My friend and I went without reservations and were seated right away. The atmosphere felt very homey — large round tables that could easily seat 8+ people, giving it that family-style dining vibe. As soon as we sat down, they brought out green tea and peanuts, which was a nice touch.
The waiter initially hovered a bit but seemed to notice we were still deciding, so he stepped away and came back later to take our order. The restaurant mainly focuses on seafood, but since my friend has an allergy, we ordered from the American Chinese menu instead. We got the veggie egg fried rice, chicken wings, veggie steamed buns, and the star of the night — sesame chicken.
The fried rice was unfortunately very dry; we ended up using the sesame chicken sauce just to make it more enjoyable. The wings were disappointing. I was expecting traditional wings, but they were more buffalo-style and didn’t taste good at all. The veggie steamed buns were just okay — nothing special. The sesame chicken, however, was amazing. If I ever came back, it would honestly just be for that dish. At the end of the meal, they brought out fruit, which was surprisingly fresh and delicious.
When it was time to pay, we noticed something that felt a bit odd. Our waiter took the card to the counter and then handed it to another woman on the other side of the restaurant. We didn’t see this happen with any other tables, so it stood out to us. While that was happening, he continued attending other tables. We stopped him to give him a cash tip directly, but he told us to leave it when the receipt came back. We’re not sure if that’s standard practice there or if they pool tips, but it felt unusual to us.
Overall, it wasn’t the best experience, and we likely wouldn’t return.

I’ve been craving some authentic dim sum for a while, and Asian Jewels really hit the spot. The whole atmosphere took me right back to Hong Kong—spacious, lively, and full of energy, with servers pushing carts around the room. Not many dim sum places still do that, and I love the vibe it creates. As for the food, everything was pretty solid. The highlights were exactly what you’d expect from a place like this: the shumai were outstanding, and the har gow were just as good. Some of the other dishes were decent, though I’d skip the soup dumplings since you can get much better versions elsewhere. Overall, a great and reasonably priced lunch. I’d happily return.

One of the best dim sum spots in NYC – great service with carts, great food options, exactly what you want from a dim sum place. Great shu mai. Had to wait about 30 minutes indoors for a Saturday morning walk in, but it went fast. Servers are helpful and courteous.

Old standby for dim sum in Flushing. Good variety, prompt service, dim sum served in carts.
Visited in January and some of the dishes were lukewarm. Otherwise, excellent and well worth the wait (which one will usually face).

Very good food and atmosphere. The dinner was amazing. Seafood was excellent. They were also very very attentive. The staff would frequently check to see if we each needed new, clean plates and swap our old ones.

Visited last Sunday and honestly left pretty disappointed. For such a well-known dim sum spot, the selection was surprisingly limited. A lot of the carts kept circling with the same very basic items—mostly pork dumplings and a few usual staples. I asked for a couple of dishes like eggplant and other vegetable options, but they never came out at all.
Service was also not great. The staff felt rushed and not very welcoming, and it was hard to get anyone’s attention when trying to ask about missing dishes. Overall the whole experience felt flat and not worth the hype, especially considering how much variety and vibrancy dim sum should have.
Probably wouldn’t go bac

So much good dim sum that gets pushed around on carts. Cart ladies can get a bit aggressive but you’ll never lack food options. Service is overall a bit inconsistent and all over the place but you’ll adapt. Egg tarts here were very good.

Good Chinese food in Flushing! They have a large space with lots of tables for big parties. They also have several private rooms available. The food is pretty standard compared to other restaurants in the area. One thing I didn’t like was that a lot of their sauces tasted similar with a hint of tomato like for the Peking Duck and the Pork Chops. Price was a bit expensive. Service was good. Parking lot with valet in the back, but gets hectic at the end.

If i could give 0 stars, i would. We went to asian jewel seafood last night at 8:30, the food was not good & the place was very unsanitary as we found a cockroach in our food! We also received bad service, the wait was very long & the sight of an insect in our food ruined our appetite. I will not be going back & recommend all to avoid or atleast be careful of this place. I was expecting clean food & good service & which none of those was provided. There are so many places to choose from instead of this place so i am very frustrated that we chose this place. I have attached the photo of the food with the cockroach in my dish. BEWARE!
