    Triple Combination
    Sabrina K.

    My boyfriend and I went to visit the restaurant two days ago and decided to do a review. as soon as we walked in, we were immediately greeted by the owner and another associate. The owner brought us to a quiet section and was very quick with grabbing us some waters to start off with. The server came over with some hot tea and asked us if we had any questions about the menu. The seats were comfortable and the restaurant was clean and comfortable. You can tell that the owner enjoys seeing the community in his restaurant as he made his rounds around the place. We did put a order in for steam dumplings and pleasantly surprised by not only the price but the taste of them. We also ordered the fried wings and they were hot and perfectly seasoned for dinner. We ordered the triple combination that came with fried rice and it was a perfect size to split between two adults, featured a beef shrimp and a chicken dish. We both enjoyed the beef and shrimp but the chicken with peas wasn't our favorite. The chicken surprisingly didn't have as much flavor as the rest of them.

    One of the better Chinese restaurants along/near Haddon Ave. The owners and staff are super friendly. The atmosphere is clean and pleasant with plenty of different seating options including booths, standard table/chair seating, and larger tables for big parties. The food is consistent and non-greasy especially when compared to other Chinese restaurants in the area. Their Chicken fried rice is a favorite as is the Special General Tso's Chicken w/ Steamed chicken, Sauteed with tangy glistening brown sauce, and mild spice, listed under the Chef Specials section on the Menu. The fried dumplings, spring-rolls and Eggplant with Garlic Sauce are all good options as well. The nice thing here at Oriental Pearl is that there are plenty of options on the menu and if you want to add Japanese, Thai, or Vietnamese Cuisine they have that here too. Street Parking is available, or in a private lot behind the restaurant. They are a BYOB, so bring your favorite Wine, Beer or Saki. 4 stars due to the fact that they rise above the other Chinese options in the area

    Hot and sour soup

    My family and I have been coming to Oriental Pearl for over 15 years. I feel like at this point we are practically considered family. The food has always been very consistent and I honestly never had a bad meal. My only gripe is that the raw/smoked fish based sushi and sashimi has always been a little bit too fishy for me and does not seem to be the freshest. I tend to order rolls with more vegetables and cooked meats/fish. They have really great lunch and dinner combinations where specific meals come with soup, a spring roll, and white/brown/fried rice. I give them a solid 3.5 stars. Good food and quick, friendly service.

    Kalaya is the most incredible Thai restaurant on the east coast! It's no secret that they're highly…read moreacclaimed with tons of awards, and just recently received the Outstanding Restaurant award by James Beard! I've visited 3 times now and each time was amazing. The food reminds me of my childhood of my grandma's cooking. Everything is beautifully presented, so flavorful, and spicy dishes are actually spicy! The cocktails and dessert are always so well done. The service is great. Everyone I've encountered has been knowledgeable and offered great recommendations depending on our preferences. The ambiance is casual but vibrant in what looks like a former warehouse of some sort. Its industrial meets modern Thai with lots of plants throughout the space to give it warmth and color. Since this restaurant is in fishtown, street parking is tricky but there is a paid lot 4 blocks away. The ground chicken flower dumplings were beautiful and tasty. I prefer the bird shaped ones with the preserved cod since the dumpling is smooth with a uniform texture. The grilled oysters were outstanding. I loved the spicy sauce and the fried garlic on top. My husband and I agreed that they have the best yellow curry we've ever had. It's powerful and served with turmeric rice that balances the flavors so perfectly. The river prawn was umami heaven and so buttery. To drink I had the pandan daiquiri which was incredibly delicious! It was the perfect frozen summer cocktail. I can't wait to go back!

    I came here while on a food tour in Philadelphia/New Jersey…read more Food: 6.4/10 - I was very excited to come here, but frankly I didn't love my appetizers/entrees. The Thai shots were really good though. I also didn't like how my rice was served in a bag Service: 6/10 - I waited for 15 minutes after the other member of my party's food had arrived to get my entree. We did get seated on time though and the waiter was great at answering our questions. Ambiance: 8.3/10 - The venue is very cute and I love the busyness of the restaurant.
