    We had an amazing time here. I probably should have reviewed this place months ago, but I'm just now getting to it. Every visit is excellent food, excellent service and amazing time with friends and family. The last couple of times, I just wanted to enjoy the moment so I forgot to take pictures......but I'm sure we will be back again. Pearl Bay is definitely an enhancement to the quality of living in Dublin. Everyone seeing this post......You guys should really try it. You won't be disappointed. Everything is cook to perfection. The flavor and texture is what will keep you wanting to go back for more.

    Speedy seating at 10:45am on a Sunday. There was a private room at the back for additional seating. I liked it since it was quieter. Service was quick. Food was still delicious especially the sesame rolls. The matcha custard filling buns were delicious. Parking was plentiful.

    Food is average for this type of restaurant. Price is definitely reasonable with higher end decor. For a weekday lunch, service is adequate but not exceptional. When we told them that there was a piece of broken clay in the shrimp dumpling, the waitress only offered to replace the dish with no apologies. Out of all the dim sums we ordered, there items were memorable: Black sesame roll, pan fried taro root cubes with XO sauce & roast duck. Others are average.

    For lunch this place is so packed with people. Get here early for Dim Sum or else you have to wait a long time. For dinner they have traditional dishes. Not going to lie, it's very expensive but ingredients are high quality. Fresh live seafood. Good portions. Very lively and lots of tables for big or small parties. Great service.

    Solid dim sum! They have a huge variety of dishes, including more unique ones that you wouldn't find at the standard dim sum place. Service is really nice & accommodating, but the food came out at kind of wack times. I'm going to attribute that to the fact that it was a holiday (Father's Day). Presentation of everything was lovely--from the place settings to the plating. A lot of cute little details! Would come again! Also our experience was super nice, as we had a large party and were somehow able to walk right in to a private room, with a TON of space (table and chair space alike).

    We went a little crazy with our brunch order last weekend because we showed up starving! But, it gave us a chance to try a lot of different dishes :) Not every dish we ordered was a hit unfortunately. Let me start with the highlights. House Special Clay Pot Fried Rice: This was my favorite dish of the meal. The rice was cooked to perfection, not too wet and not too dry. It was just right. For the greens, they seemed to use either Asparagus or Chinese Broccoli stems (chopped), though I couldn't quite tell which. They were generous with the seafood too. It came loaded with Shrimp, Crab Meat, and other seafood, and everything tasted delicious. I'd definitely order this again. Lobster E Noodles: I enjoyed this dish overall, especially the amount of lobster they included. They definitely didn't skimp on it. That said, the noodles were a little softer than I prefer and may have been slightly overcooked. At $56, it was also almost twice the price of the Clay Pot Fried Rice, which we enjoyed way much more. Because of that, I don't think this dish was worth the price. Honey Walnut Shrimp: This one was a bit of a disappointment. The shrimp wasn't as juicy as I expected, and the sauce just wasn't as tasty as some of the Honey Walnut Shrimp dishes I've had elsewhere. I'd skip this one next time. Steamed Dim Sum Variety: We tried several items, including Pork Shumai, Shrimp Dumplings, Noodle Rolls, and a few others. Overall, everything was very good. The Pork Shumai was probably my favorite of the bunch. It was steamed perfectly and delicious. Xiao Long Bao: This was very disappointing to me. The presentation was excellent, with each dumpling served in its own small ceramic spoon, which looked really nice and cute. However, I thought the dumpling skin was a bit thicker than what I'm used to. The service was good overall. The restaurant itself looked very chic, modern, and new. My only complaint is that the tables were placed a little too close together, which made it feel somewhat cramped when seated next to other patrons. Other than that, the staff were friendly and accommodating. Whenever we asked for things like Chili Oil, they were happy to bring it out quickly.

    Pearl Bay Manor is located in the Hacienda Crossings shopping center, occupying a space across from the Regal IMAX Theater. My buddy George F. and his wife invited Steve T., his wife, and I to a dim sum lunch on 10/16/2025. It was pretty busy when we walked in at around 12:30pm. The wait for a table was short. We were seated quickly at a large round table in front of the impressive live seafood tanks. The interior was very clean and nicely decorated. Aside from the aforementioned seafood tanks, the giant LED display in the back was also very eye-catching. George did most of the ordering and he got a plethora of items. Overall, I thought they were authentic and delicious. I especially loved the white pepper pork tripe, siu mai, steamed bean curd skin rolls, and pan-fried noodles with spareribs and bitter melon. They were definitely the standouts. The staff we encountered were friendly and helpful. Some of them were Cantonese speaking only. Based on this experience, I thought this place was solid. If you decide to visit, you can expect an authentic dim sum experience in a comfortable setting. 4 solid stars. BONUS MATERIAL: - Ample parking on site.

    Pearl Bay Manor served up a Chinese feast on a cloth-lined table and circular turntable for ease of passing food around family style. Every dish was excellent. Staff were helpful when I asked for vinegar and white pepper to supplement the soup. The space is wide and tall inside, so it's aptly named a manor.

    The food here is pretty good, even if it's 114 degrees outside. Right next to the theater, parking lot was quite packed. Food choices are good, although limited than their other locations. Much cleaner facility. Great place to chill and enjoy some delicious foods!

    Ordered like 10 dishes because I wanted to try this place and waited a long time. You have to wait close to the entrance to hear them because their speakers don't project outside. They will give away your table in a heartbeat so try to stay close. But they will also help you out and seat you next if they've given away your spot. All of the food I would say I've had better in Oakland or San Francisco. But it's not bad for where it's located. The salted egg yolk pumpkin didn't have that saltiness you crave. Taro puffs were not very savory or too much taro for the filling ratio. The water chestnut jello thing was sweet and crisp. I'd never had this before so it was a new experience and worth trying . The Xiao long bao Shanghai dumplings had too thick dough imo. Egg custard was so eggy I've never tasted one so egg forward I don't know what their recipe is but I'm not a fan.

    Don't come here during holidays. Their kitchen isn't capable of keeping up. They didn't take any reservations under 10 people. So we couldn't make any reservation. They had a line coming out the door before they opened. So by the time the first wave of people sat down the rest has to wait for the second wave. But the kitchen seemed to be overwhelmed with the orders and they weren't able to get the orders out. So the people just sat and sat and sat. Only about 4 tables were cleared out after 1hr and 15min. Go find another location for holidays or come and line up many hours before they opened.

    Came here during the week for a late dim sum lunch around 1:30. I was surprised how extensive and colorfully photographed every item was on their paper, self check menu. Loved that! I went through every section to see how much I wanted to eat and try so many things. Made a note to bring more people next time. Restaurant was open and spacious like ones you'd go to in HKG. Hot tea- 3.5/5 Very diluted. Leak proof pot. Shocker. Egg tart 4/5 - Filling was good. Crust was like a wife pastry sticking the roof of your mouth. Gai Lan 4/5 Piping hot like they nuked it warm. Fresh and crunchy stems Beef tripe 5/5 - Perfectly seasoned and tender. No weird aftertaste IYKYK. One of my favorite dishes Beef ball 4/5- Very tasty and tender. Loved the dried bean curd they steam it in. Fam doused in W sauce BBQ Pork Bun 3/5- piping hot fluffy bun but the flavor of the filling was...off. I never not finish but I left half on my plate Fried pork dumpling 3.5/5- Nice crunchy mochi texture. Cute pear shape. But...the thickness was a bit much. The filling would have been fine if I loved dried shrimp . There was waaaay too much dried shrimp flavor to my liking that we left 1/3 leftover. BBQ Pork Rice Roll- 4/5. Delicious! Good flavor and filling was different than the steam BBQ pork bun. Thank goodness. Sesame Roll- I haven't seen this on a menu since forever. Very nostalgic. Too bad it was sold out Siu Mai 4.5/5 The grand finally. I only ate half bc I was so stuffed by the time it arrived (last). Lots of shrimp vs pork. It needed a bit more...umph for me but DD and Hubs loved it. Piping hot they kept burning their mouths rather than waiting for it to cool down. Service was great. The last even helped us pack our leftovers. Restrooms were clean. Will definitely come back to try the other noodle dishes and even give their dinner a try too.

    Whole Roast Duck
    Claudia T.

    Don't buy roast duck to go if they cut it for you! If you have to order roast duck to go, buy it as a whole duck and do not let them cut it for you. I ordered a whole roast duck to go today at 5:05 p.m. and asked them to cut it in half, with each half packed in a separate box. What I received was definitely not a whole duck. One box looked like it was made up of leftover pieces from earlier in the day, while the other box looked slightly better. The total weight of both boxes combined was only 2 pounds. One box contained 17 pieces and the other 16 pieces, but one of the boxes clearly looked like they had taken random leftover pieces and tried to reassemble them to resemble half a duck. This was very disappointing and felt misleading. If you're ordering takeout, I strongly recommend asking for the duck to remain whole so you can be sure you're actually getting the entire duck you paid for.

Susie lives in the Bay Area and chose this restaurant. I was skeptical about keeping the cost low as we were having dim sum. I was afraid it would be outrageously expensive and not filling enough. She proved me wrong. Excluding the tea and other drinks it came to $30 per person and that included tax and tip. This was cheaper then the last banquet we had and I actually enjoyed most of the dishes here. The only dish I didn't have was the scallop and shrimp dumplings as the order came out with only 3 and there was 11 us at the table. I'm not sure how that was supposed to feed the table. We arrived at 11:10am and to ensure we weren't late. The parking lot was packed when we arrived. Saying that we only had to go up and down two isles to find a parking space. I have to add that the parking spaces were tight. We had the Honda Pilot and it barely fit in a space and that isn't the biggest car out there. We were told that our table was on the 2nd floor and to go to the side door. We walked around the side and found a door. There was not signage indicating it was part of the restaurant. The right side was locked, but the left side was unlocked. When we entered we were warmed with a sigh that said the floor was wet and to beware of slipping. They had a staircase to the left and a elevator to the right. That was a blessing, I know some of our party wouldn't have made it to the banquet with out the elevator. When we exited the elevator we were met by a staff member with their cart waiting to do downstairs. So the elevator serves guests and staff alike. When we got out of the elevator the staff member pointed us down the hall. We stopped at the bathroom on the way down the hall. Once we found the restaurant we were pointed to the back where we joined our party. We had 3 tables in the back which was nice. It beats being out in the open and disturbing everyone as we stood around chit chatted prior to being served. I felt bad for the table of 2 that were posted right next to the wall near our party. They just had a bad table. All the other tables upstairs were farther away and didn't feel like they were in our space. I have to add that the service was great. They kept coming to refill the waters and tea pot with tea, not just hot water. And we never felt rushed. We had a nice table on the edge of our tables agains the wall that we were able to hang our family tree. We are all 1st, 2nd and 3rd cousins and some of us have never met the others before so we really needed a family tree that color coded what generation you were. My favorite dish was the steamed sticky rice in Lotus root, next was the BBQ Pork Buns, third was the shrimp and pork dumplings. Though I don't recall seeing any shrimp in those dumplings.Thought they were big and meaty. My least favorite was the green onion pancake. It just wasn't fluffy and flakey. It was too dense and lacked flavor. And a little greasy. We had 12 dishes and were filled with some chow fun left over. The chow fun wasn't that great. It was filled with beef which was good, but it lacked sauce and the noodles weren't all that.

All very delicious! The only thing is that they can bit on the pricier side with $20 for the fried rice and $30 for the bbq plate. Overall, I thought grand cafe definitely scratched our itch for Cantonese style dining experience. It typically comes with great food, good service, and a bit of nostalgia from being from the Bay Area.

The food: Roast Duck - crispy skin, tender, good flavor, not too salty. A really good version. Dry Braised Green Beans with Minced Pork - solid, green beans still have some texture to them. Good amount of flavorful meaty bits. Beef Chow Fun - decent version, huge portion I really liked the duck here. Everything else was good. We didn't see anything unique on the menu, but just solid food.

    Came back recently to dine in as we were hungry for some delicious Cantonese-style food. We…read moretypically do takeout throughout the week especially when we're sick but decided to dine in! They have 2 televisions inside constantly playing bluey so your kids can chill out watching bluey while eating porridge. Love the great service they always provide and can't beat their portions also. Always love ordering the preserved egg and pork porridge with Chinese donuts on the side. They also have dim sum on the menu that's a bit pricier than what I'm used to, but convenient to have alongside your porridge and steamed rice rolls. Always a treat to visit!

Food Review: Black Bean Pork Ribs rice bowl ($12.50) had lots of pork ribs that were a bit tough. Flavor was fair but it was edible. 7.5/10 Shrimp rice Noodle roll ($9) were clearly frozen and freshly made. Too much noodle but decent shrmp. 7/10 Fried mini sesame balls ($6) were the best item. Tiny but, Hot and freshly fried. 9/10 Pork Liver congee ($9.25) was solid and edible but far from gourmet. 7.5/10 Boiled Chinese flowering Cabbage with soy sauce ($8.75) were over cooked but in ample quantity. 7.5/10 Overall - Good Food - Fair Decor - Good Service - Good Value - Very Good Would we come back - No
