Sadly, was our go to for the 30 years of the 33 that we live nearby. As soon as it was taken over by new owners, the maybe 3 times we took out basic stuff, was terrible. Even the Wonton Soup. Would not recommend. We really only take out soup, string beans, chicken w/broccoli, less than 4x a year, so it is no great loss. But would not recommend at all, which is a shame as a small local business..But, cutting corners does not make a good product. read more

Very good local option for Chinese takeout. Good chicken and broccoli, decent lo mein and good eggrolls

A last minute, walk-in order, was taken with a smile. The food was fresh (I mean really fresh vegetables), and tasty. I rarely recommend restaurants but do recommend this place. read more

Usually their half chicken half rice is fresh and have had great experiences, Yummy food. I always pick up because is a bit further out the way from my house, there's a parking lot so parking is good. However, tonight was not so much the case for fresh food nonetheless as an average I would rate them to be okay. This only happened tonight so I'll give them another try. On all the other times they've been good with their service and food. read more

This Chinese take out has been around forever . Sadly every time we order, the quality seems to decline somewhat more. Tonight the pork lo mein was a container full of lo mein, mushy vegetables and a few shavings of pork. There was no flavor at all . Totally bland and tasteless. The spare ribs, boneless and with bone, were full of grizzle and fat. Cold soup . Overall a huge disappointment. We think we are giving up. read more

So happy to see that Pearl Inn was open on Christmas Eve. I ordered the dinner special: spicy diced chicken with vegetable fried rice, egg roll, and a wonton soup. The man behind the counter remembered the specifics of my order and they got it right. There was a small wait because they were so busy but the other customers waiting were friendly and everyone was in a good mood. A group with a guitar cane in and started playing Christmas songs! My food was fresh, tasty, and reasonably priced. Glad Pearl Inn is in the neighborhood read more

I ordered this restaurant off of DoorDash , and intended to tip driver after the delivery has reached from the app . turns out they deliver their own food & the driver gets here ( a medical office ) and is YELLING stating there is no tip listed , where is his tip . didn't say hello or how's the weather . very RUDE. and and has TERRIBLE communication skills and no respect for others . I asked him to complete the delivery as the app still says heading to you and he continues to yell and pace around . after 3 mins he decided to leave and say he driver did 4 miles never again . after contacting the store . the women who picked up decided to feed into his behavior and state customers don't tip . Which is not my problem ! I ordered through door dash and had a plan to tip but his behavior yelling at a female is unacceptably DISGUSTING ESPECIALLY for food that was NOT. That good . read more

I have to say these past few times ordering out, not that I'm expecting gourmet take out, but it just has not been great. Today did not get our order right. My stepfather eats primarily kosher, we asked for brown rice, what did we get? Pork fried rice. We also asked for shrimp with lobster sauce with again, brown rice, we got white rice. For my meal I typically get the steamed dumplings which are usually my favorite from the Pearl Inn. But this time they were over steamed, hard, and missing the sauce that they usually send you home with when you order the dumplings. I also ordered shrimp with Broccoli but the sauce was very watery this time around. Also again, not that I expect perfection, but even the broccoli to shrimp ratio was very off. I might as well have ordered broccoli in brown sauce. I'm not completely upset or thrilled but certainly disappointed with how the last few times ordering take out from here. read more

Our go to for takeout. Excellent hot and sour soup, flavorful wonton broth. Nothing amazing, but consistently good Americanized Chinese dishes ( does that make sense?) if I go in and the staff is sharing a more authentic meal, I always say, oh next time I want that. Someday they will realize I am serious. One pet peeve- we have been patrons for 20+ years and always order leaving my first name. One day I would like to walk in and say I am here for takeout and not hear.. "What's your name?"!!!!!!! read more

Yummy Chinese takeout, conveniently located as part of the Carmen Avenue bank of stores. Food is fairly good; this particular visit I ordered soup, house special rice and some crab Rangoon. All good and not too greasy. read more

Ni Hao! I don't understand Chinese but it looks like a family run restaurant. The place is quite small as it is a take out place, just three tables and some chairs. The kitchen is large and open so you have a view of what's cooking. There are 4 to 5 people constantly talking in Mandarin, taking orders on the phone and occasionally shouting. The food is pretty delicious and flavorful. The portions are huge and the service very friendly. Unpretentious food at reasonable prices, always *****. What I like here: - very tasty food - cheap prices - friendly and fast service - delivery available read more

My favorite Chinese take out in the area. This is in Salisbury area and not real Westbury, this is in the East Meadow school District. They have a lot of people working here compared to other similar places and can handle larger orders easier. They are also very friendly and enjoy talking to my spouse, who is also Chinese. The food is always good and they are able to cook to avoid allergies (like soy)when they are advised of this. This is very good and there is no fight or argument. I have only done pickup and not had any delivery so i cannot speak to delivery time. read more

Food is usually good. I check no for all extra cost items. Get to the store and they charge you for extra items!!! Poor service

I have eaten dinner here, and have had take out. When we ate here - absolutely wonderful! It has great atmosphere, great food, the service was great. The owners came over and chatted to us, they were so nice. We had a lovely dinner. The reason for the 4 star and not the 5 was the take out was not great. I would eat there again, but I will skip the take out. read more

Closest chinese food to my house so I usually get it from here its good when i need a quick meal not the best chinese place ever but not bad at all read more

The food is good, I still prefer China House a few blocks away. I'm going to spend most of this review comparing it to China House since that's my prefered Chinese food in the area and I will tell you why. Pearls has slightly smaller portions and a more flimsy styrofoam container whereas China House uses a seal tight plastic one hence less spills and mess. The rice isn't quite as flavorful. The brown sauce they used for my Shrimp and brocoli was very oily. The shrimp were clean and fresh and slightly larger than the ones at China House but China House also charges less for the exact meal and gives a few extra shrimp. For my lunch special I was only offered soup. No soda or egg roll with the meal. Lunch specials run from 11-3 and at China House it's 11-4 The meal was mostly rice, not much shrimp or brocoli but it did taste good and was filling. King Shing has the best boneless spare ribs in the area, I may try Pearl's just to see how they are for comparison on a future visit. They have three types of soup; egg drop, wonton, and hot and sour. The soup is not the typical pint size given at most places. It's more like a half pint. You could probably finish it in 10 spoonfuls or two gulps lol. I opted for the wonton. There were two large wontons inside with some green onion and meat. The broth was very flavorful. Not sure why it's called Pearl Inn, it's not a hotel. Aside from that there are only three small tables so it's mostly take out. All comparissons aside the food is okay but oily the portions are meh. The service was prompt and acceptable but the price was a little higher than usually especially for a lunch special with little side options. Am I dying to come back? Nope, not really! read more

This small take-out restaurant is more authentic and satisfying than many other Chinese take-out restaurants around. They were exceptionally friendly and felt like I was walking into my own house. It was the usual take-out settings with limited seating. There are a few seats, probably around four tables, but the food came out quick and clean (something that most take-outs lack). *Did I mention they also have a brown rice option I happen to drive by (on my way to my friends place) and was in the mood for some Chinese food. I drove up and parked right in front. It gets pretty busy so make sure you put in your order beforehand, if not, it's okay because they will still have your order within a few minutes. I ordered the Pork Fried Dumplings, Chicken Broccoli, General Tso's Chicken, and Home-made Cheese Wonton. Pork Fried Dumplings: The Pork Fried Dumplings were not bad; better than a lot of other Chinese restaurants/take-outs. The dumplings weren't too oily or greasy either, but lightly fried with lots of flavor. Chicken and Broccoli: The Chicken and Broccoli is probably one of my favorite dishes of all time. Unlike many other restaurants, Pearl Inn has an ability to make the sauce taste light and delicious rather than the typical heavy and bland. The chicken was also very tender and juicy. The broccoli was fresh and lightly steamed (I asked for it steamed). General Tso's Chicken: The General Tso's Chicken was amazing too. A little spicy, but just the way I like it. The chicken was lightly fried and crispy with sauce piled on top. I love the sauce and rice combo. The broccoli again was very fresh and mixed in with the sauce just made it bomb-tastic. Home-made Cheese Wonton: There is nothing that compare to their Home-made Cheese Wontons. I know its home-made, just because the taste is so different, fresh, creamy, and amazing. The soft and creamy cheese, with a crispy outer shell makes it full of texture and flavor in one bite. Just writing about it makes me want to grab some right now (dialing)... haha They were very friendly and made all the changes I wanted to my order, from brown rice to having dishes steamed rather than stir-fried. The dishes were all reasonably priced for the quality of food ($10). The food maybe a few cents more, but it's well worth every cent. And from talking to them, they've actually been in the neighborhood for a very long time. read more

There is a positive side and a negative side. Positive: Very delicious chinese fast food. General Tso is sooo good. They have brown rice. They take online orders and cards. They have the usual suite of a few hundred different types of Chinese dishes and so far everything I tasted was good. To me, the General Tso is memorable. Panda Express made me hate take out style when I was out of NY, this place makes me love take out. Negative: Place looks pretty gross though, typical I guess for Chinese take out. It's not any more gross than any other average take out food joint. I am happy that I have never found a roach or something horrid in the food. Had this place been in NYC, might be concerned for infestation. Good thing the neighborhood is in a pretty area of suburbia so I guess the cleanliness is there. The ladies who run the registers are staples here, maybe they own the joint. They aren't very friendly and maybe this is what should be expected when one orders take-out. Maybe I shouldn't judge so much based on appearances. For what it's worth, I can safely say the taste of the food isn't affected by the lack of curbside appeal. read more

Food is pretty good but extremely unfriendly & moody workers. China House is great and always friendly. They as Los give you something free with orders over $15.00. read more

We are new to this area. Looking for a Chinese food place that delivers ...good food & service! This is the one!

I thought the food was good but the place needs an update it's old and looks a little rundown. We ordered the cold noodles with sesame sauce which were probably the best I have ever tried. The spareribs which were excellent. The young chow fried rice that was fresh and delicious. We also ordered the scallion pancake which was slightly greasy but has a nice flavor. I would go back again for sure. read more

My first time eating here. Probably the nastiest Chinese food I have ever eaten. I ordered the General Tsao Chicken and I'm almost certain that what I ate wasn't even chicken. The food was extremely greasy and fatty. I'm not certain if it was fully cooked. I couldn't even eat it. I took 2 bites and threw it out. It smelled horrible and oily. The sauce wasn't your traditional general Tsao sauce. I never write reviews but this food was so terrible It warranted a response. The delivery was very timely I will say that. Even the rice was greasy and the pork in the pork fried rice wasn't full cooked. Disgusting. Won't ever eat here again read more

Our family has been eating here for many years. Owners and employees are very friendly. They deliver quickly and the food is delicious.

Just ordered take out and the 2 spring rolls I ordered were missing. I called up to let them know and instead of being professional and handling their error they repeatedly argued that they put the spring rolls in the box. I had to drive all the way back and bring the food in order to prove that they didn't give me them. Also they didn't have 2 more spring rolls ready to give me upon arrival when I came back because they were that convinced that they weren't wrong so I had to sit and wait for more time while my other food got cold to make me more spring rolls. They didn't offer a refund or extra of anything even tho they were wrong AND argued with the customer until they realized they were. That is horrible customer service. The spring rolls cost a dollar and some change who would lie about that? I will not be coming back here. read more

I've been going here for years and it is everything you expect a Chinese take out place to be. They're very reliable and the food quality stays consistent. read more

It's average Chinese food. Not amazing, not bad, just a really convenient place to go if you are in the mood for some general Tao.

I got the chicken and broccoli with pork fried rice like always and honestly it was average, nothing special about it. the sauce had a weird taste and the broccoli was so hard it made it difficult to chew, i don't think i'll be returning there are so many better places i just went to this one bc it was convenient at the time. read more

Okay food. Service could be better. Went in to order and waited for food. Someone came in and ordered after me, 2 of the dishes that I had ordered and he ordered were the same. They gave him my dishes, realized that what they did was wrong but then still gave it to him anyway.. I had to wait another 10 minutes after that for my order. No apology. Things like that are annoying. read more

I've lived here all my life, I have been repeatedly ripped off by Pearl Inn. They are most local to me, but will never ever go back after my experience yesterday. I am a little overweight so they just assumed I wanted to order a dinner combo for lunch for both myself and daughter, charging me $28.00 for two combos with some soup. When I asked them why they were charging me almost $30.00 for a regular lunch they looked at me and said some people eat dinner combo for lunch. Well not in my life time, the owner adjusted the bill to $24.00 still rediculous for lunch, I took it and left, just being released from the piral i knew I couldn't cook. When I returned home I looked in the bag, they had removed the egg rolls. I called them to ask why they did that, the owner answered, because it's didn't come with lunch. So I received a chicken and broccoli combo and an egg foo young with two soups. $24.00 any other place would have been around $13.00. I told the owner I would never be coming back, her answer was. OK. What a slap in the face after years of being a loyal patron. read more

Got a dinner combo which was shrimp lo mien and they added vegetable fried rice. Order had both lo mien and fried rice in one container. As I was eating I realized there was barely any lo mien and majority was the vegetable fried rice which they hide by putting a layer on the bottom and side. Then when telling them they barely put any lo mien they didnt believe it until we had to go back to show them the container. Ripe off and food is not good. First time trying this place and I would not go back. read more

Have been ordering food here for many years. It is the closest to my home but there are others in the area. My complaint is.........when I order food for delivery the guy delivering figures it is ok to rest my bag of food on the ground even though I have asked him not to. He did it again today and started arguing with me. Then had to audacity to tell me to order my food elsewhere. Their service is very poor and they don't value their customers, especially those who have been there a long time. read more

Was doing some contraction on sight and couldn't pick up my food so i ordered something simple, just regular sesame chicken with fried rice and took about 30 minutes to arrive, food wasn't anything amazing but not too bad either read more

So inconsistent. One time fried rice is fine, another time greasy. One time egg rolls are light & tasy, next time they've changed vendors again and they are horrible. WonTon soup is consistently good. read more
