    Maybe I caught them on a bad day, but I didnt find joe's good. I think the steamed rolls only tasted okay after adding the peanut sesame sauce, but it shouldnt be like that. If the steam rolls are delicious it should taste fresh and silky by itself, and joe's was not able to deliver that. I also ordered the soy milk and it was unfortunately quite bland with some graininess to it. Staff were nice and it came out fairly quickly. Plenty of seating inside the food court.

    Steamed rice roll with minced pork

    $5 for that plate, it was originally full I just took the pic halfway. Silky smooth and super soft layers, very appetizing, I needed to add soy sauce since I wanted more flavor. Choice of 3 vegetables, I chose scallions, corn, and lettuce, all 3 are pretty much nonexistent as you can see in the pic. Minced pork was in the steamed rice roll itself, some slices didn't have any pork. In summary very little minced pork, it doesn't contribute to taste. There's also a choice of if I wanted eggs, as in pic the egg was so thin and it fused with the rice roll skin itself, didn't taste like egg at all. In summary this dish is just if you want smooth rice roll skin itself. Toppings are nonexistent. But for $5 it's not bad.

    Smooth, silky steamed rice noodle rolls at this food hall location. Bunch of different filling combinations available from the classic shrimp and beef to "loaded" with shrimp, beef, roast pork. We tried the loaded and it was prepared fresh. We suggest to-go if you want to avoid the noise and crowds. Add a little soy sauce and enjoy. $10

    Located in New World Mall, near the bathrooms behind the escalator. Their rice noodle rolls are delicious. You can add an egg for an extra $1. Soy milk is $3. The wait was 35 minutes on a Saturday afternoon. There were A LOT of people. You have to find your own seats. Be careful!

    I am not sure what my fiancé ordered but we were trying to have a quick breakfast after an appointment and everything from here is always so good. The rice roll is always so thin allowing for all the flavors from the toppings to come through. The other one was like a fried scallion pancake wrapped around meat which was also super delicious and lightly crispy. The service is always nice and quick which we enjoyed as well because we were both super hungry.

    Why 5 stars? Because I have a confession: I love rice rolls. --- --- --- I didn't even know what a rice roll was, and I'm still not sure I do now, but what I do know is that I want them in my life as often as possible in the future. Via Jando's guidance, we visited New World Mall and went staight to Joe's Steam Rice Roll. I ordered one with Beef, Scallions, Corn and Lettuce and then sat at the table next to the stall waiting for it. As I waited, I realized I missed that one of the items is called "Joe's Signature", which I would have ordered had I seen it. I missed that because their monitors have some kind of Roku advertisement flashing on the screen intermittently, which hides parts of the menu at various times. This screen glitch is my one and only complaint about my experience. Fast forward to my number being called and, praise sweet baby Jesus, I was in heaven. This was "dance in my seats in between bites" good. I think it was a combination of the fact that I hadn't ever had anything quite like it, AND that it was so delicious at the same time. I ended up finishing this, and visiting another stall. What I ordered at the other stall was perfectly fine, but I kept thinking about my first true love the whole time. Eventually, I told my friend, "I gotta get another rice roll before I leave this place." Much to his dismay, I did. Round two was the aforementioned signature roll. And guess what? While also awesome, I think my custom concoction was even better. I'm a steam roll guy now and that's that.

    Joe's rice rolls are delicious! It is located inside the New World Food Court in the mall. The rice rolls are made to order and you can add toppings inside as well. Each rice roll is around $6-8 depending on what you want. There are options for curry fish balls as well. Out of all the rice roll places I've tried, this place is my favorite! We got the fresh shrimp rice roll with corn and cilantro. It was fresh, soft, and tasty. Would definitely come back again!

    I've only tried rice rolls from 2 other NYC locations but must say this one is a MUST visit. The rice rolls had the perfect texture, not too chewy, not too soft. The filling was fresh and complimented the rice roll. I had beef, bean sprouts, corn, and scallions in mine, and you have to drizzle their house-made sauces and chili oil on it. I got my food pretty quickly and the staff was very nice. Chill ambience with a few seats for you to sit and enjoy your food. I'm gonna be thinking about this meals for days.

    Flushing location. This place is overrated. The space is so small. They have the first shop location in this small food court/hall, so they attract all the customers. The vendors in the back are so bored that they're on their phones. There is limited counter seating, and when people walk past you, it's easy to get bumped. It's not a comfortable eating situation for a big group for sure. I got the soy milk, and it was good. They have condiments, like soy sauce and chili sauce. No bathroom.

    I've tried Joe's in the city and was happy to see that they had a location in Flushing. Joe's steamed rice roll is known for their authentic cheung fun. The rolls are made to order and steamed in front of you. During this visit I got the shrimp and egg roll. The roll was floppy and delicate, just the way I like it. The wait was short, but well worth it.

    Specialty roll
    Mia H.

    Maybe I had my expectations too high, but I thought that this place was alright. Now, a stall in the New World mall, this rice roll stand offers a variety of your favorite breakfast dish--rice rolls! They're made-to-order and you can also add a bunch of different toppings to your rice roll (on top of the three free veggie choices that you get upon ordering). I got their specialty rice roll, which includes dried shrimp, beef, and a couple other toppings. I thought that it was okay. Although it was filling and had generous portions of the meat, I thought that the rice sheets were a bit thicker than I would typically like. Nonetheless, it was still a good rice roll spot, but just a bit overhyped.

    You can't go wrong with these classic steamed rice rolls - I actually prefer Joe's over the ones they serve at dim sum because the rice rolls are thinner and easier to enjoy. They also add extra stuff like egg, bean sprouts, cilantro, etc. and don't forget the chili oil and sauce! It is super affordable for a quick bite to eat and they have a new location in new world mall now since the mall they were originally in across the street is now closed. They also used to accept both credit card and cash but discount when paid with cash. IG: _acquired.taste

    I've ordered similar dishes at dim sum places before, but they never really left it an impression. Not true for the ones here though! Made to order and served hot, these were super flavorful especially after we loaded it up with chili oil! I'd recommend sharing because they are very filling. As a bonus, my friend and I were lucky to snag a counter spot so we could watch them being made while we ate!

    When is the best time to go in the weekend? Early in the morning to avoid long lines? thank you

    Hi. You can call the shop 30Mins + and tell them when you wants to pick- up. That’s should be more convenient

    Are they gluten free.?

    The rice rolls are, because they're made of rice flour. The sauce may not be if it's soy based.

    How long do rice roll orders take? I wanted to try this place today and they told me it would be a 40 min wait for the Joe's Signature!

    It depends on what day and what time of day you go but you can always order ahead in the phone. A lot of people do that so that's why orders take so long.

    Are there gluten free options?

    Do they do delivery?

    I don't think they do but maybe a Chinese delivery service. Better to just pick up!

    Are they open during covid?

    They just reopened for take out from 9am to 7pm

    Is there any parking near the Flushing location? (Preferably not in a garage, and anywhere in relative walking distance.) Thanks!

    There is a municipal parking across street of Queens Crossing building.

    What is the brown sauce on the rice rolls? Do they put it on automatically, or do you have to order it?

    Soy sauce. They give it to you on the side.

    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.
