Hong Kong Pearl Seafood Restaurant

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Pleasantly Surprised and Truly Satisfied! We visited Hong Kong Pearl Seafood Restaurant from Upstate NY and Pennsylvania to meet up with family who dines here often — and we were pleasantly surprised! The food was authentic Cantonese style and absolutely delicious. Because they knew my brother, the staff was genuinely happy to see him and it showed — every dish came out fresh, hot and perfectly cooked. You could taste the care in every bite. We’re part Cantonese (from Chinatown, NYC), so we understand what to expect from true Cantonese server energy, lol and this place definitely lived up to it. It was like old school Chinese/dim sum places in NY. Definitely made me feel at home. There were 15 of us, and we ordered a generous amount — dim sum, soups, and a wide variety of dis

We’ve eaten at this restaurant for dim sum many many times. This is our first time trying dinner. It was a smaller crowd. They only had 2 waiters. The dinner menu was extensive. Over it wasn’t great Chinese food but it wasn’t bad Chinese food either. East Pearl in Rockville is still hands down the best Chinese food Hong Kong style hands down . The salt factor was lacking in all the food but that’s not a bad thing on some dishes. The price is probably one of the lowest of all the Chinese restaurants in the area and it was big portions. Overall, I would eat again if I’m craving for Chinese food. This restaurant is always forgettable because you have Eden Center across the street with multiple Vietnamese, Korean and Thai options .

This used to be my go to Dim Sum restaurant, I haven’t been in over a year at least but I was sooo disappointed this afternoon. They weren’t doing regular dim sum service, we had to chose our items from a sheet and they were brought out as they were ready. We were brought a basically room temperature tea pot and had to ask for a hot one. When the waitress reviewed my selections she asked me “are you sure you want chicken feet?”… why would I have selected that if I didn’t want it? I’m hoping that my race had nothing to do with that question. This put me off tremendously, she also lied to me twice about the soy sauce on the table being the sweet soy sauce until I finally tried it and told her (as I already knew) that it was not so she would bring me some. The food: Chive dumplings - ok, bu

Service was just okay not great, not terrible. The food, though, was disappointing. The dim sum siu mai tasted old, not fresh, and the ground pork had an off flavor. We also ordered the crab dish, which was $95 for what looked like barely a 1 lb crab. The seasoning was way over the top with salt and MSG, leaving us with that heavy, hard-to-digest “aftermath” where you’re chugging water the rest of the day. What really rubbed us the wrong way was the end the bill clearly said the tip was “suggested,” but the staff went out of their way to point at the tip amount and basically told us to pay it. That’s not how tipping works, the customer should decide based on food and service. Between the mediocre service, overpriced dishes, and heavy-handed flavors, this place was not worth it. We left f

The atmosphere, food, and employees were all amazing. Ordering dim sum can sometimes feel overwhelming... especially when you're feeding a group or dealing with the busy rush of carts weaving through the restaurant, but the staff here made everything easy. Everyone was calm, friendly, and helpful. The servers were great at making sure we got what we wanted, and when we passed on certain dishes, they were completely understanding. The food itself was excellent. The quality stood out, and even the chicken feet: always a hit-or-miss item...but here it was a hit here. Not gamey, not overly herby, just really well prepared. After things slowed down, a server came by to check our tea kettle and refilled it without us even asking. They didn't rush us or push for anything "to go," which we real
