As is mentioned in several other reviews: this place is takeout only and a local favorite. I ordered the beef lo mein and it was very tasty. The place is pretty pricey for what you're getting ($35 for lo mein and a small soup), but with a locally owned spot in a small mountain town, I'm sure the cost of keeping a business open is super high. read more

I was out of town and wanted some Chinese food. I didn't have high expectations, because I was far from a big city. But, the food from Pearl dragon was amazing. We had to call in a to go order, and they even called us when it was the best time to start driving to them, so our food would be hot and ready upon pick up. I will definitely be coming back and thank you for the great food and customer service read more

Food was ok. WAYYYYY Overpriced. Two meals, no sides no extras was $50. PF Changs is not this expensive. The menu is not available online and the pictures on yelp were unclear because there are multiple prices for each meal. Assume the more expensive one. It took an hour to get a meal and the lobby was empty when I came to pick up. And they add a credit card service charge on top of it. We ordered take out in Miami for a family of four and it wasn't this expensive. Not worth the money for what you get. Go elsewhere. read more

The Pearl Dragon staff is friendly and we do eat here fairly regularly. Being the only Asian restaurant in Granby makes it the best Asian restaurant in Granby. It's ok. Across the board. Doesn't suck. Try going to another Asian restaurant in Granby if you don't like it. I don't understand the 5 Star reviews - must be compared to the other Asian restaurants in Granby.... read more

The fried rice, who is mushy and only had a tiny bit of egg and it. Had no flavor. I don't know who the heck the chef was but usually rice isn't a problem and it's Chinese restaurant. Most of the food was bland even the spicy dishes. It really messed up my intestines and I had the poops for the entire next day. My impression was it might've had a ton of MSG in it. Worst Chinese restaurant I've ever been to. They only have takeout and it was an hour. Wait. Would never ever ever go there again again. read more

This definitely a must-stop to for us every time we are in Granby! They are only serving takeout, no dine in. We ordered the family dinner. It was more than enough food for three of us. It came with two cartons of fried rice, two soups, two entrees, and appetizers (crab cheese wontons, egg rolls, fried shrimp). Our only complaint was that the egg fried rice had almost no egg, and had no veggies in it either. Other than that, the food was amazing and was hot when we picked it up and still warm by the time we ate it. The people there are always friendly as well. read more

While I can't tell you how this restaurant's food tastes, I can tell you that when we placed our pick-up order, they said it would take an hour to prepare and they'd call when it was ready. That part went smoothly. Unfortunately, when we arrived, the total price they wanted to charge us was significantly higher than the prices quoted on the online menu. Turns out, there are two sets of prices posted--one on Google and Yelp and another menu with much higher, and current, prices on their Facebook page. We only became aware of the discrepancy when we arrived to pick up the order. This is a problem that should be corrected. Until then, beware. read more

If you're in this area (Winter Park, Fraser, Nederland, Hot Sulfur Springs, Grand Lake), try your best to get a taste of this Chinese food. Their dishes are excellent, not only for mountain standards, but even for city ones. They are constantly busy because they've earned a strong reputation for 17 years in making delicious food. They even have dishes on their menu that I can't get in Denver. We had their orange chicken, kung pao chicken, dumplings, wanton soup, and egg rolls, which was enough food for 4 adults and one kid. There were no leftovers and even their homemade sauces were saved for next time. They added teas to their drinks and I highly recommend the mixed berry. Due to Covid and the crazy world we're in, hours are limited and it's take out only until further notice. Be prepared for a small wait. As soon as they opened on a Saturday, the phone was ringing off the hook and there was a line. It's worth it! read more

I got take out and the food was pretty good. I got the beef and broccoli with plain rice and after a long hike, it was satisfying. The rice was cooked well and wasn't overly hard or dry. The meat was tender and there was a decent amount of vegetables in the mix. While it didn't look like that much food, it was filling. read more

This is the only Chinese restaurant in the area and it of course gets repeat business, but the fried rice and the spring rolls were very bland. The entrees come with so many giant chunk veggies instead of the meat, the price point also is a little steep for the portions.

Great food. The ingredients were very fresh. Vegetables were crunchy. The sauce on the beef and scallops was a delicious brown sauce -- YUM! There was a sign on the door warning that they were short of staff, so to please be patient. Soon after we got there every table filled up. Overall the meal didn't take all that long. And they brought soup out within 3 min of ordering, so that helped stave off the hunger. We had a good experience here. The owner is very vivacious and takes the orders. Nice personality. read more

Who would have thought that you would find such good Chinese food in a little town. The atmosphere is nothing great and it doesn't feel all that clean. The servers are all friendly and quick to serve you. We started out with potstickers, which were very good. An order of 6 with a nice sauce. I had wonton soup and my husband had hot and sour. Both soups were very good. We ordered cashew chicken and a combination lo mein which had chicken, beef and shrimp. The cashew chicken was very different than I have every had as there were loads more vegetables, but the flavor was good and the order was large. The lo mein was super! The flavor was exceptional and there were plenty of meats. I LOVE hot food, and these dishes all came out steaming hot, freshly prepared so that is a big plus for me. Prices were slightly higher than I would have expected, but the portions are so large that you have enough left over for another whole meal. If the restaurant was cleaner, I would have gone for 5 stars. There were people with dogs in there, and although I am a dog lover, I am not fond of them in a restaurant. read more

The outside is very unassuming-- don't be fooled! Really great authentic Chinese food. Super large portions!! We ordered spicy hunan chicken and shrimp and vegetables, with a side of wonton soup, pork fried dumplings, and egg rolls. Everything was amazing! We couldn't stop the eating. The egg rolls were different than those we were used to, either a different wrapper or cooking method, but were so much better! So fresh and crispy. And the dumplings! Perfect taste and texture, flavorful, and large portions! Everything was definitely priced appropriately. Would definitely go back. read more

This place gets four stars for being the only Chinese restaurant within probably a 50 mile radius. The menu is comprehensive, and they have everything you'd want at an American Chinese food restaurant. We picked a seafood and a chicken entree. The stir-fries are quite saucy, but I think the extra sauce makes the rice taste better and makes for great leftovers when reheated. Their entree portions are ginormous and one entree is plenty to share between two people. Most customers end up doggy bagging the extras. read more

I don't have photos or a check-in to prove I was dining in Pearl Dragon in Granby, but we dined in late at night after a long days worth of site seeing and decided this place is the one. Yes, the 5 stars are real and authentic from everyone. We found parking in a lot, walked in, waited one hour of take out, because the owner was very verbal about being short staffed and Covid hit. Dining was closed! We did agree that an hour can fly by, so we sat in the front patio. First off, our food came out in 30 minutes tops. We ate our food in the front patio and I'm still craving this wonderful food to this day! We got Fried Wonton Chips, which were unique and delicious. Order the Wonton Soup, because in September nights, it got pretty chilly and this soup warmed us up all the way. We enjoyed digging out the wontons at the bottom of the soup and the broth of the soup was superb! We got the basic Sweet and Sour Chicken, and it was soooo crunchy! We noticed that the Fried Rice had little mini shrimp in it and pineapple chunks. Bell peppers, onions and carrots were also in the rice and it was just a mouthful. It was sooo good that the rest of my parties that we're planning on camping up with us ended up ordering from Pearl Dragon because we did recommend it to them as well. read more

My friend comes in here a lot as he lives nearby, is Chinese, and knows the owner. We had tried a viral noodle spot in Denver the night before that was twice the price and half the flavor. Beijing noodle really hit the mark! There is a row of parking outside, and we had no problem finding a spot on a Saturday afternoon. We saw in a cozy booth, and the owner himself takes care of the customers. Everything feels so authentic. I started with a hot tea, which really hit the spot and the potato salad, which had the perfect amount of flavor, balance, and not too much soy sauce like in some places. We also tried the cabbage, the scallion pancake, the oil spill noodles, and the Henan gravy noodles. You really can't go wrong, they were some of the best I've ever had, my only desire was that they would put more meat on the noodle dishes. The tiny chunks were so scarce and left me wanting more in every bite. I would have also loved more scallions in the scallion pancake. But it was perfect to dip in the noodle oil and really soak up that flavor and juiciness. Everything was divine, the prices cannot be beat, the ambience feels clean and genuine, and there's nothing better than the feeling of supporting a local family business. I could also see that they have received many awards on recognitions from Yelp and other publications celebrating their food and longstanding presence in Colorado. Can't wait to come back, maybe next time I'll ask for double meat

I'm giving three stars because I know how damaging a one-star review can be for a small business,…read moreand I've had good meals here before. The noodle dishes at Beijing Noodle have been solid in the past. Unfortunately, the soups were really bad. My husband ordered the beef and broccoli soup and I ordered the wonton soup with noodles. Both broths were extremely watered down and completely lacked flavor. Mine tasted like pork water with seaweed. We kept taking a few bites hoping the flavor would show up, but it never did. Neither of us finished our bowls - we each had a small serving and threw the rest away. For about $40 for two soups and potato pancakes, it was a pretty disappointing meal. My takeaway: stick with the noodles here and skip the soup.

It's order at counter and pick up own food utensils. Bus your own table, typical quick casual but nice and friendly. My friend had the duck bao also a fave of mine. I had the Za Jiang Mian, beautiful when it came out but I forgot to take the pic until I had already stirred the house made noodles and veggies together and my friend who had finished the first of her bao. Next time we will go back on a duck soup day which we both love. If you do too check which day of the week it will be on the n Menu. What is lice to see us for this place to have a holiday menu and celebration on Lunar New Year next month. Sadly I don't think a single place in Boulder does this. I have friends in bigger cities who celebrate that way annually.
