China Pearl is one of Quincy’s favorite Dim Sum and Cantonese restaurants located where the International Buffet in the Kam Man Plaza formerly was. The dining room is cavernous with plenty of room for the steam carts to navigate. While there's a standard Cantonese menu of familiar dishes offering a breathtaking variety of Chinese delicacies, most diners come here for the high-quality dim sum, of which there are dozens of varieties. By offering authentic, Old World delicacies (periwinkles with a spicy black bean sauce, steamed chicken feet) and simple, tasty buns and dumplings (savory shrimp shumai, sweet barbecued pork buns), the kitchen keeps dim sum veterans happy while providing beginners with a wonderful introduction to this popular dining experience.
Weekend waits are a given for the suburban families and homesick college students who fill communal tables while larger groups usually get a table of their own. Harried servers are constantly in motion, pushing carts of dim sum past curious onlookers. Dim Sum is a very social activity best indulged by groups of 2 or more.
China Pearl also hosts events and offers catering for any special occasion.
All the flavor of China Pearl in Boston’s Chinatown is now offered in a convenient Quincy location.
