Best: Malaysian Cakes, Fresh Fruit Tapioca; Good: Rice Rolls w. Crispy Dough, Pork Siu Mai, Bamboo Sheet Roll; Okay: Sticky Rice, Pan Fried Chive Cakes, Soupy Dumplings; Avoid: Spare Ribs w. Garlic, Steamed Short Ribs. Came here for dim sum on a Thursday morning(!), and of course the place was empty. I came here a few times before when it was Sunway, and nothing seems to have changed. The Malaysian Cakes are still good here. Most of the dim sum items were decent, except both of the ribs we got were hard to chew. I liked the Fresh Fruit Tapioca, though, it was nice and refreshing and not too sweet. Service was good, probably because we were the only ones there :) read more

This is the new Sunway. Nothing has changed, it's still dark in here, food is still decent. Not sure why people give such bad reviews, it's satisfying for those late night cravings and just a good place for big groups. Still has the same menu with dimsum you can order on the piece of paper, fried rice, hearty noodle dishes. read more

**This is my same review from sunway because they're the same, just a name change! I always enjoy the food here and frequently order delivery when I'm in the area. Service is dependent on what time you go and since they mostly speak Chinese, it may come off as rude but it's not terrible. I've had mostly good encounters so far, and there's this older man who's usually there and will sit you as soon as you walk in! As for the food, it's subpar dimsum and a whole variety of Chinese food. I've had almost all of their dimsums, noodles, rice dishes, and desserts. I have to recommend their drinks too! They're beautiful when they're served and taste amazing too! The only reason I'm giving them a 4 star is for the service. They do tend to focus more on Chinese speaking customers and although that's common in flushing, its a big no in my books. read more

This place is awesome ! Your typical fast food joint but, good food, nicely spaced seating, quick service and the inside is pretty nice too I didn't get a photo unfortunately. The hot and sour soup arrived first it was so good I was suppose to share but I ate it all ! Shrimp fried rice was nice and hot perf amount of shrimp in each bite. Those spare ribs are a must have. GET THEM. I was sucking the sauce from the bones that's how good they were. The shumai was huge in size and was yummy. The rice rolls were my bfs order he seemed to love it. The steak in black pepper sauce was perfect not too salty not too bland the flavor was spot on and the sauce was the perfect level of creamy. The steak itself was cooked beautifully to my liking.

Not edible! Pass on this restaurant! The location is in the heart of Flushing, with a lot of tourists. We ordered six dishes and had to return four! This place claims to have dim sum all day/night. I now understand why...it's because they re-heat the dim sum! It was awful...the worst dim sum...the beef balls didn't taste like beef. The texture was dense and rubbery and the smell was something awful. It made us question if it was beef at all? The wontons were worst- they were so salty and the little meat they stuffed them with tasted as though they used tenderizer, like baking soda. They were under cooked and the noodles were cool in the hot broth. The waitress didn't give us any problems when we asked to return the dishes. The owner came over to talk to us and said all the dim sum is always freshly made...there was no way. This restaurant stays open very late, with their main customers being tourists. Their way of cooking is by re-heating on top of re-heating. Didn't see any locals eating there. We had a late flight back home to LaGuardia and this was one of the few places still open. This place should have a status "D" or "Pending Evaluation" on the door! Makes me so angry that restaurants like this are even open! read more

Ordered 32.95 dollars for lobster congee. When I got it, I found their lobster Congee = the lobster is boiled in water and put into the pre-cooked Plain Congee, rather than cooked with lobster and Congee. It doesn't have any seasonings, it doesn't have any taste of seafood. Not even a bit of scallion or salt. When I called to ask about this, the waiter shamelessly told me "Yes, our lobster Congee is Plain boiled lobster in a pre-cooked Plain Congee."

Went in without reading any reviews or knowledge of the place. Was pleasantly surprised by how spacious and clean it was compared to other restaurants in the area. I ordered the soup dumpling , Rice Roll w/ Crispy dough, and a green apple drink. Food was decent, nothing too memorable, but good ambiance and I loved my drink~ The highlight of this place was my bubble tea! Umm why isn't this place buzzing for their drinks?! It was the Apple Carousel drink that I got~ The tapioca tasted unique to this store- hints of cinnamon and the perfect chewiness. Even the complementary black tea they served us was fresh and brewed just right. Will most definitely be coming back to try their milk teas next time. read more

This place is great. I ordered way too much dim sum and devoured most of it. Loved every bite. I tasted my companion's sesame chicken and I don't think I can ever go back to the MSG-fueled stuff that passes for sesame chicken in my area. Such complex and balanced flavor! Also love that they're open late. My only criticism is that the sticky rice contains hidden shrimp, which is not mentioned on the menu. An unpleasant surprise for my companion, who is allergic. But we share some blame for that, as we also didn't tell the server about the allergy.. Otherwise, great all around. read more

Always here for a late night grub! The restaurant is pretty clean and spacious, so you don't ever have to worry about waiting for a table. The servers here are your typical Chinese parents, but they do try their best to present the most American service possible. Our server joked around with us, continuously refilled our water, and checked if we needed anything every now and then. We got a few dim sum dishes, stir fried rice cake, and curry squid. I LOVE THEIR CURRY! It taste so good if you order a side of rice and mix it together. Their rice cake was bomb too. We also got their soup dumplings that isn't in the picture, but just to inform you, it takes about 15-20 minutes to come out. The soup dumplings were smaller than the usual size, but was extremely flavorful. Authentic Chinese cuisine and opens til late night.

Emperor Seafood Restaurant 帝皇御宴

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 came back again for a friend's father's 80th birthday just a short month later. This time, food was better, but the same pork chops were not as good. For me, inconsistency is definitely a huge issue here. This time around, the Dungeness Crab Fried Sticky Rice and Lobster Cantonese Style were the top two dishes. Most of the other dishes were fine, with a couple of below average items. Honestly, I have been here over a dozen times and it's always been up and down.

The lady was nice and knowledgeable about what she's doing. No receipt given to us but she recognized our faces upon our return. When we picked up our order, there was at least & persons on queue.

Royal Queen Restaurant

Honestly my family enjoyed the food for our first time being there , however when my family and I…read morehad discussed with multiple servers about accomodations because of a medical condition ( Silent reflux ) , and asked for plain steamed chicken , they gave us the regular steamed chicken with the shaoxing wine and scallions. Don't get me wrong that's a great dish for someone who can eat it. But it felt very unprofessional. As a family we even pre planned what we were going to order , we even came at a less busier time. I get that restaurants like this prepare things ahead of time , but it's disappointing to see that accomodations for medical conditions are not much of a priority here. Food is an experience everyone should be able to enjoy, including those with medical conditions. It was disappointing that our request for a medically necessary accommodation wasn't fulfilled.

You step into Royal Queen on the top floor of Flushing's New World Mall, and instantly, the sheer…read morescale of the operation hits you like a slap in the face. It isn't just a restaurant; it's a cathedral of consumption. Look up quickly at that ceiling, a massive, radiating sunburst of gold and crystal chandeliers draped in waterfalls of white string, call it "sungold".. It's theatrical. It's loud. It's completely uncompromising and visually energetic and right up on your stuff. People think fine dining is about snooty & hushed dining rooms, white linen or silk tablecloths, and waiters moving like iceskating gohsts. That'sghosts. Real gastronomy is about energy, precision, and respect for the ingredient.ls. And here, in a cavernous banquet hall in Queens packed with hundreds of people clinking teapots and hailing steam carts, there is an absolute purity of discipline. I sat down, and within thirty seconds, the assault began. First came the Siu Mai. Look at the structure. Most chefs get lazy they pad the filling with filler, turn the pork to rubber, and overcook the shrimp until it loses its soul. But here? You bite through that paper thin yellow wrapper, and there is an unmistakable, violent snap of fresh, sweet prawn bound with perfectly seasoned pork. It's juicy, rich, and utterly balanced. No nonsense. Just technique. Then, the Har Gow. The true test of any dim sum kitchen. If the translucent skin sticks to the bamboo steamer or tears under your chopsticks, the kitchen has failed. Period. But when the basket opened, the steam rose with that clean, pure scent of rice starch and sweet seafood. The pleating on the dumpling was flawless tight, delicate, holding together a filling of whole, pristine shrimp that tasted like they were swimming an hour ago. And the atmosphere? Pure theatre. The carts weave through the room like a well-drilled brigade during a Friday night rush. The giant LED screens blaring event packages in gold and crimson, the hum of conversation, the crack of crispy pork belly skin three tables over, it's alive. Most people come to places like this and just see a crowded room. I see conviction. I see chefs back in that kitchen who understand that simplicity is the hardest thing to master. You cannot hide behind a fancy reduction or a sprig of chervil here. The dumpling is either perfect, or it's garbage. At Royal Queen, it's extraordinary. Pure, unadulterated passion on a bamboo steamer. Perfection.

Each one was perfectly pleated, with thin, delicate wrappers that held a burst of piping-hot, flavorful broth. The black truffle was intensely aromatic, the crab & pork was rich and savory, and the luffa offered a surprisingly light, refreshing twist. Honestly, these rival (if not beat) Tang Tai Fan in Manhattan--at half the price. A true hidden gem!

Crown One 御庭酒楼

As Flushing's dim sum scene becomes less saturated, it's places like Crown One (御庭酒楼) that are…read morekeeping the Canto dream alive. While the food isn't necessarily going to win any awards, their space as a venue is what keeps them unique. Couple this with free onsite parking and spacious digs, and it becomes a destination. The main dining hall is surrounded by bright lights, a large LCD TV, and number of tables that are perfect for groups. This is a pushcart service, which is good news for those who want the nostalgia of choosing things directly from the cart. Not all the service workers are Canto-speaking, as I heard dialects from Wenzhou, Toisan (#1), and likely Fukinese. During the late afternoon, it's important to flag them down because it may take awhile for them to make the full round. From chiu chow dumplings (潮州粉粿) to shrimp dumplings (蝦餃), the selection is standard and well portioned. The steamed variety is preferred here, with some immediate hits in the form of spare ribs (排骨), shrimp rice roll (蝦腸粉), and glutinous rice wrap (糯米雞). The coconut jelly (椰子糕) was especially wonderful and the BBQ pork buns (叉燒包) were nicely steamed with solid chunks of pork inside. Overall, I think the food was consistent, tasty, and well presented. Prices are solid for Flushing and won't break the bank. The gaudy decor extends beyond the main dining hall and all the way into the bathrooms. Their staircase is a perfect photo op for folks and the manager / wait staff are hardly camera shy. Crown One would easily go on my list for restaurant repeats and I hope they continue to make improvements all around. ___________ (#1) Fine, Taishan. Happy mainlanders?

Service was fast and furious, which is exactly what you should expect and honestly want from a spot like this. You're not here for a leisurely dining experience, you're here to eat something delicious and get on with your day. My one gripe, and it applies to the whole surrounding area and not just Maxi's: there are basically no bathrooms to be found. Plan accordingly before you commit to a big bowl of soup. Cheap, tasty, authentic. Everything a Flushing noodle spot should be.

It was a little hard to find but tracked it down. There were a few people waiting ahead of me in line, but the wait wasn't too long. I saw the guy take out some of the freshly baked bread and saw how juicy the chicken looked, so I was excited. I got one of the roujiamo sandwiches, which was $6. Great deal and feels so good to get a substantial food item for $6 in NY these days. Really feels next to impossible in 2026. Upon receiving the sandwich, I went across the street and tried to eat it ASAP on the street as other people suggested. The sandwich felt really good in my hands as the bread had just come out. Chicken looked really good and I asked for it to be spicy. I took my first bite and it was pretty amazing. First thing I noticed was how flaky the bread was. Such a pleasant and satisfying texture. The chicken had a lot of flavor and I think there is some cabbage in there. I devoured the rest of the sandwich in about a minute and I was very happy. The sandwich is fairly substantial; might not be enough for a full meal for some people and I treated it more as an appetizer before I went elsewhere for a bowl of noodles. I think this is easily a 5 star establishment. Great value and one of the best ways to spend $6 in NYC.

The chicken is very moist and flavorful with the spices and onion. It tastes best eaten hot as soon as you get them. I would highly recommend you give this a try!

I found the space bright, clean, and comfortable, with a cozy café layout that is more polished than a traditional dessert shop. Seating is arranged for small groups and casual hangouts, and the overall setup feels designed for people staying awhile over desserts rather than grabbing something quickly and leaving. Even though the menu is large, the entire identity of the place revolves around fruit forward desserts, especially mango, with a mix of sago bowls, pancakes, crepe cakes, shaved ice, drinks, and sticky rice desserts. The mango desserts were easily the biggest highlight for me. I tried the mango sago pomelo bowl and the mango pancakes. The mango sago pomelo bowl leaned heavily into fresh fruit and creamy textures with a lighter refreshing flavor. The mango pancakes stood out for their soft crepe exterior and cream filling. I also sampled the mango sticky rice and a slice of mango mille crepe cake. The crepe cake added a richer dessert option alongside the colder fruit based items. The menu also includes durian desserts, coconut based sweets, black rice desserts, jellies, and specialty drinks, giving the café a wide range of textures and flavors without moving too far away from its fruit dessert focus. I noticed that a lot of the desserts feel visually layered and oversized, especially the combination bowls filled with fruit, sago, pomelo, jelly, and ice cream. Service felt casual and fairly efficient, even as the café got busy. My desserts arrived quickly, especially the cold dishes and drinks, and the staff kept the flow moving smoothly even when groups around me were ordering multiple items to share.
