Experiencing Dim Sum in Chinatown is a Boston “must,” and China Pearl is the classic gem. Climb the long staircase up to the mirrored dining hall, and you find yourself in a multi-level dining hall; room after room filled with mostly Asian American patrons, indulging in the Dim Sum, served off hot-food carts. The waiters speak limited English, but point to the delicacies and they’ll keep a running tab of your items. Dim Sum winners include Shiu Mai (pork dumplings) and scallion pancakes. The inexpensive but filling dishes make up for the battered décor, which has seen better days. If you really want to splurge for dinner, try a whole Peking Duck. China Pearl is one of the few restaurants in Boston which serves Dim Sum daily, not just on Sunday. Afterwards, stroll over to the nearby Boston Common or take in a show in the Theater District.
