We ordered via UberEats and thought the food was good enough. It was standard Chinese food nothing spectacular which we expected but a 4.6 on UberEats ummmm no. We weren't sent any utensils or napkins which I thought was weird but we did get a little bag with the duck sauce and soy sauce. Crab wontons had very thin wrapper and lots of filling in it, so it depends on what you like if that's good or bad. I thought it was imbalanced so didn't devour as I usually would. The shrimp on lo mein and shrimp & broccoli dish werent deveined, again I'm just mentioning as each person has their own preference.

Always a very good meal. Fresh ingredients. Mostly standard Chinese with a few signatures dishes. Good service. Huge servings.

We went there for their wine pairing event. I'm not a big fan of wine, so that was just alright, but the food itself was amazing. The Jalapeno Dumplings (not sure their actual fish name) was amazing. I'll totally be going

The Eastern Pearl is a little hidden gem. Whenever I go (I must be lucky) it's always on the slower side and I've never had to wait. The food and service is always good and quick.

Tried Easter pear for the first time tonight because I heard the orange chicken was great. I honestly didn't like it, the chicken has a weird texture and was over cooked. The pork fried rice and hot and sour soup was the best I've ever had though. Will definitely be back to try more options and hopefully dine in next time!

Disappointing food at dinner tonight. Scallion pancakes were damp and oily. Spring roll okay. Hot and sour soup flavorless. The jumbo tempura shrimp with walnuts came with a strange sweet cream sauce on top, again no flavor. The Ma Pao Tofu was barely room temperature and flavorless. Service was friendly but haphazard (waitress didn't bring serving spoons with the food, nor a soupspoon with the soup, nor knives). I'm assuming this must have been an off night for the food. I've had takeout from Eastern Pearl with friends in the last couple years and the food was quite good.

The jumbo tempura shrimp with walnuts came covered with a strange sweet cream sauce on top that I've never seen on Chinese food, and again no flavor.

Upscale Cantonese. Superior serviceGenerous portions at reasonable prices. Highly recommend dining at this establishment.Kid-friendliness: We dined with our 3 year old granddaughter, and she was impressed.Wheelchair accessibility: I am handicapped and had no issues. No stairs to contend with.
It's baffling that this place is never full when I go. The food is always delicious and fantastic, plus you get a good amount of food for what you pay.

So, Eastern Pearl was recommended as a nice sit-down Chinese restaurant. I quite enjoyed the atmosphere, my company, and the food. I had plum wine, wonton soup, and fried rice with shrimp. The wonton soup had a clean taste with delicious lighter dumplings and plenty of scallions. The fried rice was flavorful, not super greasy, and the shrimp was not overcooked. I added some spicy chili sauce, yum!!!Our waitress was sweet and accomodating. They also had massive amounts of take out orders, so they are definitely loved by many. Plenty of people were eating in as well.I know there are negative reviews on here. To each their own. I have never been to China, however lived in NYC and ate in Chinatown often. This was up there with Chinatown, and some other cities' Chinese food favorite spots.I am happy to know of Eastern Pearl now in Buffalo and plan to be back and/or order take out.
