Red Pearl Restaurant

Nasty place to eat

This is our favorite oriental restaurant & also oriental market in Alabama.

Great food. Great service. Okay bathrooms. The booth seating feels a little unstable.

Some of the best Chinese in Birmingham. Our favorite approach is to not go at a peak time. If you do this, the service and food prep is fast and the dining area is quiet. Lovely environment, the lighting and decorations are very tasteful. We got the Homemade Pork Buns as an appetizer, they were delicious and authentic, slightly sweet fluffy buns with a savory and juicy stuffing. The Double Spicy Chicken is probably our favorite entree we've had so far, light and crispy breading, and a couple types of peppers. Awesome flavor. The spice went great with the Pork Buns. We also got Sauteed Sliced Pork Belly. It was really good too. Can't wait to come back and try more things on the menu.

Smell really bad inside. They guy at the front desk had an attitude of King.

General TSO's chicken was very good so were the egg rolls. Dumplings were not as great comparatively but considering the amount you get they are very good value.
