Great food! The salted fish fried rice was delicious. Good value, great service. Plus they’ve got Tsing Tao, which goes well with Chinese food!
What happened to this place? It used to be so good. Now it's just going downhill, and fast.
I have been to China Pearl a number of times over the years, and I continue to find myself coming back here for Dim Sum when I am in the city. Having been to HK and China multiple times, I find the style of this restaurant gives off authentic vibes. However the ingredients, like all foreign based - Chinese owned joints, are not the same as back in the old country. With that being said, the quality of food here is still great and I enjoy many of the options that come around the yum cha carts. Give this place a try if you are new to Dim Sum or want to try some different Chinese dishes.
I loved the chaotic order of dimsum everything was right in front of you and shown to you like a street hawker. I like the atmosphere of this. The food was good, not great. The spice was definitely lacking on some of the dishes. The pork buns were to die for! Loved fresh bread!
Brunch place, really typical according to my Chinese friend. Amazing food! Choose according what your eyes see and listen to your belly!
Last thing; enjoy!!!
Prefer to go before 12 to be placed fast
This restaurant is dishonest about billing, they trick you by messing up the number of stamps on your ordering sheets. If you have to go here, you have to go, but pay special attention to your bills. They are also quite peculiar about tipping, though service is poor (if there's any).
Plates were a good size! Also the managers know English very well and are very organized. Highly recommend this place for dimsum.
Great food and service! Family friendly. Being on the second floor, we did not see handicap accessible entrance and facility is showing its age
The best dim sum Graet varieties to choose from and great atmosphere
Aesthetic is pretty great. Good food, good selection, decent speed, and fair price. The crowd wasn't as bad as I had expected for Sunday dim sum. They also take reservations
One of Boston's better Dim Sum locations. Large banquet style room with plenty of tables, but don't let that fool you, it gets very busy after 11:30 on the weekends. The carts come around pretty frequently and they usually keep the food fresh. You need to go up to a separate counter to get veggies yourself.
The staff is what you'd expect at a Dim Sum restaurant, somewhat friendly and helpful but not overly service oriented. The restaurant doesn't compare to most of the West Coast or NYC Dim Sum restaurants, but it's one of your best bets in Boston, though if you are okay skipping cart service I prefer Winsor.
Always a good dim sum experience here. Fresh, hot food, quick service, and good selection. Getting there on the earlier side is advised to avoid a wait, as it seems to be one of the busier spots in the area.
Delicious weekend dim sum spot that is almost hidden away on a quiet street.
The entrance is a narrow long stairway that opens up to a fairly large restaurant.
Food-wise, it was good. Nothing to write home about, but does fulfill your dim sum craving. Waiters were attentive and carts were passing on a regular basis. Expect to wait 15-20min on a busy weekend lunch time.
Price point seemed a bit high with $60 for 3 people.
Still worth a try if you're in the area.
