I had a great takeout lunch. I had the hot and sour soup and Salt & Pepper Fish. This is the first time I have tried something from their Traditional Chinese menu and I definitely recommend it. I will be ordering off this menu going forward. The flavors are so much better than the American Chinese food. The Salt & Pepper Fish was very fresh and just the right spice, it included red and green peppers, jalapeno peppers, onions, and delicious lightly battered pieces of seasoned fish.

After looking at the menu at Landry's we drove up the street to the Black Pearl for some affordable seafood. The restaurant looks like every other Chinese restaurant on the outside, but the place is large and there does not seem to be a buffet anywhere in sight.
The most interesting thing about this place is the "Hot Pot" of spicy and mild soup that you construct at your table. The giant bowl is divided into two separate containers and you can place all your favorite seafood or meat into it along with veggies and tofu. The end result is a large meal for two that is exactly as you make it. I have not seen this before anywhere and it is worth the visit just to experience this. The atmosphere is quiet and the music is better that usual, a mix of Chinese pop and traditional...
The price was very reasonable and we will definitely come back for more.
Overall, a really unique and tasty meal!

Food below average. Beef was tough and a little too salty. Service average, but took forever to get check.

I took my GF here for dinner on a Sunday night with great hopes of finding another great Chinese restaurant near Homewood. While the menu is varied, the quality of the food is hit and miss. She had beef and broccoli which tasted a little off and like warm fried rice. I went with two items off the Dim Sum menu and they tasted good. The egg fried rice, on the other hand, was very salty. Our waitress was very helpful navigating through the menu and provided quality service.

We dined in.
Located in the Collonade, there were maybe 8 tables. Very clean with superb service. The menu had the standard items and then some very traditional Chinese items. We had happy family and a traditional pork dish that was spicy but very good. We will be back.
