Of generations literally!!.. my grandma would come here and the seafood spot they used to have next door! for fresh shrimp crabs fish. When she got grandkids all the oldest ones would pile up in her huge truck and head to the seafood spot for crabs and all six of us would go to the carryout for egg rolls then zoom down to the rolling pin bakery for sweets!! ..My uncles and their friends would come here just for Wings and fries and grab beers from the liquor store. The wings are always a Hit never a Miss no matter who cooks them!! they don't taste like any other honey bbq wings they don't look like KFC honey bbq color either!! But the taste is amazing and you don't have to ask for extra sauce like other places!!.. they sauce these wings Down!!! its 6/8/10 wingettes.. my uncle and I when we have lunch here we get ten!! And it's not the small shrinking wingettes these are jumbo!! but not steroids jumbo they're just right!!.. customer service is cool!! Ambiance isn't one fr and that's to be expected with where they are! But you can never go wrong with anything you get here'. It's a Hood classic fr no matter if you're coming from the car wash, the public playhouse plays across the way! Save a lot you gotta stop here!! I wish Rolling Pin Bakery was still around so it all can come full circle ::

It's apart of the same complex where my realtor is, go figure... you wouldn't think to find a restaurant there, but expect the unexpected! I have had an obsession with kompyo sushi lately.

I have been told to try the peking duck, so I have that and a lot more on my list to try in the near future. Oh, prices and prep time are pretty reasonable too. Looking forward to more visits soon!

Welcome to a former, full-service restaurant which used to be open for dining in for years that we…read morealways went to and enjoyed pre-lockdowns which is now a Chinese carry-out. We've had many meals inside of this lovely restaurant with great architecture. Now it's only carry-out. They do a steady flow of takeout orders, here. Neighbors love it because they stay busy. We ordered a whole list of standard Chinese-American fare items here and everything was pretty normal except one spectacular entree: the Crispy Beef! Ok, this is not the 'refined' crispy beef that you'd find in more luxurious areas. Wait. Is crispy beef even refined?! Well, I've had crispy beef strips that are thin-cut with a crunchy, fried coating and a savoury, complex red sauce that is slightly sweet but more unami. That's about as refined as I've had it. But at East Pearl Asian Bistro, the crispy beef is like your most fun option at a carnival. It's deliciously-sweet with a thick fried coating. It really is like eating a plate of fun and I love it. The East Pearl Asian Bistro Crispy Beef is definitely good mood food and a choice that might make you smile. Also, the carry-out service, however busy, was excellent.

This is the only Chinese place we tried while in the area, but we went here a few times. It was…read morereal close to our Airbnb, so it was our go-to for filling in gaps for meals. A place called "Asian Restaurant", no online presence, cash-only, located smack dab in the middle of a very Mexican area. But man, everything we got was so good. We went there once for dinner, and got just fried rice or lo mein a few times. The fried rice was always plain as a side, but had a great taste and partnered well with the other food we got. Like the lo mein, it also made a great snack or small meal during the day. I'd say the lo mein is in my top 3 from any Chinese takeout I've had. The mushrooms, the stripped pork and cabbage, all the other meats were in great balance. For the meal day, we got Kung Pao chicken and the Seafood Combo Hunan Style. The Kung Pao chicken was drowning in sauce. The taste was on point, but it was not spicy at all, which was a little disappointing. The seafood combo was my favorite. They used jumbo shrimp, which tasted fresh. I usually eventually pick out the fake crab meat in meals like this, but they kept it subtle and it wasn't bad. The sauce was really good, and they weren't stingy with the broccoli which really mopped it up. This meal wouldn't have been half as good without the fried rice. If you follow Google's links to their menu, it'll take you to the wrong one. The first time we called this place we were ready to order sushi and all kinds of stuff. The lady on the phone thought I was crazy, and we eventually put together that I'm looking at an imposter menu (with their phone number on it!) Use the picture posted on Yelp for their menu. I'll miss this place.

I've ordered from a ton of places through various platforms and never had that experience before. I got the steamed dumplings. The filling was fine, but the dumpling itself was too thick and very doughy. The hot and sour soup is very bland, but you get a quart of it, and can season it however you like. The sesame chicken is good, tender, everything you'd expect. Overall, the food isn't great. If I go here again, I'll stick to the entrees and if I happen to be nearby to pick it up.

True hole in the wall where their only concern is making good food and quickly. Will definitely be getting takeout from here again!

We have been familiar with the area for years, as my father-in-law lived 3 minutes away, and recently we realized this was his go-to carryout. After 3 visits, I can say it's one of the best in the DMV, thanks to its flavor and food choices. You will find Japanese options like sushi, American-Chinese dishes like orange chicken, similar dishes, and Cantonese food like roast duck, Hong Kong-style noodle soups, and whole fish. They are family-owned and operated. Every time we come, the elder father is always gracious and provides excellent service. The restaurant is always quiet; you can hear conversations in the back, and as customers arrive to pick up their orders, we haven't witnessed any negative interactions. Customers are always happy with their food, and the staff say thank you. The only negative is the space. The building itself is older and outdated. In the summer, it is hot, and now in the winter, there is no heat. They have found ways to make it work, like space heaters on each table, but it can still get uncomfortable if you are dining in. The back area near the bathroom and the bathroom itself need a thorough cleaning. To me, it's a turnoff; it doesn't affect the food, but it does affect the dine-in experience. Again, overall, I love their food and believe it's a local gem worth a try.

I ordered the shrimp and broccoli combo, which came with an egg drop soup and a shrimp roll. Sadly, none of it was edible for me and I ended up having to throw the entire meal away. The rice was undercooked and completely lacked flavor. The shrimp and broccoli itself had an unusual color, a sticky consistency, and a sauce with a taste I have never experienced with Chinese food before. The egg drop soup and shrimp roll were also extremely bland. The interior of the restaurant is also very dated. While the customer service and hospitality were great, the food quality just was not there for me.

It took a few minutes for someone to come to the register but I wasn't in a rush so I waited quietly. The kitchen looked very clean and well organized. The floors were clean (no sticky shoes noises here) and that's always a good sign in my book. I was told it would be about 10 minutes. I ordered the chicken hibachi and 2 vegetable spring rolls. I didn't check out the restrooms but they are available for customers. I don't blame the establishment but I wrongly assumed the fried rice would be Japanese style. When I got back to work and saw the rice...I understood why he asked if I wanted yum yum sauce. It was definitely catered to DMV carry out standards.

LoL! I know the words but can't put them in the right order so there was a language barrier happening here. LoL! Some of the food on the hot bar looked like it had been sitting for quite some time under the lamp and it looked very dried out. I ordered the beef teriyaki, my husband ordered the chicken / beef / shrimp teriyaki, and our daughter had the chicken teriyaki. We ordered extra Yum Yum sauce to go with it. I didn't taste everyone else's this time because I was hyper focused on mine. The Beef Teriyaki was bland. There was no flavor until I dipped the beef in the Yum Yum Sauce. I asked for steam white rice and I received fried rice. Long review short, I didn't eat this because I'm going to have to add some seasonings from home to hype it up for it to be good. My husband on the other hand enjoyed his dish because of the shrimp. Our daughter ate a big portion of hers. She didn't say whether or not she liked it. 2.5 Stars.
