"Food is great. Service is fast. We came before 11am so the restaurant is pretty much empty. We ordered dim sum, wonton soup, and duck and everything came out promptly."
If you're looking for solid dim sum in the DC area, Hong Kong Pearl Seafood Restaurant is a standout, particularly thanks to their fantastic and friendly service. After conducting some research, it’s clear that this spot consistently ranks high on dim sum lists, and their numerous positive Yelp reviews validate that they’re doing something right.
We arrived at 11:30 a.m. on a Saturday and had no trouble finding parking in their large lot, which is part of an Asian-focused strip mall with a nearby ShareTea. As expected from a popular dim sum restaurant, there were plenty of customers waiting, and the parking lot was full. Surprisingly, we only had to wait 15 minutes for our party of three, a...
Finally! A place offering all-day dim sum in the DMV area. I'm writing this review based on two visits: one during lunch two months ago and another last night for dinner.
At lunchtime, they employ a cart system, and the line can get quite long, so be prepared to wait a bit. The service can be a bit slow since it tends to be very busy during the midday rush. I noticed that sometimes the food is served cold because of how they operate the cart system. However, the quality of the dim sum was quite good. I particularly enjoyed the Chow Fun! The portion at lunch was small, but I assume it would be larger during dinner.
The sesame balls were a family favorite! The filling was sweet, but not ov...
Not a bad place. The food was good, but a little pricey in my opinion. The staff were nice, but as soon as I finished paying my bill (even though I was still drinking my tea), no one really paid any attention to me. The biggest turn off is that they were playing American Pop and soft Rock and Roll music. I would have much rather been hearing some soothing Oriental music or some Classical Orchestra music. That would have felt much more appropriate, and better. More private seating, such as some booths, and dimmer lighting would have made it feel more inviting, too. The tea was good, but there were too many tea leaves going into my tea instead of being filtered out. Otherwise, all was good.
Food is good, but the service is extremely rude, especially from those servers with the carts. They speak Cantonese, which I don't understand. When I tried to ask in Chinese, they got really mad, and it seems like they were saying: is this your first time eating dim sum? why it take so long to order? Then for another cart, I asked if she has shrimp dumplings, the server turned away right away, and complained: I only have what I said, don't ask me anything I didn't mention. This server wears green shirt and red hat. Going through others reviews, I feel really really sad when I noticed all mentioned good service come from American names. Fk this place.

SOMETHING HAS GONE WRONG. I don't know if it was COVID, or if there are new shortages of our favorite dishes, but our last visit was a shadow of the old days at this wonderful old restaurant. Gone are all the pork and duck and other meat dishes. Gone are all the succulent vegetables. The hanbau, the fruity desserts are replaced by eggy pastries. As a long time patron, I feel like I don't know this place any more. Everything that was delightful and different is no more, and everything left tastes the same, starchy with too much salt. I am searching for new alternatives now, somewhere I can bring my family and friends to enjoy.
First time here this past Saturday evening and it was great! We got a table for 8 right away?the restaurant is fairly huge and spacious. Staff are very friendly and attentive here. Food was delicious?top favorites were: Salt Pepper Whole Shrimp, Deep-Fried Bean Curd with Salt Pepper, Seafood Pan Fried Noodles and Stir Fried Snow Peas Leaves with Garlic. My family enjoyed the Seafood Chow Fun and Diced Beef Pan Fried French Style?however I was not a fan of seasoning
This is my go to dim-sum and dinner eatery . The food is flavorful and consistent. The staff is always friendly and the restaurant is clean and spacious. Dining in or taking out, the food is always delectable and hits the spot!
One of the few dimsum places in Northern Virginia. Saturday and Sunday morning are very busy from open until 2-3pm, so make sure to get there right when they open. Party of 3-5 get seated the quickly because that fit one table

One of the best Chinese dim sum restaurants around town. At least half of the dim sum options are good quality. Be sure to arrive early to avoid waiting in line for a long time to get a table.
