Absolutely love this place. Asian Pearl Seafood Restaurant nails that perfect blend of big portions, great pricing, and fresh, flavorful cooking. It really feels like a classic 大排档 (dai pai dong) experience — casual, lively, and packed with

I was skeptical based on the reviews but I took a chance and it was worth it. The food is really good! Some of the best beef chow fun I have ever had. The waiter was really funny and had good service.

There is a HUGE TV in the restaurant. It is bigger than my house. They should do something more with it rather than playing soccer games.

Unfortunately I was not offered a free knuckle sandwich, but I did receive a complimentary red bean dessert that was very delicious.

10/10 recommend.

Dimsum was okay. Service could be better. The wait staff does not check in on you. You have to actively call for assistance.

We’ve dined at Asian Pearl three times. On two separate occasions, we were served spoiled food — unmistakably off in taste and smell.

This isn’t just poor service; it’s a serious food safety issue. Whether due to improper storage, expired ingredients, or negligence, it’s unacceptable and potentially dangerous.

We gave them the benefit of the doubt, but after repeated incidents, we’ve lost all trust. I strongly urge others to be cautious.

I brought 12 of my coworkers here today for lunch and got seated immediately. The service was really dang good! The waiters/waitresses checked on us frequently and also kept our waters filled. The food was also spot on! The xiu mai and har gow and baked bbq pork buns were the crowd favorites! They did awesome and can't wait to come back again with more coworkers :)

Absolutely love this place. Asian Pearl Seafood Restaurant nails that perfect blend of big portions, great pricing, and fresh, flavorful cooking. It really feels like a classic 大排档 (dai pai dong) experience — casual, lively, and packed with bold Cantonese flavors.

The seafood is fresh and cooked just right — nothing overdone, and everything tastes like it came straight from the tank. From clams in black bean sauce to salt and pepper crab, you’re getting solid execution and quality without the premium markup you’d expect elsewhere.

What makes it even better is the service — quick, friendly, and on top of everything, even when it gets busy. Dishes come out hot and fast, and the team is always accommodating with special requests or adjustments.

If you’re looking for no-frills, high-reward Chinese seafood with that old-school street food energy, this is the spot. Whether you’re dining in with family or doing a big group dinner, Asian Pearl delivers every time.

The dining experience at this restaurant was disappointing. The food was served very slowly and the waiting time was much longer than expected. The taste of the food was also unsatisfactory, the seasoning was bland and the ingredients were not fresh. It is not worth visiting again.

Food was good, but the decor was old and not very well maintained. For your immediate family it’s ok, but don’t bring any guests you want to impress.

Good Cantonese food . food $ Depend on what you order.

Been coming here for years. Service is just ok. Food is good, except 清汤牛腩, soup was too salty with too much pepper and beef was not chewable at all.

Food was delicious, perfectly cooked and seasoned. Service was above and beyond. Just be careful when choosing your seafood: some of the fish in the tanks are obviously no longer alive

Rita Rodriguez

Excellent dim sum, no carts but attractive menu and fast service.

Went for dim sum and fortunately we went early as the line when we left was long!!!

The service is efficient. No one really smiles but also no one is rude.

The food seems hit and miss. Some dishes are tasty and one was so bad we actually returned it. They let us return it with explanation no problem. That was much appreciated.

The restaurant is older but functional. It is located within the mall. There is plenty of parking to be had.
