9/13/2023 0 Comments Jewel dim sum flushing![]() ![]() When I got there that night, a woman in suit looked at my receipt and swallowed hard: that alcove decked out to the nine. The funny thing was - I made them to write the spot on the receipt for no apparent reason (never thought any business would do that sort of thing) but it turned out saved my day or night. But promised would have two tables for my group. Two nights prior, a manager called me to say that spot was given to someone else who paid more. About 16 years ago, I made a reservation for dinner during Chinese New Year, for 20 people, and paid a deposit, for a little alcove with the sliding door. ![]() And on top of it they used bread, are they out of their mind? It should be thin crepe! Granted this is a Cantonese restaurant but other dishes are tasteless. Except the noodle, nothing to talk about. Of the many visits, I find food is below the average. Now the same street is booming with a Hyatt and new building is going up. I will not return, and do not recommend this restaurant.This restaurant has been the first with decent table setting, a little fancier when that street was kind of vacant. It’s certainly no jewel in the crown of Asian cuisine. No wonder other diners have commented on rats scurrying around. The restaurant lacked acceptable standards of hygiene tables were being brushed clean after diners had vacated, with crumbs just being swept to the floor. Surely a chef in a restaurant of this calibre understands the dangers associated with raw chicken? The chicken was well-undercooked and disgusting. It appeared a few minutes’ later and was virtually inedible. We we also ordered a chicken dish with bean shoots, bamboo shoots and various vegetables. They were lukewarm, bland, and not particularly enjoyable. We chose a number of dim sum dishes from the various carts: steamed pork dumplings, sesame chicken balls, some kind of small meatballs, and a prawn dim-sum. The menu is vast it’s not just seafood as the name here suggests further, I think the restaurant is know known as Asian Jewels. This happened all the way through the lunch we were constantly interrupted and it became a bit annoying. We were seated promptly, and before we barely had time to settle we were pounced upon by a bevvy of waiters and waitresses with dim-sum trolleys, all trying to get us to choose something from their carts. to be a very hurried service so you could be shoved outside as quickly as possible to make way for more diners and therefore more money. It’s a vast and very busy dining room in the heart of Chinatown in downtown Flushing in Queens, and our overall dining experience was, at best, extremely poor. I was not enamoured with this restaurant in any way shape or form.
