Asian Jewels

Came on a bustling Saturday morning but glad we came here because it has been a while since I’ve had authentic dim sum that was very very good. Great overall experience with the aunties pushing the carts!

This place is one of those rarities. I try to find good dim sum locations and I'll say this one stands out from the rest. The service was quick and efficient nothing to complain about, the cart ladies were so sweet. However, The food was not really hot and the noodles (seafood mei fun) were a bit hard for my liking, tasty squid though.<br><br>Overall I still gave five stars cause the atmosphere was nice, the free basket parking was worth it and I LOVED the honey-glazed, baked bao buns and rice noodle with beef (cheung fun).

Came here for dinner as it was right next to our hotel. Were not welcomed particularly warmly. Half the serving staff that served us did not speak English. The food was good but on the pricey side. Took ages to get bill because of a lack of staff.

This place is a gem and I genuinely love it. I’ve been coming here for dinner for many years, usually with a large group of at least 10 friends, and we always have a great time. The atmosphere is lively, the food is consistent, and it’s the kind of spot that just works for a big group of Chinese food lovers.<br>I know they’re best known for their dim sum brunch and lunch, which absolutely deserves the hype, but I promise you, dinner is just as fantastic. One of my favorite things to do is pick something fresh from the tank and let the kitchen prepare it a few different ways.<br>One tip: their wine selection isn’t the strongest, but they let you BYOB for a flat per person corkage fee, which is nice. Overall, it’s a wonderful authentic Chinese restaurant, and a great place to come when you want to enjoy something authentic. Highly recommend.

Solid dim sum spot in flushing. Always a go to when I’m in the area craving traditional cart dim sum. Reasonably priced, solid portions, decent service. Make sure to stop by when you’re having that itch for a good Shu Mai or har gow, or sticky rice!

If you want classic dim sum in Flushing, this place is a local favorite for a reason. The dining room is lively and full of energy, just the way a good dim sum spot should be. Service moves fast and the food keeps coming. The roast duck was excellent, crispy skin and full of flavor.

My friend and I went without reservations and were seated right away. The atmosphere felt very homey — large round tables that could easily seat 8+ people, giving it that family-style dining vibe. As soon as we sat down, they brought out green tea and peanuts, which was a nice touch.<br><br>The waiter initially hovered a bit but seemed to notice we were still deciding, so he stepped away and came back later to take our order. The restaurant mainly focuses on seafood, but since my friend has an allergy, we ordered from the American Chinese menu instead. We got the veggie egg fried rice, chicken wings, veggie steamed buns, and the star of the night — sesame chicken.<br><br>The fried rice was unfortunately very dry; we ended up using the sesame chicken sauce just to make it more enjoyable. The wings were disappointing. I was expecting traditional wings, but they were more buffalo-style and didn’t taste good at all. The veggie steamed buns were just okay — nothing special. The sesame chicken, however, was amazing. If I ever came back, it would honestly just be for that dish. At the end of the meal, they brought out fruit, which was surprisingly fresh and delicious.<br><br>When it was time to pay, we noticed something that felt a bit odd. Our waiter took the card to the counter and then handed it to another woman on the other side of the restaurant. We didn’t see this happen with any other tables, so it stood out to us. While that was happening, he continued attending other tables. We stopped him to give him a cash tip directly, but he told us to leave it when the receipt came back. We’re not sure if that’s standard practice there or if they pool tips, but it felt unusual to us.<br><br>Overall, it wasn’t the best experience, and we likely wouldn’t return.

Old standby for dim sum in Flushing. Good variety, prompt service, dim sum served in carts.<br><br>Visited in January and some of the dishes were lukewarm. Otherwise, excellent and well worth the wait (which one will usually face).

One of the best dim sum spots in NYC - great service with carts, great food options, exactly what you want from a dim sum place. Great shu mai. Had to wait about 30 minutes indoors for a Saturday morning walk in, but it went fast. Servers are helpful and courteous.

Very good food and atmosphere. The dinner was amazing. Seafood was excellent. They were also very very attentive. The staff would frequently check to see if we each needed new, clean plates and swap our old ones.

Visited last Sunday and honestly left pretty disappointed. For such a well-known dim sum spot, the selection was surprisingly limited. A lot of the carts kept circling with the same very basic items—mostly pork dumplings and a few usual staples. I asked for a couple of dishes like eggplant and other vegetable options, but they never came out at all.<br><br>Service was also not great. The staff felt rushed and not very welcoming, and it was hard to get anyone’s attention when trying to ask about missing dishes. Overall the whole experience felt flat and not worth the hype, especially considering how much variety and vibrancy dim sum should have.<br><br>Probably wouldn’t go bac

I’ve been craving some authentic dim sum for a while, and Asian Jewels really hit the spot. The whole atmosphere took me right back to Hong Kong—spacious, lively, and full of energy, with servers pushing carts around the room. Not many dim sum places still do that, and I love the vibe it creates. As for the food, everything was pretty solid. The highlights were exactly what you’d expect from a place like this: the shumai were outstanding, and the har gow were just as good. Some of the other dishes were decent, though I’d skip the soup dumplings since you can get much better versions elsewhere. Overall, a great and reasonably priced lunch. I’d happily return.

First time dining here tonight after reading their reviews. We order chicken meehoon and soft tofu with veggies. Both dishes tasted great and not too salty. Highly recommend this restaurant!

Nice authentic dim sum experience. There are a lot of options on push carts. Although , a lot of dishes include shrimp which my husband is allergic to so more limited for us. Favorites include the chicken feet, meat and taro wrapped in tofu skin, and coconut pudding. We got there early when they opened around 9 on the weekend, however the kitchen doesn’t open until 10:30 so many things on the dim sum special list weren’t available.

Asian Jewels (敦城海鲜酒楼) is a classic Cantonese dim sum hall with food carts still roaming between tables—fast, loud, and nostalgic. We came on a packed weekend morning and got seated instantly. Within minutes, food was on the table.<br><br>We had all the staples—shumai, chicken feet, congee, fish balls, shrimp dumplings, milk buns. Everything was solid, nothing mind-blowing, but very true to the old-school experience. Service was efficient, no frills.<br><br>The space is huge and hectic, but that’s part of the charm. Price is totally reasonable—three people ate well for about $70 with tips. Not the best dim sum in town, but if you want that bustling, cart-pushing vibe without the wait, this spot delivers.
