Asian Jewels: Flushing’s Chandeliered Dim Sum Palace
Some restaurants serve brunch; Asian Jewels stages it. Under rows of ornate chandeliers in the heart of Flushing, carts of bamboo steamers weave between giant round tables while three generations of one family argue happily over the last shrimp dumpling. It is one of the great weekend spectacles of Queens dining.
The Tradition
Asian Jewels belongs to the grand Cantonese banquet-hall lineage — the Hong Kong-style seafood palace where dim sum rules the day and celebration dinners rule the night. A longtime Flushing anchor with a Michelin Guide nod, it doubles as one of the neighborhood’s favorite venues for weddings and family banquets, and the polish shows in how smoothly the vast room runs.
On the Table
Daytime means the classics: crystal-skinned har gow, plump siu mai, silky rice noodle rolls with beef, and black-bean spareribs, alongside connoisseur picks like watercress-studded beef balls, yuba-wrapped chicken and ham, and jellyfish tossed with scallion and sesame. In the evening the kitchen pivots to Cantonese seafood — whole steamed fish, ginger-scallion lobster — served banquet style.
The Space
The hall is enormous and unapologetically glamorous in the old Cantonese way: crystal fixtures overhead, bamboo greenery softening the edges, and tables sized for extended families. Even packed to the walls on a Sunday, the service keeps its rhythm — teapots refilled, carts steered, plates counted without a pause.
Who It’s For
Multi-generational family gatherings, birthday tables of twelve, and hosts planning a banquet who want a room that makes an occasion feel like an occasion.
Good to Know
What’s the best time for dim sum? Late morning, when cart variety peaks; weekends bring the fullest rotation and the biggest buzz.
Can it host a private celebration? Yes — banquet dinners and wedding parties are a house specialty; arrange in advance.
Do I order from a menu or the carts? Both: carts by day, plus a full Cantonese menu — evening seafood is ordered classically.
Is it kid-friendly? Very — the noise level is forgiving, and children love choosing from the carts.
Should we book ahead? For large groups and dinner banquets, yes; small daytime parties usually just queue briefly.

So tasty! I've eaten at many Chinese restaurants, but the crispy seafood noodles here are the best. The shrimp and squid are incredibly fresh. The service is also great. Even better than in London and Manchester. They al…

Decent food. A place with a genuine Chinese atmosphere.
An old-school dim sum spot in Flushing. Good selection, quick service, dim sum served from carts.
