    We had a group of 7 so we had free Peking duck buns, one per person. The food is always good here and the price is very fair for flushing. We love their soup dumplings. I do like the bayside location more than the flushing location because flushing only has one bathroom and it's a smaller compared to bayside.

    Peking duck bun

    Such an awesome place! That sells Peking duck bun by the piece! For a very reasonable price. Perfect for a flushing food tour, and delicious portion of crispy, fatty, duck in a nice bun. Would definitely go back and am salivating thinking of it!

    I'm here again in downtown Flushing, the place to go for reasonably priced asian food and reasonably priced anything. I gotta slow down eating out so often. I think I'm gaining weight. However, its somewhat diffucult because my whole family are all foodies, and my niece is a Yelper. In any case, my wife wanted to grab a few Peking Duck wraps, $2.75 each, at the outside takeout window. You can't go wrong with Peking Duck. It was delicious and very satisfying. Recommend if you need a quick bite to eat.

    All it takes is one year for changes in the menu. Last year one could have two duck buns and get six soup dumplings on the house. This year? The bill came to $13.34 as I was charged $9.50 for the dumplings even though the bill clearly showed Free Soup Dumpling. Therein lies the mystery. The bun was served with great flair and was tasty. The soup dumplings had the requisite thin skin and juicy pork filling. Lots of the customers had ordered these or a variation of it as many are now available. A bowl of congee is also given to all. Service is efficient. A fine looking China teapot is on each table and I asked for iced water. A gender neutral restroom is at the back. As one enters Shanghai You Garden one can see line cooks making the celebrated dumplings. No visit is complete without eating even a small bite here.

    Peking Duck per piece
    Mark S.

    This place is what Flushing is all about! Their duck buns are incredibly affordable and even more delicious. The meat is so juicy and tender, and when paired with the crispy, sharp green onions and the soft bun, you get an amazing bite at an extremely affordable price. The service is fast and efficient, and if you don't feel like eating in, you can just use their super convenient takeout window. Just keep in mind they are cash only, but I highly recommend this place!

    I've been coming here since they first opened and I'm so glad their business has gotten better and better that they've expanded for more dine in seats (they got the place next door and opened up the upper floor). Pretty authentic Shanghainese cuisine, I know it's not as good as those in Shanghai ofc but hey, it's close! Deal for dine in: spend $10 or more and get either free pork soup dumplings (6pcs) or a pc of Peking duck bun per person at the table. I always opt for the soup dumplings! I usually come for breakfast/lunch so I regularly order the same (for 2 persons - to share): - salted tofu pudding - 4 pc turnip puff - 4 pc pork moon cake - shredded pork and preserved vegetable noodle soup - curry beef vermicelli soup Environment: usually busy Service: standard Please note: cash only

    Finally able to visit this popular spot. Been hearing great stuff for many years but never dine in until now. Came with friends for an late breakfast (or is it brunch?). There is a dine-in table promotion [must spend $10] which you can get a choice of either: 1 order pork soup dumplings OR 1 piece Peking duck bun per person at the table. We chose the soup dumplings. Family style meal; we ordered: Braised Pork, Fried dough rice roll, Spicy Pork Soup Dumpling, Soy Sauce Duck, Garlic Cucumber, Roast Ribs, and Pan-fried Beef Udon Noodles. Place is super spacious and stretch all the way to the back. Service and staff was quick; staff brought over stuff as soon as it was ready as it was early with only a few other tables filled. Lots of eyes to pay attention to us since they had just opened for the day. Food was good. Spicy pork soup dumplings were not that spicy. Everything was amazing! Flavorful and tender, crispy (duck skin), or crunchy (cucumber). My favorite (also the table's favorite) was the braised pork. So tender and flavorful that it melts in your mouth- goes great with a bowl of hot steaming fresh rice. The garlic cucumber provides a great palate cleanser as it was refreshing. I'm a noodle lover but we did struggle to finish the udon as it wasn't anything special compared to the other dishes. The udon was nicely charred (wok hay) but we enjoyed the other dishes more. Good thing it came last We finished everything even though some were abit heavy for a first meal of the day. That is why you wash everything down with many cups of hot tea!!! At the end of the meal, it even came with a complimentary dessert soup at the end. That was a lovely sweet surprise. Highly recommend! I'm super happy that I was able to visit here and try the food. Although it would also been nice to try their Peking duck bun as they are known for it. Perhaps another visit.

    Cold appetizers, dimsum, noodles, cabbage
    Mei T.

    This place has a nice Shanghai vibe. Decor has scrolls with Chinese sayings and story on the wall and ceiling. Plenty of tables for small or large groups. We had Cold appetizers front the front display area, dimsum dishes, Rice Cake with Shredded Chicken, Shredded Sauteed Cabbage, Scallion Pancake W. Sliced Beef, Steamed Pork Soup Dumplings. Lots of good food! The service was polite and relatively fast. They did not rush you out. Relaxed pace. Okay date place. Parking is a little harder to fine.

    Wontons in peanut sauce, Pan fried pork buns, Soup dumplings, Sesame ball, tofu skin roll
    Ingrid H.

    This is a nice place with a well decorated interior that serves dim sum all day. Somehow, they give every table a free order of soup dumplings. We tried several dim sum items. The fried tiny buns were the best, the filling was very juicy and the texture of the bun was perfect with a soft bready shell that soaked up flavor from the filling, and a crispy exterior. The sesame balls will also delicious. They had just the right amount of greasiness and were filled with rich red bean. The wontons in peanut sauce were filled with pork and vegetables, and the sauce was balanced and flavorful. The bean curd roll had good flavor, and the pork filling is studded with pieces of bouncy shrimp. The free soup dumplings were quite good also, with a good amount of rich, porky soup in each which paired perfectly with the standard black vinegar ginger sauce. The prices are very reasonable. We really enjoyed our experience here.

    Pork belly
    Felipe W.

    Everything brought to the table was absolutely amazing! The pork belly was a home run, the soup dumplings was a fan favorite, the asparagus was the best it can be, and oof, that soup. This is the soup you wish you had when you're sick - it's got all the fat, flavor, tons of vegetables and tons of meat. In fact it was so fatty I had to ask for water to dilute it. Come here for a guaranteed amazing time with Chinese food - they know what they're doing and they're not afraid to show off. For the vibes - you can see the amount of work they put into having a traditional theme with flair. Even in food with the pig and pork belly on its back - hilarious!

    Just went for the famous duck bun- really good and quick service (can get at window). Really yummy and affordable- prices have gone up but still a good cheap bite. Overall good- nothing crazy since viral but good

    Pan fried pork dumplings
    Kevin He Zhong Q.

    This is the only restaurant that reminds me a little of home in Shanghai. I'm from LA, so whenever I'm in NYC this is a must visit restaurant. My must get items are the XLB, pan fried pork dumplings, duck vermicelli. The XLB has the perfect thickness of skin to soup and filling ratio that reminds me of the XLB in Shanghai. All the other breakfast items are childhood nostalgic items that I used to get as a kid walking to school. When you're done with your meal they give a complimentary dessert which is awesome. Service is pretty friendly and they bring out food quickly. I wouldn't expect asian restaurants to give phenomenal service anyway as I'm going for the food.

    Maggie O.

    Came here for the peking duck and was pleasantly surprised by the Bao Zi and the Xiao Long Bao! Service was typical Chinese restaurant and ambiance was good. If you spend $10+ dining in you can get the Xiao Long Bao for free! Peking Duck - 9.5/10, around $2.75 each which is pretty fairly priced (half duck is more worth though), it was pretty good but nothing special Pan Fried Bao Zi - 10/10, super juicy and delicious! Xiao long bao - 9/10, typical xiao long bao but this was great on a rainy day! Would stop by again just because of the great deal and food!

    All soup dumplings are pork based? My middle easterner friends can't have pork 😅🙈

    They do not have veggie dumplings, and the only difference is you can get them all pork or pork with crab broth. You will be hard pressed to find halal dishes in Flushing, unless you go to a vegetarian restaurant. You can also try Joe's Shanghai, as… 

    How was the take out experiences? Long wait? Was the food as good as dine in?

    This food is meant to be eaten fresh, in the restaurant. If you get take out, it's still very good, but your soup dumplings won't have any soup left.

    It's cash only, they have an ATM. The food is wonderful.

    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.

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.

The restaurant is partitioned up into several different rooms where they will push carts in and out of the rooms themselves. I was seated in some place that almost looked like a back room, but it was still decorated in the dim sum restaurant kind of theme. Service itself was pretty consistent. We didn't have to wait too long to get any of the desired dishes that we wanted. Ambience: I think your typical staple dim sum restaurant ambiance was here. Definitely felt very conversational with family. Was not too quiet or too loud. Food: I don't think that the dim sum here was that good. It didn't wow me as much as I was expecting it to. I initially saw this on one of the Michelin Guide website, and I was expecting a little more out of this place. Of all the places that I've had dim sum at, I just feel like this was more okay rather than anything special. For example the shumai didn't have that "juicy bite" kind of feel that you usually get. Again, nothing about this restaurant was bad per se, but I just felt like this was in the lower tier of all the dim sum places that I've had. I think for this reason, it gets a 3/5 for me.

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.
