New Asian Pearl Peninsula

I won’t come here again. Foods, services, atmosphere, etc what I paid not expected.
I left sadly.

Great atmosphere, and the best home made red hot sauce of this decade.

There are much better choices in the Millbrae area nowadays... Every time I come to this place I leave disappointed. The food has gotten worse and the prices have gone up.

Probably one of the best dim sum places in South San Francisco! We were there just before 10:30 in the morning on a Sunday and they had a line outside the restaurant. Service was good and excellent dim sum, I highly recommend this place if you're looking for authentic and freshly made dim sum!

The truffle Peking duck & squabs are to die for. Chrispy outside & juicy inside. Everything is tasty

Food was okay, but pricey.

Best traditional dim sum in the bay area. I especially like the siu mai and char siu bao. My wife is crazy for the rice porridge.

Years have passed. Ownership has changed several times. Asian Pearl has been down for several years. A couple of people told us that it has improved with a new chef, so we gave it a try. Overall I'd give the New Asian Pearl a C-. It's not a new, skilled chef. It's the same mediocre, uninspired old one. We started with baked char siu bao. They looked yummy! The bun was actually very good but the char siu in the filling was very poor quality. Not gone bad but old and flavorless. The only flavor in the filling tasted like it came directly from a jar. The siu mai tasted like it had been in a freezer for long, flavorless and clearly not fresh. We had a Singapore style fried noodle. Any decent Cantonese restaurant will kill this dish. The New Asian Pearl killed it but not in a good way. No wok hei. Zero. The pork was the same tired, old, tasteless pork used in the char siu bao. I have to be honest here and say that the shrimp was actually tasty. My wife shares that the curry flavor was off, as if it was from an expired lot of curry powder. The beef balls were actually quite good, fresh and tasty. The shrimp cham fun we didn't have, but it looked very good. The pan cooked turnip cake looked decent. The tea water could have been hotter. The tea itself was weak and probably the cheapest stuff the restaurant could buy. The service was acceptable ok. Cost. The noodle was more expensive than at Koi Palace and the dim sum was almost as expensive.

Will we go back? No, but, I think if you know what to order, you could get a fairly decent dim sum lunch at an acceptable okay price but bring your own tea.

I really like eating dim sum! since eating dimsum at New Asian restaurant! Now I really hate eating dim sum! Maybe it will take a long time before I dare to eat again!

This is the worst business ever. They have no care for service or the quality of food. Our order was 40 minutes late and the food was abysmal with mostly onion fillers for meat dishes. The worst Chinese food I have ever had. Go there if you aren’t worried about the hygiene issues or good food.

After our first 4 dishes came the other 2 took over 40 minutes. We asked to cancel them and they said no since they were almost out. They didn't come for another 10+ minutes.

The overall dining experience at this Chinese restaurant was fine; however, there was a setback when one dish was delayed, keeping us waiting for nearly fifty minutes. Despite the wait, the taste was satisfactory, and the remaining service was acceptable. It's advisable to make reservations in advance, especially during peak hours when the restaurant tends to be crowded.
