My go to dim sum place. Has reliable and consistent food. It's super crowded on weekends, holidays and Mother's Day but if you go early (or late), you won't need to wait as long. Parking is tough since the tiny parking lot can get full quickly but if you're willing to walk, you can do street parking a couple blocks away. Service is okay as long as you catch the attention of a waiter. Ambience is a typical chinese restaurant...loud!

The chashu buns this time were perfectly satisfying so I think there is a bit of discrepancy. The eggplant shrimp was cold sadly but wouldve been good if it was hot. The slightly crispy breaded shrimp on cheung fun was still my favorite. This is the best dim sum place in flushing. The egg tarts were out of this world and perfectly buttery, crispy, and hot. Get some to go!

One of the better dim sum places I've been to! The egg tart and steam rice roll were incredible. We came Sunday morning (10am) and got a table immediately. They have valet parking so it's convenient.

Just updating since I came here today with my family for lunch. It was so crowded that I was worried that I made a mistake coming when I couldn't even get anyone to get a number from but when I finally got his attention the gentleman told me it will be quick, 15 minutes. So we waited. And he was right we were seated in 15 minutes. There was pretty good turnover which is what you want at a dim sum restaurant. It means the food is fresh. The inside is big with many tables as well as side rooms. Immediately we ordered tea, some noodles, and grabbed some dim sum from the cart going around. I asked them not to put bean sprouts into the beef flat noodles and they obliged. The food is still solid. The noodles were cooked well. The beef flat noodles might have under seasoned but the pan fried noodles were nice and crispy. As for the dim sum we didn't order that many: the chicken feet, the turnip cake, fried taro dumpling, and the coconut jelly. They were all solid but the best was the coconut jelly. It was jiggly and the texture was perfect. I'm glad this place is still good.

I have eaten here many times and it by far the most delicious dim sum. I am unclear of the low star rating. The restaurant's dim sum is always on point and meets my expectations. On the weekends, this place is packed and a mad house since it does have a parking lot and by the Asian supermarket. If you wanted to avoid the main st flushing area entirely and have some dim sum - this place is a good spot

Booked a room at the restaurant for dinner for my sons first birthday. I booked my reservation with Sam. He was very responsive and helpful. He was able to send me the menu and make recommendations on what to order. The room was big and spacious. The staff was very attentive and they serve the food for everyone. We ordered 2 set menus. 1 seafood set for 10 people and 1 regular set for 8 people. We had about 16 people and that was way too much food. The food was all presentable but the taste was bland. There were not a lot of flavors. The food just tasted as it was downed in water and oil. The food is not really up to par but this place provide a private room and good service for special occasions.

As a native Queens lifelong resident I have many times passed New Lake Pavilion during my travels, but this is my first visit with my family for a Saturday March, 2024 brunch. This large Chinese banquet hall restaurant is located at the peripheral south of Flushing upon the Long Island Expressway exit. Ahh, nostalgia of growing up with large Chinese banquet halls in Manhattan for Dim Sum parlors of classic Cantonese cuisine and New Lake Pavilion stand their ground resisting progress and inflation, especially agflation. The decor is beautiful with painting panels on the partition dividers and chandeliers adored the ceiling chandeliers adored the ceiling with mural painting Cherubs. My foodie synopsis: siu1 maai6/2 燒賣 - Pork and mushroom dumpling were well prepared, but the mushroom were too large and overpowered the dumpling. zyu1 coeng4*2/4 fan2 豬腸粉 - Chee Cheong Fun rice noodle roll was very fresh, but the texture was too chewy from the thickness. ngau4 juk6 coeng4*2 牛肉腸 Beef rice noodle roll rice roll, same as the other cheong fun, texture was too chewy from the thickness. haa1 coeng4*2 蝦腸 蝦腸 Shrimp rice noodle roll, the same as the other cheong fun, texture was too chewy from the thickness. haa1 gaau2 蝦 餃 - Shrimp dumplings was blooming with shrimp, less dumpling wrapping. zan1 zyu1 gai1 - Sticky rice lotus wraps were good consistency. mong4 gwo2 bou3 din1 芒果布甸 - Mango pudding was very lumpy like feta cheese and it was not mango juice. This was truly disappointing. It is one of my favorite dim sum desserts. To further my despondent, there were no hang6 jan4 dau6 fu6 杏仁豆腐 almond pudding in the Dim Sum food carts. The ladies pushing the food carts, thankfully, speak Cantonese and rather aggressive to sell the food. Business card and take-out menu are available for grabs. Food in any cultural cuisine is what brings people together as a community united. The Dim Sum is solid and I ate my fill. Yum Cha, please! Our tea were refilled with hot water. Facilities were decent and accessible without any stairs. Customer service is average and somewhat attentive. I finally managed to awake from being wracked with intense grief to get out into the world for food. There is a small parking lot, but it quickly becomes very filled for full occupancy. New Lake Pavilion is very accessible via public transit by MTA 7 train and MTA buses Q17; Q48; Q25; Q34; Q65; Q27; Q19; Q66; N20G; N20X; Q20A; Q20B; Q44-SBS; Q50; Q26; and Q12.
