Duck Style. I've never had it served this way before, and it was delicious! Needless to say, we had a lot of leftover pork, which everyone gladly took home. The entire meal was delicious, although the flavors were very mild. Bolder flavors would have made this meal outstanding. What was outstanding, was the presentation of each dish. What wasn't outstanding, was the service (hence 4 stars). Although service overall was good, there was a constant rushed feeling we got to finish each course quickly. This was a grand wedding reception and we shouldn't have been made to feel rushed through our meal. Emperor's Seafood Restaurant is a relatively new restaurant in Flushing, and the decor is very modern and beautiful. I would definitely return for a meal or dim sum. read more
