Only place we will order from in the Raymond/Epping area. Food is always fresh and hot even when ordering takeout. Chicken fingers are unreal!! read more

Disappointing. It's in a lovely multi-business building. My husband's mai tai tasted like oj and rum. Menu states a "top 100 Chinese restaurants in the U.S." It is not. Must be an old accolade. I ordered cashew chicken. What arrived was mainly mushrooms, water chestnuts, and some stringy fried chicken (emphasis on some) in a brown sauce with some cashews sprinkled on top. Tasted terrible. My husband's mushi beef was sub-par. We didn't finish our meals but politely took boxes. Do not recommend. Awful. read more

I love this place! Great sushi, Chinese and Japanese food. The chicken fingers are the best I've had anyplace, big pieces of chicken with very little batter. read more

We ordered the luncheon buffet. I'd call it American Chinese food which I love. There was a large variety of appetizers and entrees on the buffet. Definitely not a buffet for a vegetarian read more

Food was decent but very efficient with it's workers and how quick the food got out, also the decor was amazing love the Chinese ambiance, also Eli was an excellent worker and he cleaned our table quickly and perfectly. I will be back. read more

Orient Pearl - Pepper lemon steak was amazing. - Chinese Near Me - Epping, New Hampshire

I am not a big Chinese food fan, but since the rest of my family is, i have accompanied them to Orient Pearl twice this summer. Both times, I was pleasantly surprised at how good the food was. I ordered the chicken with garlic sauce and this is one of the best versions I have had in NH. I also had a crab rangoon, also one of the best I have had in NH. The rest of my party also liked their food very much. So this is a good choice for good chinese food. But don't expect much in the way of a good cocktail (even one of their specialties - my husband got a mai tai which was very sweet and seemed a bit weak relative to mai tais at other restaurants. I tried to order a cosmo - the waitress was struggling with English so I wrote it down on her pad. What showed up was a bright red cocktail with a cherry in it (cherry exactly matched the drink in color to give you a visual). The drink tasted like vodka cranberry, so not as bad as it looked, but not like a cosmo. And the waitress was struggling to keep up with too many tables, so the service was not good, although it was not entirely her fault. I will go back there because the food is good and now I know what to expect. read more

It's been many years since trying the Orient Pearl, and we wanted to give it a shot since we were in the area, and heard it is under new management. We dined a little later than the usual lunch hour, and before the dinner hour so the restaurant was not very busy. We had a pleasant server who explained we were too late for the buffet, but could still order the lunch specials. We found the food to be reasonably priced, and was delivered promptly. I tried a chicken lo mein plate with an eggroll. While the lo mein and fried rice were tasty, the eggroll sadly was only warm and very oily, dripping with oil. Perhaps the fryer was not at the proper temperature for a correct fry. The other luncheon plate we tried was beef and brocolli, also very tasty. Oddly, this restaurant does not serve tea, nor does it provide a fortune cookie at the end of the meal. This is the first and only Chinese style restaurant where we've experienced that. Perhaps it was the off hour of the day. Looks like the new ownership has potential, but.... read more

Orient Pearl - chicken lo mein lunch special - Chinese Near Me - Epping, New Hampshire

This place has some of the best Chinese food in NH! I absolutely love the lo mein it's so flavorful and the noodles are always so bouncy and delicious. The garlic broccoli is my top favorite dish from here, it's flavorful and the broccoli is crunchy. I love that they include other vegetables in the dish along with the broccoli. I've also gotten the Singapore noodles from here and it was really tasty. It's very clean inside and the staff is always friendly. Even when it's busy the staff is always attentive and polite and I've never had an issue with an order being late or incorrect. I highly recommend this place especially if you're vegetarian or vegan, they have a great selection of dishes with no meat or seafood and you can substitute meat for bean curd or tofu. read more

A slightly above average sushi and Chinese fusion in a mall... The food was okay.. pretty standard fare. I think it's what the kids would call. Meh... If you're hungry and you're in the area drop in but I wouldn't drive far to get there read more

I drive by every day and got take out on the way home. Nice little place tucked away in the plaza. I got Kung Pao. Portion was large with lots of chicken. Rice was perfect. Great spot! read more

Orient Pearl - Chinese Near Me - Epping, New Hampshire

The teriyaki and chicken fingers are the best around. Very fresh and yummy. Great, prompt service.

My wife and I came in for a late lunch on a Thursday, the place virtually empty. The food was good but similar to every other Chinese restaurant we've visited. We did find the portions to be on the small side. And what Chinese restaurant on the planet doesn't offer tea or fortune cookies?? Service was efficient and courteous but could have been more warm and welcoming. Would return if in the immediate area but wouldn't go out of our way. read more

After moving from the Boston area, 6.5 years ago, all of the Chinese restaurants were complete misses, terrible. This place is the only place I will get Chinese food in the area and it's always delicious and freshly made. Also, Tina is a great server and the rest of the staff are always friendly as well. read more

We've eaten here several times, most were good experiences. This last trip was a different story. We did our usual order, Fried rice, chicken fingers, beef teriyaki and Egg Foo Young. I'm a big fan of Egg Foo Young, when it's made right. I've had it here in the past and it was OK. This trip, Not anywhere near what EFY should be like. This order was very watery, no flavor at all and very loose. More like a pasta consistency. The beef teriyaki pieces were on the small side and very dry. The fried rice was Great as were the chicken fingers. We don't see us going back very soon, several other places to get decent Chinese food in this area. We don't mind paying a higher price for good food but this did it for me. Sorry to see this place going downhill and I hope they can make it work. read more

Orient Pearl - Chinese Near Me - Epping, New Hampshire

One of the only buffets around and I was really rooting for it. The music was super loud, staff unfriendly and disorganized and the food....barely 2 star food. None of it was really hot, it was warm. The flavor just wasn't there. I didn't feel like any of it really tasted "good." Egg rolls had an off flavor, rangoons were full of cream cheese and nothing else. The whole experience was lacking. I've been here years ago and used to rave about the buffet, not anymore. read more

Last couple of times my experience has been totally average which is a downgrade from the previous owner. Each time there were different issues so while the food for the most part is good, there were issues with either service or wait for food. Prices are a little above average for the area. Should also warn there is a 5% surcharge for credit cards (they call it a 5% cash discount). Food is good overall but falls short of great. Dining room has plenty of seating and there is additional parking in rear. read more

Best Chinese in the area. Food is always great, the manager is super sweet, and the ambiance is perfect. Super comfortable booths.

Ordered take out yesterday and not as good as my previous visit. Same order, appetizer plate with pork fried rice. Rice was very good as well as the beef teriyaki but crab rangoon was undercooked and greasy. Chicken fingers also very greasy. Disappointing when your in the mood for Chinese read more

Ordered take out online. Was ready when promised. Friend rice was mostly white rice with a drizzle of soy sauce and mushy. General Tso's was made with poor quality cuts of chicken with multiple pieces inedible due to gristle. Chicken Teriyaki was decent but made with small chunks of chicken. Lo Mein was incredibly oily and made all who ate it feel gross afterward. This place has been in a slow decline and for the price they are charging is no longer worth it. I won't be back. Bummer. read more

Stopped in to check out the lunch buffet today and are happy that we did! There were at least 18 different items and i tried a bit of almost all of them. I black pepper chicken, lo mein, angus beef with veggies, orange chicken, shrimp with veggies, boneless ribs, crab rangoon, green jade, crab rangoon, Gen Tso's chicken, coconut shrimp and a couple other things. Very different range of flavors--it wasn't as if they substituted a pea pod in this recipe for broccoli in that one or light soy for dark vinegar or something. The food was hot and tasted fresh--we are definitely looking forward to another lunch there! read more

Delicious Food! Ordered Chicken Egg Foo Yung, and it took a little longer to receive, but it was one of the best that I have ever had. The Lo Mien was great and very fresh tasting. No heavy aftertaste, and not greasy. We will be back! read more

Always a good meal, good service, good value local to other major businesses. However, Chinese food restaurants are not known for atmosphere, but are known for large portions and take home bags. read more

Would be zero stars if possible. Placed an order for pick up on Valentine's Day. Arrived at restaurant and the small area for pickups was packed with people waiting. Joined the crowd and waited for about 25 minutes. Now it's well beyond my pickup time and after seeing only 2 orders come out since arriving, I contacted my better half and told her the kitchen was clearly in the weeds and there were a LOT of people waiting for pick up orders ahead of me. So we decided it was better just to cancel and go elsewhere for food. Woman at front desk was nice, but when I asked to cancel, she instead wrote down my order number and then ran to the kitchen. I thought that was bizarre, why not just let me cancel since clearly they were behind. While she was gone I found out the nice couple next to me had been waiting for an hour. It was a holiday so we all understood completely, but why not listen to your customer and just cancel? Well, about 7 minutes later, my food came out -- just my food, no one else--even though a lot of people had been waiting longer than me, including the couple for now over an hour. That is not good service. Took the food feeling guilty. Could feel the heat coming off the takeout containers. As soon as I got in my car, I called and told my girlfriend they definitely slammed the order out after I tried to cancel.... 15 minutes later I arrive at home and we dive in for our Valentine's Day meal. I open up my lobster sauce, which is ground pork in a sauce. At least that's what it should be, instead in the container is some type of soup with mushrooms floating in it. Neither of us like mushrooms, so that's one dish that was now wasted. My girlfriend ordered orange chicken, She cut into a piece and the center was pink. As in raw. Disgusting. they rushed my order out and did not care about accuracy or the quality or the fact that it would make us sick. Immediately called and informed the manager of what happened, and I am now waiting for my refund to come through. Hopefully the restaurant takes this review as a learning experience. I've learned to never go back. read more

Went there on the 13th after Mother's Day. Had a coupon for 50% off one fish. Did take out. First time eating their food. The egg foo young I had with mushrooms and there were three large patties and half container of gravy. Beef and broccoli was excellent. Looking forward to going back. read more

Tonight was the first time I've been to the pearl in a long time. The food was absolutely delicious, the new owner and chef have really turned the place around. The wait staff was friendly, helpful and attentive Plus great portions and reasonably priced Definitely look forward to my next visit read more

The best hot and sour soup I've ever had. The recently added soup dumplings that are delicious!! Highly recommend this place for both sushi and Chinese. Both are amazing! read more

The best sushi in the local area. Friendly staff. Not much for atmosphere...typical of pretty much any small town Asian restaurant.

Tina was GREAT! Best bartender that I've had at the pearl by far. I really liked my food and the crab Rangoon's were excellent.

3 years of 5-6 visits a year trying to to understand why some people recommend this place and trying to give it a chance it is now evident that with no other sushi place close without going to dover people just settle.the sushi is horrible and Chinese food is marginal at best. This is a spicy tuna roll with what they say is king crab on top. Lol The path way to the bathroom is loaded with boxes and clutter which is a clear sign the towel is thrown in and they are just collecting the daily revenue. In no other location with even marginal competition would this place be able to stay open. I wou read more

Orient Pearl - a plate of sushi with sauce on it - Chinese Near Me - Epping, New Hampshire

This place used to be our go to for sushi, but no longer. Tried it last night (takeout) under new ownership & was completely disappointed. I got a spicy tuna roll that was tempera & a bit of tuna mashed together in a mush & wrapped. There was no sauce that is typically on top of the roll. Also got salmon sashimi that did not taste sushi grade, was soft & mushy. The wasabi was not spicy & tasted horrible & the soy sauce tasted like salt had been added. No way will I go again. read more

Went here for dinner and tried the food (went for the buffet but didn't realize they closed that before they got there - our fault for not checking first!) We ordered: Chow Mein - which did not come with noodles. Traditional chow mein should be served with some type of noodles. Crab rangoons/chicken fingers were typical to our area. And sushi... Our sushi was not good. We have had sashimi and sushi at many different restaurants locally and have had much better quality. Sushi was not wrapped well. Tuna was not great quality. Was grayish and not typical color of fresh tuna. Shrimp tempura was a strange batter. Even the sweet potato tempura was more batter than sweet potato and was not wrapped correctly. The avocado on the roll was not presented well and looked smooshed. We watched the sushi chef eat and watch his phone before our order and did not see him wash his hands before making our order. So to read before hand that their chefs are better - it's not true! We have tipped chefs specifically for their craft before, so we know when a chef does a great job. (I understand cooks need to eat - but strange to see them eat directly at the sushi bar when they have no orders) Our waiter was extremely kind and pleasant and attentive. None of this was on him. He was great! When the owner realized we didn't really touch our sushi, he came over and abrasively asked us what was wrong. He did not come over with a friendly manner, it felt like he was trying to intimidate us into not leaving a bad review. He wasn't kind about it by any means and when I spoke up and said it wasn't my favorite he completely dismissed me and looked towards my husband who said he just didn't want to eat it. read more

Jay Bai recently bought the Orient Pearl and has changed everything for the better. The food is top quality and the flavors fresh and clean. Jay graciously stops by the table and talks to us about how proud he is of the improvements he's made, and it's true. Some of the most basic things can improve a restaurant - like changing the fryer oil, switching to a higher end supplier, and employing friendly staff. Jay has proudly done those basic things. The boneless spareribs are all pork, without any fat or grease, the chicken wings are crispy and practically the size of turkey legs. Last night we went back for the second time in two weeks and had General Tso's and Pu Pu Platter for 2 with House Special Fried Rice. It was the best Chinese food we've had since being in Boston's Chinatown. The General Tso's is all white meat, crispy and light with fresh vegetables. The House Special Fried rice has clean, fresh sprouts that are still crispy instead of wilting and fresh chicken. Jay made a point of telling us that he doesn't keep fried rice overnight like some places and uses a mix of japanese and another rice. The Pu Pu platter has tender, giant beef and chicken teriyaki, crab rangoon and boneless spare ribs and egg rolls you actually want to eat. We over-ordered, as well, knowing we would enjoy the leftovers. Jay will make a success of the new Orient Pearl, but he'll need to raise his prices soon to make a profit with the higher end foods he's ordering. Please eat in, talk to Jay, bring a recipe you want made and he'll make it happen. read more

After having a bad experience there a few years ago I had not ordered from Orient Pearl since, but heard it was under new ownership recently so I thought I would give it another try. I placed my order through DoorDash and have to say I am glad I did and will definitely be doing so again. The food (Sweet and Sour Chicken and Chicken Fried Rice) was really good, the batter n the chicken was light and slightly crispy and the rice was cooked perfectly and loaded with chicken. The chunks of pineapple with the Sweet and Sour Chicken was also a nice touch! Can't wait to order again and will be trying other items off the menu too! The one thing that could be improved, and this is minor, is the plastic utensils seemed very cheap and did not hold up to the food well, thankfully there were extras in the bag! read more

This place has gone downhill. They served me reheated fried rice and the worst sushi I've ever had in my life on a dirty plate. Don't waste your time or money. read more
