    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 - kanom jeeb nok (bird-shaped dumplings)

    Some of the best food I've had in my life. The sausage based salad and prawns were amazing dishes…read more The sausage salad was similar to a lettuce wrap base, minimal "salad" fillers.

    What an absolutely amazing experience. Knowing how popular this restaurant is, I made reservations…read morea few weeks in advance. We arrived early and were quickly shown to our seats. We both saw the 'Taste of Kalaya' which goes for $85 per person. It comes with a few sharable appetizers, an entree and dessert served family style. Starting off with their Shaw Muang which are flower shaped dumplings with ground chicken, cucumber and a Thai chili, these were phenomenal. Simple, but beautifully presented. The fact these bite-sized dumplings were packed full of flavor and texture were extraordinary. Next were the Gui Chai which are crispy garlic chive rice cakes with a spicy sweet soy sauce. These were also tasty, but I would have preferred a thicker accompanying sauce that coats the rice cake after each dip, rather running right off it. We were also able to choose an extra appetizer, which we opted in for Plah Hoy Namg Rom which are grilled oysters with a chili jam, crispy shallot, lemongrass and herbs. These looked beautiful, but I felt the flavours overpowered the natural taste of the oyster. For mains, we opted in for the Goong Thod Kluae which is their wok-fried river prawn in brown butter w. shrimp paste and seafood nam jim, Gaeng Pae which is a goat and lamb curry with their own spice blend and toasted coconut, and Gai Yaang Naa Por (add-on, extra charge) which is charcoal grilled chicken glazed with coconut cream, turmeric, dark soy and fish sauce. The river prawn was phenomenal. The fact this was the size of a lobster was a huge wow-factor. It's served tableside where the head butter is first removed, then the succulent meat, and finally topped with the head butter. Presentation-wise, not that prettiest thing, but the flavours were incredible. Perhaps as the server is dissecting the river prawn, they could move it onto a clean plate with garnishes to make it look more presentable. Nevertheless, this is one of the best dishes I've had anywhere. The goat and lamb curry was slightly disappointing. We found it to be overly spicy where we couldn't taste the goat and/or lamb in the dish. We're not shy when it comes to spicy food, but this set our mouths ablaze and it was difficult to take 2nd and 3rd bites from this particular dish. For the charcoal grilled chicken was decent. I found parts of the dish to be on the dry side and other parts to be tender and juicy. I didn't necessarily taste the coconut cream or turmeric, but it was a decent dish. For sides, we opted in for the Yum Makhua Yao which is marinated eggplant w. mint, galangal, fried shallots and prik nam pla, and the Moo Tod Nam Pla which is crispy pork belly w. fish sauce. The eggplant was a nice side dish to take a break from the main courses and the crispy pork belly was nice as well. Crispy, not overly fatty or oily, and would have preferred that as a main over the goat and lamb curry. For dessert, we saw a couple of our favourites but with a twist. We opted in for their Durian Sticky Rice (Great spin on a traditional mango sticky rice) and their Thai tea tiramisu (a spin on your traditional tiramisu which comes with coffee-soaked ladyfingers). The durian sticky rice was out of this world. Durian in place of mango was brilliant. Perfectly ripe, soft and was a breathtaking dessert. As for the tiramisu, this was fantastic as well. The Thai tea flavour didn't shine through as much as I would have liked, but overall, excellent. It's worth noting, the service at this restaurant is impeccable. Probably one of the best hospitalities I've received anywhere. The servers reset your table in between courses by wiping it off and everyone was professional, knowledgeable and kind. Overall, I can see why this is listed on the top 50 restaurants in the U.S. coming in at #11 according to 'theworlds50best'. The quality of food, the service, atmosphere is top notch.
