"Even if you don’t factor in the majestic retro facade with neon that can be spotted from outer space, Flushing’s New Lake Pavilion is still one of the most regal dim sum experiences in town. On weekend mornings, every single seat in the vast, carpeted dining room is filled, and carts zoom around glossy white columns, delivering fresh pork buns and sticky rice to families sitting at big round tables. The crisp, chewy deep-fried shrimp rice rolls are essential, and so are the pork-filled taro puffs and tender chicken feet that arrive saturated with caramelized soy flavor." - bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, neha talreja, willa moore, will hartman
