Royal Queen

Dim Sum is a fading tradition nowadays, and the quality of several places that offer it have been decreasing for the last ten years. It is essentially a Southern Chinese brunch of sorts, to put it in the simplest way. Dim sum is a place where you eat with your friends and family several dishes varying in ingredients, prices, and flavors and eat so much you don't need to refill your stomach until dinnertime. Dim Sum is not just chicken feet, hao gao, and siu mai, although those are typically their staple dishes, but people should be willing to keep an open mind beyond what they see in television and tourist traps. Royal Queen is located in Flushing; and is easily one of the biggest and roomiest dim sum places in New York City. They have a variety of dishes to offer and is a place you should go to with a large party. They are also one of the few places left in Flushing that still has decent dim sum.

Featured in the pictures is hao gao (steamed shrimp dumpling), steamed fish balls, and steamed roasted pork rice roll.

Their address is 136-20 Roosevelt Ave, Flushing, NY 11354. You should probably forget about parking, but if you have to, go early.
