The Peking duck skin was quite crisp and meat was ample, though may have not been fully authentic. The white meat on the chicken was a tad dry but was comparably crunchy. The cold appetizer had a pork component that was still a little icy. Lobster was chunky and meaty and the noodles were cooked well.

Passed by multiple times when I go to the restaurant next door. Decided to come and try it and dont think the dimsum are that great. If you are in the area and want some mediocre dimsum then this is the place. Nothing stood out and dont think I need to come again.

3.5 stars. I've been to New Mulan twice, once for a wedding banquet some ears ago and most recently for dimsum. On a holiday morning they opened at 10am, we arrived at 10:30am and there were plenty of seats. By the time we left the 250ish seats in their main banquet hall area were full and there was a line of about 50 people waiting in the lobby to be seated. Regular weekends are probably similar, with much fewer people on weekdays. They also have a separate banquet side which I believe is a little smaller, both are bookable for special events. First thing when arriving to your table is indicating what tea you want to order, commonly chrysanthemum, black or jasmine are options, though in our case my friend bought leaves from home and asked the staff for a ceramic teapot of hot water, which they were fine to provide. They do the old school dimsum pushcarts; wave over a dimsum lady passing by your table to check out available dishes on each cart. They have more or less all the staples--steamed meat/fish/shrimp balls, pan-fried taro and turnip cake, various steamed marinated meats, rice rolls and dumplings, fried savory and sweet puffs, buns, cakes. For vegetables, entree-size rice and noodle dishes and specialty items like seafood, you'll need to place orders with the waiters, then they are in part brought to tables by robot servers (see pic). Items I'd recommend: black pepper beef ribs, beef tripe with ginger, lotus leaf-wrapped sticky rice with filling, shiumai, baked roast pork buns with sweet topping. If you enjoy durian (I'm not a fan) I heard the durian puffs were good. I'd order again: any of the steamed rice noodles, pork spareribs with black bean sauce, steamed roast pork buns, egg custards, Chinese broccoli steamed with oyster sauce, fried eggplant with shrimp balls on top. A couple things were kind so-so or off that morning--my piece of shrimp in the steamed rice roll with shrimp tasted a little weird though the shrimp in the crystal shrimp dumpling was fine. The stewed tripe with turnip was just ok, kinda chewy and we didn't finish this. Both of these items are dim sum staples so it could just be an off day. Aside from waving over the dim sum carts, service is basically up to you to get the staff's attention if you need water refilled for tea, want to place an order, or request a check. That being said they're usually pretty quick once you flag them down. Bring the check up to the front register to pay, cash or card accepted.

You know the food needs to be good in order for me to travel 1hr+ for my go to dim sum spot. The restaurant is on the second floor of a plaza and you would think others would not know about the spot since it's not on the ground floor, but no! this place usually has a good amount of patrons. It's one of the rare remaining few places that still has the push carts (which I love!) they restock the food quite frequently to keep up with the demands. You can see the dishes are still piping hot. We ordered: 2 very types of chive dumplings Tendons Chicken Feet (would it be an authentic experience if we don't get it) Beef balls Chef special - Fried sticky rice with softshell crab Even though the dim sums were wonderful, the highlight is the fried sticky rice with softshell crab. Growing up my parents usually don't allow us to order any fried rice outside (because we can make a good one at home). But whenever we are here it's a must order. Idk how they cook it but the rice is crispy, flavorful and they DO NOT SKIMP OUT OF THE SOFTSHELL CRAB! Usually most restaurants would just give you one or two small pieces but not this spot. So when you go make sure to order it!

This is on the second floor of a medical building- take the elevators or stairs. It opens at 9:00 and the carts are hot and ready to serve! There are lots of tables, but they fill up fast. Parking is a challenge- so keep that in mind. The food was hot and fresh, typical dim sum fare. Had to be a little aggressive to get a waiters attention for water and tea. Otherwise, this place is worth not going into the city for dim sum. Love the robots that come out of the kitchen

I came here for a wedding, although the wedding was fun with good company, mc, music, and friends. I would have to say the food was lacking. All of the food was bland in the exception of the pan fried noodle which was way too salty. In addition, the service was lacking, usually the staff would set the food down and serve some or most of it to the table. The wait staff did not do that for any of the tables. The food came out fast when it started, but again the staff member did the minimum of simply bringing the food out and did not serve nor switch out the dirty plates. I wouldn't come here to dine unless it was a must like for somebody's wedding banquet.

Just as chaotic and delicious as the last time we came. My favorite has to be those little salted custard buns with the pig face on it. Something new I tried this time was the Yin and Yang fried rice dish and it was out of this world. Rich and comforting but also sweet and sour!!! So delicious! Just like last time the place was HOPPING! Carts go up and down, and there is so much food but the value is unbeatable! Looking forward to my next trip for sure, and worth taking my family too next time they are in town.

Solid. Good food at good prices with great service. My opinion of the service might be skewed because my family has the gift of gab and somehow knew most of the staffers by name, but they're responsive and friendly enough in general. Ambience is fine. It's actually pretty spacious with plenty of room between tables and wide open cart paths. The bathrooms are a bit more unfortunate with limited stalls and noticeable wear and tear across the board. As with many Chinese places, the money is on the table. Food is strong. No compromises here in terms of flavor, quality and quantity. Standouts include the famous spare ribs and har gow with thin but structurally sound wrappers. Large portions of stir fried carbs can round out a meal nicely.

In the Crossing Queens mall. Hot, greasy dim sum. Fast friendly and helpful service. Eat at the common area. I came early so plenty of space and no crowds.

I came with my friend who knew what to order. The carts come around and you can choose what dishes you want. We had so much food it was amazing! One dish had mushrooms so I couldn't eat it (I believe it was the rice wrapped in a leaf), but everything else I had was top notch, hot and fresh. And the price, inexpensive. The service was fast, we also had some hot tea which was great. We came on a Sunday morning and it wasn't busy at all, about an hour later it got packed! Take the elevator upstairs to the actual restaurant.

Roast pork fried pork belly over rice
Hui L.

This review is for their takeout spot located in the Queens Crossing food court. It's a welcome addition to the roast meats/dim sum scene in Flushing. I tried their roasted meats over rice (fried pork belly and char siu) and also got a hot soy milk with sugar. The combo came with a generous portion of white rice, steamed napa cabbage, and a bit of sauce. The char siu meat was a bit tough as they seemed to use a lean cut. The siu yuk was better as the skin was crispy and the meat had good flavor. If you get the soy milk with sugar added, make sure to mix it yourself before drinking otherwise there will just be a pile of sugar left at the bottom (speaking from experience...). Cash only!

New Mulan Restaurant is our go-to family gathering spot when we want a private room and karaoke! This restaurant has free parking for up to 3 hours however if you go over, they will charge. They charged us extra $4 since we were over 3 hours. We had a private room with our own karaoke machine and we spent the entire night singing and dancing the night away with family! It was the best way to spend Chinese New Year! Some notable dishes we had were the walnut shrimps, marinated short ribs, lobster, crabs, crispy chicken, whole steamed fresh fish, wow! The dishes were so delicious and flavors were great! Overall, love the ambiance, free parking, and delicious dishes! We can't wait to celebrate another family gathering at New Mulan!

Crowded for Friday Dim Sum!
Andie E.

Dim Sum!!! I've been to New Mulan for dim sum several times, and each time was great. The restaurant is very spacious, and I appreciate that there was decent space between the tables. Service & hospitality were good. Dirty plates were removed quickly, empty teapots replenished often. The cart ladies did a good job displaying all the dim sum items. Note that the dim sum selections on a weekday differ slightly from the selections on a weekend; with weekend selections having a bit more variety. Both still very good. One advantage of going on a weekday is the price; with most dishes costing just $3.95 (excluding specialty items). I hosted an Unofficial Yelp Event (UYE) for 10 people on a weekday, and the cost was just $16 per person (including tax & tip!). What a bargain! We were all shocked! I would definitely return for dim sum again. Shout-out for all the Yelpers who came for dim sum today! Great to see everyone!

Yummy

Is gratuity/tip automatically added to the bill here? I think our party of 3 had 18% added to the bill but it doesn't say anywhere on the menu or any of the signage that there's an automatic gratuity for every table.

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

Yes! I did a private room with my family there. Also upwards of 40 people

What time is dim sum until on Saturdays?

The latest Ive been and they were still serving was around 1-2PM. It was slowing down a bit but still food at that time, hope this helps.

Do they do dimsum take-out?

Yes, most likely they will allow

Is it wheelchair accessible?

Yes

Is cutting of an outside birthday cake permitted?

Yes. All Chinese restaurants I went to allow this at no extra charge. When you arrive, you can give it to the staff to put in refrigerator or freezer if it's icecream cake. However, I had bad experience with one restaurant that their freezer… 

Do they have free parking?

No free parking. There is a parking garage close by that offers validation from the restaurant. Though in our experience, the municipal parking works out to be a better deal.

What are the holiday dim sum prices?

$3.50 大中小 L, M, S

What are the dim sum hours?

Usually up to 2pm. The carts will start emptying out around then and will not refill.

When will this $2.95 for any dimsum dishes be going on till? Special price since this is new opening.

Hi Thiri, its an on-going promotion so far!

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.

When we politely shared our concerns with the staff, they showed little interest in addressing them. Instead, they simply responded, "That's just the way it is." With so many dining options available, there's no reason to spend money on a disappointing experience, especially at a restaurant that doesn't seem to value customer feedback. It's unfortunate to see such a decline in both food quality and customer service. We won't be returning.

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!

I'm no expert on steam rice rolls and most of my experience have been at dim sum restaurants, so I don't have much to compare them with. We went with the Joe's Signature roll which came with beef, pork, sausage, dried shrimp, and egg. The skin is noticeably silkier and lighter than rice rolls I had before. That said, if I were to order again, I'd skip the sausage. It tasted a bit low quality and didn't contribute much to the overall flavor or texture. The portion and price is reasonable. It's also convenient to try other food stalls in the mall.

We came with a big party of 12, and they were very accommodating, splitting the table and taking separate orders for three families. Let's just say each family ordered plenty. I only wish I'd snapped pictures of what the other families got. We started with the Lucky Six soup dumplings. They came out extremely quick, with just the right amount of broth, and the wrappers weren't so delicate that you had to worry about puncturing them pulling them out of the steamer basket. They held up well and tasted excellent. From there we ordered a whole bunch more. Think family-style portions, but more generous: - **Grandma's braised pork belly** - Super tender, with a flavorful sauce and quail eggs, not too salty. - **Spicy beef and tripe** - Served cold with very thin slices in a nice spicy sauce. It had a kick but wasn't overly hot. - **Peking duck** - We ordered a half duck, and it came with more than enough bao buns to build your own. A nice touch: since we were a big table, they also offered each of the 12 of us a complimentary ready-made Peking duck bun or soup dumpling, including the other two families. We all went with the duck buns, and they were excellent. - **Pan-fried noodles with pork, shrimp and fish** - The one miss. It was so saucy that the noodles were drenched and lost all their crispiness. - **Yang Chow fried rice** - Very nicely done, with big shrimp. These weren't the usual quarter-sized ones, more like half-dollar size. - **Soy sauce squid** - Cooked perfectly, not too salty and not overcooked to the point of being gummy. I also sampled from the other families' tables. Their dim sum dumplings were huge, and the honey roast chicken wings were excellent, crispy with a nice sweet glaze. For dessert, they brought us complimentary sweet soy milk soup with glutinous rice balls. It was sweet but not overly so, and it was awesome. One thing that was new to me: when the bills came, we could pay with Zelle, Venmo or cash. Great spot for a big group. I'd come back just for the pork belly, the duck buns and the soup dumplings.

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.

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 food used to be some of the best in the city with premium prices to match but now I see the food dropping off. The har gow is a good example. Identifiable chunks of shrimp has now given way to overworked paste and fillers.

I noticed they had passion fruit tea and omg you should definitely get it. It was so good. Grapefruit peach.. just okay in comparison.. Our wonton soup came first which is enough for 3 ppl if you just want a bowl to try. It had lil tiny shrimps in it ...not used to that but the flavor of the soup was light and the wontons were good. Skin was thin, not dense at all. Then our XLB came. I really liked the sampler. I tried the Scallop, chicken, pork and Luffa Gourd. L had the truffle and crab.. we were able to taste the flavors. They're light but very distinct. We don't eat too much sodium or processed food in our diets so we were able to distinguish each one. I actually liked the Scallop and chicken ones. The gourd one was really sweet but I could definitely taste the melon flavor. Chicken was savory and a touch better than the pork XLB...the scallop one was very unique. Light but very yummy. L said the crab one actually had more flavor than other restaurants in Chinatown. And we both prefer these to the ones at Din Tai Fung. Price isn't an issue but taste wise this has a ton of soup, more flavor. DTF tastes almost like a frozen XLB cuz it's so small and doesn't have any soup! I have purchased frozen ones from restaurants before. Will definitely come here or a different location if I feel like having XLB. Service was pretty good. Very attentive. Refilled our tea all the time and when we ordered more items...everything was quick. Nice spot to grab a quick, casual meal.

Tried their dimsum a few months ago for the first time and would eat there again!…read more My venture here was in hopes of trying a new spot. 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!

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?
