We've been here before on more quiet evenings but since it was the weekend it was noisier than usual. The quality of the food is great and keeps us coming back for more. Our favorite is the Pork and Shrimp Sui Mai. All the portions for entrees are a good size (for two people). For dumplings they are 4 pieces. The price is good for the amount you get. Here's what we got and our ratings: Pan-fried fish cake w thai sauce 7/10 Sesame chicken 7.5/10 Medium white rice (great portion for two, left with extra) 10/10 Shrimp dumpling 8/10 Shrimp and pork sui mai 8.5 Service: 8.5/10 - The woman at the front greeting us was very friendly and smiling. We would've liked the same energy coming waiters but overall it was a good time. The waiters were observant and easy to call over despite it being somewhat busy. They had multiple staff which is nice.

Unfortunately, the service we received during our last visit was unacceptable. After being seated and placing our order, it appeared that our waitress was upset about something, possibly involving the owner or another staff member. Whatever the issue was, it should not have affected customers. When our food arrived, she practically threw the dishes onto our table. The sauces splashed everywhere and even landed on my wife. WTF?? We were shocked by how careless and disrespectful the service was. We are paying customers, not asking for free. We understand that everyone can have a bad day, but this behavior crossed the line. If an employee is unhappy, she should go home. Don't take it out on the customers. Last Sunday will be our final visit. To this place.

I have had several dishes and they all are so tasty, plated beautifully and it makes your time here a treat! China Pearl was the site of a very special event and the restaurant not only opened their doors to all the guests but they served all of us with a variety of delicious foods! Our server could not have been any more accommodating and made the guests feel welcomed! The area was set up with several cloth covered tables, Balloons, Flowers, to accommodate the many who attended for a wonderful BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION for Quincy's own FIRST TIME ELECTED School Committee Member, " TOM LEUNG ", with a huge sheet cake decoration in Red, White and Blue Frosting and with 250th USA Anniversary and SNOOPY with HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOM that fed over 50 happy guests. Quincy's own Ward 2 City Councilor RICHARD ASH came in attendance and a DJUNNA PERKINS, Victory Winner at the Sept 1 Primary for District Attorney of Norfolk County!, were one of the few Elected Officials also in attendance to wish TOM Best Wishes. The guests all sang HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO TOM, and the cake cutting began! CHINA PEARL MADE THIS CELEBRATION VERY MEMORABLE! THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HELP!

My friends and I were in Quincy and decided to stop by here for lunch - what a great move! If…read moreyou're in the mood for some dim sum, this is the spot. They've got tons of options and everything we ordered was very solid. We definitely went more of the carbs route, but you can deviate as well. Nothing of major note in terms of service or atmosphere.

Believe it or not, our Latino Uber driver told us about Quincy, MA on D2 of our first Boston trip a…read morefew weeks ago. He said that it's a predominantly Chinese community. So ofc I had to look it up and find a good dim sum place. I had low expectations going in. We called just to make sure they were open as we realize businesses in MA don't pick up their phones. Not only did someone answer but agreed to save a table for us during prime dim sum hours. (Excuse me...what?). Something is learned in MA is always factor in traffic, no matter what Google Maps says. It's nothing fancy when you walk in. You can tell a lot of locals hang up and meet up with friends here. Ah Wah welcomed us in, being seated immediately to the table along the wall, near the storage. The order sheet with pictures was given and immediately checked off our staple items. -Siu Mai This was DD's favorite of all time and she is the Siu Mai monger in our fam. I trust her opinion. Well balanced filling, nicely steamed. Not overly fatty or seafoody IYKYK -Baked BBQ bun Tradional baked bun. Slightly crunchy top (not the pineapple crust). I could have eaten a whole plate by myself had I not had to save room for other dishes -Har Gow (being that we're in a fresh seafood state) -Steamed Beef ball - it was steamed on a bed of greens vs dried tofu skin. Omg! It's been ages since I've had it this way -Sesame Roll The egg tarts were sold out and this was our consolation prize but OMG, I might have cried at the first bite. Yes. It was that good. Freshly steamed and them rolled bc it came out in the beginning and still hot on the inside -Tofu pudding -Rice Roll (Beef) -Sticky Rice (Lo Mai Gai) - "Ha moon choy mai" (kinda looks like Filipino pancit) A wok fried vermicelli dish I haven't had in over 30 years was requested and didn't think they'd make it. But...they DID. The owner said the chef was from HKG and could make anything I wanted . The flavors were so nostalgic. Not only did the owner and manager stop by to chat, but the customers sitting next to us joined in. Everyone was so nice and welcoming like the other Bostonians we encountered on our trip. Ngl, I considered moving here just for the food and atmosphere. Probably one of the best dim sums I've had in the States and probably in HKG. Everything was steamed to perfection. It's been weeks and I am still thinking about my meal here, wondering when I can fly back to Boston again. Hopefully sooner than later. Definitely be back be for another trip with my parents, esp after we raved about this place here Overall, 4.5

My parents owned the spot years ago when it was Timmy Cafe. They sold the spot to Laurence's mom and she in turn sold it to him. The space is bright and the food is fire. There's not a lot of seating but there's a steady stream of people ordering to go. Laurence will also host pop up experiences for local chefs. My daughter loves their plain congee. I'm a big fan of the Rubato Fun Fun. The brisket in there tells you that Laurence knows how to make Chinese brisket the right way. They also have an amazing brisket steamed bao. The Fun Fun is loaded with everything you would want on a cheung fun dish mixed together. The highlight for me and keeps me coming back is the bolo fried chicken sandwich. There's so much going on between the sweet, flaky, and fluffy bolo bao, filled with a generous serving of a delectable fried chicken and saucy slaw. You get a complex mixture of flavors and textures in every bite. It can get messy, so lean forward and eat over your dish. I love that Laurence is often in the store and giving time to the fans of his TV cooking competitions. His team are also super competent and kind. I used Rubato catering for an event and the participants are still raving about the spread months later. Don't sleep on this local celebrity spot!

I got their Char Siu Claypot which was decent, but could definitely be improved. Half of the char siu was way too fatty, so it wasn't that pleasant. Too bad because the marinade of the char siu was good. The Mapo Tofu Claypot tasted way better but for a $20+ entree the rice was not that warm. Their new shrimp toast was crazy delicious and I would 11/10 recommend this though. Overall, I still enjoy the breakfast menu more but really do appreciate the longer hours and innovative menu.

A friend recommended this place, and based on my experience (see above), I was skeptical, but after…read moretrying it, I discovered that their signature claypot rice was actually the worst thing they had... House Chicken 秘制沙薑雞: The chicken was tender and juicy, with a perfect balance of lean and fat. The ginger sauce was incredibly authentic; you could easily eat two extra bowls of rice just by mixing it with the sauce. Beef Brisket w. Radish in Claypot 蘿蔔牛腩煲: The parts of the meat not submerged in the broth were a little dry, but overall it was still very aromatic! Yang Chow Fried Rice 揚州炒飯: This dish had absolutely nothing to do with Yangzhou fried rice, but that didn't detract from its deliciousness. The rice grains were distinct, light but not bland. Wok Tossed Beef Chow Fun 乾炒牛河: A bit of a disappointment. The rice noodles were too soft, making them greasy, and the wok hei (wok aroma) wasn't strong enough.

And her impact was proven while we were there last night because some kids asked their parents to come in as they were walking by just to say hello to her. Every time I come, she recalls exactly how I like my hot pot sauce and which unique beverage each of our family member will likely order. Fairy is an intimate setting. Not too loud. There's a strong following from the neighborhood. Their AYCE hot pot offering is reasonable in price and choices up against all the other hotpot choices in Quincy. Their ala carte menu is just as satisfying. We also enjoy a frozen smoothy to go with dinner. My favorite is banana avocado or red bean. There are ample free apps that come with AYCE hotpot. My favorites are fried oysters and coconut shrimp. From there is ordering from a huge variety of meats, vegetables, and other hot pot fixings. Love their hand made dragon fruit shrimp paste and giant clams. But for my family, it is really always all about the choice beef - fat cow. I never leave hungry. There's nothing like the taste of the unique broth resulting in all of the foods you cook in the hotpot. I love to enjoy a bowl of the broth at the end of the meal. The kids enjoy the included ice cream.

Though not a Thai restaurant, their Tom Yum noodle soup is just the best. They let you choose the type of noodle you want which is really nice if you want to customize and have a preference for noodles. Other favorites I recommend from the menu are the fried oysters and the green tea smoothie. Wish I could recommend more since it's such a big menu but I keep sticking to the same things so I can't personally speak to them. Others have tried the rice dishes etc and liked them a lot as well so I really don't think you can go wrong.

We got fried milk for fun because it's not commonly available at many Cantonese restaurants especially without preordering. It was more of a fun dish to eat. It tasted a bit like coconut pudding lol. The skin was a bit thick but at least it wasn't too oily. Also it was a huge size for the price $13.85. We asked for an off menu soup. We wanted something with tofu and veggies and meat. It wasn't available on the menu but they were able to put an order for it via their ipad. It came out great, comforting and full of natural sweetness. We saw almost every table ordering their lobster deal - two for $30.85. They said how it's the smaller type and they offer larger sizes which are priced by pound. We decided to get the larger ones for the sake of having more meat to eat. When it came out, it was smaller than expected but we didn't say much. Later on, the boss came proactively came up to us telling us that they changed our bill to charge us the deal price because the "large" lobster ran small. Garlic sauteed surf clam was the table favorite. The garlic sauce (note not goopy or watery) was soooo good, full of umami with both fresh and fried garlic. It actually tasted so good we didn't want to finish it so we can take it home for another meal. Clams with black bean sauce was alright. Their black bean sauce isn't exciting, so we might not get it next time. Deep fried ribs with garlic wasn't as good. Maybe they're just better at cooking seafood. The garlic doesn't taste as good as the surf clam one either.

Most Chinese restaurants are booked out on a big holiday. We had to scramble to find a new place. The food is inconsistent. Sometimes its amazing, sometimes its bad. Depends on the chef working. We are no longer a customer.

Looking for something to eat after landing at BOS airport, my husband and I decided to explore Chinatown. Figured we could do some dim sum for a late breakfast, early lunch (the time was a little after 10:35 am). Found this of one of a few places to have dim sum, we decided to come here since we weren't too far from it on foot. When we walked in, I let the employee know that we are a party of 2. Because this is a smaller restaurant, we were sat at a large round communal table. I am definite not a fan of this style of seating but it's fine (although we had walked passed another dim sum restaurant that was fancier that did not have tables like that and saw that 2 people were just sat at a table by themselves and wished we had gone to that restaurant instead. But didn't see this restaurant until after we had already had our meal). After looking over the menu, we ended up getting: Chicken Feet, $6.99 prior to tax- My husband got this for himself. I am not a big fan of chicken feet and only eat maybe 1 at most. But I wasn't really in the mood to eat it. But he enjoyed it. Choy Shum, $11.95 prior to tax- I love to have vegetables at every meal, when possible. So we ordered these vegetables, which were nice and tender and they were nice. I do like that the oyster sauce wasn't as heavily drizzled on top, which was nice. Shrimp Rice Noodle, $6.99 prior to tax- This came in an order of 3. These were good but standard. Pork Siu Mai, $6.99 prior to tax- I thought these tasted okay, just a little oily. Tea, $1.25 per person- You are charged this fee per person, regardless if you drink tea or not. --------------------------------- (Total= $37.90 after tax, prior to tip) Please note that to order, you just mark what items you want on a paper menu and then the food items will be brought out to you. This is supposed to be the fresher way of food items, since the idea is that it is made to order instead of staying inside a cart that may end up getting dry as it gets pushed around the restaurant. This place supposedly takes credit card, as there was a visa logo sticker in their entrance window. But when asked the employee who gave us the bill if they take credit card, she told us that cash is preferred (which is funny because this one Caucasian family sitting at our table looked a little freaked out because I think they were planning on paying with credit card). My husband ended up paying with two twenty dollar bills. The employee was just standing right next to my husband and asked if we need change. My husband said no (my husband was planning on leaving additional tip on the table before leaving). She then pointed to the bottom of the bill of the suggested tip and seemed rather pushy and insistent that we leave a tip (well a higher tip). So my husband (although feeling awkward), pulled out a few more dollars and gave it to her. She seemed satisfied and then walked away. I have never gone to any dim sum restaurant where tip was pushed upon and that a server would be so pushy and aggressive about it. I have also read from a few other Yelp members that have also experienced the same thing on their dining experience. It is a good thing I don't live in Boston because I would never come back to this restaurant if I did.
