Worthy Picks

$ Downtown Flushing
An old-school Cantonese shop that’s more about everyday comfort than banquet-room ceremony, with the kind of rice rolls, congee, and roast-meat plates that scratch the dim-sum itch without the cart chaos. Come hungry but focused: one rice noodle roll plus one roast-meat plate reads like a complete, satisfying mini dim sum session.
Must-Try Dishes: Roast Duck on Rice, BBQ Pork, Congee with Century Egg
What makes it special: Traditional Cantonese BBQ with Hong Kong cafe-style efficiency
$$$ Murray Hill
A Murray Hill banquet hall setup running traditional cart-service dim sum with an emphasis on space, parking ease, and big-table convenience. It’s best as a practical, no-drama brunch choice: stick to the core steamed classics, then add one larger plate to avoid a scattered, lukewarm table.
Must-Try Dishes: Har gow (shrimp dumplings), Siu mai, Baked BBQ pork bun (char siu bao)
What makes it special: Banquet-hall dim sum with carts and easier logistics.
$ Downtown Flushing
A basement food court format where dim-sum-adjacent snacking—buns, dumplings, pastries—fits best as a fast crawl rather than a sit-down meal. The quality swings by vendor, but the upside is speed and variety: grab two or three items you can eat immediately and keep moving.
Must-Try Dishes: Egg tart, Steamed buns, Dumplings
What makes it special: Food-court grazing for dumplings, buns, and pastries in one stop.
$ Downtown Flushing
A takeout-forward dumpling counter that works as a quick dim sum substitute when you want a few steamed bites without committing to a full banquet hall. Keep the order simple—one dumpling style plus one starchy side—so it stays hot and cohesive on the walk home.
Must-Try Dishes: Pork dumplings, Shrimp dumplings, Turnip cake
What makes it special: Fast dumplings as a no-frills dim sum stand-in.
