Taiwanese food made by an elderly couple and an assistant. Patience is needed when ordering here and order an hour in advance. The food is delicious and always comes with a free sweet (great for your skin because of the collagen producing properties) or savory soup (for the adventurous type). Nevertheless, beef noodle soup and chicken cutlet over rice is so good and flavorful!! read more

Rating based on the Taiwanese style bento rice dishes. The Railroad Bento with pork chop was delicious and a good sized portion. We have also had the fish filet over rice which was good too. A good place to grab take out when you don't want to deal with driving out to Flushing. read more

Pearl Garden - Taiwanese Railroad Bento with pork chop. - Chinese Near Me - Flushing, New York

Great, authentic Taiwanese food! Their railroad bentos and savory/sweet soups are so tasty! Portions are large. I wish they had online ordering, as they do not always pick up the phone (especially when they're busy).. read more

our favorite cheap (and super tasty) taiwanese bento location! we actually don't mind eating in though it's not the best of ambiance since it's basically a take out place. However, the food is tasty and fresh and I get to enjoy it right away! We have only gotten the taiwanese dishes - each $8. Taiwanese rice noodles - with a couple of large shrimps and some pcs of fish balls, is very much Taiwanese flavored. The pork chop over rice comes with a braised whole egg, some eggplant, 2 pcs of pork chop, sauteed green beans with some pork sauce over the rice. My husband's favorite is the braised beef with tendon. The tendon is so soft and very flavorful. It also comes over rice with the vegetables and the side dishes as pork chop rice. we also tried the 3 cup chicken *very flavorful in a good way though I don't like it much since it has bones. The only thing I didn't like from them was the beef noodle. The soup was bland/not flavorful and had no depth. The beef pcs were good. My favorite part aside from the tasty bento boxes are the savory and sweet soup (of choice) that comes with each dish. We usually get one of each. I believe they do have different soups of the day. For the savory soup, it was full of ingredients such as pork rib bones with a bit of meat, daikon, tomato, seaweed and more veggies to give it that sweet flavor. The sweet soups we have tried were sticky glutinous rice porridge and white wood ears soup with dried prune and goji berries. read more

Decent "Chinese Takeout" style food. They are known for the pork chop over rice which was pretty good. I got that and the sesame chicken, both of which were pretty generous portions and came with a soda. The wait is about 15-20 minutes if you walk in, so I would suggest calling in with your order. read more

A lot of food for cheap price, thought not the best compare to other Chinese restaurant. So it's more quantity over quality for this restaurant. read more

The portion of the food is big and they are delicious! The owner is so friendly and kind, she always give us free soup and sweet soup. I like to order from them at least once a week read more

This is a super legit Taiwanese takeout shop disguised as a generic Chinese takeout store. They are famous for their fried pork chop and chicken cutlet over rice dishes, but I was blown away by the sesame oil chicken soup-- this dish will TRANSPORT you to Taiwan!! In case you didn't know, sesame oil chicken soup uses a rice wine, herbs, and ginger. Pearl Garden's version had huge flavor, packed with a strong wine flavor, and a generous amount of chicken. One problem with this location is that it's designed for takeout. There are a few tables but it's cramped. read more

Very authentic Taiwanese food. The food is great for the price as they give you soup or desert (if you buy the bento box) and it's only $10 It's loud inside because of the fan and the old couple cannot hear very well so it's understandable. Hopefully they do not retire too soon because I'll miss this place! read more

Quant little Chinese takeout restaurant that offers all your Chinese American staples like sesame chicken but have some AMAZING Taiwanese dishes. Get their railroad bento boxes and pick the chicken. It's amazing. read more

Very tasty (not necessarily healthy) food for excellent prices. They really give you more than enough food to feed an army for each entree. Whenever I cross Whitestone Bridge back hungry or just in the neighborhood, I ALWAYS have to pick something up from here. Make sure you call at least 20 minutes in advance. They get so busy during meal time. read more

Just like the other reviewers said. Looks like a run down ghetto chinese take out restaurant, but they serve some really good taiwanese dishes! Had the pork chop over rice and it was real flavorful. They ran out of chicken tigh so I'm guessing thats just as good. The soup is not bad either, theres LOTS of ingredients in it. Best part is i don't have to drive to flushing to get pork chop rice anymore. read more

The Taiwanese pork chop over rice and Mei fun is delicious! The meal also comes with soup or sweet dessert. Wait time can get long so I would suggest to order half hour in advance. read more

I normally ordered their over rice in the past. Today my husband ordered the sesame oil chicken noodle soup which is an amazing surprise!!! Love the flavor so much. I'd say it's the best sesame oil chicken noodle soup I've ever tried! Highly recommended for a cold weather like today, you won't be disappointed! read more

Big portions of tasty Taiwanese food in the strangest corner of Whitestone. But it works because there is a busy bus stop on the corner where people traverse between the Bronx, College Point and Flushing. We always order from the Taiwanese section of the menu. My husband and his mother love the Pork Chop plate and Three Cup Chicken (Chicken, Ginger and Basil) while I faithfully order the Taiwanese style rice noodles with veggies and shrimp.generously mixed in. Prices are so cheap compared to restaurants in Manhattan. $8 for a huge plate includes either a free side of savory or sweet dessert soup or a cold soda or water. This place of course is very popular with native Chinese or Taiwanese customers, but we also see a lot of non-Chinese come in to order. I always try to phone in my order ahead of time. The owners don't speak English very well, but you can always just order by number! read more

Great authentic TW takeout. Low prices and huge portions. Homemade taste can't be beat. Only Chinese takeout place in the area that has ALL Chinese customers so you know it's legit. Order ahead as it can take awhile if you order when you arrive. Hope you practiced your mandarin to order. Hah read more

You couldn't tell from the outside (looks like a typical Chinese take-out joint) but this place serves really authentic-tasting Taiwanese food. And by authentic I mean tastes just like mom's awesome homemade Taiwanese food!!! Please don't come here if you think General Tso is a great chef you think beef & broccoli over rice is the epitome of Chinese food. Although you can find these items on the menu, you'd be missing out on all the other great stuff like their pork chop over rice, chicken quarter over rice and Singapore mei fun. I haven't tried the beef noodle soup, but it looks legit. The pork chop on rice is my favorite and this is my go-to joint for it. It comes with pork chop of course (not heavily braded/floured, think of Peking-style without sauce), tea egg, pickled cabbage, green veggies (the kind varies), rice, and a bit of minced pork on the rice. Comes with a side of soup. Generous portion. You can tell that all the stuff is home-made... even the soup is homemade as they are not your generic prepackaged MSG-laden wonton or egg drop soups. This dish is perfect and always hits the spot for me! read more

It's a Chinese take out restaurant but with a taiwanese menu also. We've only ordered from the Taiwanese menu. Their chicken leg over rice, pork chop over rice and taiwanese stir fried noodles are usually our go to. They're very generous with portion size and give you an option of their daily soup or can of soda with your meal. I would go with their daily soup as it's generally good bone soup. While food is good, ordering can be difficult. It's a hit or miss on whether the woman who takes the order gets it right and I repeat myself many times. It would probably be easier if you spoke mandarin. Regardless, I will continue to order here when I have craving for taiwanese. Parking isn't great since it's right by bus stop and busy road. Lastly, I don't bother picking up my food until at least 30-40 mins has past. They get very busy during lunch/dinner and I have gone too early at times and ended up waiting another 15-20 mins. read more

Pros: VERY authentic Taiwanese food in the middle of nowhere! (jk, middle of a very residential area) Everything we have gotten from this place has been amazing: porkchop over rice, chicken thigh over rice, Taiwanese stir-fried rice noodles (mei-fun), etc. The porkchop is my favorite!! When we were there on a Sunday evening, all the customers there were Taiwanese so that really speaks to its authenticity. We also saw other customers eating beef noodles while we were there, and they were commenting on how good it was. Cons: It's a very small family-run shop with two elders cooking AND taking orders (recently they've added a young lady to help take orders) so it takes a LONG time to get the food. Best to call ahead and pick up later, allow for at least 20-30 minutes depending on the volume at the time. Also bad ventilation in this tiny little shop - prepare for your clothes to smell like grease if you need to stand in there and wait... read more

This is not your typical Americanized Chinese food place. It's Taiwanese based. I've tried it once and it was really good. The sauces aren't overbearing like in other places. The portions are huge for the dinner special. Maybe the lunch special is smaller. The pork chops are perfectly cooked and seasoned perfectly. I would definitely come back here. Only down size is that there is a language barrier but it is manageable to get the order across. Definitely would support mom and pop shops! read more

Local take out place. Authentic Taiwanese place. Home made food. Huge portion. And always come with free soup, you can choose sweet one or savory one. Singular dish may seem a bit pricey but considering what you get, it's a good deal. Cash only. Easier if you call first to avoid the wait. read more

I thought this place was a regular take out but this place a lot better than I expected. The taiwanese porkchop, chicken thigh and leg and 3 cup chicken are the usual dishes I would get and it's great. The soup is probably the best soup I've ever had in the takeout. This is my normal spot for asian food when I am near the 20th ave Target. A+++++++++++ read more

Best beef stew here... Tastes so good. The chef is very nice that he gave a lot of beef. Love the place so much! read more

Pearl Garden - Best beef stew noodle soup ever! - Chinese Near Me - Flushing, New York

Photos are accurate! Amazing spot for authentic Taiwanese food take out. Who would've known from the outside? The only reasons why it's not 5 stars for me is 1 - the place is pretty run down and 2 - long wait, so best thing to do is call in advance! Also, they are off Mondays now! Don't believe the menu hours, haha. For 8 bucks per order, they give HUGE portions. I can split each order into two meals. They also give you the option of getting either a free soda or a free soup. Don't miss out on the soup. They put generous amounts of ingredients for the soup(it's not just MSG plus flavoring like a lot of Chinese restaurants), and it simmers for the whole day which means tons of flavor. read more

Yuck!!!! I went here based off good reviews but this was the worst chicken chow fun and friend rice I've ever had in my life and not mention having to 15min to place a order while only 1 person there , then once another person walked in they took there order ahead of me ignoring I was standing there needing place a very simple order. Once I got the food it was disgusting and didn't even have real chicken in it just some mooshie stuff... What a waste of $15.25 read more

We ordered the Beef Stew Noodles, Chicken Leg over Rice, and the Pork Chop over Rice. The chicken leg and pork chop were very tasty and large portioned with stewed egg and vegetables as sides. The Beef Stew Noodles were OK, but not like typical authentic Taiwanese Beef Stew Noodles. I still prefer Pioneer for that dish. But overall, very good. The free bitter melon soup was also very good. I usually don't like bitter melon, but this was very good and not very bitter. Be prepared to smell like Chinese restaurant after leaving! read more

Friend told me about this place 3 weeks ago, and I have visited them 5 times already. absolutely loving their traditional Taiwanese food. Only $7.50 for their over-rice, I have never seen such big to-go boxes for any take out. Pork chop rice is amazing! It is by far best I have in ny and the rest is not even close. I believe the restaurant is owned by an old couple, they are extremely nice and always greet you with a big smile. For those who hasn't tried! Don't wait, you are going to love this place!! read more

Pearl Garden - Super sized pork chop rice!!! By far the best I have in ny. - Chinese Near Me - Flushing, New York

This place have the best taiwan style railroad combo rice. You can choose to go with pork chop, chicken leg, or big fish filet. The Railroad combo also comes with Taiwan sausage, delicious stewed egg and vegetable. The owners seems to be the old lady and the husband both working in the kitchen. They are so sweet, with the railroad combo, they offered to give us homemade bone soup with carrots or desserts such as red bean with tapioca. At this pandemic time I don't think you can find any where with great food great price and friendly sweet owners. read more

Small homey restaurant with delicious food. I've been to a few around the area, but this place takes the cake. Although the place seems a little run down, the employees do their best to get orders out on time. There is no option for delivery, however if you call in advance they are always ready by the time you get there. read more

Pearl Garden is a treasure in Taiwanese cuisine! A Chinese American friend recommended it and it's well worth the 25 minute drive for me. Fortunately there's street parking. The place is small but clean. Hands down the most delicious, freshest Chinese/Taiwanese food I've ever eaten! I had the pork chop and sausage w/rice and some chicken mei fun. HUGE portions easily 3-4 servings per container. Not greasy at all. A very sweet elderly Chinese lady spoke limited English but by pointing to the menu and friendly smiles between us it was easy to order. And the free chicken and vegetable soup was delicious and an extra treat. Too bad that they don't deliver. But they don't have to. As long as they maintain their amazing menu people, myself included will continue to come to pick up our orders!!!! read more

Probably one of the best Taiwanese food around. This place caught me off guard because it look like a Chinese take out that only serves the usually Chinese food but it's actually a take out for Taiwanese food. The pork chop bento box is on point. The fried chicken was delicious! Both comes with a home style soup. read more

Called to try to order just now and was told Beth rudely they do not deliver? All over google and yelp it says they deliver.

Was excited to try this place after getting a manicure with a friend. Literally stood at the counter for over 5 minutes... No one acknowledges us or even tried to take my order. Never tried the food here and I guess I never will. How rude!! read more

Was excited to try this place due to all the good reviews. Ordered the tangerine chicken. Chicken pieces were dry and hard like they were fried and refried a few times and burnt. Chicken did not have any citrus flavor. Couldn't eat it. Very disappointed. read more

Right now this is one of the only Taiwanese places open where you can get pork chop over rice. Good portions, although not fried they're grilled, but like I said only place open. Oh yeah don't step in the store, they will bring your order to you. read more
