Best Chinese Restaurant in Cleveland – After reading the Cleveland Magazine with the Reader's voting the Pearl of the Orient Restaurant as the best Chinese Restaurant in Cleveland, I decide to go try it with my colleages from the office. It was a Thursday night we went and they were busy. We liked the new remodeled dining room, very chic and modern. A large piece of granite type of water fall faced the grand front entrance. The bar was long and extensive and filled with patrons. We sat down in an open, bright and airy dining... read more
Great Pacific Rim Flavor, the Pearl is a must visit! – A friend introduced me to this lovely find. Having come from Vancouver which has its variety of Asian-Chinese-Pacific Rim restaurants, I found that the Pearl was exceptional in both the taste, decor and service. The menu is an interesting melange of various Asian cuisines. If I wanted Sushi, I could whet my appetite. Or if I wanted something more authentic, I could find it too. Most interesting to me were the Specials which have a more fusion flavor. My favorite was the ... read more
No thanks – Pricy, unauthentic, and tasteless...paid way too much for crappy food that I could have easily gotten at a cheap take out place (and probably would have tasted better!). Worst won ton soup I have ever had. The only reason I could possibly come up with for why this place has gotten good ratings is simply that those people have never had really good Chinese food and just don't know any better!
Not all it's cracked up to be – When I saw a 9.7 rating I thought I was going to eat some excellent Chinese food. I was disappointed to discover that they don't even come close to other that I have had on the East Side. You can't even substitute fried rice for steamed rice with your entree! That really disappointed me.
Maybe I don't get it – I never understand how this restaurant consistently rates among the best chinese restaurants in the area. I've tried it several times just in case I'm missing something, and it's always just OK. I don't find the food to be bad, in fact the quality of the meat and vegetables used is high, but everything is bland. I'm not sure how they do it, but the dining room smells fantastic and the dishes smell fantastic as well, but when you actually consume the food, it's never quite as lovely as it smells. The am... read more
Best Asian restaurant -a hidden gem – I am from San Francisco and there are countless great chinese and Asian/ Fusion restaurant. I was really disappointed when I first came to Cleveland because I could not fine a comparable Asian restaurant. That's when my friend took us to the Pearl of the Orient. Wow. What a pleasant surprise. The sushi/sashimi selection was extensive and FRESH to boot. Can't believe thjey have Vietnamese soft spring rolls and Beef Pho! Both were out of this world. So unusual to have a restaurant that doe... read more
Interesting but not Chinese – Last ate there about six months ago and recalled good food. Returning this past week a friend and I were impressed by the remodeled decor. Physically this is a stylish, well appointed restaurant. We opened with two non Chinese appetizers: shrimp spring rolls and chicken satay. The spring rolls were a disappointment. Cilantro was missing and they had substituted basil. The chicken satay was lightly seasoned but liberally dosed with msg enough so that it gave us both headaches later that evening. ... read more
Joe foodie – Definately the best Chinese/Sushi bar in the west side. Try their Happy Family, large sea scallops, jumbo prawns, chicken, shrimp and beef with crunchy veggies in a delicious brown garlic sauce; my wife had the Crunchy Beef, the tangy sauce was out of this world. We also tried some sushi and Maki rolls from the sushi bar section, they tasted great and very well made. Service was friendly and attentive. I was shocked when I saw the bill, it's so reasonable. Go try it and you'll like it. It's worth the trip.
The West Side extension of a Shaker Heights gem. – The Scene There are any number of experiences in life too mysterious to comprehend, and dinner at the Pearl of the Orient may be one. A consummate guardian of the tastes and textures of haute Chinese cuisine, the Pearl fills a well-dressed clientele with honey-dipped pork and seafood hot pots. The Food Choosing one of the house specialties might require a quick lesson in Pearl-speak: Happy Couple joins seared scallops and beef tenderloin tips in oyster sauce bliss; the table... read more
