King Yum
Description
This charmingly old-school Cantonese establishment dishes out classic Americanized Chinese food like your grandparents remember it—large, family-style portions of orange beef, egg rolls, spareribs, egg foo young, shrimp with lobster sauce and chow mein, served with Polynesian-themed drink specials in a dining room filled with tiki decor. And that’s not just retro styling: one of the first Chinese restaurants in Queens, King Yum opened in 1953 and has remained remarkably unchanged since.
