I’ll Try I.

We wanted to try a place we may not usually visit for our NYE dinner, and we were blown away by East Pearl.
Shrimp wonton soup-The waiter served us each a warm bowl of wontons at the table, the broth was smooth and flavorful, shrimp were cooked well, the veggies soft but yet still a bit crunchy, and the dish itself came with 8 wontons in it.
Ha Gao (shrimp dumplings)- The picture on the menu didn’t quite look like the actual starter, but they were delicious nevertheless. We used a little chili oil and soy sauce with each bit, and that put them over the top. The shrimp was tender, and the dumplings overall were delicious.
Short Ribs with Black Pepper- This was both my wife’s and my favorite dish of them all. The meat was perfectly cooked, the sauce was not too sweet, the veggies sautéed beautifully. Must Try
General Tso’s- A familiar dish, and of all the times I’ve had it, East Pearl’s may have been the best. Not super spicy, with an Amazing crunch to the breading. The broccoli was cooked well also. If you want to stay in your comfort zone of well known Chinese dishes in the states, you can’t go wrong with this one
Pork Shumai-This starter was the only item that we were a little unsure about. The texture of the pork was a bit too rubbery for us. Flavor was still great, but it’s possible that it is just an acquired texture for those who enjoy this dish.
To cap off the meal they also brought out some juicy orange slices that we scarfed down, even after all of the other dishes.
The sever was patient, very courteous, and attentive to our needs at the table. The restaurant had a calm, quiet, and clean environment when we were there. There was plenty of parking, and service was quick as multiple staff checked on us and assisted in the service.
