Best WLM Reviews
Came here on a Wednesday night. I hadn't been here in like 10 years. Prices are pretty decent considering serving sizes (which are pretty decent). Apparently they have really good roasted squab here, which my grandparents like, but I personally didn't try it. The roast duck was good. Green beans with xo sauce and roast pork, chow mein had good wok hay. Overall was pleasantly surprised. It's a little run down. And it was like 79° in there. Service is good though. They even offered to switch out plates on a normal meal. No soup or dessert included if ordering for the normal menu.
05.01.24 11:30am On the way to South Lake Tahoe we stopped by for lunch at this awesome restaurant find! It's definitely more of a Dim Sum place for lunch as the HUGE restaurant's packed (all Chinese) patrons were mostly eating/choosing dim sum from the ladies serving them in the rolling carts.
We had 2x Mongolian Beef dishes + Beef with String Beans plus we requested this dish to be made with the addition of black bean sauce (mom's fave) and which they made perfectly! We also ordered the Seafood & Chive Dim Sum in Egg Wrapper ($7.19=4ct=large, super filled w.plump shrimp=super delicious!) & beef tendon in broth (this was good but we probably wouldn't order it again due to wanting to eat all of their tastier dishes).
Hot Tea was fresh and delicious too, came out in a clean large silver pot!
All food was exceptionally delicious, clean, fresh, hot, very low oil, not salty, in fact perfectly salted, just a perfect restaurant, though they were PACKED on a Wednesday and so service could use some help though they were quite friendly.
Mom asked how long the restaurant has been here and the gentleman in front said 11 years. Mom wishes this restaurant was in San Jose :(. We will be back!!!
05.03.24 Dined here again, ordered same items plus 2x orders of the seafood & chive dim sum & 2x orders of the shrimp & chives dim sum = dim sum is exceptional! We love the food here!
I had tea lunch with a friend at the Asian Pearl. It is 11am - 230pm. Stockton blvd. near 65th Street.
We were not asked what tea we wanted. We were served jasmine. It was fine, although there is usually a choice: black, green, mum, jasmine, etc.
The dim sum was good. We ordered a variety and ended with egg custards for dessert. I took photos for your perusal.
Tea lunch is usually for socializing or business, with slow eating and lots of talking!???? Lunch at the Asian Pearl was authentic, tasty, and reasonably priced.$$
My friend was not Asian, and I would have liked to try the chicken feet(brown),
seaweed, jellyfish, or pork belly.???? It sounds exotic. Most people would like the neutral flavor and the different textures. However, he was able to try some different textured tofu skin, and a variety of different flavors. The egg custards were light flakey and to die for (a great dessert)! Mango pudding or red bean sticky balls could also be a good choices. We did not try those desserts today????.
The entry is flat for wheelchair or baby carriage access. There is plenty of free parking.
The restaurant can accommodate lots of people!
This restaurant was unfairly given a 3 1/2 star rating on Yelp. It is serving authentic chinese food (not americanized) in Sacramento's little Saigon area. Unfortunately, it is a drive from the north area. Yu Huang in Natomas is probably a bit closer, for those in north Sacramento.
*Check out the photos. We had left overs to take home.
I've been here several times already, and I like their dimsum buffet lunch and regular menu at dinner both. This place is huge, good for birthday or get together party. I wish I could name all the dimsums, but can't ???? We always get Shui mai, Scallop dumplings, Har gow tho. For dinner, Pecking duck was okay, and their fried rice was good!
Asian Pearl Restaurant is one of the biggest Chinese restaurants in the Sacramento area. I am sure most of the Chinese and Vietnamese will have their meals here at least a few times, either dim sum brunch, dinner, or attend banquet parties.
I have attended banquet dinners at Asian Pearl a few times. It was pretty good compared to other places in Sacramento. The dinners are excellent too. However, dim sum is getting worse like most Chinese restaurants in the Sacramento area. That is a bummer. I love dim sum brunch on the weekends!
The service at Asian Pearl is still outstanding! The waitpersons are very attentive. They’ll pick up the empty plates and refill the tea and water. Come back to check if you want anything else at a regular time.
The dining room is a little dated, but it is very clean and comfortable. The parking lot is jam packed on the weekend morning to about 1-2 pm. Otherwise, there is no problem with parking.
I arrived at 11 right after they open . EveryThing is ready . I love their dim sum it's old school and tastes is good , I recommend their tarp bread bun , and steam sea bass it was with rice or porridge. Not recommended beef meat ball tho .
Excellent Dim Sum, one of the better places I've been. Pushcarts are abundant but if you need a particular item, just ask and someone will bring it. All the Dim Dum staples are here: chicken feet, shumai, hargow, soup dumplings & taro puffs are particularly good. My favorites were the pork steamed buns and egg custard buns.
I came here January 2nd, Monday, around 11:30am.
The service was bad, they never came to refill our water or tea. We had to wait over 20-30 mins to actually get food(dim sum). They had more carts with bread and desserts going around.
We spent too much time waiting, which I really disliked. It wasn’t that busy yet when we were there. We were sitting in the middle of the room, I’m not sure if they had any effect of getting the food faster.
This was my second time here and probably the worst experience I had. When they first opened, I had a great experience with getting the food faster and it tasting great.
This time around, everything was just bad.
I Would also like to mention that the price is pretty high for dim sum.
They really need to work on better service and consistency for what people pay here.
