NileGuide Expert Says:
Though it might have a straight-forward menu, this place really excels in its ambiance, where bright red walls, bumping music and comfy booths add to the experience
NileGuide Expert tip:
Hold an event here and you won't be disappointed - the catering menu is extensive, the drinks are poured freely and the music can be specially order
Description:
Specializing in dim sum dishes with a contemporary, pan-Asian flair, this sexy Gaslamp Quarter restaurant is decorated in hues of deep red and features stone and tile accents, a cool pebbled floor, some nice deep booths, and two private dining areas. At Red Pearl, you may see a kung fu flick on one of the flat screens over the bar while dining on your strawberry-cinnamon short ribs, duck lettuce wraps, or wok-fired Kobe beef with papaya and mint. For dessert, don't miss the airy andagi, the Japanese version of a donut hole. Red Pearl has an in-kitchen chef's table seating 4 to 12 people. Bottles of wine are half-price on Sunday; if you dine Tuesday through Sunday, bring your bill back on Monday and eat for half-off. Like any Chinese restaurant worth its noodles, Red Pearl also has takeout.

A young and friendly staff serving Americanized Chinese food (think P.F. changs) but in a smaller, hipper atmosphere. If you are looking for authentic Chinese food you are in the wrong...
