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!

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.

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!

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?

Everything was well executed and on the higher quality end for HK style cafe in NYC. My favorite was the baked chicken over spaghetti; the topping of chicken was creamy and cheese and the spaghetti, although not al dente, maintained a firm enough texture to contrast nicely against the sauce. The fish filets were crispy and flaky but lacked a peppery kick that I craved. Given the comfortable seating, affordable prices, and quick service, KST is definitely worth a try despite located in Flushing among stiff competition.
