    Fried e fu noodles

    We were there for a family dinner for eight of us. Very fast service. The winter melon Soup was delicious. Most of the other dishes was above average than most Chinese restaurants in Flushing.

    Food first, thoughts after... This is a very solid place for dimsum. The dishes are good and the service is fast. Very traditional so you'll have a better experience if you can speak mando/canto or bring someone who can and is familiar with culture.

    This is a big Chinese banquet style and dim sum place, and there are lots of people even on a weekday, but you'd think you're in some senior home. The food's average and the selection isn't great on weekdays as you wait for the carts to come to you. The freshness is average.

    This place is the real deal! First of all, the whole building, inside and out, is fantastic! The exterior is grand, and the interior is a time capsule back to the early 1980's. We were there for a late dim sum lunch. One thing you must know is that everything here is in Chinese. The menu, the waitstaff, everything. Our friend had eaten here before and had used google translate ahead of time to pick out a few things by showing the roving servers his phone. Because we were there at the end of the dim sum service, not everything was available, but what we got was FANTASTIC!!! I'm not entirely certain what I was eating at all, but it was all delicious! The service was brusque but I honestly think it's just cultural. The older women manning the dim sum carts kept urging us to eat more and seemed very disappointed when we reached our limit! It reminded me of time spent with my great grandmother, who did not speak very much English but used food as her love language and took not eating as a personal affront! I would definitely hit this place up again during my next visit to NY!

    - The valet parking situation was a nightmare--completely packed and overflowing with cars; we ended up searching for street parking, which wasn't much easier in the surrounding area - We reserved a private room for a family event on a Thursday afternoon during lunch; the main dining room was nearly full, making it clear this is a popular destination for dim sum/lunch - The restaurant is large and spacious with plenty of seating to handle the lunch crowd; there's also a separate section dedicated to BBQ meats and bakery items, which is worth checking out - Service was fast and efficient: the dishes arrived quicker than we could serve ourselves, and the staff was attentive, promptly clearing and replacing used plates throughout the meal - The food was enjoyable overall: we had a family-style banquet, and every dish was well-seasoned and well-prepared; the standout dishes were the incredibly tender steak and the flavorful crab fried rice - Before leaving, we also ordered a few BBQ rice platters to go and picked up a couple of buns for the road: unfortunately, the roasted pig and roast pork rice dishes, and buns were all fairly average, and the ladies working the bakery/BBQ counter weren't nearly as friendly as the dining room staff - Overall, 4 stars for the dine-in lunch experience thanks to the quality of the food and attentive service, but 3 stars for the BBQ/bakery takeout

    Golden Lake Pavillion is in Queesnborough Hill side Flushing on Main Street, right off the Main Street Exit on the 495. They have a parking lot but it fills up quickly, there is also the possibility of residential parking but that fills up too. The restaurant is pretty large and the place is clean. I've been there for dim sum a few times over the years (I'm not a local but I visit), they bring stuff out on carts which you can wait for, but I've also seen carry their bill and walk up to the carts to get items a little quicker. The wait for a table can be long if you don't get there early especially on weekends. The quality of the dim sum was good, none of it came to our table cold (that wasn't supposed to be cold). They also have a take-out/to-go section to order stuff. My relatives live nearby so it's convenient to be able to get some good dim sum walking distance from where I was staying.

    Excellent private room party dinner with a huge variety of dishes, from specialty Alaskan king crab, rostroasted goose, sushi, fresh boiled shrimps and so much more! Our family had a small private room to the side with large tables. It also had a karaoke machine. Also restaurant has valet parking. Food was definitely a highlight especially eta boiled shrimp, crab fried rice and steamed fish. Will cone back

    We were a party of 50 ppl for a 90th birthday celebration. We were seated in the rear of the restaurant and the food was served family style. The servers were on point all night, they kept the food coming. It's a pretty large place but it definitely needs an updated makeover in the decor. We had a variety of food, chicken, steak, pork and lobster. Most of the dishes were very good. I forgot the names but the pictures are below.

    I have been to this dim sum restaurant several times. This is close to Queen College and Main Street Flushing. Public transportation buses (Q44 and Q20) are easy to get to. It leads in front of/ across the streets. The food overall is decent. It is your typical dim sum dishes you get in other restaurants with aunties in the carts. The dessert likes durian mochi and pineapple egg custard buns we ordered tastes so good. I never had pineapple egg custard buns before. It was tasty and crispy. Overall, the service was decent. It was a busy afternoon since it was Lunar New Year holidays. There are a lot of tables and the wait wasn't long for us. The decoration was nice and bright. It is a big restaurant.

    We come to Golden Lake Pavilion often for weekend brunch, and it's always a lively experience. It gets busy very early and stays that way through the day. The waiting area can feel crowded, but the dining room is massive, so the line usually moves quickly and you won't be waiting too long to be seated. That huge dining room is a blessing and a curse. There's plenty of space once you're in, but it can take a while for the cart ladies to make their rounds. If you're seated toward the far end, popular items can be gone by the time the cart reaches you. They do refill, but sometimes you just want that dish right away--especially when you've been hungry and waiting. Our must-order items are always the shrimp rice noodle rolls (cheung fun/ha cheung), congee (jook), and the sticky rice wrapped in lotus leaf (lo mai gai). Portions are generous--one order of each per person is more than enough to fill us up. For dessert, their Hong Kong-style egg custard tarts (daan tat) are a must. Flaky, warm, and perfectly sweet. If you want something lighter, the tofu fa (silky tofu with sweet syrup, served hot) is soothing and just as satisfying. The cart ladies don't speak much English, but pointing works just fine. If you show them a photo of what you want, they'll happily find it for you. Overall, friendly service and classic dim sum favorites that keep us coming back.

    Great dim sum! Get here early to beat the crowds. Not many dim sum spots anymore that had the push carts. We always get the siu mak, har gow, piggy bun, pork bun, pineapple bun with char siu, beef tripe, chicken feet, shrimp and beef rice rolls, eggplant with shrimp paste, durian mochi, coconut jello etc. So many options, you can go wrong.

    Sandy L.

    Food as good today. Got dim sum as well as noodles. This time we sat by the live fish and had a private table. It is definitely busy today maybe bc it's a Friday and first day of spring. This time we parked in the back and as pretty full. Once we left lots of people waiting for tables. Their sticky rice & Shumai was the best today imho. Ambiance is nice inside since they renovated. The bathrooms are by exit so a bit hard to get to when there's people waiting for tables.

    Caroline W.

    Often come here in a large group with more than 15 people for banquet food which I think is nice because they have a private room option However would not normally come here if just a smaller group of people We got an assortment of dishes only a few pictured here. Portions are generous

    Are the hours posted accurate? I have arrived at 9a before and they already have a full-house.

    Is there a private room that can host 30-40 people for a dim sum birthday party?

    Yes they have the capability of hosting party that size

    Is there indoor dining on the weekdays?

    Yes.

    Do they have outdoor seating?

    Yes. Reservation is recommended.

    Google say they are open but no one answers the phone. Anyone know the status?

    They are still closed. Windows and doors boarded-up.

    Do they serve dim sum all day?

    Dim Sum will be made until like 2 p.m., then will be served until it sold out.

    How big is their parking lot? If it's full, is it hard to find parking in the surrounding streets? Also, are there any Chinese supermarkets in the area?

    The parking lot is a decent size but it's valet. If it is full, the surrounding streets are mostly residential so good luck trying to find a space there. There is a supermarket nearby next to the library which is next to the restaurant. You can see… 

    What's the parking situation like on Saturdays?

    We came here around 1pm and parking was full but they have a parking attendant who will park for you. I not sure how much you give him when you pick up your car though.

    I have been confused about the dim sum and banquet times. I've only been there twice and one day had pure dim sum served and the other the banquet, are there certain hours for both? Certain days? Thanks

    Dim sum will be severed from opening until 3, 3:30, but after around 2 they won't make any new dim sum, just whatever leftover. Banquet most likely in evening. If you mean regular food, probably after 11 am until closing.

    I heard the restaurant had s kitchen fire from poor repairs. Before Easter Sunday? Did it impact the dining rooms? When will they reopen for business by Mother's Day?

    The restaurant is open again and like always it's packed.

    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.

It's about a 12-15 minute walk from the 7 train Flushing subway station, past Northern Blvd. At a building named Linden Place (that's what the sign high above the entry shows), the dramatic entrance is up a wide set of steps, framed by a large molded name plate above and faux column panels at the sides. Inside, Crown One's facilities combine banquet hall and restaurant in the same way many of these large Southern Chinese establishments do. The foyer is fancifully decorated with plenty of gold-toned gilding, traditional blue on white ceramics and grand chandeliers, evoking somewhat of a nicer Asian hotel feel. The dining space features mostly white and neutral colors, two-story-high ceilings, a massive elaborate light fixture in the shape of a flower with petals as seen from below, and draped ribbons of fabric strung mid-air across the length of the room for an artistic effect. Getting to the food--pretty solid. Ordered shrimp wrapped in rice noodles), fried turnip cake, crystal shrimp dumplings, steak pepper shortribs, pork spareribs with rice noodles, shiumai dumplings, braised beef tripe with turnip. Waitstaff seated us, asked us for tea preference, the dimsum cart ladies came by and you need to flag them down as they walk around. At the end we flagged a staff member for the bill and paid at the front register, pretty typical dimsum restaurant service. Total for two people came out to $55 including tax and tip which was very reasonable. I'll be back!

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?

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.

Hopefully the rising competition nearby serves as a wake up call and they shape up, but at the moment they are no longer the slam dunk recommendation they used to be.

    Joe's knows how to steam those rolls! The rolls are silky and smooth and slippery af, so eat with…read morecaution. The menu is pretty simple. You choose either their special rice roll or regular roll. Prices range from $5-12 depending on the size and what you want. They offer fillings like beef, shrimp, bbq pork or curry fish ball. Top it off with lettuce, bean sprouts and corn for texture. It takes a bit for them to make but it's hot and fresh af. We ate here twice during our NYC trip because they're just that good and affordable! The shrimp and cilantro combo was hellaella bomb. Drizzle some soy sauce and dab some chili oil on top and you're good to go! I like how they preslice them and put them on a plate so it's easy to scoop up. Come before lunch or you'll have to wait a while for your rolls because they do get pretty busy. My mom waited almost 30mins for their rolls after ordering. It's one of the most popular stalls at the New World mall. Seating is so-so, really depends on the time you go but sometimes seating will be hard to find. You'd have to make friends with an elderly asian grandma or pa at a table. They're located near the restrooms so there will be a lot of foot traffic there. Overall, good food at a good price! Service is meh, just order and food and stand off to the side. Grab your sauces and go. But anyways, their rolls touch my soul. And I aint being a troll. Check them out if you're in Flushing! Bring cash because it will be a little cheaper.

    Ok so- fun rolls have always been my fave dim sum food so imagine how excited I was to finally try…read moresome from this place! Literally loved the way it all melts in ur mouth when u take a bite! The chili garlic crisps, sauce and roll combo together-- chefs kisses! We went back in line and ordered another two after this lol. It's located inside the new world mall!
