Traditional dim sum with carts, crispy shrimp rolls, and pineapple buns
"When we say get here early during peak hours (around brunch time on weekends), we mean it! Once you get situated you can request which tea you want (we like doing half Chrysanthemum and half Pu-erh/Bo lay) and the ordering begins. The food gets wheeled out on traditional carts in small baskets and you get a stamp depending on the size of the dish. Our must haves at any dim sum restaurant are the rice noodle rolls, steamed dumplings, taro cake, and egg tart to finish it off." - QNS MADE
"It’s hard to pinpoint what exactly makes New Lake Pavilion such a superior dim sum destination. Maybe it’s the retro facade left over from the diner that previously occupied the palatial space on the southern edge of Flushing. Or maybe it’s the energy of the room packed with families and roving carts. Just make sure you order the crispy shrimp rice rolls when you go." - bryan kim, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, will hartman, sonal shah
"Asian Jewels technically serves the best dim sum in Flushing, but only by an inch. New Lake Pavilion is right up there with it, and it offers a more classic, old-school experience. Located in a former diner, the place is just one enormous room with chandeliers, Greek columns, and roving carts squeezing between big round tables. Be sure to snag some rice rolls stuffed with fried shrimp when you see them come by." - carina finn koeppicus, kenny yang, neha talreja, bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick
"Even if you don’t factor in the majestic retro facade with neon that can be spotted from outer space, Flushing’s New Lake Pavilion is still one of the most regal dim sum experiences in town. On weekend mornings, every single seat in the vast, carpeted dining room is filled, and carts zoom around glossy white columns, delivering fresh pork buns and sticky rice to families sitting at big round tables. The crisp, chewy deep-fried shrimp rice rolls are essential, and so are the pork-filled taro puffs and tender chicken feet that arrive saturated with caramelized soy flavor." - bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, neha talreja, willa moore, will hartman
