I love this place. I have been coming for years and think is amazing. First the place is very beautiful and well decorated, the staff is nice and the food is fantastic plus they are always accommodating of gluten allergy. read more

I remember when Pearl Lin used to really hit -- especially back in the day, around 2008 through the pre-pandemic years. But what we had last week just didn't live up to those memories. As always, the staff was incredibly kind and welcoming, which we appreciated. But overall, the food just didn't deliver. We originally planned to go to Thai Star at Sugarloaf Mills (which is now closed), so Pearl Lin became our Plan B. For a $90 meal, it was honestly underwhelming. Just being honest here. read more

Went with family this weekend while visiting from NC. We were seated immediately and greeted by the waitress a few minutes later. We ordered our drinks and an order of egg rolls. They were delicious!! My youngest great niece ordered edamame which she loves. My other niece ordered two types of sushi. She said they were also great !! My niece and I ordered pork fried rice. I thought it was also very good. I would definitely return to this place !! read more

We tried here for the first time. Nice Ambience. Service is nice. We tried sushi, Drunken Noodles, Thai Fried rice and few more dishes. Food is not spicy nor hot and not what we expected. Price is reasonable. Would not go again. Huge parking space. read more

We went here for lunch. I ordered Spicy Mango Chicken for $12. Average price. I was disappointed that it was not spicy to the level I expected. However the chicken is cooked to perfection-crispy, juicy, and flavorful. The peppers and mangoes add sweetness to the dish. Rice is alright-too dry for me. The only thing I absolutely dislike is waiting more than 30 min for it to come out and have to eat in 10 min (got indigestion and heartburn later). read more

I have been to Pearl Lian quite a few times over the course of the past 10+ years, and it has been great every single time. This time around, we went for my mother-in-law's birthday. There were about 12 of us, so a bigger party. We got seated in the back at a nice table pretty quickly. The server did an excellent and efficient job at getting all of our food and drink orders in. She was attentive throughout our entire dinner and got our food out pretty quickly. Some dishes took a lot longer than normal for some reason, but it eventually got to the table. Our table got a few appetizers to share like the spring rolls and crab Rangoon. Both tasted really good! Me and my wife shared the cucumber salad and hot and sour soup. I am not the biggest fan of cucumber salad, but my wife is. It was still pretty good! My soup was great! Flavorful and HOT. For our main dishes, I got the chicken and broccoli, and my wife got the Panang curry with chicken. Both tasted SO GOOD. The portions were also pretty big too, we had quite a bit to take home after. Pearl Lian is located in a shopping center, so there is plenty of parking. The ambiance is very nice inside too. Not too casual, but not too formal, the perfect place for a date night or a special occasion. I would come back here again, no doubt about it! read more

Food is usually good than they give you a good portion they do not skimp on the meat. I usually order extra meat and they are very good at giving you enough. read more

I have been going to Pearl Lian for almost 20 years. Although the establishment has gone through changes in personnel, the basics remain the same - really nice Asian ambiance and abundant menu options. Pricing might be a tad on the high side, but the food is genuine Asian cuisine. It's so good. We didn't have to wait too long for our meal to arrive and were quite happy with portions and quality. read more

Excellent. Quality of food is top notch and service is very efficient. Full bar and lots of wine selection. Just went this week and noticed some specials. I'll try to add the picture I took. read more

We have gone here since it opened many years ago and the food is outstanding!! It's always delicious whether we eat there or bring it home. It's very nice inside and has great drinks. They have many selections from Chinese to Thai to Sushi! I highly recommend this restaurant!! Elaine D. read more

Not what it used to be. There are better places around here. The food is mediocre at best. Ambiance is good

Extensive menu, with fresh, flavorful food that's well seasoned and prepared. Unlike other Chinese/Thai/sushi restaurants, the food is not overly salty, allowing you to savor each ingredient. Service was friendly and thoughtful, while the ambiance was very pleasant, with high ceilings, comfortable seating, and attractive decor. Highly recommend! read more

heavy cig smoke the entire visit, food too spicy even though the server said they would prepare what i ordered mild (tangerine chicken) the other food was good. read more

My girlfriend and I had this restaurant in our radar and finally decided to try it. Sorry we didn't try it sooner. The food was delicious and fresh. I had ginger shrimp and she had spring rolls and a basil salad roll. The spring roll was not greasy and she also had a lemon martini which was amazing! We were impressed. Prices were very reasonable and the service was good. It was quiet and low key. We will be back! read more

We came on a strong recommendation from a local business. We needed a place to grab lunch as take out. So this review is only based on 2 dishes. The Pad Thai was standard, except it lacked flavor. We asked for extra vegetables, but they must not have read the note. We also got a Moo Shu vegetable dish. Again, the base dish was bland. Most of the vegetables were bamboo shoots. We poured plum sauce on it, but it was not very good. When I order Mu Shu at other places, it is yummy and tasty with a lot of umami feeling. Not here. We threw most of the meal away. And it was on the expensive side. Maybe it's just the vegetarian food that is lacking. We did not order dishes with meat. Or sushi. Maybe you, reader, would fare better with those kinds of dishes? read more

What was once the best Asian restaurant in Johns Creek is now just average at best. Last order the Mongolian Beef was overcooked. There was chaos at the front end. Four people were waiting at least 15 minutes including me. My order was 40 minutes late. It appears the person taking phone or internet orders was not sending them to the kitchen. Their spicy tuna roll used to be fantastic. That night it tasted fishy and was bland. The last order was short on my sushi. Again I think it was the person at the front end that messed it up. She seems incompetent and oblivious and needs to be replaced. To the owners, please fix these problems. You used to be my favorite Asian restaurant. read more

We were a party of 18 in a separate room. The food was delivered to the table very slowly. From first dish to last dish took 30 minutes. I had the house special low mein. It had a great taste but was very oily. A family member had the tuna and ordered it medium done but it came out very rare. My son had the sweet and sour chicken which was very good. Lots of pineapple, peppers and onions. Overall, it was an ok experience. I might try it again down the road. read more

This place is decorated beautifully. Lovely ambiance and so much to see. The food was good- it was a taste you would expect. My husband loves Asian food so he loved this spot, but I felt like I was missing something with the food. I had the tofu lemongrass soup and wasn't a fan of the tofu, but the broth had good flavor. I also had sushi which is good. My friends had two of the meat entrees which they absolutely loved. I tried it but it just wasn't doing it for me. This is a great place to bring your guests if you want them to feel a wonderful ambiance. read more

I was part of a Mah Jongg group that the restaurant kindly accommodated in a private room so that we could play and dine. What a lovely experience! We were well tended by staff and ordered lunch as part of the day. We ordered different dishes, and all of us were delighted with the food and staff care. We hope to come back again for another great experience (plus my husband will love this restaurant). read more

Literally in the cut. But we'll worth the visit. I was greeted and seated immediately, customer service was great friendly and attentive. I enjoyed all of my food. The best thing about this place, I like is I can actually see the kitchen preparing food. With a closed glass window. No disturbances and they were all wearing mask. My food came out well prepared, hot and worthy the seafood wonton soup was good the mule drink was excellent. The triple Mongolian beef chicken and shrimp is excellent. I also got a plate of spicy basil to go with steak. The Ambience is very nice and warm and welcoming. They have a tv and the game was l Playing. Sushi and bar also. read more

Great looking restaurant , friendly staff and beautifully presented food on the plate. I love the hot and sour soup and the portions were generous. The main course of Kung Pao and fried rice were ok and only the spring rolls were not very tasty. The decor presented a great place for a special occasion! I would return and try a different dish. I wish there was a rating of 3 1/2 available. read more

My family has been going to Pearl for years. Love the food! Love the people that work there! Stephen, the sushi chef, is the newest addition and he is wonderful! He's very creative and has brought several new recipes that he has prepared for us. The presentation is outstanding! Ms Jen welcomes us like family. We usually sit in the bar so that we can visit with the staff. The food and service never disappoints!! read more

Pearl Lian is the best Chinese restaurant in Johns Creek. Their menu also offers Japanese and Thai cuisine but I always go for the Chinese menu. I called in for a takeout order and the service was friendly and my entree was ready within 5-10 minutes. I had the cashew chicken lunch for $10 and it did not disappoint. Love it. read more

Just came in for Christmas dinner - our reservation was for 5pm & we were asked to pre-order our meal before arriving. Three of four meals came out...we waited & waited for the seafood noodles to arrive. We checked with waitress and were told "it takes longer than the other meals". Ten more minutes goes by & all meals are eaten before the seafood finally showed up. My husband takes 2 bites & realizes the seafood was raw!! Grey raw shrimp & undercooked squid - he bolts from the table & vomits in the restroom. We alert the waitress who gets the manager only to be asked what he should do about it?! As the manager, if you see a plate of grey shrimp your only move is to apologize profusely & refund the dinner. That did not happen, the plate was whisked away & our check arrived with no apology. My husband barely makes it to the parking lot before the dry heaving started up again!! I get my kids into the car & phone the restaurant- the manager aggressively tells me to go to the hospital if my husband is sick & take it up with my insurance- he was rude, unapologetic & although admitted the seafood platter was removed from bill because "it was bad" he continued to insult me by insisting I call the police if I have an issue or want the meal refunded?! We will never come here again, it has been our tradition for many years to dine here on Christmas night but never again. Serving food that way & verbally attacking a female customer over the phone before hanging up is UNACCEPTABLE. My only regret is that the plate of food was removed before I could snap a photo. read more

Good food, friendly service, and a great atmosphere. We eat here regularly and have never been disappointed with our meal.

My favorite restaurant in Johns Creek! This is definitely the best Mongolian beef I've ever had. The mango chicken is another favorite. Service is always good as well. Must visit! read more

Pearl Lian Restaurant & Bar - Mongolian beef - Chinese Near Me - Duluth, Georgia

Pearl Lian has decent food....better than average, but not fantastic. I'd say 3.5 stars but not good enough to round up to 4. The atmosphere is nice....better than a typical dive Chinese restaurant in a strip mall. The General Tso's chicken was actually pretty good, but the other dishes we tried were underwhelming. Don't come here for Thai food - go to Bai Tong or Thai Basil for that. Their Chinese is pretty decent. The restaurant was also eerily quite. I felt that I had to continually lower my voice so the other patrons weren't listening to my every word. The service was good, the food came out fast. Unfortunately there are too many other good places to eat in the area, I probably won't be back. read more

Wonderful lunch menu, everyone loved their food in our group of 12. They were extremely accommodating and service was great.

Pearl Lian is a lovely restaurant and the ambience is absolutely amazing. It's super relaxed and seems very high class. We ordered the Coconut Crusted Shrimp as an appetizer and if you're a fan of coconut, you'll enjoy this a lot! It has the right amount of flakes and crunchiness that makes it super good. I shared the Mongolian Triple with my boyfriend. The plate is pretty small but it's actually filling. It comes with steak, chicken, and shrimp. I also ordered a Margarita which was alright, not the best but the food made up for it! Service is also great, Brandon was a fantastic server! :) read more

Pearl Lian is an Asian restaurant that serves sushi, Chinese, and Thai cuisine. This review is only for their Thai dishes, which were definitely mediocre. Massaman Curry- Granted, this is a complex dish that even many Thai restaurants can't pull off, but theirs was nothing special. The flavor was bland and the avocado was over-ripe and slightly black. Drunken Noodles- Definitely not one of the better versions we've tried. The flavor was off, and was slightly on the sweeter end. The fried tofu wasn't bad though. Thai Fried Rice- This fried rice was lacking flavor as well, and had more of a Chinese flavor to it than a Thai flavor. On the bright side, if you order pick-up online, they offer coupons for free food (free soup if you spend $30, free Cali roll if you spend $40, etc). I'd be willing to come back to try the sushi or Chinese dishes, but for Thai, I'd definitely rather go elsewhere. read more

Very good ambience at this place. The food quality has gone down over the years and that I why I did not give more stars. My family likes to eat here often. Service can be a bit more better but I blame CoVID for that. read more

I'll first say I've been coming here since 2007 before John's Creek was even a city. Today, on my daughters birthday, we came to eat. I called first and was told to come on over they are open until 10. We arrive and then we were told they said come after 8. I politely said no that's not what we were told. So we were then seated. I'm absolutely flabbergasted after waiting 1hr for our entrées they had not even began to prepare them. After mentioning we were the only black family that had been seated and in the restaurant and still waiting on food although we ordered prior to the other 3 booths of white couples that had all gotten there food. He offered half price to get my food out in 5 minutes. WHAT?!? It's my daughters birthday and now we have no where else to go bc it's Christmas Eve. I will never come here again and wouldn't recommend it to any of my local friends and family. EVER....being black shouldn't be so exhausting. read more
