Oriental Pearl

First time ordering out from here - not from this area. First of all I had to try the pho - and if you eat pho you know you have to try the broth. If the broth tastes immaculate it has to be good. Very authentic cuisine, very flavorful. I ordered an iced Thai tea, the summer rolls and the pho chin, nam, gau, Sach (brisket, tripe and sliced beef round?). 1 thing off is that I don't like my noodles sitting in the paper foam take out containers - I suggest to go bowls for the noodles, meat and veggies. Overall, very delicious- would definitely order again!

The food is great! It's a nice restaurant and very clean. Staff are kind and friendly. My complaint comes into play with anything left over, being packaged for to-go. My left over pho had extra meats in the remaining soup. Neither all of the meat nor all of the soup made it to my to go cup. I was stolen from as a result and paid extra for a product I did not get to take with me. Imagine my displeasure when I expect to enjoy the protein and broth for a simple lunch and not being able to. Overall, better to eat in and eat everything you order. I do not know about the takeout, but the restaurant seems fairly popular sith pickups occurring through my dining experience. Update: with finishing the leftovers, I had more pieces of fat that didn't exist in my bowl in the restaurant. I really hope I wasn't given some other patrons leftovers. This is disappointing and potentially disgusting. Update 2: even my friends food was altered with! This is not okay and I will be contacting any necessary agencies. This is a disgusting practice.

Upon the recommendation of a friend, we went to Oriental Pearl for dinner. We were seated promptly and given a fresh pot of hot tea. The dining room is very clean, although the rug is a bit old and ready to be replaced. The lighting was very bright, which gave us confidence in the cleanliness. They could use a dimmer to set a more relaxed atmosphere. Our server was friendly and available to answer any questions about the menu. My wife enjoyed the Chicken & Broccoli; it was flavorful, not too salty, and had plenty of meat. I had the Orange Beef which was also plentiful and delicious -- just the perfect touch of spicy for the average person. I'll ask for a little extra heat the next time we go there. The menu has a large selection of sushi, Chinese, Japanese, and Thai food so it'll take several visits for me to find my favorite dish here. The prices were reasonable, just on par for Chinese food in the area. We will go back since it is clean, good, close to home, and BYOB.

Ok. Nothing too spectacular. The service is prompt and professional. Food was ok. Flavors didn't grab me and the meal seemed kind of dull. There were 4 of us and we all shared that perception. Prices are higher and not proportional to quantity of food provided. Staff speak but no active listening taking place. Geetings are perfunctory and seem insincere. Theres a take out spot next door. I'll try that next time.
