China Pearl

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.

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!

My family and I had a great meal at China Pearl tonight. We were a group of 14 and had vegetarians and gluten free people in the group and they were so accommodating, Patty in particular. We were able to give them a list of dishes we wanted to order ahead of time and we didn’t have to wait long before the food arrived. I am gluten free and would definitely go back- the food was delicious and it’s hard sometimes to get gluten free Chinese food. Highly recommend for large groups and for those with allergies! They took great care of us.

My family likes to go to.China Pearl for dim sum and dinner. Food is good and price is reasonable. Service is always very good. This is a spacious beautiful place to enjoy a lovely meal with friends and family. If you want some special traditional Chinese dishes not on the menu, let them know when you make reservation, they will try to accommodate. Easy to find parking in the big parking lot is great!
