We wanted take out and his was within a few minutes of our hotel in Colonnade. This Asian cuisine was amazingly good...better than some of the best in our home town of Minneapolis! Tiny little restaurant that seemed to be doing only take-out that night,...but they put together an absolutely delicious! The portions are huge! We are still enjoying it three days later. We highly recommend this little neighborhood gem!More

There is only one location presently (Colonnade) with a few tables inside and out. We especially love the salt and pepper fried calamari. If you order it to go, they leave the container and the bag open so it will still be crisp when you...arrive home! That is precision to detail and customer service!More

Went for dim sum on a Wednesday night but they only serve it on Saturday and Sunday. So, we ordered from the menu. Everything we ordered was fabulous. My favorite had to be the peppered fried calamari. I am not sure I would have been...disappointed with anything on the menu. As dishes were coming out to other tables, we were being envious. We will definitely return for the dim sum as well trying out other menu items.More

This restaurant serves Dim Sum on Saturday and Sunday's. The food is served in steamer baskets from carts pushed around the restaurant by servers, who do a great job of describing the various items… always hot and delicious. Definitely always a treat. Restaurant seating is...large, no reservation necessary. Usually 2 people can eat until they're full for around $30.00More

Great place on weekends with their Dim Sum menu. Fresh steamed pork and beef and shrimp dumplings in an assortment of flavors and wrappers. Glad to find them, I search for dim sum in every city I go to.

I go here for lunch on a regular basis, sometimes twice a week and they are consistently delicious! I call my order in and it is ready for me when I get there. It is so fresh until it is still too hot to eat...even when I get back to work. Highly recommended!More

We are big fans of dim sum, having eaten it all over the U.S. over a period of at least 40 years. Until the arrival of Black Pearl. Birmingham has been a place where dim sum was either not available or not very good. We...have now been here twice and have been very pleased with both the selection and the quality of the dishes available...and the prices are modest as well.More

Over thirty friends gathered Sunday evening at the Black Pearl located just off Lakeshore Parkway. The menu was extensive including traditional items as well as Hot Pot cooking. While most items came out timely, a couple of items were late, but that may be expected...with such a large group. The soups were varied and tasty, the dumplings divine. Whether chicken, beef, pork, or seafood, each dish was served hot and flavorful. The hardest part was deciding which items to choose.More

Conviently located across the parking lot from our hotel, the Drury Inns and Suites, this restaurant did not disappoint us. Their menu is extensive with both Americanized and traditional dishes. We chose a serving of General Tso's Chicken with fried rice and it easily fed...the 2 of us. Their egg rolls, Hot/Sour and Egg Drop soups were delicious. And the waitstaff was friendly and helpful. You can't go wrong having a meal here.More
