One of the remaining old school sit down Chinese restaurants with white table cloth. Prices are fair, food is fresh, service is great. If you want reliable Chinese food, Pearl East is your place to eat. The seafood soup is delicious, the paper shrimp is homemade, the soft filo around the shrimp is fried to perfection everytime. We always go for the Lobster with ginger and scallion, I highly recommend it. Fresh lobster! I am getting hungry just writing this review.

Food is excellent. prices are high but we knew that. My husband and I were seated in the back room with large parties celebrating birthdays on an early Saturday evening. (5pm). It was awful. Very noisy, kids running all over the place. Service was slow. Took 20 minutes to order a drink, so we ordered everything at once. Parking is awful too. Only reason to go here is it is the best Chinese food anywhere. Will probably go back and ask to sit in the main room when I get a craving for Chinese food.

Terrible and poor customer service. Food was just okay- not worth the hype or price. Our waiter “Joe” was disorganized. Once seated, it took 10 minutes to get greeted and have menus delivered. It was not busy at all- just 4 tables with patrons. We waited over 20 minutes to get our bill. I ended up going to the takeout counter to pay the bill and then he comes running with the bill. Don't waste your time/money. Go to Moonstone which is mile down- better service and better quality food.

This is the best restaurant I have ever been to in my entire life. The food is fresh and delightfully gourmet and the staff provided outstanding beyond imaginable service. I am obsessed. And can’t wait to return. It is an amazing place for friends to meet for a night out if you’re looking for an A+ dining experience. Highly recommend!

We have been to Pearl East many times. We love the old style of giving patrons tea and crackers with the duck and mustard sauces as you ponder the menu. The decor is very lovely, and it is a very lively atmosphere. The location is odd, but it has been found. The place is busy, so I recommend reservations, it makes a difference. The food is also great, nice selection, comes quickly and it is yummy. Highly recommend.

Always loved this place, but not tonight. I get it. It’s the night before Thanksgiving so it’s a busy time, but that is no excuse. I’ve gotten more attention in a fast food place than I did tonight from our waiter. I had to get the attention of our waiter three times: once to get a second set of chopsticks because the bus boy never delivered; another time to get a second drink; and a third time when he had the audacity to assume that we did not want dessert. They seem to have a nice built-in patronage that has put them on automatic pilot leaving anyone outside that circle unattended. If you are willing to part with this much money ($150 for two), then I can guarantee you that there are nearby restaurants with excellent food that have waiters that know enough to ask If you were happy with your meal and if there’s anything else they can get you.
Food was great... Tea very watery which was very surprising even return & asked for another pot same watery taste

It was a lackluster experience. We were hoping for something a little more upscale given the reviews. We were met with a chaotic front desk handling take out orders. The menus were sticky plastic pages that were falling apart and held together with scotch tape. The food was just average and not in range of the price point. It's a small place with not much decor and is very loud when full. It's better for a family or group meal than a date night.

This lovely, warm restaurant on a cold night satisfies everyone and has superb food, great service, and you never leave hungry. It's owner is on site and is always checking on her customers. Make a reservation as it gets very busy, and the parking is valet because it's limited. However I promise you that you won't be disappointed. It is a bit more expensive than your local take out restaurant, but the crispy shredded beef is phenomenal, the chicken and string beans had so much flavor, along with a chicken and broccoli dish. The soups and appetizers are great for the table. We'll be back soon!

Our food was great I just wish our waiter was a bit more friendlier. Great price and value for what you get.
