Ha Long Bay continues to be one of my favorite spots in Pinellas, and it's easy to see why. The…read moremenu spans dim sum, Chinese, and Vietnamese dishes, so you can build a meal that hits every craving in one sitting -- which is exactly what we did last night. We started with dim sum: taro dumplings (three pieces) and shark fin dumplings (four pieces) -- despite the name, there's no shark fin involved, it's just named for the shape, which resembles a shark fin. Filling-wise it tasted like a shu mai with pork and shrimp, just sealed closed rather than open-topped. Their house-made hot chili sauce was a standout -- just the right amount of heat without overpowering the dumplings. For entrées, I went with the Com Thit Nuong (Vietnamese grilled pork chop with egg), and my wife had the Banh Xeo (Vietnamese pork and shrimp crepe). We also ordered the salt and pepper calamari, which stole the show for me -- the batter was light and perfectly seasoned, fried up crunchy, and tossed with garlic and hot chilies. Hands down my favorite dish of the night. They also do a Mandarin-style pork chop that reminds me of the Peking-style pork chops you'd find in Chinatown, NYC -- a nice touch for anyone missing that flavor down here in Florida. Between the variety, the quality, and the consistency, Ha Long Bay remains a go-to for us. Highly recommend going in with a group so you can sample across all three cuisines.

Menu has a large selection and they came by with their dim sum cart and offered us some selections. Their pork dumpling and beef bun was good. Pho: 3/5, spices were too fragrant and almost all I could taste from the soup. Bun Bo Hue: 4/5, a bit too sweet for my liking but still good! Beef fried rice: 5/5, star of the show! So good and cooked very well. Sichuan beef: 2/5, thought it was gonna be more Chinese infused but it was just stir fry. Garlic pork chops: 2/5, heard great things but this was okay and too sweet. Almost tasted like ice-cream. Overall, food was good and I wouldn't mind coming back.

Service here was not good. Someone told me five times that someone would come and take my order. It took a while. When I see someone come in after me and they have all their food, and I have not ordered, that's not good And the other table next to me they got all their food at totally diff times. I got my food actually pretty quickly after my order was put in so I was surprised and it was piping hot. You pay at the front here, they don't give you a bill at your table. They accept cash or card. Not Apple Pay which they said they did. I told her I'd get my card in the car and she looked at me as if I was going to dine and dash. I reassured her I was coming back and I surely did. The tables can definitely be loud so just keep that in mind when picking a table if you want to talk.

If you want good traditional Chinese style cooking (hanging peeking duck included), you must give this place a try.

They're sweet-and-sour chicken is my husband's favorite because they don't put the sauce on the chicken becomes on the side as it should. I really like their chow mein as well as their fried rice and their Kung pao chicken and Mongolian beef. I always get their food to go and they have a great to go set up... you walk in the door and they're ready for you. Charge your card. They have all the sauces and mustard available to grab as much as you like.... And also chopsticks.. Parking is super easy and their prices are very reasonable with large portions.

I've been looking at weekday menus, so I inadvertently brought us on the weekend when the menu was different and didn't have things my kids would eat. However, my husband and I really enjoyed the food. I tried a Matcha latte with oat milk and Ube cold foam. It is amazing, no notes. I would get it every single time. We also tried their soup, dumplings, steamed chicken dumplings, pickled vegetable side, pork bun, and shrimp and pork bun. I can't eat the buns since I don't eat pork, but everything else was amazing. One of my sons did end up choosing a chocolate croissant so I tried a little and it was very good as well. This isn't your grocery store croissant. It was buttery and flaky with a good amount of chocolate. Inside is filled with eclectic decor, and you can purchase the art on the wall. Everyone who worked here was very friendly. They have a small parking lot out front, but this place isn't around a ton of other things so I would assume parking is no problem. If I lived closer, I would come back for the Matcha latte alone. I would definitely recommend checking this place out.

I would have taken pictures, but the food was just too good to wait!!…read moreEverything here is great, but the Dim Sum is amazing. If you can get here between 11-2, they will make some of the best Asian food you have ever had. The shrimp balls are one of a kind. Yes, they are fried (like the sticky lork dumpling), but sometimes you have to make your heart work for a living! The Hong Kong steamed rice (wrapped in a banana leaf!) is a must have. The Shu Mai is another... don't ask, just eat it! I like the pork ribs, but i will admit they are a LOT of gristle...its like eating chicken feet without thinking about chicken feet! We both really loved the chinese broccoli...and if you ask - they will bring you some without oyster sauce! Don't let my weird hang-ups put you off. If you are adventurous, they have 2 full carts of Dim Sum with all kinds of great food. They even have a picture menu of the Dim Sum offerings so you can see what they have before the cart gets to your table.

I had heard great things about it and hadn't gotten the chance to go until recently. This is mostly because they're located in Windermere, which is a bit aways from most of Orlando. It was chosen as the dinner location for a work dinner for Asian American Heritage Month. May might be over, but Asian food is forever. It's in a very cute location with shops around and ample of parking. They had tables set aside for us and they have a full menu as well as the dim sum menu, which you mark how many of an item you want. Family style dining as is most Asian dining. The interior is super nice and it does feel upscale. They have large tables and some smaller ones but it's not a huge restaurant space. This means the meals feel very cozy and intimate. We got the squid ink shrimp dumplings and regular shrimp dumplings. They were both a 9/10. I will say that squid ink anything does not add to the flavor, just the color of the food. Squid ink is slightly more expensive. The shumai was a 9/10. By the way the dumplings were huge and about 4 pieces per order. We tried the curry fish balls, which essentially is fish balls like the ones you get at hot pot cooked in a yellow curry. It was my first time trying this and I thought it was just ok. This was a 5.5/10. Some ordered beef and broccoli for the table and it was delicious. Definitely a large dish to be shared. That was an 8.5/10. We tried their wonton soup which came with noodles and bok chop. This was an 8/10. The fried shrimp balls were excellent and is a 9/10 for me. Normally, I think they are either too savory or oily. However, these ones had great crips and really well balanced flavor. We tried my favorite dim sum dish, which is the rice rolls with shrimp. This was a 6/10 for me. It just wasn't my favorite one that I have had. We also tried the mango custard bun, which was a 8/10. Overall, I would give them a 8/10. It is a little on the more pensive end for dim sum but the atmosphere is nice and service is pretty good. I love dumplings. I could eat dumplings any day, all day. It truly is one of those things I would have as a part of my last meal on Earth.

That's fine, as I don't go there for the looks.., I go for the food. There are so many Chinese places around here, but Asian Pearl has the best Beef Chow Fun around. It is the closest I found around here that is similar to Chinatown, New York city. The Beef Chow Fun was excellent! The broad noodles are not as wide as in Chinatown, but they are quite sufficient. The strips of beef tasted excellent as well! Two things that I did not like about the place, was the fact that the Won Ton soup was so expensive and they charge for hot tea. Most eat in Chinese restaurants always put a pot of hot tea on the table for you to enjoy at no charge. I will skip the hot tea and wonton soup. Those are not deal breakers. I will be back for Beef Chow Fun next time I need a fix.

We had chicken and mushroom broth for our hotpot's and it was nice that they were two smaller pots on the side while we had our grill in the middle. They also have a salad bar and sauce bar on the side. They bring you your meats that you choose from their menu. They also bring you hot pot items, there are also some hot pot items on their conveyor belt. We don't do hot pot & kbbq often and after getting a hang of it's fine. It does feel like a lot of work at first. But hot pot you are just throwing stuff in the pot and bbq you are flipping them over, we also made fried rice on the grill too. My husband and I enjoyed it. He often doesn't want to do it and we both thought it was tasty. They have desserts here as well. He had a strawberry cake and I had a mango cake. We were both so full when we were done.
