Service was minimal at best but they just seemed under staffed honestly. And when the server did come by, she was running quickly to and from. The place was not busy when my friends and I were seated. But there was a back room in guessing that had occupants since she was missing in the front seating area. (There was a two person table occupied in the front near us). My party of three over ordered but that was intentional because, any purchase over $100, you get a free lobster and each of us had items we wanted, figured we would doggie bag the leftovers. All in all a great value. The lunch spread had over 7 dishes and we got the free lobster. I was especially happy to see Fried Milk on the menu as an appetizer. They also provide complimentary salted peanuts and pickled radish and carrot slivers. I recommend the snow pea shoots, fried milk, clams with black bean sauce and the Chinese Broccoli with Filet beef. The other dishes like the lobster, noodles and sweet and sour pork were executed well but just not my flavor profile. And with my food allergy, I couldn't try the shrimp with walnuts but it was my friends' birthday so she ordered that for her treat. It looked great! There's complimentary parking if you validate your ticket with a nearby garage, but you need to spend a minimum.

My family and I had dinner at Chef Wongs Bistro on New Years Day and we were very glad we did. The…read morerestaurant was fairly full and the strangest thing almost all the patrons were wearing their wool hats and coats while seated at their tables. We were famished and only focused on what yummy dishes to order. My wife, son and daughter all contributed their suggestions and we ended up ordering pan fried whole flounder, half of the roast chicken with garlic, filet mignon with Chinese broccoli, fried rice with chicken and salted fish and everyone's favorite dish salt & pepper squid. Once we placed our order and were enjoying the roasted peanuts and free spicy cabbage we realized why everyone had their winter coats on, it felt like they had the AC on and it must have been 55° in the restaurant. I told everyone that once the food arrived things would warm up. Each dish that came out of the kitchen was perfectly cooked and was delicious. The salt & pepper squid with it's minced jalapeños kept us warm enough until the half chicken with garlic and filet mignon and Chinese broccoli came out in rapid succession. The star of the show turned out to be the giant sized pan fried flounder which was not only big but quite scrumptious. Unlike the little scrawny flounder that most other restaurants usually served this was a quite large and very meaty and perfectly cooked. The last dish to come out was a very large plate of chicken fried rice with salted fish. If it were not for the lack of heat, I would have given Chef Wong Bistro 5 stars!

For dim sum, the carts are out and about with freshly steamed dishes. The cart ladies are so efficient. They will show you what they have and then push additional dishes on you to try. They are also motherly, urging you in Chinese to eat the food while the food is hot and not let it sit. They are sharp eyed, looking for diners who express interest in the dishes in their carts. It is a crowded, noisy, and wonderful place. You eat, look for dishes that catch your eye, and then eat some more. You also get to watch all the other diners enjoying food with their family and friends. For dinner, it was always done family style. We usually order lobster and shrimp dishes, as it is a seafood restaurant. However, all their other dishes are really good, so it is hard to say what is a favorite dish. Anyway, I encourage my friends to come here. I highly recommend Asian Jewels for the terrific food, great staff, and atmosphere.

We ordered: Borscht Soup ($5.95) - This has been pretty solid in both the Flushing and Chinatown location. It's rich in flavor, and quite tart. I did find the beef to be a little tough though. Beef Chow Fun in Brown Sauce ($13.25) - This was a little salty, but beef was tender and you can taste the flavors/heat of the wok in this dish, which is nice. Curry Fish Fillet Over Rice ($10.25) - This was also on the salty side, but it pairs nicely with the mountain of rice. Lemon Tea ($4.25) - Solid HK Lemon Tea with a good combination of sugar and lemon. This location looks more modern but still keeps the essence of how chachatangs are like in Hong Kong. Overall, I think the portion sizes are good for the price and if you can't finish, I would definitely take leftovers home and add rice or extra noodles to make use of the sauces! If I'm craving HK comfort food, I'm happy to have a location that is close to me! Note: Its only cash or venmo here. There is one unisex bathroom.

It is clear, not because it is diluted or made from a powder, but clear in the way that only hours of careful skimming can produce. This is a broth that has been edited, notimprovised. You taste sesame oil. You taste white pepper. You taste the quiet backbone of xiaosing wine. The wonton shrimp balls are magnificent. They are large and generous. When you bite through the slick wrapper, the shrimp inside is bouncy and sweet. You can imagine the type of family that immigranted to America, the arguments that they had, the dream the owners had when opening this store. This restaurant feels like one person made it, one person had a distinct vision and concept, and it was all they knew. I felt like I relived memories that I did not have. In three days in New York -- three days of ambitious tasting menus and celebrated kitchens and meals that performed their own importance -- this $15 bowl I kept thinking about on the flight home. Not because it surprised me, but because it didn't try to. Every ingredient was intentional. Every sip landed exactly where it was aimed. There was no wasted motion, no hedged bet, no seasoning added to flatter a palate it wasn't built for.

There's a "People Love Us on Yelp" sticker at Maxi's Noodle which is basically all that needs to be…read moresaid! Maxi's Noodle is teensy; a sign warns you that tables may be shared. I ate in the enclosed patio which only had two tables, and the inside didn't seem much bigger. There is no bathroom for customers so don't bank on bio breaks here. It's efficient in that I was seated promptly, was able to place my order when I was ready, and the food came out lickety-split. Carry cash for a discount. I ordered the Wonton, Dumpling, & Beef Stew Noodle Soup ($14.75) under the "Popular Items" section of the menu since it seemed sampler-esque. The wontons and dumplings were similar since they both contained shrimp and pork but I leaned towards the dumplings since they also included mushroom, bamboo, wood ear, and chives. The duck egg noodles, beef, and broth rounded out the awesomeness. Can't wait to return with others!

The people in the front are always very friendly.

Food is good, service isn't…read more I came in the afternoon, it's not busy so it's just one waiter. I sat down as a party of one, the waiter put down their pot of complimentary tea then immediately asked me what I want to order as he's handing me the menu. I asked if I can look at the menu first. I ordered a bowl of the preserved egg/pork congee and a bowl of wonton soup. The food came quickly, maybe 1-2min. The waiter then proceeded to bend down close to my face (too close for comfort) and asked me in Chinese if I can finish the food or not. His mandarin is a bit hard to understand so I was a bit perplexed if I misheard the question and asked him again then he turned to leave and literally waved me off with his arms (ok..?) Food was hot and excellent. Each wonton piece had large pieces of shrimp in it. Overall delicious and yes I finished it! I haven't finished my wonton soup yet when the waiter puts the bill down on the table without me asking for it (what's the rush??). Price came out to be $15.75 for the 2 bowls. I was actually thinking of getting half of the scallion oil chicken to go. I asked him if I can order through him or by the meats counter he said he can do it and added the price to the receipt which now came out to be $31.75. I waited a few more min, he asked me if I wanted the tea pointing to the tea pot I said yes please leave it...he then pours me a cup and takes away the entire pot like he's protecting it from me, like what?! I was fuming by now but he came back to tell me like I can't read that my total is $35 (he said that bc he wants to make sure I'm clear to leave a tip...also when and what have I done to make him think I'm not tipping, I have never dined in without tipping less than 18% regardless of service...). I proceeded to hand him $36 and walked out. It's like he couldn't wait to get rid of me or something. Never coming here again to dine in, maybe take out only. This place is cash only btw. If not for the food I'd give 1 star for this epically terrible experience!!! This person should NOT be in the service industry.

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.
