I enjoy this restaurant very much. The sushi is very good and the other menu items I've tried were all exceptionally good. I do however disagree with them charging $1.95 for fountain soda and re-charging you for a refill. When you have dinner for two and the bill comes to $50 and you find $8 of that bill was because you each got a refill, that's borderline greed in my opinion. This policy was recently put in place and I don't care for it at all. So beware as they don't tell you you'll be paying for it when they offer you a refill. read more

Cheapest AND best chinese in town! Their pad thai is amazing, and a huge portion for $7

Best Chinese food around! Restaurant was very clean. Our server was on top of everything also very friendly. Will go back again.

Now let's give this review some context. We're talking about Webster here. Webster's idea of fine dining is KFC/Taco Bell. Having said that, this place is fantastic! Being able to get decent, cheap sushi when I visit my family is really nice. The spider roll is great! I'd avoid the nabeyaki udon - kinda bland. Cheap prices and great tastes make this place worth a visit if you're stuck in the area! read more

Best chinese food in the area! Sizzling house special and house rice are amazing!! Great food!!

My wife and I have been eating her since it opened. I used to have to go to worcester/natick or sturbridge for really good sushi. Now I go all the way from Dudley to Webster. The place is beautiful inside and the food both sushi and chinese is really good. Aldente vegatables! One of the Sushi chef's Eric, trained under Olga. Any of you that know the boston/natick sushi scene know Olga frim Ginza and his own place in Natick. That explains the care and presentation as he was trained by one of the true masters. I generally sit at the sushi bar and have always had a great experince. Also, I didn't know they converted the downstairs into a group event place for parties and gatherings. read more

This restaurant doesn't deserve any stars. We had a family get together and chose Eastern Pearl as the restaurant. 5 out of 10 people became extremely sick within hours of eating their food. One of my family members went there in person today to inform them about it and they gave the impression that they didn't care and offered no apology. read more

We went here last week for dinner the first time. Thank You YELP! Good reviews and here is another. The dining landscape in Webster is not great but "The Pearl" is a little gem. We were in a bit of a hurry and pleasantly, we got there quickly, free parking in their lot. Seated quickly and ordered within a few minutes. The menu is quite long. They have sushi as well as Chinese/Asian dishes. I got fried rice, chicken and broccoli and an egg roll. My wife got sushi with eel and we shared. The food was tops. The ambiance was refreshing. Not extremely loud or obtrusive. The seating was comfortable and clean. Yes, there is an amazing chandelier and the place was decorated nicely. We were out of there on time and the bill was very reasonable. It may warrant 5 stars. I am looking forward to our next visit and will edit this post at that time. read more

Wow, most definitely the best Chinese food I've had in years. Fresh, delicious, generous with veggies, and not greasy. The portions are huge! We ordered takeout when home for the holidays and we were very impressed. Highly recommend! read more

Very happy with my meal! Kung Pao chicken was awesome nice lite sauce super moist chicken ( so u know it was cooked fresh to order) and perfectly cooked veggies. I don't live close but I will drive the 1/2 hour to come again most def. Also very nice inside. read more

Solid American Chinese fusion. Tasty, good food with friendly service. The ambiance of the dining room is great with the wood paneling and open vibe from the bank's shell Eastern Pearl hermit crabbed into. I'm a fan of the Japanese onion soup - I always seem to order it when it's available. Again, the dishes are Americanized, so don't expect authentic items like jellyfish, stinky tofu, or dim sum, but if you have a sweet-tooth and General Tao's chicken is your jam, this is your place. read more

I've tried to give this place the benefit of the doubt time and time again. Always was disappointed. Bland at best and since was Chinese stirfry take out considered JAPANESE hibachi?! read more

Superb food and beautiful building! What this area REALLY needed! One complaint: needs full bar and nicer bartender (had to delete a star because of her). Had great time with adjoining customers; they were nice. Waitress and hostess were very accommodating also. Looking forward to returning soon. read more

By far the Best chinese food in town! Tried them all ( there are many). Huge portions, quality food great prices

Portion size and quality of General Tso's chicken, Kung Pao Chicken and Spider roll were pathetic on NewYears Eve night. It was immediately apparent that this restaurant cut portion sizes to accommodate for the volume of orders, despite keeping there relatively high prices. In addition because of there poor planning, my order became cold sitting on a shelf while I waited over 30 minutes past my pickup time. read more

This restaurant was referred to us by a friend. We normally go to Jasmines. The food was awesome, very fresh and menu was vast. Sam the owner was very inviting and personable. Will definitely be back. read more

Probably my favorite Chinese/Japanese restaurant hands down! Everything I order I love, and im not really a huge fan of chinese food! The best thing about Eastern Pearl for me is their sushi...love, love, love it! Always made fresh, always consistent and the sushi chefs always put a personal spin on it which is fun! Recently went in for sashimi and for 20 bucks i got 16pcs of nice cut raw fish, 6 different varieties, with soup! Not thrilled about the lack of dipping sauce with it or the lack of description as to what everything was but it was amazing! Just needs a wider beer selection! lol read more

Love this place!!! Their playboy roll is so so good I could eat it everyday. Always pretty quick, take out on the weekend takes a little bit longer but totally worth it! read more

Went here for lunch today and had soup, salad, and 6 sushi rolls, along with dessert, with my daughter. LOVED the waitress-Sara, along with great good. She knew her stuff!!!! Very reasonalbe, also! read more

This is without a doubt the best Chinese food restaurant within a 10 mile vicinity of Webster. The best part about this place is that they have a great Japanese-style menu along with sushi. When I am bulking up, the standard sesame chicken and fried rice along with apps fill me up good without too much grease. When I am feeling a little more modest, the bento box for lunch is amazing and surprisingly compares to some of the Japanese restaurants I have been to in Boston. The sushi is also high quality, and the rainbow roll is my go-to favorite. I usually opt for raw fish, so quality is usually important. In terms of price, it fits just around the normal sitdown Chinese food restaurant; not too high to be unreasonable but more expensive than Main Street Chinese. This is a great place for lunch and dinner. I did notice that the takeout isn't as good as eating it there, but when is it ever. read more

The ambiance inside the restaurant is jaw dropping beautiful. I had the sushi which was good. The prices were reasonable and the green tea ice cream was fantastic. What detracted from the experience was the cup I was served water in had black spots on it and was sticky from grease. I'm assuming their kitchen hood isn't cleaned regularly so the grease builds on on kitchen equipment. The napkin on my table was dirty as well. Besides that the waiters were attentive although a bit slow to approach. read more

My god I haven't got so sick in my entire life from a place that calls themselves "Chinese". Worst "chinese" food next to empire buffet in Putnam CT! Food was cold and on the soggy side. There was something metallic in my spare ribs! And the owners completely shaked it off like it was nothing! Dishes still had specs on food on them from previous meals! Please stay away from his place! There should be a warning when you first walk into this place. read more

had eaten here before but in the restaurant . Take out tonight spent close to $100 for food that was over cooked , bland , tasteless . The egg rolls were no better than the ones you get from the freezer section , and severely over cooked , the crab ragoon like little rocks , chicken wings over cooked , so difficult to get the meat from the bones . The fried rice omg nothing more than rice a roni with onions , and chicken pieces in it . No egg , very little seasoning , and mushy . Sop extremely disappointed . And for an order close to $100 only got one tiny container of duck sauce , no hot mustard . The lo Mein total disappointment floating in grease . Had me wondering if they were simply overwhelmed by orders for New Year's eve . Appeared they seemed to make too little , then attempted to add certain things without adjusting the seasonings for more . If I could have given this place negative stars I would have . I recommend never using them for take out . The only thing worth eating in our entire order was one sushi roll .Ordered Gai Poo Lo Mein , and I am guessing here at Eastern Pearl the Lo Mein prt doesn't come as part of the dish . The Dragon and Phoenix had three shrimp total , coated in a sweet and sour sauce . The tangerine chicken tasted as if it was tossed in tangerine marmalade instead of tangerine sauce . Called to complain and was told " what did I expect , their food is the best . " .. Sadly most of the order went into the garbage as it was fairly inedible . The TV dinner we had to eat was far more palatable then the food I spent close $100 for at Eastern Pearl . Next time I will do the traveling and head closer to Worcester to get dinner . read more

I usually love this place, and often go there for a late dinner, or to grab take-out. However, I must say that customer service sometimes is not their strongest. I love their soups, and for tonight's take-out order, asked for a large of their Japanese onion soup. (I've done this before, and it didn't seem to be an issue, although it's uncommon for them, they were able to accommodate me.) This time, they charged me twice for a small sized soup container, when I questioned the receptionist, she told me it was their largest size option. Since I've done this before I know that this is not the case. Regardless, drinks are good, but menu (especially the sushi menu) never changes and can become stale for someone that goes more than once a month. I may recommend branching out for other options if take-out is your angle. read more

Just moved to the area and found this hidden gem! The food here is the best, freshest, tastiest Chinese food I have ever had! We haven't tried anything that has been subpar at all! They have the BEST egg foo young I have ever had with the best gravy! If you haven't tried this place, do yourself a favor and try it! You won't be disappointed! I guarantee it! They also have quite a large sushi selection if you are into that but I can't comment on it since I don't eat it! LOL read more

Great place - great use for the former bank - they left a lot of the wonderful fixtures and bank woodworking - FOOD is OUTSTANDING - service and people very friendly and will meet all of your needs - get on over there! read more

This was my first time trying the Eastern Pearl. I chose take-out for my method of dining. The menu had many offerings. My partner and I chose the basic PU-PU platter some pork rice and spicy beef and vegetable dish. The total cost was around $40. The food portions were reasonable. All of the food tasted very fresh. My partner found the pork rice to be very bland but I was impressed with the rice not being over whelmed with pork flavoring and that NOT one piece of rice was clumped together. The batter on the chicken fingers and fried shrimp was cooked to perfection and the egg rolls were very flavorful. The menu described the the beef vegetable dish as "spicy" but being a "spicy" fan I will request a little more "spiciness" be added. Otherwise the beef was tender and the vegetables had a nice crisp to them. My partner felt that the portions were a little smaller than some other Chinese restaurants we have frequented in the area but I explained would you rather a large amount of fair tasting food or a little smaller amount of very good tasting food? She agreed on the later. I have found my new place to visit for my Chinese food craving. I look forward to dining in the next time I visit the restaurant and trying their sushi dishes. I would HIGHLY recommend the Eastern Pearl!!! read more

Am sorry but i wont recommend this place to my worst enemy. their hoise special ftiex rice tastes like crap and they dont take simple instructions .when we placed the order we indicated that we wanted our food to be very very spicy only to get home and realise thst absolutely nothing was done to make the food spicy plus it tasted like ricesoup instead of jouse special fried rice Even yhoug tge waitress at Young shjn restaurant at auburn is rude id rather go there than to waste my money here.if i fould give this place a zero review i would.save yourself tge stress.dont go here read more

I've eaten here with my wife and daughter a few times. The food has been above average for local Chinese food. The service was average and can easily depend on the tone of one's voice and ability to communicate with servers having an accent. read more

Definitely my favorite place to go in town. Their Chinese food is AMAZING. Best around in my opinion. Their sushi needs a little work, however. I'm big on sushi and it's definitely not the greatest I've had. I usually stick to the regular menu. The last couple times I've been there, our waitress was actually pretty rude. She took our bill, which we had left cash for, and while she was still in front of us while we were finishing our drinks, she proceeded to count the cash we had left right in front of us! Plus she didn't bother talking to us the whole time. I love the food and the restaurant is beautiful inside, but I'll stick with pick up instead of dining in. read more

I went there will a couple friends of mine last week and the waiter we had was one of the worst waiters we've ever encountered. He hardly checked up on us to see how we are and how we are doing with our meal, and he messed up my buddies order twice. The food is good but the waiter was very unprofessional. read more

Cannot. Say. Enough! FINALLY a really great Chinese/Japanese restaurant in the Webster area (close enough for a drive for people from the Thompson/Woodstock area)! Great atmosphere: a very clean and well decorated restaurant with super fast and very courteous service, and the FOOD IS AMAZING :) We did take-out, and ordered a combo appetizer, wonton soup, egg roll and beef yaki soba (Japanese noodle dish). The wonton soup was some of the best I have ever had, with fresh mushrooms and pea pods; the teriyaki beef was VERY tender and wonderfully flavored. The egg rolls are simply delicious. The yaki soba beef was outstanding; the noodles were cooked to perfection. Food is very fresh, well-flavored, and best of all - I explained my shrimp allergy at the beginning of my order and they took the time to explain what I could order and what I couldn't. Eastern Pearl is well worth visiting! read more

Beautiful building.Typical buffet quality food..Pork fried rice good,egg roll good,boneless ribs adequate,Sweet & sour Chicken,chicken fingers average,S&S sauce like water mixed with food coloring and corn starch with a dab of ketchup.No free refills of flat soda .$1.95 for second glass.I was stared down after I was handed bill.I tipped her as I do tip 18% .I was waiting for her to complain.Not impressed just as I will not go to buffets anymore either.I can find better in my grocers freezer but the fortune cookie was good. read more

This place is abysmal. When my friend and I came here for lunch, we were "greeted" by a gentleman who didn't say a word to us, just brought us to a table and slapped down some menus. We ordered the hibachi chicken lunches and a spicy salmon roll. The rice that came with our meals was what seemed to be pork fried rice, and was so dry you could've told me it was from yesterday and I would've believed you. The chicken was cold and was swimming in a sauce along with the vegetables that seemed like a weird thick teriyaki, but it wasn't teriyaki. Who knows what it was. The sushi was probably the best part of our meal, but even then, the ratio of rice to filling in the roll was all off...a very thin layer of poorly seasoned sushi rice wrapped around the outside. Our waiter also didn't say much, and wasn't very friendly. Safe to say we will definitely not be recommending this restaurant to anyone or revisiting ever again. read more

We ordered takeout here over the weekend while visiting friends in the area. The udon had very few actual noodles in it and the chicken fingers were not actually cooked all the way though. The rangoons were good thats why I gave more than one star. I will not be back though. read more

Great Chinese and Sushi! My son going to college in Dudley MA pointed us on to it. Best Orange Chicken I've eaten.

Definitely as good as it gets in Webster. Super yummy food. My husband picked up the take-out order so I'm not sure of the decor but he said it was pretty cool inside, how they incorporated the old bank. They were very pleasant over the phone while I was placing my order. Pretty average price. YES! We will go back when we get that craving for Chinese!! read more

My boyfriend and I went here for dinner last night. We have been here a few times we have been very pleased with our food. He tends to lean towards getting sushi rolls and loves them. They are big. Last night I got the hibachi chicken it comes with rice, lo mein, and two shrimps. It also comes with a soup and salad. We also started with the tako Su appetizer it was delicious. Lots of food choices and the drinks are delicious! read more

Ordered take out, checked everything on our receipt that it was correct on the outside of our bag, then got home and we had a completely different order. Called the restaurant and explained what happened, they asked us to bring back the incorrect food and we could come pick up our order. Got to the restaurant and spoke with the "manager" who explained that it was very busy (restaurant was empty) and she said it would be a few minutes. While I waited I was asked where the incorrect food was, I said for one I can't bring it back to you that's a health code violation and two I threw it away. I asked the "manager" why she doesn't check the bags before they are packaged up. The receipt is correct but what is in the bag isn't. She said oh you know I don't do this the other women is here and I was busy in front. Again the restaurant was completely empty. She was willingly to refund my money for the incorrect items. Then comes over the "manager" who said he wasn't allowing that and it's like going to the store and picking up the wrong thing and returning it. I said for one it's not the same at all, I placed and order with you, and you didn't package my order correctly. He got loud and stated that he was the "owner" and slammed his fist on the counter. I said ok, since you are now yelling at me I will not be coming back here ever again. read more

Best Chinese restaurant in Worcester county imo. They also have the bomb sushi and hibachi grill! I love the atmosphere, everybody is mad chill and if you are looking for quick take out they are on point with that too. read more
