Eater NY's dim sum map calls Asian Jewels a 'pre-eminent dim sum palace,' and the crowd matches the billing: The Infatuation describes it as a well-oiled machine where a hungry lobby crowd takes a number and waits for it to be called, with even packed weekend crowds typically seated within about 30 minutes, faster still if a party is willing to share a table.
On weekend mornings the crowd moves fast, tables turn over efficiently, and dim-sum carts keep cycling continuously through the dining room, per reporting aggregated from diner accounts of the restaurant's 9am weekend opening — though long waits are still reported for large groups.
