利苑食坊

Been coming here for years, and they recently upgraded their interior. As someone who grew up eating dim sum, I find their food to be consistently great—always fresh and flavorful. Service is always wonderful as well. Everyone is friendly and takes good care of their customers. If asking for extra sauce or anything, they bring it right away and they are attentive to refilling tea and water cups. They used to be a cash-only establishment, but I’m glad that they now accept credit card for convenience. I also love how they are open late. The spread pictured was delicious, although I order different dishes every time I go and I’ve loved them all. Thank you for being one of my favorite places in Flushing!!! 😋

The fried items are nicely crispy and not greasy, with generous, well-seasoned fillings. The steamed dumplings have thin wrappers and juicy insides, pairing perfectly with the dipping sauce. The restaurant has a simple and relaxed atmosphere, great for an easygoing dinner.

I'm not sure why, but I just loved eating here when I was a kid. It felt like a 'big meal' or a 'special treat' in my childhood eyes, and I even celebrated several birthdays here! The service has always been pretty good, and the food has a delicious dim sum feel to it.

The service was prompt for how busy they were on Christmas day, and I was given a chair to sit and wait for my order to come out. Now for the food review: I ordered the dim sum beef balls and sticky rice in lotus leaf. The beef balls 3 pieces were juicy tender and flavorful and wrapped in some kind of bean curd very tasty. The sticky rice in lotus leaf came in 2 pieces wrapped like tamales 🫔 they had little baby shrimps, slices of Chinese sausage, slices of mushrooms, and some beef pieces some of my favorite fillings for the lotus tamales. Overall 4 out of 5 stars 🌟 very delicious I will be back to try other things!

I visited this restaurant for the first time with a party of six. Having enjoyed Hong Kong-style cafes in the past, I had high expectations, but this experience was disappointing. We started with the beef balls, which unfortunately had a strange fishy taste. Overall, the food was unimpressive. To make matters worse, the service was disorganized; our orders were incorrect and the wait times were excessive. Our waiter was unfriendly and inattentive to our needs. We won't be returning.
