Meh it's ok. One of the cheapest lunch specials around. But the food is just on the average side. The fried rice wasn't offensive, but wasn't amazing either. Light on veg and meat, kind of dry. Sesame chicken was a large portion, plenty of sauce. The fried spring roll was your standard bulk frozen unit. Not bad with some hot mustard. Service was friendly. Mostly a take out spot. But there is 10 tables or so. read more

Freindly service. Very good taste from the special fried rice and beef chowfun that we ordered. Generous quantity and affordable pricing. I certainly will come back to try other dishes read more

Pearl Express - Celery soup (aka cashew chicken) - Chinese Near Me - Taylorsville, Utah

Ordered via door dash for self pickup. The ladies were nice and it was done on time. It was extremely hot and fresh. Prices pretty good. Flavors were not great on my cashew shrimp. Shrimp tasted dirty if you know what I mean. Very few cashew. Maybe rename celery shrimp. So did I eat it? Yes. But probably won't go back. Too May other options. read more

Pretty underwhelming. I ordered the general tso chicken, white rice and some cream cheese wontons. The chicken was very unauthentic. It seemed like it was thrown together with some fried chicken in some soy sauce, the wontons were okay, very small amount of cream cheese inside. The rice had a slight hard texture like it was from this morning. The entire meal was just decent. Won't go back unless some changes are made. read more

One of my favorite Chinese places. I've been going there for almost 20 years. Moved out of the area and still eat at pearl. I really like the help. She always very sweet. read more

Great lo mein!! Rice could be better. Lunch specials are awesome because you get a little bit of everything for a great price. This is pretty much my go-to Chinese restaurant since Sweet Ginger closed permanently. read more

Sweet & Sour Chicken 1/5 I've never seen S&S chicken sliced like a cutlet before... the chicken came separate from the sauce and the chicken wasn't browned enough... it was the color of an undercooked French Fry. Same goes for the crab rangoon.... Crab Rangoon 1/5 Definitely not worth the price, the filling was sparse and what I could taste was straight cream cheese. Sizzling Platter Combo 2/5 It was still sizzling so, that was awesome... but it was bland Overall it was a disappointing experience read more

we LOVE pearl express . they are always so kind to us & have the best chinese food in the city . we appreciate them & all of their hard work

Super cheap Americanized Chinese food that's much healthier and fresher than most American Chinese alternatives, such as ABC Chinese, Little World, and Panda Express. They have $4.55 lunch deals and $6.75 dinner deals that come with fried ham rice, soup, and an eggroll. Portions are perfect, and it's so affordable! They also have a Chinese meny if you're hoping for a more authentic option. The list is limited to one page and seems more Chinese wedding style, but it's not bad. I've tried the BBQ pork wonton soup which tasted very homemade and healthy. It reminded me of home cooking and hit the spot for this winter weather. The wontons were lacking in meat and tasted older though. Their sweet and sour chicken seems to be the thing most people here love. It's also very fresh and unique compared to most places. They batter an entire chicken filet, fry it whole, cut it into strips, and slather sauce over it, so its not like deep fried balls of chicken most places have. I prefer Pearl's way since it keeps the texture crispier and enjoy this visual presentation more. Their egg drop soup isn't flavorful but it's nice and thick with adequate starch and egg. Overall, I see the appeal here and would stop by if I'm driving by and am hungry or just aiming for something cheap. read more

We've been ordering from here for 11+ yrs(sometimes once a week). The dishes are having less and less meat and shrimp(even when you pay extra). Shrimp are also a lot smaller. Much smaller portions. Even the soup is less. No descriptions on the menu, so you don't know what you're ordering unless you ask. Items I have ordered for years, now are a "side item", and soup has an "extra" cost. Why don't they just raise the prices instead of all the "extra" charges? I know things are tough right now, but this started awhile ago. There are tons of other places we will be trying. I like to support small businesses, but they don't seem to care about loyal customers. read more

*This restaurant is only offering takeout at the moment. As I pulled up to the restaurant , I see the Chef in the back side of the building smoking and scratching his junk. Due to Covid it appears this restaurant is not allowing costumers to pick up their food inside, What they've done now is open up one of their side windows and that's the pickup window, Kinda a weird feel to it ! As I'm paying I noticed about 6 people inside none of them wearing mask, Including the person that handed me my food, No gloves either. As much as I want to support small businesses during this Covid period. I feel the restaurant has a higher responsibility to uphold standards and make costumers feel safe. I got none of that here. I will never be coming here again. read more

My go to spot for a good, fast & convenient meal that's not the more unhealthy fast food joints. Take out every time. I have the take out number in my phone. read more

The food taste delicious, specially their wonton w/ roast pork soup The prices are very reasonable and the portions are good read more

I got the sweet and sour shrimp. And it was around $9, so more then I thought from their Yelp pictures. Considering its for one person. Anyways my main concern is the fact that many of the shrimp don't look cooked all the way. Everytime I bite into one I see a little bit of "grey" surrounded by white. So it seems like they don't cook it long enough for the entire shrimp to be cooked. read more

Its really a hidden gem in the west Jordan area. I've been going here over the last 8 years and their food is still the same. Its pretty good. Their lunch special are always so affordable. For under $7 you can get a pretty decent meal. Also ask for the Chinese menu. It's not necessary in Chinese but you can get the more authentic dishes like the shrimp cake and tofu. Overall good value and better than average Chinese food. read more

I can not say how much I love eating at Pearl Express because LOVE really isn't good enough. I'm on a Keto Diet, which is about the most restrictive diet you can be on. Pearl Express is one of the few places that I can eat out, but due to Covid-19 they are only open for takeout. My favorite Dish is the Pork with Snow Peas over rice. If I knew when I was going to die, I would definitely have that as my last meal. I could even eat this every day, and never tire of it. I highly recommend Pearl Express to anyone who loves real Chinese food, as opposed to the Americanized versions. read more

Pearl Express has been my favorite Chinese restaurant for 6 year ,, their portions are large I love the pot stickers read more

I was so excited to try this place based off reviews - the Mongolian beefy tasted off and was 10% beef 90% onions. The orange chicken was super soggy breading and the sauce was watered down and had no sauce! Fried rice was the only decent part which really wasn't good. I was so so disappointed , hoping I can find good take out somewhere in SL. Don't come here read more

Lots of options on their menu, but the few dishes we tried is missing some flavor and definitely not authentic Chinese or even good tasting american Chinese. The parking lot is difficult to get into especially during rush hour. There is a $25 minimum for delivery. read more

This is our go to Chinese restaurant. Our usual order is Yang chow wonton soup, pot stickers, orange chicken, and fried rice. They haven't reopened dine in since COVID, so the food is not as good as it was when we ate there. The sauce on the potstickers is our favorite. We haven't really enjoyed any of the beef dishes though. read more

This places is outstanding! The food is made fresh right off the grill! Unbelievable quality! Everything is amazing! Friendly host serving and keeping water! Great place and amazing food! Be patient it's all fresh read more

Pearl Express - See what I mean!!!! General Tso Chicken! Shrimp Lo Mein! Ham Fried Rice and Cashew Chicken! Amazing! - Chinese Near Me - Taylorsville, Utah

Ordered the pon pon chicken & general tso, both were disgusting. Chicken seemed old & dried up. Gross

Wow have never seen so much celery chopped up and used in one meal. Not one onion slice maybe 5 quarter slices of zucchini and maybe 6 teeny tiny morsels of canned carrots. Not even 2 chicken tenders cut up for an order of kung pao chicken. No other veggies or even dried peppers. Just seemed to use pepper flakes. Talk about keeping their cost down. But not providing a quality product to customers. Sorry last time I will go here read more

One of my favorite Chinese places in town. My favorite things are: Singapore rice noodles, egg rolls, and salt baked seafood. I actually once ordered 100 egg rolls to take to a summer BBQ and they were a hit! Even people who generally don't like egg rolls tend to love these. The only thing I wasn't a fan of was the sweet and sour chicken. It's real breaded chicken breast that's sliced instead of the little balls. Which to me made the chicken seem dry. But I don't order chicken most of the time, that was a friends order. read more

They always do a great job! We get the dinner for two and it is fresh yummy comfort food that lasts us a couple meals. We keep going back and for the price we won't stop! read more

I have only had take out from here and the food is great. Prices are good too especially for how much food you get. Definitely recommend this place. The sweet and sour chicken is my favorite. I've also tried the orange chicken and lemon chicken, both were very good. As I said, I haven't eaten inside but the restaurant looks clean. It is pretty small with less than 15 tables so probably not the best for big groups. read more

Fast food on the run. Chinese food on the fly. Nothing special just some good ol western style Chinese food that is much needed on a Sunday evening. It's cheap and gets the job done. read more

Son and I went because of the Yelp reviews. Lunchtime on a Friday. They were busy, and we found out why. Our meals cost a grand total, with tax, $10.45 for two people. We were stuffed on great food at great portions. Everything under $5 at lunch. We will be back!! read more

This place is always tasty and the fare is not your pedestrian chinese food. The vegetable egg foo yong is like nothing i've had before and is simply amazing. There is also a chinese language menu for the people that like to get a taste of their home cooking. Service is ok but the food will bring you back. read more

Wow. This has got to be one of the best places if you're craving for some Chinese food during lunch. The first thing that caught my eye was the prices. All of the lunch menu items were less than $5! After your order, the first thing you are served is some egg drop soup. It's extremely hot, but oh so good :). Of course, the next thing to come out is your entree. For 4.95, you get plenty of bang for the buck. Large portions for a not so large cost. The service is exceptional. The waitress kept on making sure we had enough water and always came by and refilled if she saw we were getting low. Definitely give this place a shot if you're ever in the area. As a previous reviewer said, getting in and out of the area can be troublesome at prime times. After the MANY times I've been here for lunch, I recommend first the Egg Foo Yung plate. If you go there again (which I am sure you will), try the pan fried noodles. read more

Stopped in for take out. We have driven by so many times and finally made it a point to try their food. My friend had the house pan fried noodles. She really enjoyed this dish. I tasted it and thought it was pretty good. I'm a garlic sauce junkie; the spicy, garlicky kick always gets me. However, they only had this option with beef. They were kind enough to do Veggies and tofu in their garlic sauce. I would say the sauce was not my fave. It was salty and tasted mostly of dark soy. The veggies were definitely not present basically given tofu and bamboo shoots. I did like the service and would love to try some other options next time. Thinking ill branch out and try some of the chefs favorites in the future. read more

The owner always welcoming! But our server was rude and "snotty" slamming our drinks and plates. Left me without my water for 25 minutes.

I have a bit of an ammendment to my previous review I left a while ago (below). They've recently changed the prices, which is understandable, but we've noticed the quality of food and service decline at the same time. I think our final straw was when they packaged a to-go order sloppily, resulting in spilled Chinese food entirely throughout the bag, and thus our car, ruining upholstery and making our dinner no longer edible. I understand this can happen with any to-go order, but this has never been the issue with them. When I called to let them know what happened, they hung up on me. Just not the same nice neighborhood Chinese restaurant it used to be. Original review: We love this restaurant! Nothing fancy, but a great place to get awesome Chinese. The food is delicious and the price is right. This is the only place we call when we get a craving for Chinese! read more

Had my first Pearl express experience the other day. I ordered the family meal "B" option with sweet n sour chicken and orange chicken, it came with shrimp and won tons. The won tons tasted burnt so they weren't very good. The shrimp was dry and tuff. The rest of the meal was good read more

I live in the neighborhood, so decided to try it for a take out. Order was ready fast, and I was surprised at the freshness of the vegetables...which I loved! Not highly flavored, but fine with me, because I can add what I want. Portions large. I really liked it. read more

Excellent service and food so tasty close home. Price unbeatable I recommended to everyone that enjoys Chinese food read more
