China Pearl

China pearl in Chinatown Boston is being Renovated. So they are now doing business at a China pearl in Quincy. The place was very large very clean is lean amazingly fresh food and friendly staff. We were very pleased with our food. I suggest dim sum in the morning bemorning between 9 and 2 I believe. Chinese breakfast. 11 o'clock is a good time to go they bring the food around on little carts and then there is a steam table that opens up with some of the more expensive items in smaller portions. If you order from the menu the larger portions are more expensive. Great place best place for dim sum

The decor makes it feel fancy,but it is not expensive. The food is good and there's American influenced and authentic Chinese meals. The wait staff are attentive and quick. There was live music which was kind of a plus but since it was mostly the same song (I think they were practicing) I didnt give the restaurant a 5. They have dim sum until 5 but we got dinner. I recommend the fish and tofu or the curry noodles.

Prices are up, as is everywhere, but quality is down. Very disappointed as this was one of my favorite places for many years. The shrimp rice pancake had 2 tiny shrimp in it, all I ate was floured rice with a hint of shrimp... horrible. The shrimp ball's were still good. A $1 a person additional charge to sit down... come on, really! It's like getting on a plane, you pay more for less.

Went on Saturday for brunch. Not very much selection and almost everything was cold or mildly warm. Wasn't super busy so slow food turnover, but steamed items should never be cold. The salt and pepper fried octopus from the walk up bar was horrible. Greasy, and probably sat foe over any hour. They do have great fried stuffed Taro dumplings.

China pearl is such a better option that the Boston Chinatown dim-sum places. Not only is the food good, but the service and atmosphere is much friendlier. Boston dim-sum is so hectic especially with the lack of parking and lines. Also the bathrooms here are spotless; they even put ice in the men’s urinals to keep men from pissing all over then place since they are preoccupied with melting the ice in the urinal. Great for large parties and families. They start serving alcohol at 12pm
