Royal Queen is a large Cantonese restaurant in Flushing that focuses on traditional dim sum and banquet-style dining. 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. read more

Royal Queen Restaurant - Dim Sum Near Me - Flushing, New York

Good for big big group or wedding. Located in 3rd floor. Flushing, NY Pretty good chinese food. We decided to try last minute, we have a group of 30ppl, takes about 3-4 big tables They took our reservation last minute. Our family ordered a lot. The only one we kinda disappointed was their steam range chicken, the inside still kinda pinkish raw. The manager said it's how they cook it. He was willing to change a new chicken dish for us. We didn't even know if he ended charge us for it. Overall is ok. Portion is huge. read more

BLUF: Somewhere between OK and Good, but there might be consistency and customer service issues. Dim-sum in Downtown Flushing, Queens, is mediocre. There are no great places here. There are some generally Good (4 stars) places, like Asian Jewels and Emperor Seafood, but most other places are somewhere between OK and Good (between 3 and 4 stars). Royal Queen 君豪大酒楼 is part of that latter group -- there are good things, but there is also mediocrity; and there are customer service issues. The good: - Beef Rice Noodle Rolls: The rice noodle rolls here are generally silky soft. There is supposedly parsley in the beef mince but we noticed little to none in the versions we've had. Royal Queen is generous with the sweetened soy sauce; they pour it from a teapot. - Pan-Fried Leek Dumplings 韭菜煎蝦餃: the shrimp are generally fresh and crisp. - Shrimp Siu Mai with Pork 蝦粒乾蒸燒賣: above average. - The Osmanthus Jelly 杞子桂花糕 has a deeper hue than most other places in Queens. The OK: - Five-Spice Braised Beef Tendon 五香蒸牛筋: pieces are generally little too large and not as consistently soft as other places. - Steamed Leek Dumplings: get the pan-fried version instead. - Stuffed Peppers 煎釀青椒: as with other places, inconsistently cleaned so there can be one or two bites that have an extreme amount of heat. - Shrimp Siu Mai: essentially the same as the ha gow, but in a different wrapper. I think we prefer the shrimp siu mai over the ha gow here. The Could Be Better: - Taro Dumplings (Wu Gok 芋角): lacks ingredients in the filling. - Staffing and Quality Control Issues: Royal Queen has plenty of staff, yet sometimes there aren't enough people working the dim-sum carts. Like many other Chinese restaurants, it seems that staff aren't empowered to address food quality issues. - The restrooms can be pretty good compared to those in other parts of the building. We observed people come into and out of the restaurant seemingly just to use the restrooms. However, there are times when the restrooms could be better maintained. read more

Looking for a pushcart restaurant to get my dim sum fix before Lunar New Year crowds begin, I visited Royal Queen Restaurant on a Saturday in January. We arrived at 11:30 AM and were seated promptly at a four-top. We requested soy sauce, hot sauce, and a Diet Coke, all of which our server brought over quickly. From there, we started plucking items from the passing carts. One of the pushcart attendants was especially helpful and proactively went to find an item we asked about, the steamed pork buns, which we appreciated. I had read that Royal Queen offers a large selection of dim sum. While the variety was decent, it was missing several staples we love, including siu mai, spring rolls, and pork dumplings. Shrimp dominated the menu here with most items containing it. Even the vegetable dumplings included shrimp, and the taro puffs had a noticeably fishy flavor. There were no true vegetable or vegetarian dumplings and no pork-only dumplings available. Portion sizes were inconsistent. Some items, like the taro puff and beef ball, were enormous, while others, such as the rice rolls stuffed with roast pork, lacked sufficient filling. The standout dishes were the crystal shrimp dumplings and the eggplant stuffed with fish. Overall, this was a pretty basic dim sum experience, best suited for shrimp lovers. I would strongly recommend skipping this restaurant if you dislike shrimp or have a shrimp allergy, as it heavily dominates the menu. read more

This is my go-to dim sum place. My favorite dish is their shumai that has pork on the bottom with shrimp on the top. Also love their mango yangzhiganlu. Their rib is also really good. My friend and I ordered about $27.5 each after tip. I love how the aunties may have started recognizing me so they know what I want. read more

Such a happy accident to find this spot. Was looking for the food hall but walked in to the New World Mall instead. Bottom floor has a couple of food stalls. Second is a grocery store. More food on the third I think. Royal Queen is the top billing. I haven't been to a legit Dim Sum place in some time. Starving though and the idea of having food immediately was appealing. Man. Look at the selection. Everything hot and fresh. I had the rice paper wrapped donut for the first time ever and honestly, what's up with that?! Definitely give it a try if you like the Taiwanese donut. There was dessert as well. Other typical dishes available. You can also order off the menu if you prefer bigger dishes. Not the cleanest place (our table cloth wasn't changed out) and not the best service but the food was really good and affordable. Definitely beats out other Chinatowns. read more

I saw a TikTok recommending the dim sum at Royal Queen, so I decided to give them a try. These days, the quality of dim sum in the neighborhood has really taken a nosedive and unfortunately, Royal Queen does not prove to be the exception. The restaurant is located on the top floor of the New World Mall, and the space is absolutely grand and built to entertain (think high ceilings and chandeliers galore). I think I would be open to return for dinner service, but currently I don't think the quality of their dim sum warrants a revisit. There was an extremely limited selection available when we visited on a Sunday morning around 10am, which frankly I find unacceptable as these are prime dining hours. What few dishes were available like the siu mai and har gow were overcooked and mushy. Overall, I was not impressed with the quality of food at Royal Queen but I will concede that the space is clean and the service is good. read more

We hosted a party here Royal Queen and it was a disaster. We rented what we thought would be a private room off the side of the restaurant turned out to be only make-shift ultra thin panel dividers separating us from (what we thought would be a private party) and ended up be in the MIDDLE of a wedding! Our so-called private party was accessible only by walking through the middle of a wedding and next to another party who were karaoking (really badly!) This restaurant did not inform us that there would be a wedding at the same time! We asked if there is anything going that the same night we would host our party, and their response was no. What a liar! Our guests were horrified by this and to top off my baby had to deal with all that noise, from the loud wedding and then the horrible karaoke, all separated by thin panels. No privacy and loud. Never want to deal with a restaurant that will deceive guests. We are never going back to this restaurant ever again. read more

Went here for dim sum on a Sunday afternoon and was able to get a table for 7 pretty easily. They have dim sum carts until about 2:30-3 pm. I liked that they put a lot of shrimp in the shrimp dumpling. I wish the turnip cake was pan fried a little bit more so it would be crispier. I appreciated the wide variety of dim sum that they had. Overall, I would say the dim sum was pretty standard and tasty. Wouldn't say it's the most amazing dim sum I've ever had but definitely satisfied my dim sum cravings! read more

Located at the top floor of New World Mall, Royal Queen had the perfect opportunity to make a grand entrance a decade ago. Instead, it faced one of the most tumultuous starts for a dim sum spot, plagued by poor service, mediocre food, and frequent price hikes. Following the pandemic, they've managed to stay afloat and correct its course. The changes have been met with praise: the food and variety has improved drastically, the service is an improvement over what it once was, and the name 皇后名粥 which is "Queens Famous Congee" seems well-deserved. One area that they've never struggled in is the ambiance. The interior is well-lit, spacious, and with enough gaudy decor to keep the mood festive and ideal for banquet gatherings. They even deserve kudos for the cleaner bathroom and touchless faucets. Folks who enjoy the nostalgia will be pleased to know this is still one of the few places that incorporates push cart dim sum (#1). Some of the highlights have definitely been the siu mai, silky soft cheung fun rice noodles, a fragrant sticky rice in tea leaf, and a very tasty bbq pork pastry. I was also pleased with their fried taro dumpling and congee options. Of course, there were some misses, which were the pork spare ribs, sesame balls, cow tripe strips, and egg tarts. Their premium plates, such as the truffled siu mai, or the scallop medallion dumplings are fine but not for the upcharge. I find that their dinner variety is more appealing and wedding receptions are actually halfway decent. Where I think a lot of their snafus lie is in the latter, in which special occasions are completely overshadowed in lapses in service. I realize they're better than what they were, but for many large parties that require extra coordination, the risk is still very high for some kind of mishap. I would consider proceeding with caution but consider their dim sum hour as the most play-it-safe option. __________ (#1) Less of a thing in Asia now because #foodquality read more

Royal Queen has been around for almost a decade now and it's at the 3rd floor of the New World Mall. It boasts a grandiose venue and the ceilings are extremely tall filled with chandeliers. The restaurant is a dim sum spot in the morning, a restaurant at night and a space for gatherings like weddings, galas and other events. Despite the size, shape and scale, the restaurant is still quite tacky with its service and is almost what you would expect when entering some local restaurants in the area. Taste: 4/5 Service: 2.5/5 - the aunties pushing the carts will ambush and rush you, becoming overwhelming very quickly Ambiance: 3.5/5 Value for money: 4/5 At the end of the day, the food is quite good and if you're used to rushed service, this place is quite nice! read more

Royal Queen Restaurant - Dim sum - Dim Sum Near Me - Flushing, New York

I love Chinese food, but this is my first Banquet experience & it didnt dissapoint! 10 course meal and every thing came out fresh, hot & delicious. I'm used to eating chinese food family style, but for for the banquet dishes comes one dish at a time with the rice & noodles coming almost at the end. The good thing is the dont clear prior dishes & instead transfer it to smaller plates so we have the option of finishing a dish instead of it going to waste. Waiters are also nice & patient compares to the usual Chinese. Its a big place, good for event & get togethers. Price is fair & paid parking available around the area, but subway is best option i think. Highly recommend & planning to come back. read more

Ambiance (5/5): The restaurant is located in the New World Mall, 3rd fl with the dining area located inside a HUGE banquet hall. So the décor is decorated for the purpose and the facilities are very clean, including the bathrooms. The tables are spaced far apart so it doesn't feel crammed and there are a million dining tables. I have a hard time believing that it could be at 100% capacity if they tried. Service (5/5): Agree with other reviews that knowing Mandarin is pretty necessary to communicate certain needs. However, if you are going for dimsum, you can easily just point to the dishes that you want. It may take some time to get someone's attention but they are quick to fetch whatever you need. There's some stations in the main dining area where they cook the food in front of you! Food (4/5): The dishes vary on taste and portions. We had tried probably close to 15+ dishes and 80% of them were authentic to taste/quality/portions. My favorite might be their egg tarts which were freshly baked, crunchy, and not too sweet. We had the chicken feet, shumai, steamed rice rolls, steamed rice in bamboo leaves, tofu rolls, spare ribs, short ribs, fried dough, fried buns with black sesame, bbq pork buns, pork dumplings, steamed custard buns, dumpling w chives/shrimp, steamed tofu. For our table of 7 people, our bill came out to $33/p with tip included. Stuffed to the max! Will definitely come back. read more

Quite expensive for dimsum and it was average. I got the Ha Gao and the Siu Mai and I will say in the war between Flushing and Brooklyn dimsums, so far Brooklyn (Bamboo, East Harbor etc.) is beating out Flushing (Royal Queen, Asian Jewel, and Pavilion). Both dishes (which I use to compare) were smaller, with less filling that other places I had visited. Service is with push carts - the old school way! Probably won't be coming back any time soon. read more

I had dim sum here last weekend. Everything was very well cooked and it was reasonably priced. We ordered a non-dim sum menu item, stone snails, which were good but a pain to eat.

Royal Queen Restaurant - Dim Sum Near Me - Flushing, New York

Was here for a banquet not the regular restaurant. Service was spotty and the food mediocre. Don't know what it's like if you eat out front.

There are hundreds of Chinese restaurants in Flushing and this is by far the worst one I have ever experienced. The foods are really bad and the dim sum cart people come over were super pushy, and wanted us to grab everything. The foods are pretty bad and they pretty much add sugar in everything. And we ordered tea, which is $6 a pot and they never came to refill it for us. There's a sign saying we get free parking eating there, but turns out it has to be at least $100 to get free parking, or after 6 pm. Their manager and waitress are pretty rude. Worst experience ever read more

My cousin had a birthday party here and it was overall a good experience. The location is a little hard to navigate but it is located on the fourth floor of the Grand Mall. Some of my favorite dishes there were the roast half duck, the lobster with cheese and the green beans. They have a massive screen for karaoke and many event space rooms. It's a very solid place for events and a pretty good spot for just Chinese food as well. read more

It is rare I rate a restaurant so low because I know the possible impact. However the experience we had was not acceptable and want to bring to your attention if you decide to go. First, I will let you know the food is delicious. We have been to this place many times for dim sum and dinner. The place is spacious and is created for large group events and celebration. On this occasion, we came at 3:50pm on the border of lunch transitioning to dinner time. There was a lunch menu on the table. We asked one of the hostess, and we're informed that we can order from the lunch menu. Once we decided, we waited to place the order and another hostess came, and we were essentially informed that we cannot order from the lunch menu, even though we were told otherwise. After they consulted with each other, informed that we will only be given the seafood noodle dish as a lunch item ($29.95) and everything else we will have to order from the dinner menu. we decided to order everything in the dinner portion and pay the price, but only to discover the noodle dish was actually more expensive during lunch. Dinner price $26.95. Not OK. After a short wait food came and we enjoyed our meal pouring behind the incident we just had. Upon finishing we requested the bill only to find out that we were charged for tea. We did not have tea. Upon inquiring, we were told that because we were served tap water in a glass, there's a tea fee per person. Not ok. Unheard of. We felt again we were taken advantage of for a few dollars where they can. The dinner bill came out to about $200 which we did not mind paying for good food & service but we will not be served in this way. I would not consider going back nor recommend dishonest business. read more

Food (4/5): We ordered a variety of dim sum with some of my favorites being the shrimp and corn ball, shumai, hargow, dumplings, mango dessert, and turnip cake. Service (3/5): Dim Sum cart people are pushing around a bunch of options on carts. They come are relatively frequently early on and will get dishes out to you quickly. No one is particularly friendly and many don't speak English but they'll help when needed.

Conveniently located on top of new world mall, this place is great for banquets or a night out with friends. I was curious to see how the place was and found myself wandering to explore the karaoke area. They have private party rooms for special occasion dinner and a modern twist to Asian wedding or celebration. For the larger groups, there is a nice stage set up. The food was good as we tried a typical Asian set menu. The bathroom cleanliness needs some improvement. The escalators were not working when we were there.

For the most part, the dimsum we ordered was good. The only ones I did not like were the "Har Gow" and the taro puff. The "Har Gow" had good filling, but the skin completely fell apart when picking it up and felt like it was disintegrating in your mouth. The taro puff was super dry and lacked flavor. It was not crowded, but the staff was not very attentive either. Despite opening the lid to refill our tea, my friend actively tried to get the attention of the waiters 3x before we had assistance. read more

This has been our go to dim sum spot in downtown Flushing lately with reasonable prices, fresh dim sum and a good selection/variety of dishes. I've had dim sum here on the weekend both earlier around 10am and a little later around 1p and I'd say the selection is just as good if you happen to come later whereas most dim sum places tend to run out of most things by the late afternoon and are not as fresh. This also happens to be one of my mom's go to take out dim sum spots in the area as well when she wants to pick up dim sum for us so definitely has our vote! read more

Wow, what an experience. This is what I imagine where multi-million business deals amongst Chinese business men occur in NYC. For Chinese readers, Tu Hao/ FuErFai (nouveau rich place in NYC). Please don't expect Din Tai Fung, hand pulled noodles or spicy Sichuan cuisine. This is opulent Chinese Cantonese food, with crazy hand carved melons adorning all the plates. You'll be seated next to walls full of LEDs flashing advertising and techno music playing in the background. There's even a karaoke bar next door near the restrooms. read more
