The golden days of Pearl Court as the grand palace of Chinese cuisine in East Chinatown have long passed. This place is a shell of its former self. Unless you're a die-hard and the restaurant holds a nostalgic spot in your heart, there is very little to recommend the food here. There is an early bird Dim Sum special prior to 11 am on weekdays, but the quality is often worse than the frozen kind. The regular menu is overpriced, unspectacular, and an insult to the working-class neighborhood that it serves.
