Pearl of Canton II — Restaurant in Hartford

I arrived on a Friday at lunch. There were several others seated in the moderate dining area. I was asked to sit where I liked and chose a nearby booth. I was given a dinner menu but that was replaced with a lunch menu when I asked about lunch specials. I was given a choice of soup, egg or spring roll and various entrees. I chose the exceptionally excellent Tom Yun soup, spring rolls and the stir fry noodles with beef. This also comes with your choice of hot or iced tea. I chose the hot tea and was brought a small pot and it was very good. There are several condiments available on the table but none were required for the food was well seasoned and balanced. The Tom Yun soup was complex and full of flavor. It has a big hit of heat from the chiles and fresh jalepeno swimming in the broth with subtle citrus undertones.

So the whole time eating I wondered how the kitchen situation was. Going to talk to wife into not going there again. unfortunately I can’t recommend the place. Seems like people have other views and maybe we just caught them on a bad day but bathroom situation, that’s all I gotta say. I wish I took some pictures but either take my word or go give the...

We ordered by phone for pickup. My protein combo fried noodles only had chicken no beef no shrimp. My husband didn't get his fried rice and our crispy pork spring rolls are extremely different. Not crispy at all !!!! We went back for the fried rice and to tell them we had wrong items. At that time 3 more people came In with wrong items. I questioned the crispy pork spring roll showing her and she said Yes that's fried pork! It's good try, she said. It looks like spam and it taste awful! We've tried so many times now and it seems they're just getting worse. She did comp.our dinner but we also did not get...
