China Pearl

My husband and I will come here whenever we crave for dim sum. Servers are always friendly although they only speak couple of English words. Some aunties will come and offer foods from their carts. They have steamed, baked and fried items. In my opinion, prices are affordable enough.

The fastest restaurant we will eat in and out of! It truly was the worst dimsum I have had in Boston area. The beef rice roll had a strange flavour The shrimp roasted rice roll was horrible The seafood smells really bad and the meat is very poor quality

One of the best authentic Chinese restaurant in the area. We no longer going to Chinatown due to bad traffic and parking conditions. This place has a huge parking lot, next to a Asian grocery store. It’s perfect for going for Dimsum and also do your groceries after. We tried a few dishes with the host/chef recommendations, it was FANTASTIC! Strongly recommended!

China Pearl is a special place. It’s a cut above the rest for any dim sum restaurant I’ve encountered in the Boston area. If you’re visiting on the weekend, they have cart service dim sum until about 2:00pm. Sometimes there’s a line, but it tends to move fairly quick. I’ve never waited more than 15-20 minutes even when they were very busy. The earlier you arrive, the better. The people working here are incredibly sweet and hard working. It’s a big restaurant that’s pumping out a lot of food and it’s always crowded on the weekend. The food is always fresh and absolutely top notch. The owners are very hands on and you can see them helping out in so many places in the front of house. They treat everyone there like family and it’s a heartwarming experience every time. They’ve even accommodated me for certain items that sell out early by suggesting I call to have them hold a few of my favorites to the side and have come through for me every time. They also accommodate our special requests for kitchen items that aren’t on the carts. I can’t say enough great things about the kind of experience you’ll have at China Pearl. This is a must and absolutely the highest quality dim sum you can find near Boston. Some of my favorites include char siu bao, chicken feet, sticky rice wrapped in lotus leaf, egg custard pineapple buns, sweet tofu pudding, beef chow fun with gravy, sesame balls, rice roll with fried dough, salted egg steam bun, salty dumpling “football”, and siumai. There are frequently items that roll up on the carts that aren’t on the menu and that I’ve never seen before which is always a nice surprise and adds to the excitement of coming here.

My go-to for dim sum. I love that it’s still served on the push carts! Very nostalgic! Service is friendly and fast. If you come before noon for early dim sum on weekends, it much less busy. If you do not see something in particular on the push carts, you can place a special order for it.
