Good food . I looked through the pictures of food on yelp as opposed looking at the menu this time. I was reminded they give complementary ice cream and fruit at the end of the meal like most Chinese food sit in restaurants did if they didn't have dessert on the menu. We were stuffed from the delicious food we ate but looking forward to that slice of orange or taste of ice cream. We received 4 chocolate wontons and a 2009 dollar bill. I asked the waiter jokingly, " what happened? You don't like us? He said they don't give fruit anymore or ice cream since Covid. ( MEANWHILE) the table next to us and across from us got it. I'm going to take all the candies from the front when i leave next time!! Food is good all. Enjoy read more

So it's been a while and we decided to get lunch from Pearl East on Northern Blvd. We looked in the bag and the plastic containers were very small. The hot and sour soup was very very good, but the lunches ranging $17 to $21 are terribly overpriced for such small portions. There no eggroll included, those are $4.50 each. The food itself was good, but not great, so it'll be forever and year before we head back to Pearl. read more

Pearl East - Lunch today at Pearl - Dim Sum Near Me - Manhasset, New York

Pearl East consistently delivers on both food quality and variety. Their menu has a perfect balance between authentic traditional Chinese cuisine--think honey walnut shrimp, fresh made dumplings, and roast duck--and classic takeout favorites like wonton soup and crispy egg rolls, spring rolls. Their sashimi and sushi are also great quality like main sushi restaurants. The service is warm and personable, fostering a clear sense of loyalty among the regulars. I recently discovered they even have a private back room perfect for large parties, which I hadn't noticed before! With a great lunch menu and the rare Long Island luxury of convenient parking, this is a spot that more people need to have on their radar. People that come here will keep coming back. read more

Went for an early dinner at Pearl East, highly recommended by our neighbors and they didn't disappoint. There is parking in front of the restaurant including 2 handicap slots, not sure if there is more parking in the back. The facade matches the Chinese Cuisine as advertised, the decor inside is beautiful, clean, classic and tasteful. PE has a comprehensive menu which includes Japanese Cuisine. Our dishes were delicious with a nice presentation. The service was "old school", we were greeted at the door and showed to our table; almost immediately a server came with tea, water, dried noodles and sauce. The Lychee Martini was very good. We skipped dessert, I owe you that review Please see the pictures. Try Pearl East read more

The food here is always of the highest quality. We've eaten our way through the menu and everything has always been delicious. The staff here and especially the owner are welcoming and very friendly. There's a reason why the restaurant is always busy. Even for lunch. The room is decorated beautifully. There was nothing missed in decorating the restaurant, even the stunning wallpaper. read more

We came here after my grandmas unveiling. This restaurant is very special to our family since this was my grandmas favorite restaurant. She would order to her apartment, come and sit with friends, and her office would host holiday parties here. I want to give a big thank you to the owner here for always loving my grandma Cookie and taking care of her. The restaurant is upscale and beautiful. They did a great job decorating. The food here is great. They have sushi and Chinese food. Sushi is always fresh and delicious! The honey walnut shrimp was my grandmas favorite and it was great. Their entire menu is great. There's not one dish I wouldn't recommend. The waiters are always friendly and kind. If you get here early enough you can park yourself or they have valet. I highly recommend Pearl East, not only is the food amazing but they treat you like family! read more

Best Chinese food on Long Island! Always packed and sometimes have to wait if you have a reservation, but the vibe and food make up for the wait. Do yourself a favor and go here on a Friday or Saturday evening you will not be disappointed with the food! Kid friendly, but a little tight to bring a stroller. Don't forget the pistachio ice cream for dessert! read more

Pearl East was definitely a shocking pleasant surprise. We looked on Yelp for a restaurant to go eat at that was pretty local , we never heard about this location . When we arrived there was valet , which was great , then you enter and it was so beautiful. The front bar was busy , the hostess sat us immediately with our reservations on a Friday night and the food was phenomenal. We absolutely feel in love . The Edamames were delicious, the wontons were to die for and we had shared meals and it was all so good and the best thing was the price : We will definitely be returning here !!! read more

My family has been enjoying Pearls for probably more than 20 years ! It has been going less than perfect in the last few years.My brother and I went this evening and it was a zoo and everything about it was horrible. We ended up leaving in the middle of appetizer. When we came in the hostess asked if we would eat fast? I have never imagined. One app came out but not the other . When we asked the waiter was just so rude! All I can say is they need competition! Awful glad we walked out! Say goodbye to this good customer! read more

Made reservations in advance as 4 of us are meeting here for dinner. Basic Chinese American cuisine that is consistently good. Service is on point and the menu has something for everyone. We weren't rushed and sat talking and eating for hours. There is Cantonese food, sushi, dim sum and signature dishes filling a ten page menu. Everything looked appealing and inventive. Our egg rolls were flavorful. I enjoyed my Peking duck prepared table side. My husband's mango chicken was abundant, fresh & sweet. Friends enjoyed their soups, curry shrimp and butterfly shrimp. read more

This is the third time I dined here in a span of 10 years, hoping that the last two was just an off day. The staff is very cold and unwelcoming each time the same thing. It's a joke. i'm sure that they are lovely to their regulars. food was underwhelming. Service was very poor. some people really rave about this place. I just don't get it. read more

Bustling Very few places to sit if you need to wait Service is abominably slow and unacceptable. The house soup was delicious with a So she was toothsome medley of pork, chicken, shrimp, wontons and carrots. All perfectly cooked! Boneless ribs were delicious.

Recommended for sure if you'd like something better than your average. Started with soup dumps and soup. Very good. The peking duck meat was really juicy, better than I was expecting. Served table side in pancakes with fresh julienne slice cucumber and each had a nice crisp of skin. Plated and a dab of plum sauce (more like a c added. Lobster with ginger and scallion was delish too. Some work to do even though knuckles where knifed. Orange crispy beef was cooked well and was tasty. The special fried rice was "ok". Needed some sauce. read more

This review is for takeout, I've ordered from them twice now and I have to say the food here is exceptional. Very unique dishes, my favorite Mango Chicken with honey walnuts and asparagus... simply outstanding. They also make a lot of their dishes gluten free as well. Egg rolls are pork and shrimp combined so beware if you are allergic to shrimp. The Ambience is beautiful and clean with white tablecloths as I looked in the dining area as I picked up my takeout. My only negative is the cost, probably one of the most expensive Chinese food restaurant on Long Island, but it's so good it's worth it. Definitely recommend read more

On site valet parking. The restaurant is busy - reservation is preferred and recommended. Service is fast but courteous. Great dumplings, soup, and appetizers. Main entrees are diverse and made with fresh ingredients. No particular favorites because everything is done right. Pricey but not absurd. read more

It is unexpectedly nice inside the restaurant. There is a touch of elegance inspired by Asian decor. We were disappointed not to have sushi during Saturday lunchtime visit. They offering it at 4 pm as we were told. The menu seems pretty for what they offer for sushi sashimi and maki. Only few Chinese restaurants has listed these cuisine and appreciate that they do. It only means one thing, we need to make a return! Nevertheless, the jumbo shrimp tempura compensated for my disappointment . It was huge. It came with veggies tempura and special sauce. My companion found her salmon teriyaki pretty good. It came in huge portion too. What surprised me was their shrimp fried rice. I could considered it already a meal, huge serving, tasty , delicious. I think it is smoked too . To add, the on the house noodle appetizer is enticing. Another unique offer. Complimentary hot tea is a favorite. I skipped dessert though I see that there have plenty of choices. My friend ordered an ice cream. Nothing special about it. The place is neat, clean and presentable if coming for a group meeting. If thinking of having a group party, they have a private room in the back. read more

I had the pleasure of coming here for a birthday party and I was knocked out. It was so good. Dish after dish of deliciousness came out I cannot even pronounce half of them, but they were completely authentic and full of flavor. The owner is an amazing lady and made sure everyone was satisfied and happy. The service was impeccable and I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone who is in great neck or in the surrounding area. Outside of Chinatown this is the best thing going. read more

I stopped by here before so this is an overdue review. I decided to grab a bite to eat here for lunch. I was kind of unsure of what I wanted to order, a lot of Chinese restaurants including here do not give descriptions of menu items and I don't particularly like some vegetables that are in some dishes. I ended up with Chicken and Broccoli and I asked for spicy garlic sauce. I started off with hot and sour soup and an egg roll. The egg roll was good but a little bit oily. The hot and sour soup was piping hot (almost burnt my mouth lol). It was very good and full of black mushrooms. The chicken and broccoli was not my favorite-the sauce wasn't even really a sauce, more like a glaze and not spicy at all. Fortunately the soup and egg roll plus the complimentary noodles filled me up so I didn't feel too guilty leaving a little of my food leftover. Service was very good and the hostess greeting me was very friendly and checked up on me to see how my meal was. If I'm in the area I may stop by again but try something else. read more

We decided to go back to Pearl East about 3 years ago, and live with the gentlemen up front, waiters are much better these days. The food is still the best Chinese around but the prices are now more than sky high. It is like going to a fine French Restaurant with a bill to match. We'll continue going as the Food is excellent. ho hum. read more

Spectacular eight course wedding rehearsal banquet. Ooos and ahhhs of the remarkable intricate carvings. Distinguished and memorable taste to each symbolic dish. Impeccabile service. A great find this is in Long Island. I don't have any qualms of the 30 minutes drive from Manhattan to here in meeting friends in area nor to hold a stellar banquet in their private room in the near future! CHEERS! read more

Have been coming here for many years and appreciate the way Cathy takes pride in and runs her beautiful restaurant! Whether I'm having a group of 10 or just going with a few people for lunch or dinner, the staff is very accommodating and the food is always delicious and very varied: you can have classic Chinese food, or sushi and dishes from other Asian cultures as well. read more

Service is horrible, they forgot my husband's food, and ignored us once seated. The owner is rude and nasty

So good is an understatement. If you need GF food this is the place ie Sesame chicken, Orange chicken, etc. All GF and my regular was also great. It is a little pricey but it has a classy ambiance and very good service. We can't wait to go back. Not many Chinese food restaurants are very comfortable eat-in establishments. ok I'm done YUM read more

First time here in 20 yrs but based on the rave reviews on the Tri-State restaurant site on Facebook we decided to try Pearl's again. Honestly for Cantonese food I had a hard time choosing an entree. Server also brought out skinny dipping noodles until I asked for the wide crispy ones. I made up my own dish which totally confused my server -- shrimp with baby eggplant in black bean sauce. Also I do not like sitting in the lap of other diners, very tight spacing for the 2 of us. Hubby liked his chicken chow fun but the chicken pieces were very small and almost invisible. Boneless ribs were fatty. Sorry there's a reason why we haven't gone back in 2 decades.... read more

Beautiful restaurant with traditional Chinese hospitality and delicious food. This restaurant reminds me of my childhood when my family would go to Chinatown for dinner. It's great service and even better food in a very unassuming location. read more

My family and I came here after hearing good reviews and knowing the restaurant's reputation. Unfortunately, the experience didn't quite live up to expectations. When we walked in, the greeting was unusually cold and not welcoming. There were noodles on the table with duck sauce, mustard, and hot tea. The waiter was attentive throughout the meal. We started with edamame, which is hard to get wrong, and it was as expected so it was good. For entrees, we tried the chicken and broccoli, which was alright - the chicken was so thin that the texture felt a bit off and needed salt. The General Tso's chicken, while it was good it only had one pepper and was not spicy like expected and even asked for it spicy. The orange beef was the 2nd red flag. The steak was tender but it didn't taste how it should not like anything we ever had, an odd flavor, and didn't even taste like meat. Everyone at the table tried it and we all agreed that it was unsettling enough for us to send it back. The manager or owner approached us to ask about the issue, but the interaction came across as a bit confrontational even if it was unintentional, it did make us uncomfortable. The orange beef was replaced with the shrimp and walnut dish, which was much better. Overall, we were disappointed with our experience - the lack of greeting, issues with the food, and the awkward management interaction read more

The midas touch of chinese food. Little did we know how dope this spot is, we walked in on a friday night and they were booked for the night so we took a seat at the bar and loved it. The sushi is incredible and hot (temperature wise), the wonton soup was excellent and Dom loved his chicken broccoli with fried rice. They're so busy, i couldn't believe how many take orders i was seeing come out. Overall I will definitely be coming back! read more

I can't believe I forgot to post this review earlier. So ok, let's try again. We came here with Mommy, my mother-in-law, on Christmas. The restaurant is big, beautiful, and practices social distancing, and very clean. We had Philip as our waiter. We ordered hot and sour soup and wonton soup to start. The hot and sour soup was delicious. Mommy and I enjoyed it. Hubby enjoyed his wonton soup. I tried some, and that was very good too. For the entree, we ordered a snapper that came creatively and served with bok choy. I asked for sauce on the side. The dish was perfect. We also ordered sizzling oriental mish. This sizzling dish was excellent. It includes lobster tail, jumbo shrimp, and some vegetables. Another great dish was barbecued jumbo shrimp. It had great taste in it. I loved all three dishes. We plan to come back for more great dishes. The restaurant, including a ladies restroom, is clean and beautiful. Great food and service. Thanks! read more

First off, there was no bathroom and they were sending people to a room at an hourly hotel. The had no security at the bathroom and nothing to dry hands with. I assume this was a health ode violation on so many levels but most importantly, if you were handicapped you would not be able to use the bathroom. Second, the waiters kept stock their fingers in the food when serving. So much so that when they brought over duck sauce and mustard the finger went in the duck sausage and then dropped into the mustard. All and all horrific customer service. read more

yummy food, good service and happy atmosphere. will definitely go back again and again

Great food, service was fantastic and beautiful decor. Peking duck was fabulous. !!!!

So this may be the best Chinese restaurant on Long Island outside of Chinatown in Manhattan, highly recommend any of their signature dishes, and they also have great sushi, the waiters have the attitude of the waiters in Chinatown. That must be part of the appeal I assume I've been dining at this restaurant for close to 30 years highly recommend. read more

I stopped by here for a meal with some friends before we pressed on to pick someone else up. Decent lunch menu and quick service as well.

Service is fantastic they have great Chinese food I would recommend their spicy Thai chicken ... but they need to get a better bottled water selection Voss sucks . So many high end bottled water companies like mountain valley water should be offered at a lot of these iconic spots . read more

We were not offered any drinks. When 2 people out of a party of 7 asked for a soft beverage, the waiter still didn't ask anyone else if they wanted a drink. We certainly could have asked but was very surprised they didn't lead with asking if anyone wanted a drink. When done eating, the bill was placed on the table. No offer of any dessert. I'm assuming the must have had a couple of desserts on the menu. Who ever heard of a restaurant not trying to increase the check by not offering or suggesting drinks? No problem with the food except $33 for 10 bone in spare ribs. read more

THIS PLACE SUCKS. We were greeted at the door by extremely rude staff.The food reminded me of the 99 cent buffet from Vegas Vacation and to top it off, we saw a monster roach crawl on someone's back. If you want to feel like you've hit total rock bottom just take a stroll in here, the dim lighting mixed with the 1930s decor will suck any happiness right out of you. read more

After hearing some mixed reviews from the women in my Yahtzee club, Saul, Myself, and the Weisenstiens ventured here on a chilly evening. We had a taste for Oriental after watching Shanghai Knights ( that Owen Wilson is so dreamy) and wanted something different. We had tried hibachi a few weeks ago, but unfortunately the family will not be welcome back there( My saki-fueled soon to be ex husband hit a women he thought was man because she wouldn't do the flaming onion ring tower for a 6th time, now divorce court isn't the only case for him). This restaurant was slammed. The food was mediocre. The staff was mean, but loved cheering on a shirtless blacked out Saul as sung "Mr.Roboto" by Styx, which is Japanese . This is a dead marriage. All and all this should be a one star but the owner throwing food at angry customers, shooing them away from the place with a straw broom was pure entertainment and I will come back after the divorce to laugh at poor people. Five stars!! read more
