  • This isn't Bright Pearl, sadly. I read the reviews here and wanted to give the new owners the benefit of the doubt, so went off for lunch today (Saturday). The carpet is gone and replaced with a laminate (cleaner looking!) floor, and tables and chairs have new covers. That's a plus. Unfortunately, today's lunch was a real disappointment based on the food and service we used to get at Bright Pearl (the former restaurant in the same location). Carts do come around frequently, but some keep the food out longer than they should and it's no longer hot. The positives: - har gow was perfect -- hot and very delicious - fried noodles -- not hot, but crispy and tasty - fried shrimp rolls -- same filling as the har gow, and consequently very nice. not hot, though. The okays: - shiu mai -- mouth-searing hot but not as good as what I had at Rol San 2 weeks ago - pork and greens dumplings -- nothing special, but tasty enough - steamed bbq pork buns -- my friend was pleased enough with these The disappointments: - fried squid tentacles -- at Bright Pearl, these were a highlight every time. Crispy, thin and savoury. Now, they're thick and chewy with breading that tastes like what goes on the KFC french fries - sticky rice in leaf -- barely lukewarm and fell apart upon opening. sausage slice inside was odd. the pork bits were tasty, though We put out an order for boiled pea shoot greens and no one ever picked it up. Soy sauce and hot sauce were not on the table and had to be asked for. At one point, the manager came over and took ours away, and we weren't done with it. The soy/vinegar sauce for the squid tentacles was much too vinegary. We look forward to trying different things when we do dim sum, but what came around was the same-old, and ordering from the menu wasn't working, so we gave up and as you can see, ate the safe stuff. A very expensive $39 lukewarm disappointment lunch for two and I won't go back unless I hear something has changed. So sad. (Would I have been happy with the same meal at $1.88/dish? My wallet would have, but I still wouldn't return.)
