I just got back from Chinese New Year's Eve dinner at Lake Pavilion. My family reserved one of the private rooms on the side of the main dining area. The room was beautifully decorated: crystal chandelier, full-height gold wall art flanked by plush silver paneling. The table settings were pretty upscale; the teacups even came with their own saucers. We ordered a standard set menu with multiple courses (I can't remember if it was 8 or 10). The food was all done well, even the triple lobsters (yep, not just twin lobsters, but TRIPLE). They even gave us huge slices of braised abalone and a large fish filled with roe! My only minor critique is that the dishes of fried rice and longevity noodles (yee mein) were too small to serve a table of 14 people.
Our waiters checked-in to our room frequently to see if we were okay, and they made sure to give us clean plates throughout the dinner. Lake Pavilion also gets massive bonus points from me because the manager was kind enough to give us an extra plate of Chinese prosperity muffins ("faat guo", a special New Year's treat) ON THE HOUSE! Now that's what I...
Read moreIt's difficult to put into words how much our family cherishes this restaurant. For over 15 years, you have been more than just a place to eat; you've been a constant source of wonderful meals and warm memories.
The food is incredible—my seafood noodle soup is a highlight every time. But what truly sets you apart is the kindness of your staff. They are not just nice; they are genuinely wonderful people. This is especially important for my parents, who don't speak English. When they come here, your team treats them with such warmth and respect that they feel completely at ease.
You also create such a welcoming environment for families. My 6-year-old son loves it here, and we appreciate how much you clearly care for your younger guests. With the added convenience of parking and prices that can't be beaten in the area, you are a true gem on Kissena Blvd.
We are so grateful for you. Sending our deepest thanks and all our support—we hope you are able to thrive and keep your doors open for a very,...
Read moreA highly underrated hidden gem that deserves a full 5 stars. Some of the best authentic Chinese food in the area, which is saying alot for a place in Flushing. Great flavors with portion sizes fitting for groups ~4 or more. We had Spicy beef, spare ribs, sour lamb casserole, and hand-torn cabbage. I couldn't tell you which was my favorite because they were all in the top 20 dishes I've had this year. If you're on the fence because of the 3.9 star average reviews(at the time of this review), understand that you will be getting a meal of the highest caliber for price. I haven't over-eaten in a long time, but I was caught off guard by the intoxicated flavors, and am writing this review in a mixed state of pleasure and pain. 😉enjoy!
The one piece decor is also amazing and just a display of the passion behind the...
