China Pearl Restaurant

All of this with tax and tip was $30 which I thought was quite pricey for dim sums…so definitely bring 2-3 people to split dim sums with I liked the shui mai the best, it was plump and juicy and filled with bunch of shrimps and pork filling. Would definitely get that again. It was also the biggest shui mai I ever seen too. The chicken feet was objectively good too. I think it was at least 10 chicken feet for $9 which wasn’t too bad? I don’t know it was my first time trying chicken feet The thousand-year egg congee is the one I have issues with because it left such bitter taste in my mouth like so gross. Also the congee itself didn’t look quite clean and freshly made so I ended up eating only half of it. Also there is $1.50 dimsum charge that’s automatically added to your bill and I think that covers the tea. But the restrooms are super clean and the remodeled place is very spacious and nice so I would give this place another try but make sure to bring 2-3 ppl and avoid congee and order other stuff instead

Nice quiet ambience. This place served dim sum as well. Quite disappointed with the Hong Kong style Lobster, not the usual style I had before, do enjoy their salted fish fried rice..

I only give this place a 4 star because their dim sum menu, while very good, is limited versus other places . It has all of the popular main dishes but they don't have things like fried shrimp balls and a few other things. That being said this may now be the best dim sum restaurant in Chinatown. As a young man I spent many moon in Chinatown eating dim sum, roast duck etc. Things have changed as they always do. From what I can tell based on other reviews this restaurant recently reopened. The decor is top notch. The space between tables is quite large so you don't feel cramped. We had a party of 4. It is a failry large upstairs space. The bathrooms were very modern. The food they did serve was very good. I debated about which dim sum restaurant to choose on this visit and all of us were glad that we landed on the updated China Pearl Restaurant. Next time I'm back in town, we won't have to debate which restaurant. China Pearl will be the place we go to .

Great dim sum, in a beautiful atmosphere!

China Pearl used to be the iconic spot for Boston’s Chinatown. We had our wedding banquet there many years ago and recently visited it again. After the renovation, the dining room appears neater and nicer, but the menu is narrower—very boring. It’s no different from any Americanized Chinese restaurant. The food is also disappointing and cannot compare to the old days. It feels like the new generation of leadership focuses more on the look than the food.
