We had an enjoyable time at The Pearl. We went to this establishment first wanting to try ramen but found that The Pearls menu looked for appealing, specially because of the dim sum. We ordered a wide variety of the dim sum. What we enjoyed the most were the beef balls, shrimp dumplings, steamed broccoli, and pot dumplings. I'd recommend this location and would visit again if I was in the area. read more

Food: 3/5 - we tried probably 10 different dim sum dishes. They were flavorful, good amount of food per dish, and came out steaming hot. Flavors were good, but standard in my eyes. Service: 3/5 - dim sum service is not known to be great, this was no different. At times felt like carts were coming out by fast enough and at others felt like carts kept coming. Ambiance: 4/5 - big interior with ample parking. There were push carts full of fresh, hot steamed deliciousness. It was loud as you can imagine. read more

We had a wonderful dim sum lunch today with excellent selections from every cart--fresh, hot, and perfectly steamed. The crispy pork belly was outstanding. Unfortunately, we were too busy enjoying the food to take photos. The new entrance and bar layout are beautifully designed, and the staff were warm, attentive, and professional. We look forward to returning. read more

THE BIG: Dim sum spot located in Grand Prarie! Quite big interior with push around carts. Plenty of parking in the lot outside. THE BLACK AND WHITE: I found it funny that this asian restaurant is located in the Asian Time Square Shopping Center. There's some good asian spots in the shopping center all jokes aside. I came here with the wife and a friend to get some dim sum after watching the Texas Rangers game the night before. We didn't want to travel to carrolton and was surprised there's some asian spots down here. Carts were pushed around which was a nice homage to the traditional way of serving dim sum. We got the usuals, har gow, shu mai, cheong fun, sesame balls, broccolini, tofu hua. All were alright flavors. I judge a place based on their cheong fun and this spot didn't do it justice. THE FINAL BAMBOO: Overall the cost for the dim sum that we ordered for three people was around $65. Not bad pricing but the flavors just didn't hit it for me. read more

We came here again on a Thursday morning at 11:15am. They still had dim sum carts! We were the only seated party for a while. It was nice. It took awhile for someone to greet us this time but it's probably cause they just opened. We enjoyed some dim sum dishes. The footballs were on point and my favorite this time around. Texture and taste are everything. Shiu Mai is a staple. The ones that didn't hit for me were the crispy shrimp balls (served with sauce), tofu shrimp, shrimp wrapped in white opaque served in a steamer, crispy shrimp version, and the ban cuon shrimp. Ordered a couple extra dishes such as sup mang cua and the MIL wanted some crab fried rice. It's a big dish! But delicious. Had some crunchy parts in the rice ($80). Nice for the special occasion early Mother's Day celebration. We just got what we wanted. The grand total for everything was a little bit under $200. ~$50pp. read more

The Pearl - Crab fried rice - Dim Sum Near Me - Grand Prairie, Texas

My son chose this place for all of us to eat for lunch. They have large round tables with the classic Lazy Susan in the middle. Appetizers and dim sum comes around on carts and you can clearly make entire meals just from all of the different pieces. We chose a few pieces as an appetizer and then ordered three meals off of the menu for the five of us to share. Each meal came with a small bowl of white rice and was plenty for all of us. In fact, we had plenty to bring home as well. The service is great and took care of us. Making sure our drinks never emptied. Anything else that we needed was very quickly brought to us as well. A great experience and definitely a place that we will want to return back to. read more

Right now the restaurant is under construction so they have a lot going on. We were sat very quickly upon arrival but very close in proximity to others due to the construction. Still I was glad to see they had waiters with carts serving dim sum on a Sunday afternoon. Everything was delicious, I'll say dim sum can get pricey so if you're really hungry order something off the menu and get a full plate of food. We ordered combination noodles and the kids liked it. So did like 3 other tables after they saw us with noodles lol they have a great event venue space for weddings and special events. Check it out! read more

The staff was friendly and attentive. We chose items from the dim sum cart that the ladies brought to us. We got sticky rice, har gow, shumai, tripe, shrimp ball, Chinese broccoli, and shrimp roll.

I really want to give this establishment some high praise, but honestly, it was somewhat lackluster. We ordered a fair variety of dim sum dishes, and nothing really stood out. To be fair we came on a weekday, so it was pretty empty, with maybe 3 other tables taken around us. Dallas does have some top tier Korean foods, but Chinese needs some work. Everything was either too salty or bland read more

The Pearl - Dim Sum Near Me - Grand Prairie, Texas

went in on a Tuesday around noon; it wasn't busy at all. I thought the table cloth was a fluffy cloth; until I realized it was probably 60 plastic table cloths laid on top of each other (probably for easy clean up) The best thing was the chili oil on the table-it was actually spicy! The dim sum was alright, I'm only comparing it to PHL/NY dim sum. I was excited for the chicken feet but it wasn't that great--Good, but I've had better. The shumai were big though. $6.50 for 4 big pieces. The tripe was good, I just wished it was cut smaller/thinner. 9 large size dishes for $64 Not something I would put on my must eat dim sum in DFW, but would go if it was the only place available. read more

I was in a wedding over the weekend and my friend insisted on taking the Bridal party to The Pearl. Thank God she did that. I had such a nice time. The service was pretty good and the atmosphere was upscale. The Pearl is located in GP. In a modern shopping mall strip called Asia Times Square. Our waitress brought out a 7 course meal. Starting with a flavorful soup. Our Waitress brought a large bowl out and poured it in to smaller bowls. I love the Asian hospitality. Next, we had Egg Rolls. They were large and crispy and were popular at our table. We also had Beef Broccoli, the Beef was tender and thin. We had rice but, it seemed watery? We had over sized Fried Shrimp. It was extra crispy with a Cheese filling. Sweet and Sour Pineapple Fish was served and that was my favorite! The Fried Fish was a good size and it was crispy with a sweet sauce. It was topped with Red and Green Peppers. We finished our meal with some Sweet Mango and Watermelon. It's very quiet in there despite being surrounded by large families. Restrooms are clean. Theres a Ballroom/lounge next store too. As you can see, they have a great Hong Kong Style menu. Great Asian Hospitality and a Ballroom next store. You can come here to eat or you can book your wedding party here either way, you will get a taste of Asia. read more

A solid place for dim sum and family style meals. I highly encourage everyone to be seated in the main dining room because if you're seating outside you will not get any carts coming your way and the service is definitely lacking. Sit inside if you want better service and the dim sum carts to actually pass you. The fried rice and dim sum offerings are definitely delicious and the restaurant itself is very spacious. We definitely enjoy eating here as a family. read more

Was in the area about three weeks ago. Decided to stop by for some lunch before heading to a wedding reception at night on a Saturday. Located in the Asia Times Square in Grand Prairie. Shared parking lot with nearby businesses. To our surprise they were serving dim sum at 3:30pm. Usually dim sum is served during morning hours only. But that all worked out in our favor! Haha. It was a medium-large sized space with a bar too. Service was fast and friendly. The staff would be rolling the food carts around and asked showed us what are options were. Each dish come Sun about 2-4 pieces. The size portions were big and they were all delicious! I read more

Every time I visit The Pearl, the food gets better and better. The dim sum on the weekend is pretty decent and portions are pretty big. My favorites are the Xiu Mai and the shrimp rice noodle. The ha khảo is good but the wrapper always falls off the filling. I also love getting their thousand egg rice porridge. The dinner menu here is also pretty decent depending on what you order (I would stick to the less American dishes on the menu). Be aware though, the food here is kind of bland so you definitely need extra soy sauce. Service is average. The restaurant itself is clean and new looking. Good spot to try out in Grand Prairie. read more

The Pearl is usually my go-to place for dim sum on this side of town (middle DFW) but when I went on Saturday, it did not hit like it usually does. Service was good but the first round of food we got - everything was room temperature instead of hot. And the selections just didn't taste as good as they used to :( read more

The Pearl - Dim Sum Near Me - Grand Prairie, Texas

I am not from the DFW area, but from what I've have heard, Arlington doesn't really have a dim sum scene. This restaurant was a popular choice online. Unfortunately, this dim sum at The Pearl is not good, and I would not recommend fulfilling your cravings here. On the plus side, the servers are very friendly and gave service with a smile. I ordered my favorite items, and honestly, I didn't like most of them. The only items that were just ok were the cha siu bao (steamed BBQ pork buns) and the siu mai. The steamed pork spare ribs were bland and dry. They tasted like they were just boiled in water with no flavor at all. The lo mai gai (sticky rice wrapped in lotus leaf) was so dense, and there was very little filling. The meat inside was dry. I expect a satisfying plump bite of shrimp when I eat har gow; their har gow does not deliver. The wrapping was thick, dry, and the filling was scarce. The flavor of the steamed beef tripe with ginger and scallion was decent, but the texture was too soft and mushy. The soy sauce for the shrimp cheung fun was too salty, though the rolls themselves had a good texture and the shrimp was good. Their bathrooms are not well maintained. They literally can't be bothered to put the paper towels or TP into the dispensers. They leave the paper on top of the dispensers or on the wet counter which is not sanitary. read more

Peking Duck. The combination fried rice. The pepper steak. Super delicious Do the à la cart. It will be cheaper

Great people and great customers services! Friendly service and workers The restaurant is absolutely clean and friendly families!

Whenever I crave for dimsum I go to The Pearl. I've been craving for a specific dish which is the salted egg yolk baked bun, they didn't have the baked version but they did have the steamed one and it was still really good. I also recommend their pork siomai, shrimp hakaw, steamed pork ribs, pork barbecue bun, shrimp balls, roast crispy pork, pineapple bun and sesame balls. Service is always great. It gets pretty busy so get there early. It does add up, for two people you can spend over $80 not including tip. read more

We had dim sum there. The food was mediocre, several items including the pork spring rolls were straight up cold and everything else was lukewarm. The carts didn't come by often enough and there was not a large selection. Could not recommend. read more

Located inside the Asian Time Square plaza in Grand Prairie, my family and I were quite excited to find a dim sum place with pushcarts. However, we were already disappointed in the first few moments we sat down. The waiters and waitresses were very attentive and kind but were quite clumsy with our dishes. One burnt their hand while handling our sticky rice dish, and the food actually toppled into the cart water used to keep the dishes warm. Of the many working that day, only two spoke Chinese, and the rest required assistance in identifying the names of dishes when we'd asked. We were understanding as they were likely inexperienced staff members, but this was an important aspect of improvement we'd like to see. However, the food tasted lackluster in general. The chicken sticky rice we were served was not 糯米鸡 but rather 荷叶饭, which are in essence two unique dishes that look similar, but taste very different. (This was probably only an issue due to the difficulties of translating what we wanted into English, and led to minor misunderstandings). Still, we found that the rice was dry/not at all sticky enough. Another example is the 肠粉 changfen, where the 肠粉皮 skin was rough and made much too thick. If made well, the skin is usually thin, smooth, and translucent to the point you can see the fillings inside. Lastly, they had a very limited selection of teas (no 寿眉 white tea, which most dimsum places should have, but we had to settle for 茉莉 jasmine). This wouldn't have been as much of a problem if they didn't refill us our pot with the wrong type of tea the second time around and charged us five times for 5 cups (1 per person). Overall, we felt that the quality of food and service we got was not worth it. Some would exaggerate and claim this was a disastrous experience, but I felt that the waiters and waitresses were putting in a lot of effort to compensate - which is why my rating is ultimately 2*. read more

Went here on a Saturday for dinner. Excited for dim sum & there were many options for entrées overall. There were a few of us with a variety of dietary needs such as shrimp allergies, vegetarians, etc. We haven't been here before & the lady who took or order was nice & took the time to explain the portion sizes for several items. Dim sum wise my favorite was the shrimp & pork shumai & pork buns. The beef chow fun was really good! We did order soup dumplings which were a little dry (my cousin had them here before so it might've been an off day) & the broth in the wonton soup could've used a little more salt. In regards to the soup, I do like things a bit more salty so it might be a personal presence... my family raved about it. This is a review of course so I want to be honest, but know everything else was good! The restaurant is nice, with soft lighting which is nice because it's not super bright but not dark... sometimes I feel that's an issue with an ambiance. I really want to comment the staff in their service, they were also quick & food came out fast but it didn't compromise quality. The restaurant is also clean, including the restrooms. I feel like I must always point these things out, when you are busy & have all this traffic flow AND you maintain the cleanliness of a restaurant that's a big plus. Give them a try, for sure you will enjoy it! read more

The pearls dim sum has gotten really delicious! Everything was plump with lots of protein! Steamed to perfection and loads of flavor! They have lots of new additions that were eye catching while the carts were rolling around. Most that you don't ever see in most dim sum restaurants! Service is really great and attentive. The pearl was beautifully built out with a tea room for private reservations if you ever need a bigger event their ballroom can be turned into anything you can think or imagine that can host loads of people! Nothing beats a busy dim sum restaurant because it keeps the food on the carts fresh so come check out the Pearl and let's keep them busy!!! read more

We were craving dim sum for lunch and found The Pearl. It is conveniently located where parking was sufficient. We waited to be seated since there is a lunch crowd, but wait was not bad at all. We had hargao, pork siumai, bean curd, beef tendon, Machang, and chicken feet. Our food was hot, and everything was delicious. I felt like the Machang needed more filling but the rice was nicely cooked and not mushy. Service was also good, considering they were so busy. I recommend this place for your dim sum cravings! read more

This place is overrated. We came for dinner around 5pm on a Thursday night. Ordered dim sum off the menu assuming it was made fresh, definitely not the case. The baked BBQ buns were not even heated, it was cold. The shrimp/pork shu mai had a weird texture, the pork inside was mushy, and the sesame balls were also cold. It was very disappointing. read more

Ordered two soup dumplings that were not part of the dim sum food carts. The dumplings did not have any soup so asked to confirm if they were soup dumplings. The chef came out and said "it is very difficult to keep soup inside and some times it gets absorbed." read more

Very nice place to celebrate events. Menu is extensive and it is in English as well. They offer dim sum and many shareable plates. They are super quick in serving our party of 13. They have waters, sodas, alcohol, beer and many teas. It's located in a shopping mall that also has many dessert areas to go to after dinner here. Must try! read more

What happened to this place? Came in on Saturday for an early dinner. Saw that there was a wedding reception being set up in the ballroom so I was worried that service may be slow for regular dining. I was correct but felt we were ignored even more so than the other diners seated in the middle of the restaurant. Waters weren't refilled and dishes weren't cleared away. The food was sadly disappointing. We enjoyed the mushroom and snow pea leaves dish the most. The roast duck had no flavor. I actually enjoyed the bbq pork more which never happens. The beef chow fun was decent but the orange beef was horrible. So much that we didn't even pack it to go. It tasted very generic. I did like that you can order dim sum off the menu after 3:00 pm which is when their cart service ends. There was a dim sum item that we were told wasn't available during our meal that wasn't taken off the check. Couldn't find anyone to correct it. A very unpleasant dining experience and unfortunately it was a dinner for a future bride to determine if she wanted her wedding reception to be held here. I was disappointed for her because past experiences have been great but that possibly under different management. read more

Excellent food and great service. Looking forward to coming back soon for more great food.

Traveling the country in search of dim sum restaurants, I was excited to try a place in the Dallas area. Looking at the different options, this restaurant seemed like one of the most authentic options. We came on a Saturday night, not knowing it was during the lunar new year festival, so parking was a bit difficult. The restaurant was less than half full and dishes came out quickly. The highlights were the har gow, which had large pieces of succulent shrimp, and the congee, which was incredibly flavorful. The rest of the dim sum was also excellent and authentic. Overall an excellent choice for authentic dim sum and would recommended getting the har gow, one of the best I've had in the country. read more

My husband and I took our mom for Mother's Day dinner on May 11, 2025. While washing my hands after using the restroom, one of the waitresses with very curly hair came in, used the restroom, and left the restroom without washing her hands. Checking around inside the restroom, I don't see any signs reminding the workers to wash their hands before returning to work. I was so shocked, I finished washing my hands to go out and report to another waitress. The waitress who heard my reports stopped a man - I guess he is the restaurant Manager and reported to him. He asked me who I saw didn't wash their hands. I didn't see her at that moment I talked to him, but I saw her walk inside the restaurant around the kitchen and staff area. My biggest concern and worry is: how many of the Pearl Restaurant staff, waiters, waitresses, kitchen helpers, or even chefs didn't care to wash their hands after using the restroom? Were the foods that we just ate clean? And many times we ate at The Pearl Restaurant before, too. We didn't post our review, but the next day, we sent an email to customer service and would like to see how the Pear Restaurant Manager could let us know the ways the team will be improved. Unfortunately, none of the words responded to me after patiently waiting. So disappointed. read more
