There is no doubt that Park Asia (翠園) is one of Brooklyn's most popular Chinese restaurants. Experiences here are like many grandeur, large, banquet halls (酒樓): it all boils down to timing. There is the chaos (and even a little mayhem) of their weekend Dim Sum, the subtle but less enthusiastic Cantonese dinner experience, and the cheesy wedding party celebration. Having been to all three scenarios on multiple occasions, I can actually say I like the place.
It goes without saying, the place is huge. It's not as massive as some of their nearby competitors, but it's large enough to turn some heads. There are tables everywhere of various sizes and big windows and a big chandelier in the center of the dining room. When it comes to Dim Sum, there is almost always a wait and when the place is full, it practically becomes a zoo. I would almost recommend coming on other days and avoiding the peak times during the weekend.
When it comes to Dim Sum, they're a solid 3 stars. I appreciate their immense variety but nothing I've tried is particularly memorable. If I had to choose a few items to crowd the table it would be their leaf wrapped glutinous rice (糯米雞), XO rice noodles (XO醬腸粉), shrimp dumplings (蝦餃), and turnip cakes (蘿蔔糕). Like any large Dim Sum spot, it can be a challenge in to get the carts to come your way and the food quality / availability is way better before noon.
I wouldn't put their dinner fare above any Canto spot in Chinatown, but I do appreciate the depth and variety of their offerings. Seafood wise, they're on point (fish, crab especially) but I can't really vouch for their land animal dishes (crispy chicken, lamb chops, etc.). I think for anyone attending a party here either in a private room or part of something bigger, that they do the standard dishes (rice, noodles, etc.) fairly well. Prices are also standard as well and somewhat cheaper than similar spots nearby.
A big beef for many folks here is the service and even the parking. No Cantonese place is ever known for doing either well, so I would recommend tapering expectations for service prior to committing to a visit here. When in the right frame of mind, one can feast very well here.
