Not so great lately.
My husband and I have eaten dim sum all over the globe and are frequent travelers to Chinatown in NYC. We have always been big fans of the China Pearl in Boston and I agree with all the reviews in that it's a great experience and authentic dim sum with the fun of the hustle and bustle, but the quality and selection of food is definitely not what it was even a couple years ago. If you're with a big group, especially with those who haven't had a lot of dim sum experience, then I would definitely recommend the China Pearl (their staff is super busy on weekends so be prepared to have to hunt them down for drinks, water refills, etc). But if you are real dim sum aficionados and don't mind ordering dim sum from a menu as opposed to selecting it off of a cart, you may want to search out some place else once you have given the China Pearl a try.

Best Authentic Dim Sum in Chinatown
I've had dim sum many times and I love China Pearl. It's priced well, the food is good, the service can be a bit sparse during busy times (but that feels even more authentic in a weird way) and its just good overall. Definitely recommended. Go on Sunday around 10-11am.

China Pearl is the real deal!!!!!!!!!!
I have been going to this resturant for dim sum for about five years- it is GREAT- everyone I bring or send just loves it. The dim sum is fun with the servers coming around with their carts loaded with all tyoes of delicious morsels - the price is extremely reasonable -you can't go wrong

Superb dim sum
A long wait in a long,crowded hallway - and it's worth it. It's the real mccoy. In a noisy, crowded enormous room an endless succesion of waiters trundle carts of goodies by for your perusal. It's all great and inexpensive.
