The worst Chinese food I have ever had. We threw the whole order in the trash out of concern for spoilage and the foul smell. We ordered wonton soup, roast pork lo mein, sauteed broccoli, mongolian beef, sesame chicken NOT one of those entrees was edible. Will NEVER order from here again. I'm not sure how they are in business. Should be shut down. Someone needs to call health inspector ASAP.

Do not use China Pearl for Delivery. We have tried to support them with periodic orders throughout Covid, but they have always ran an hour or so for delivery. Most recently (JAN 2024) they took 100 minutes to deliver 4 egg rolls, soup, and 3 entrees, and they kept answering our 30 minute check-in calls with, "it's out for delivery now". We live 12 minutes from their shop. :-( We tossed out their menu and are never using them for Chinese delivery again.

We used China Pearl a few times over COVID for the weekly Take-out/Delivery Dinner, but they were always TERRIBLE in terms of delivery time. So, so bad. Like always an hour+, but sometimes you really just want some Chinese Takeout. In January 2024, they took more than 90-100 minutes, and lied about the time frame when we called back (twice). Every call they said, "he's on the way". We are only a 12 minute drive from their restaurant, and yet 45 minutes go by, and we call, and he's still "on his way", and then 40 more minutes go by, "he's on his way". We did tip the driver, who seems nice and we have seen before, but at this time we have tossed out their menu and will _never_ be using their services again. Like never. How long does it take to make 4 egg rolls, some soup, and 3 entrees, and get them into a car? Ridiculous.

The place was very dirty and bad looking. I ordered chicken wings and they were black against the bone and one of them looked old as if it had been fried twice. My wife ordered the sweet and sour chicken and it looked old and had a bad smell and taste. They should Closing this place is very bad I will not return

The food was terrible, some of the worst Chinese I've ever gotten. Sesame chicken&chicken fried rice was very subpar, and the egg rolls were dripping in oil and inedible. I got my money refunded from Uber Eats bc the food was inedible. Do not order from here, it tastes almost like their oil is dirty. Not good at

Don’t understand the bad reviews here. My boyfriend and I have been here twice and both love it. #1, if you’re worried you can’t understand the person serving you, THEN DONT EAT AT A CHINESE RESTAURANT. Sesame chicken is very good and the people have always been nice.

I found about his place because they left a menu at my door. I understand what the men said, and most importantly the food is great! You should check them out.Parking: You can literally park anywhere

The food was very bland. The egg rolls were beyond greasy and it even smelled a little funny.

Received a flyer at my door. Thought I'd try them. Don't bother. I did my order through Grub hub. I was please to see that the order was quickly on its way and delivery man was very pleasant. But that pleased feeling quickly dissipated. I ordered the General TSO'S chicken, medium spicy combo and an order of the bourbon chicken combo. One had white rice and the other fried rice. I also ordered 6 rangoons and an order of Chinese doughnuts. As you can see by the photos, the rangoons are flat as a pancake. Barely anything in them. The General's showed mo sign of peppers in it. Not spicy at all. No fried rice. The bourbon chicken was some sort of pork dish. There was big hunks of fat in it. Totally disgusting. It went by way of the garbage disposal. When I contacted them about the order, they apologized and offered to refund my money. I could have store credit or they could put it back on my card, which was going to take four to five days to show. In my opinion, this is one restaurant that should not even be operating.

Come here for the first time, just moved here from overseas. The Hunan Pork is really good, make that with an egg roll and you have a nice lunch. The price is reasonable compared to other Chinese restaurants around the area. A very traditional American Chinese restaurant. Happy to find a spot where I can enjoy Chinese food.

Curry Chicken is a favorite dish that is simple but typically very flavorful. Unfortunately the meal I picked up was exceptionally bland and watery. I don't know that any curry flavor existed and the chicken was odd tasting. The vegetables were crisp and plentiful but just NOT curry flavored. Disappointed won't order here again.
