I am still shocked at the bad reviews for this restaurant! I went today and still LOVE it. The dim sum options were amazing--everything from shrimp dumplings to hot pepper and shrimp and bean buns-we also ordered the lobster from the menu, a noodle dish, a caserole and some veggies--everything was wonderful! It is a bit chaotic there, especially when it is busy, so you have to be patient and wait to find a waiter if you want to order food that is not part of the Dim Sum. I have yet to have a bad dish there-always leave satisfied and the management is very friendly and nice as well. This is 100% my top pick for Flushing and I have introduced others to this restaurant and they love it as well. read more

Food: I've tried a little of everything in the pictures I've attached below. My favorite dish that I've ordered was the Sautéed Fresh Mushroom & Egg Tofu because they literally cook it right after you place the order. It was hot and the taste of it was so flavorful. I loved the softness of the mushrooms and the comforting effect that the egg tofu provided. Everything else is similar to most typical dimsum places I've tried. I do like the char siu baos; they didn't overdo with the meat and the buns were so fluffy and soft. The durian pastry was warm, not too sweet, and yummy!! Not a lot of people like durian, but for the people who do love durian, this is a must try dessert. Service: The Asian aunties were nice and friendly. When I asked them what certain things were, they explained them to me. The male server refilled our tea frequently and was very attentive. The people with white button downs (I'm assuming they are managers?) were also very helpful. I had a menu in my hands and without me asking, one of the managers(?) saw my interest and listened to what I wanted. Ambiance: It was very busy! We went on Saturday at 11:30AM for a brunch meal. They offered us to sit near the front door location but we felt more comfortable sitting more inwards because we felt we would have more access to a variety of different carts and better service. We had to wait about 5 minutes to get seated which wasn't long at all. The managers(?) were all fast paced and knew what they were doing to make sure the waiting customers don't have to wait long. The atmosphere was very chatty and created a sense of connection among each table drinking tea. Overall, I had a great experience. read more

We went back to this place for dim sum when we were visiting friends in the area, and the place was heaping on a Saturday. We were surprised that most of the customers were very old... like we were in an old people's home. The carts came quickly and the selection was great on a Saturday, probably because it's so busy. Most of the food was hot and fresh, and there were a few items we ordered that are only available on weekends. read more

Lucked out on the day I went: no wait, immediate service, and had all the dim sum dishes laid out in front of us within five minutes. One of the few places that I still know has dim sum carts. The one dish I'd absolutely get again is the lau sha bao that was also a cross with a bolo bao. Dishes were better than some other dim sum places I've had in Flushing, so no complaints here. Would come again solely for the sight of the dim sum carts being pushed around. Valet parking in the back. Bring singles with you to pay. For 3 people, total came out to be $75 for more than enough dishes. read more

Food is fresh and delicious. great service and attentive. Decor not fancy but seating is comfortable.

service is great and all, but it's 1 star solely for the taste of this place's dim sum. Although there's an okayish selection, there wasn't a single dish that tasted good. All of the rice roll/ dumpling dishes had super thick skin and the shrimp inside doesn't taste fresh. Other dim sum dishes also lacked flavor or would taste overcooked. read more

Came here on a Saturday for Dim sum. It's a smaller restaurant compared to others. However, there is parking in the back which is a plus. Service was very good. All the employees had a smile unlike other places in Flushing. Good was really good. I would definitely return. read more

Went here for an early dinner with a group of eight. The food was good, depending on the dish. We were seated immediately, but were only given two menus for our group. We ordered the lobster salad, peking duck, tofu and mushrooms, house special fried rice, and the braised eggplant. We tried to order a fish dish, but the did not have the fish available. I was surprised to see that the lobster salad was mostly melon and a lot of mayonnaise on top and not too much lobster. It supposedly was made up of three lobsters...The vegetable and tofu dishes were great. read more

Came here for a Saturday banquet luncheon recently (during dim sum hours) and the food was just OK. As expected for any dim sum restaurant, it was absolutely jam PACKEEEED on a Saturday morning/afternoon inside of decent size establishment. I didn't get to try the dim sum as our large party was here for a luncheon, but boy I was craving it from seeing all of the dim sum carted around inside. We had numerous banquet-style entrees come out (quite quickly) during our time here. Entrees that we were served included a soup to start, cold platter (consisting of roast pig and jellyfish), prawn with walnuts andnc, steamed chicken with ginger and scallion, Buddha's Delight, fried milk, steamed live fish, lobster with ginger and scallion, young chow fried riice and probably a few other dishes I'm forgetting. At the end, most of the food was good - including the soup, cold platter, mayonnaise shrimp and lobster. However, there were a few dishes which were also quite ordinary and flat, like the fried rice and chicken. Surprisingly, the fried rice had no flavor at all and was quite plain. Service was decent throughout and we were in and out in 2 hours. Definitely would love to come back to try the dim sum as my review is exclusively just for the large entrees. FYI, they have a valet parking lot on the side of the restaurant that is free. If you're not into valet, then there are PLENTY of metered parking spots in front of the restaurant. As of March 2025, it was $4 for 2 hours of metered time, which wasn't bad at all. read more

Came with a party of 12 for dinner a couple weekends ago, Saturday 7:30pm. Would recommend! One of my friends called in advance to make sure there were seats and upon arrival our party was seated right away. For dinner they have an extensive menu of mostly Southern Chinese banquet-style dishes good for sharing. My friends ordered for the table before I got there so I'm not exactly sure what the names are each dish were, though I will say the cooking was terrific and the flavors on the dot. Portions were good for the prices. General run down: - appetizer - roasted salted peanuts: pretty standard Chinese restaurant peanuts - appetizer - brined and steamed chicken feet: i didn't try this though a couple friends who did enjoyed them. Believe this was complimentary since I saw other tables with plates too. - stir-fried pea shoots: solid, fresh and glad the leaves were not too old. - sautéed green beans with pickled radish: yummm, that bit of salty and sour goes well with the crunch of the green beans. - Peking pork chop: sweet and sour sauce, deep fried goodness. - beef and broccoli: tender beef, well cooked broccoli, was impressed this was well flavored without being too saucy or salty. - steamed fish: a traditional staple, mildly flavored with ginger, scallions. - Singaporean style seafood noodles: a group favorite, crisp noodles, generous seafood (fish, calamari, shrimp, scallop) with sauce poured over. - steamed chicken with scallion and ginger: another traditional dish, I didn't try this. - deep fried (insert protein here): Soo I didn't try this one and I also couldn't tell what it was haha, see pic. - congee with fish filets: good flavor for a simple dish, lots of pieces of a white fish with thin slivers of ginger, scallion and radish. - walnut shrimp: ordered but didn't get served, good thing they didn't charge us for it. - red bean with black rice sweet soup: complimentary dessert from the restaurant, a good ending to a delicious meal. Fresh orange slices also provided. Service was pretty attentive, came by multiple times or were easy to flag down to order rice, more food, get the check. They also didn't rush us to leave even though we were the last party in the restaurant at closing. Parking is available via valet in the parking lot adjacent the restaurant, $3 cash "tip" is required. My friend tried to tip $2 and was told by the attendant $3 was the min. Or there is street parking nearby if you don't mind looking. Transportation by public bus is also available. read more

Dungeness crab w Salted Egg York is the best. The rest are okay. Overall is okay but still a bit expensive so not quite valuable. The restaurant is small and so everyone all squeeze in a small table, not much comfortable about that. I think we won't visit the second time. 坐着很挤，菜价偏贵。应该不会来第二次 read more

Newly opened in the Flushing area (more on the outskirts I.e northern blvd area), Fifty Bay tries to be innovative by adding elements to the classics. This can be seen by adding bits of abalone on top of Shumai, adding a bread dish with cheese inside and coloured shrimp rice rolls. Overall the restaurant is packed and the service is what you would expect. Taste: 4.5/5 Service: 2/5 - one of the push cart ladies tried to seek a food into our table Ambiance: 2/5 - tables are very close to one another and very loud as a result Value for money: 4.5/5 Overall would probably come back here again because of the food and less so anything else..! read more

Had dinner here on a weekend night and they sure get busy. The food here is really good and has great wok hey. The razor clams were delicious and they gave you lots of pepper and onion that was cooked perfectly. The only down side here is it's really loud. The interior decor does not have anything soft so the noise just bounces around. I felt like I had to speak loudly just to have a conversation with people in my small table of 4. Also the price is a little more expensive than most Chinese restaurants. read more

Food was mediocre, area is a bit cramped and it's not a large location. The line for the bathroom is crazy, I'm not sure how many stalls they have but the line could be out the door. We came here on a weekday around noon. They have the usual dimsum, nothing really special. Will not be revisiting, once was enough. read more

We went there at 2pm on Saturday after the peak hours, so most dim sums we got weren't hot enough... I looked forward to trying the green tea salted egg yolk bun but it was meh. The green tea flavor didn't stand out, and there weren't enough lava fillings imo. It was indeed less greasy than regular salted egg yolk bun so still worth a try. Only the egg tarts were fresh out of oven, but the custard part was bland and the shell wasn't flaky. The black sesame balls were cold so the crust was no longer crispy. My favorite dim sum was the pan fried chive dumplings. It was the safest savory dimsum and hard to be messed up. Spring rolls also lived up to standard. ＊Shu Mai 燒賣 ＊Shrimp Dumping 蝦餃 ＊Crispy Spring Roll 春卷* ＊Chive Dumpling 香煎韭菜餃* ＊Egg Tart 蛋撻 ＊Fried Black Sesame Ball 黑芝麻球 ＊Green Tea Salted Egg Custard Bun 綠茶流沙包* read more

Overall, good food but service to be desired! Went here on a Friday and the place was packed! We made reservations for 11 and was sat promptly. From there, it felt like the staff was over worked with the number of patrons. Took a while to order and then the food that came out took much longer than we would have liked. A few orders were missed from the original order and followed up a few times. The good news is the food was delicious. A lot of traditional Chinese and Cantonese dishes! We got jelly fish, lobsters, Peking pork, salt and pepper squid, squab and chicken and a few vegetable dishes. The food came out hot and tasty - definitely heavy on the salt side. read more

I've visited this restaurant a few times for family gatherings and I wasn't very impressed by the food. It's very average Cantonese food, nothing I'd write home about. it's nice they have a private room downstairs for large parties but that's about it. At first glance, the restaurant is bright and nice compared to other places but the second time we went, the ceiling was literally leaking all over us and the management did not do anything at all to make things right. Service needs a bit of work, average experience overall. read more

I love that there's finally a dimsum place in Murray Hill area. This place was decent when it first opened. They had flavorful dimsum and even had roast meats. They no longer have roast meats. Now the food is subpar. Sometimes we get cooked dishes to go because it's close, but it's really bad. Something is off with the flavors. It tastes salty yet bland at the same time. I can't seem to pinpoint it. They also messed up a few orders before, but they quickly fixed it. The parking lot is just an open space with pebbles. Avoid it if you can because they charge for parking. I have no pictures of their food because it's not worth it. The ambience is what you expect from a Chinese dimsum restaurant. There are fishtanks with live fish in front. A small takeout area on the right side of the restaurant. It was pretty uncomfortable where we were seated a few times because we were seated in the back on the left. Apparently there's a private area behind the stage where they also have tables. So the servers would make us move so they can bring dishes to the back. read more

Food was average -- nothing special, but our experience might have been affected by our timing. We came here a little after 1pm, and it was still very busy, but a lot of the food we got was cold/lukewarm. We tried the spring rice rolls, steamed shrimp dumplings, pineapple BBQ pork buns, snow mountain oatmeal buns, spare pork ribs, lotus wrapped sticky rice, and pan-fried chive dumplings. I liked how for the most part, the food wasn't overly sweet or salty. Everything tasted alright, but the temperature of the food was just not ideal. - The pineapple roast pork buns were good -- both the bun and filling were not too sweet, and the buns were soft and fresh. - The snow mountain oatmeal bun wasn't bad either (also not too sweet). The bun and eggy cream was cold though, which I didn't mind, but we weren't sure if it was supposed to be chilled like that. - The pan-fried chive dumplings tasted good too, but the plate we got was already cold. It was pretty greasy, but I like that it had a lot of shrimp in the filling and that the skin wasn't so thick. - The shrimp rice rolls we got were lukewarm. I didn't like it as much because there was too much rice paper and not enough shrimp. - I only tried a little bit of the spare pork ribs and lotus wrapped sticky rice, but I thought they both tasted good. The servers are nice. I've been to busy dim sum spots where servers would just be dismissive and rude, but no one here was like that, despite how busy they were. I wouldn't come out of my way to visit this place, but I think down in the line I wouldn't be opposed to coming back here at an earlier time in the day to hopefully catch them when most of their food is fresh. read more

Came here a couple of times for dinner. It is recommended to make reservations if you have a large party and it gets really busy during dinner. The few times we been here the food was decent. We usually order the shrimp with Mayo, Peking pork chop, chicken, stir fried vegetables and the longevity noodles. The last time we went the food wasn't that good. Not sure if they had a new chef but the food was either over cooked or stale. We tried dim sum here as well. We came after 12pm and it was very busy. They have lots of selections for dim sum and the portion size is good. It is definitely better when it is freshly made. The food was a little on the bland side. read more

Came here for a dim sum lunch after being recommended by a friend. The restaurant had a parking lot in the back but street parking was not a problem. Service was good and attentive but the food was only average; nothing to brag about. There was a weekday luncheon dim sum special for $4.75/plate but after getting my bill, I found out that only a few dishes applied to the special pricing. Overall an ordinary dim sum lunch. read more

Great place for Dim Sum! We came here on Sunday during lunch time for dim sum. We had a large group and had to get split up between 2 tables which were right next to each other. We got seated pretty quickly. However, soon afterwards the wait got longer and longer and the restaurant was pretty busy. The food was great! The dishes were nicely flavored, but not over bearing and not too oily. They had a lot of unique takes on dim sum dishes and desserts. The food was all pretty fresh. I would definitely recommend this place and want to return for dim sum as well as try their dinner menu. They have valet parking in the back, as well as street parking which can be a hit or miss depending on the day and time. The service was decent, nothing special. Price was average. read more

Came here for a family party and the service here was terrible. The food came out and it was so so, but the worst part was the uncooked chicken we received. When we tried to tell them, we were grunted at and they did not bring out new chicken or try to make the situation better. Overall, would not come here, especially with how many other good Chinese restaurants there are in the area. read more

BLUF: Average dim sum; good service; comfortable environment; valet parking lot. Fifty Bay (海鮮湾酒樓; "Seafood Bay Restaurant") is a relatively recent Cantonese full-service (as in, dim sum, lunch, dinner) restaurant in the Murray Hill section of Queens. We visited for dim sum, and found it to be mostly average: - The shrimp dumplings (蝦餃) and siu mai (燒賣) were decent but not as "tight" or as lean as better dim sum restaurants. - Beef Rice Noodle Rolls (香滑牛肉腸): the textures in both the noodle and beef were off. - Black Pepper Beef Short Ribs (黑椒牛子骨): little flavor and could have been more tender. - Deep-Fried Crispy Tarot Puffs (Wu Gok; 芋角): less greasy than other places, but also less flavorful and could have used more filling other than tarot. - Green Tea Salted Egg Custard Buns (綠茶流沙包): My companion thought these were lightly flavored, but I didn't detect any green tea flavor. - Chive Dumplings (​韭菜煎餃): These were good. Chrysanthemum tea during dim sum service is $1.50 per person, and was somewhat weak (per usual for dim sum restaurants). Regular tea during dim sum service is $1 per person. Service is good. The waiters regularly remove empty dim sum plates, and also offer a change of dining plates. Fifty Bay's advantages are that the seating and environment are both comfortable; and that the restaurant offers a small valet parking lot (entrance on Murray Street). Fifty Bay has two well-maintained unisex bathrooms. Unlinked photos: https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/fifty-bay-flushing?userid=bwuT96zFlpcpqOgi78W4Vw read more

Good service, valet parking and food was pretty good even though it was a full house with a line out the door. They have 3 private rooms with karaoke as well. We had 10 dishes and a soup for 13 people and we were stuffed. Prices are not cheap but the quality was there so no complaints. It does get very noisy though! Our favorite dishes are the mixed mushroom with egg tofu, salt and pepper fried pork chop, flounder 2 ways, and scallop with conch. There's a giant screen in the dining room that shows photos of different dishes which is super tacky but also very effective at getting you to order more/try something else. Overall a good restaurant for a traditional Chinese family style meal! read more

Props: Bustling dim sum spot that is still buffered from the out of control dim sum prices plaguing other venues (sorry $8 ha gow prices are insane, especially in dodgy no frills venues eh hem Chinatown). We are looking at under $7 over here phew. I didn't know going in so my judgement wasn't affected. Food was solid. Matcha buns were tasty. Staff pretty friendly. There's parking in the back or street parking or a bus comes close. Bops: If busy, you need to check in at a podium and get a number. It's the usual hectic dim sum parlor mess that could be improved if they had their check in podium closer to the door and NOT past the aquatic tanks by the main room, where a bottle neck was created and people block the podium. Main room is too crowded. They'll squeeze in seats that wind up being way too close to passing carts, so watch your coats. read more

Solid dim sum spot with nice options if you are willing to venture a bit further out of downtown flushing. We've gotten both take out and dined in here and will say that they have a good variety of fresh dim sum, I especially love their matcha lava buns which are unique to Fifty Bay. Service is as good as it gets for a dim sum spot and price is pretty comparable to other dim sum parlors in the area. Would recommend checking out if you're looking for a new dim sum spot in the Flushing area! read more

Fifty Bay - Shu Mai, shrimp and leek pan fried dumplings, egg tarts, turnip cake, salted egg yolk buns - Seafood Near Me - Flushing, New York

TLDR: New dim sum spot in Flushing. Felt like there's some potential but overall, the main issue is that the dishes were not too hot. I would maybe see if they can find their footing for a few months. For the value though - sticky rice with soft shell crab for under $25? Sold. Stopped in to give the new dim sum place a shot. Variety was decent but the recurring theme here is that the dishes were not hot enough. The shrimp rice roll was not very thin or warm so it became very doughy and thick. Shiumai skin same issue - kind of this sad chewiness. The soft shell crab with fried sticky rice was great. Borderline absurd portion size but a good deal and pretty tasty. Crispy chinese sausage, diced taro, great wok hei. I would maybe pop in if I'm in the area and hopefully management takes the feedback to make the necessary adjustments. They could do well here but maybe just need to get better steamers to keep things on deck actually warm/hot. read more

Fifty bay has been my favorite go to dimsum spot lately due to its proximity and consistently good dimsum! They have a good variety here and everything is pretty flavorful without being sickly oily. I particularly enjoy the pink rice rolls that come with a flaky, fried shrimp inside as well as the matcha lava buns. I believe they only have the pink rice rolls on the weekend! The other usuals that I always order are the shumai, meatball, taro wu gok, and the egg tarts, all which are all pretty up to standard. Sadly, the chive dumpling which is my fav dish, was cold both times I got it, but still packed with shrimp and chive! Service is fine but the wait can get long during the weekends since the restaurant is relatively tiny. Takeout is next door, you can call ahead of time to avoid waiting since parking on the street can be a hit or miss. I saw a few iffy reviews about dinner but would consider giving it a try to see for myself! read more

Fifty Bay has a lot of potential. Their dimsum is great and their service is friendly and fast. We came here for a post CNY celebration and the restaurant was packed. That didn't matter because we had a reservation. But because the restaurant was so busy, several of our orders were messed up. They gave us someone else's dish, they forgot things, and the biggest issue is the Peking Duck. We ordered a Peking Duck and they just brought us leftover duck that was unsold. The color was bad, the way it was butchered was bad, the presentation was also awful...just split into several pieces placed on top of a napkin. We didn't touch it and sent it back. The servers told us that the "chef" is new. Besides those hiccups, we still had a great time and their private rooms also have a karaoke set up which was really fun. I'd try Fifty Bay again but maybe on a slower day. read more

Came here on a Sunday around 2 and got seated right away. They had a lot of variety for dim sum. But, just note dim sum ends around 3pm. So we also ordered some items on the menu. We were stuffed and took the rest to go. We were thrilled to see they had a parking lot. We parked our own car but when we headed to the restaurant we were informed we had to leave our keys with the "valet". Then when we we're done and got our key back we had to pay $3. So make sure you have cash. We didnt know about this and got startled when the guy asked for money. If we would have known we wouldn't have parked here. read more

Came here to eat with my family the location was packed on a Friday night but we got seated quickly the servers seem very lost as every time we tried to order something they would say let me get back to you on that the food took a while to come out but that's to be expected at a busy restaurant Very big plates and nice decorations Salt pepper squid and frog legs 8/10 Super crispy and flavorful The ingredients were really fresh no fishy flavor at all Tasted a bit salty and spicy from the pepper but it did not over power the flavor of the squid Fried pork intestine 8/10 Super crispy The intestines were cleaned very well I would've preferred the radish on the bottom over the vegetables to help cut the oily feeling Steak meat balls 9/10 The steak was tender and cooked medium rare It was covered in a sweet flavor sauce Overall The food holds to the food was good for three people and three dishes everyone was full Everything was served on huge plates and decorations the price is expensive a nice place to try once or host family party read more

Flushing has a lot of dim sum although I'm not sure if Fifty Bay is a good addition. The restaurant is deceptively small - it looks large but its actually only one floor and the tables are laid out with almost no space in between. The second floor wasn't currently open for dining (not sure if it's meant to be) and our table was literally in a nook next to an entrance hall. In terms of dim sum, it was average - nothing stood out but it was all passable. The dining room is incredibly tight and detracts from the experience. It's hard to imagine dining comfortably here. Service is par for the course for any dim sum restaurant. Plus is that they have a parking lot in the back in a neighborhood which can get tight on parking. Prices are about the same as other similar dim sum spots in Flushing. Probably not coming back as there are other choices which are more convenient to get to. read more

Came here for a family dinner to celebrate our Uncle and Auntie's 50th Year Anniversary. We had a private room with great services. Majority of our dishes came out great. My only complain was their roast chicken. It's disappointing to say that they try to push an old chicken on us. Definitely was an order that was made previously. The shrimp chips on top was rubber. The meat itself tasted like it was reheated and left out for a long time. I yet to try this place again as for the food it's standard vs other places I've been to.
