Golden Pearl Restaurant

The food was good. Service not so much, thire was 4 tables with 2 servers. The only time my server acknowledged me was to take my order and to bring the bill. First time at that restaurant, and I'm not going to be rushing back anytime soon.

Kick a** take out

Chow Mein
Won Ton Soup
BBQ Fried Rice

My all time favorite Chinese food restaurant by far! Been going for years 😁

Very plain, but cheap and good.

The Golden Pearl Restaurant is such a gem! The food is always delicious, quick, and very reasonably priced. My personal favorite is the wonton soup — it’s so flavorful and comforting without being overly salty or greasy.

We often come here for our family dinners, and the service is consistently fast and friendly. Our drinks are always topped up without even having to ask, and the staff are so polite and welcoming. I also love their combo meals for one — they’re loaded with generous portions, always enough for leftovers the next day!

Another big plus: no MSG added, which is a huge bonus for anyone who’s mindful about that. Highly recommend if you’re looking for tasty, satisfying food at a great price!

Ordered the dinner for three combo tonight. It’s the only Chinese food restaurant close enough to Ravenwoods in deep Cove North Vancouver. We usually prefer to order from the red door Or the red pepper Szechuan place on Lonsdale. I figured we would try to test these guys out. Big mistake.
We ordered the dinner for three which comes with chicken chow mein, chicken, fried rice, beef, and broccoli and sweet-and-sour pork along with three spring rolls.
The spring rolls were not cooked properly and Oversize, that could potentially be the problem why they were not cooked to perfection.
The beef and broccoli was absolutely amazing. Unfortunately that’s the only dish I can put a compliment towards.
The pork fried rice was very dry with very little flavour.
The sweet-and-sour pork had a bit of sauce on it, but the pork was so dry, even though it was early in the evening you think that it might’ve actually been Decent. It definitely wasn’t.
The chicken chow mein we received Had no sauce on it very blend No vegetables, only chicken and noodles.
When I called back, the lady suggested that I should’ve ordered a different style of chow mein, which would’ve had sauce and more vegetables in it
In my opinion, shouldn’t all chicken chow mein have vegetables and at least a little bit of sauce?
Not too sure what she was talking about because I have never experienced such a Plain chow mein in my life.
She asked me what she would like me to do about the order And I said sorry I’m not exactly sure about what you’re trying to ask me.

It felt like Care about what my complaint was about any of their food.
She could’ve maybe said hey, how would I give you guys a discount next time or can I deliver you something now on the house to make up for The expensive food that you paid for and are unhappy about.
Just a good suggestion as to not have high expectations for this restaurant if you order from them In the future.

We would also like to add to my review, I just spoke with the lady at the restaurant, To go over my food over once again to maybe get rid of the review to see if maybe they Would Offer me a refund. And I Would delete my review since it was so bad. And I’m a giving person and like to give companies a second chance, especially in this time of day.
She then explained to me that they were so busy before I came to pick up my order (which was at 8pm) And that they had such a huge rush before I walked in even though I ordered my food at 7:20 PM
I grabbed my food at exactly 8:22 And they had one couple in there sitting at a single table.
The entire restaurant was completely empty. So I guess when I walked in there at that time, the entire restaurant has left and the cooks were so tired that they had to serve us really shitty crappy end of the night food.
I’m so glad that on my bill of $57 that I tipped them $12 just because I felt bad for them.
I personally don’t want to discount I don’t wanna refund. I will never go back to that place ever again and I recommend all of the deep Cove people And Ravenwoods On the side of town to just take that extra 2 km and head to Lonsdale for Chinese food.
Amen

Tasty, big portions, great price, excellent service

You might think this is just another mall restaurant, but the food was delicious and very reasonably priced. Will definitely be back.

Reviews of Golden Pearl seem to be love it or hate it variety. After two recent lunchtime visits count me in the love it category. The food isn't great but the food comes out hot, in very generous quantities and IMO} good quality westernized Chinese food. Of note was the sweet and sour pork, which was crisp, meaty with just the right amount of sauce. The reason I gave a 4 star rating is that the cost of these lunch specials is $13! Throw in a spring roll for another buck. Decent food at an amazing price is hard to find these days

[The chow mein was soggy, and that's one thing, but it also lacked any smoky flavor and tasted bad. The sweet and sour pork… the meat and batter tasted like frozen products. Overall, the food tastes terrible, but the price is reasonable. Even the food court Manchu Wok costs more than 16 dollars before tax, but this place was only about 14 dollars or so. So considering it's price point,,, I guess this is okay restaurant?

Best Chinese food in the Park & Tilford area. Just look at those photographs and you will be surely enticed! Patience is a virtue, everything is freshly cooked and it is worth the wait!

Soup too salty- rice was mushy and not fried enough and also too salty … mentioned it to waitress and she just shrugged like “oh well”

Best Chinese restaurant ever! They makes perfect beef and broccoli, shrimp fried rice and spicy squid. Other dishes are pretty good but these are my top choices

Best sweat and sour pork I’ve had the tenderness and flavour - it’s a sweet and sour pork I’ve just never experienced before! The wonton soup is also delicious and they don’t skimp out on the wontons. The prices are below average and yet the food quality is far above most Chinese places I’ve been to. Definitely recommend!

Been going here for ages i go crazy over the fried squid but beef and broccoli extra beef is great also past year started to only get those but all options are great this place is a staple of north van
