Bustling dim sum hall with traditional decor and carts
"Frankly, multiple wedding receptions could happen at the same time in the many rooms of this dim sum spot. That is to say, there’s a lot of room here. Asian Jewels is usually pretty busy on weekend afternoons, but even then, you’ll probably only have to wait 20 or 30 minutes to eat your har gow, shumai, and steamed rice rolls. You can also stop by for dinner to eat some delicious Cantonese dishes, like a puffy chow fun with beef and salt, and pepper pork chops." - carina finn koeppicus, kenny yang, neha talreja, bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick
"Waving down dim sum carts is fun no matter how old you are. And Asian Jewels in Flushing is an excellent place to do just that. Not only do we love the Cantonese food, but this place is a well-oiled machine. There’s tons of room, and even when the restaurant is at its most packed on weekends, you'll still typically be seated in under 20 minutes. Expect a dull roar of contented chit chat and babies babbling, and be sure to grab some steamed rice rolls and the fried shrimp dumplings." - willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, sonal shah
"If you’re looking for dim sum in Flushing, there is no better choice than Asian Jewels. The cavernous, chandelier-filled spot will fit everyone you’ve ever wanted to eat shumai with, though you should expect a little wait on weekends. Take a number when you arrive, and then work up an appetite for tender beef spare ribs, crispy fried shrimp dumplings, and extra-garlicky salt and pepper squid." - willa moore, bryan kim, matt tervooren
"Asian Jewels in Flushing does just about everything at a high level. This expansive Cantonese restaurant is as ornate as an upscale conference center—and it has an abundance of carts, which circulate quickly with a wide variety of dim sum. Expect everything from durian puffs and multiple kinds of tripe to sausage buns and soup dumplings. Those soup dumplings are solid—but the peppery beef ribs and near-perfect chicken feet are two dishes in particular that keep bringing us back." - neha talreja, bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, will hartman, willa moore
"Scope out the Flushing seafood and dim sum restaurant for its Lunar New Year-appropriate preorders, such as the sauteed lobster in black bean sauce, steamed whole fish, and seafood rolls." - Nadia Chaudhury
