Best food in town! We went to 5 restaurants and were turned away by reservations only or high waiting times on a rich evening, so we took the dive site and tried this place and it turned out that there were some of the best Chinese food we had! Waitstaff is very nice and fast and the food was fresh and very good! We will definitely come back!!! View all feedback.
What Caitlin D doesn't like about China Pearl:
After confirming that China Pearl’s ‘fake crab’ was not gluten free, and learning that ‘crab’ on their menu was actually crab blended with fake crab, we ordered accordingly to avoid gluten, which makes me very ill. The waiter understood this and pointed out other menu items to avoid. Our spicy tuna roll, advertised as, “Tuna, Cucumber, Fish Egg, arrived with a red sauce on it. I had a piece just as my husband discove... View all feedback.
I spent the day in Friday Harbor while on land during a San Juan Cruises Boat Cruise out of Bellingham. I had walked around a lot and was tired and hungry. It was a hot day in July. As soon as I came in the door, a nice lady greeted me and kindly seated me. I received water right away, which I really appreciated. They took my order quickly and I received my food just as fast. I ordered the Sesame Chicken with Rice. It was delicious! My wait person was kind and considerate. I left him a nice tip. I’ll return here for lunch next time I visit Friday Harbor.
Super nice and allowed me to pack a small box of a soy sauce??
The food was awesome, the service was friendly, and the restaurant was cozy. The fortune cookies were better than I’ve had.
We ordered the General Tao's [sic] chicken and chicken fried rice. Both were top-notch. The space is fine enough, and the atmosphere isn't exactly authentic Chinese, but the food is fantastic.
I am quite happy. I haven't been back to this place in 10 years since it began its original decline, but I can tell the new owners have put the work in! It's a far cry from what I remember, and that makes me so glad. This was my favorite restaurant 20 years ago when I was young. Starting with the staff, rather pleased with them. They were nice, and helpful; all things good servers are. Little more to say on that. I had the Egg Flower Soup and Sweet and Sour Chicken. The soup has a nice broth and I loved the choice of ingredients, though I wish they were chopped a little smaller so they fit on the spoon better. The chicken was soft, not dry, and the sweet sour sauce was delicious. Wish the breaded part was a little crispy, but the taste was still great. My very minor complaints would only be personal taste; I'm sure there are people who would ask for the opposite. Overall I am very pleased with the food and will definitely be returning for it. I cleaned my plates, which I think says enough! Wishing the new business owners good luck. Parking: Its downtown so you will either find the perfect parking spot or be walking a block or two.
