Flushing, NY 11354
Mother’s Day 2015. Treated Mom to dim sum. Instead of
fighting the crowds and long lines in Manhattan’s Chinatown, we decided to go
to Flushing’s Chinatown. Plus, it would be Mom’s first time visiting Flushing.
After doing a bit of research, we chose a restaurant that
would take a reservation. If you know anything about Chinese dim sum places,
most will not accept reservations. It’s first come, first serve (most make you
take a number) and the waits may take as long as an hour, especially on
holidays such as Mother’s Day. We also searched for a large, family-style
restaurant, as opposed to a hole-in-the-wall dim sum spot, which would be
appropriate for a celebratory meal.
When we showed up at the restaurant at 10:30 a.m., and a
crowd was already present at the restaurant’s lobby. However, my mom walked in
like royalty because we had a reservation. The restaurant literally added a
table for us. They rolled out a new tabletop and took chairs off of stacks of chairs
that were placed against a wall.
The food was fresh and delicious and plentiful.
The cart ladies were ever-present, and we were also able to order dishes to be made to order (we ordered a vegetarian noodle dish to go).
Pros:
Takes reservations!
Friendly service.
Great variety of dim sum.
Nice, clean restrooms!!!
Cons:
Pricier than most dim sum places.
Final Thoughts
Mom was happy and enjoyed the meal. And in the end that’s
all that matters!
