Dim Sum Palace

For Long Island City locals, this spot offers a shortcut to flavors comparable to Flushing without the massive lines. The menu goes beyond the basics to include traditional Cantonese dishes alongside dim sum favorites like shrimp cheung fun, chicken feet, and a heavily stuffed lotus chicken rice wrap. Soup dumplings come in three-piece portions, and the kitchen moves quickly even during peak hours. Located just off the Court Square station, it makes grabbing dim sum for dinner or pairing a lychee martini with a fried crab and shrimp roll an easy neighborhood routine.
