"Versailles meets a 1970s diner. That’s how we’d describe this Cantonese Flushing restaurant with a neon facade and a dining room where chandeliers dangle over banquet-sized tables. Similar to nearby Asian Jewels (another top dim sum destination), New Lake Pavilion is open all day, but it's busiest on weekend afternoons, when overloaded carts ferry around siu mai and egg tarts. By 11am, the whole place is packed, with families crowding the entrance. Don’t be discouraged. The line moves quickly. Once you get seated, pay special attention to the silky, well-marinated chicken feet, and be sure to try the shrimp cheung fun and puffy pineapple pork buns that deflate like sweet, chewy balloons. photo credit: Kate Previte photo credit: Kate Previte photo credit: Kate Previte photo credit: Kate Previte" - Bryan Kim
