This place is a real gem. Our family always makes the extra trip just to see Jenny, and dine on their oh sooo tasty food. Their orange chicken is calling my name right now. Thx Red Pearl! read more

I absolutely LOVE the read Pearl. Such great customer service and the food is delicious! My husband has celiac's disease and one of the things I love the most about the red Pearl is that they have a ton of gluten free options! This is a must try if you live or are in the Boulder creek area. read more

Service was Great. We ordered the Chicken egg rolls and chicken fried rice but "Spicy" version. Far exceeded my expectations and now I was my rice Spicy all the time. read more

We come all the way from Vallejo and spend the night in boulder creek just to be able to eat here. It's the only place I can get authentic, and delicious Chinese food from as someone with celiac. We love this place. read more

Had the Red pearl the other day, chow mein, fried rice and the orange chicken! Pretty good and was priced decent! Would go again when I can!

They are sooo nice in there. And I love all of the vegan options (tofu & mock chicken)! They're all absolutely delicious. My favs are the vegi chicken fried rice, general mock chicken, and the orange mock chicken. And the spring rolls are always a nice addition too read more

I stumbled upon this place after hiking starving with no service and it was so good I had to come back! It has an amazing cozy vibe and a patio so I was able to sit with my dog. The food is outstanding and you can tell this a spot locals love. Makes sense, the owner is so incredibly welcoming and hospitable. Definitely a rare gem in the redwood forest. read more

Food is fresh and very flavorful. Staff is polite and helpful. Even asked for sauce on the side of a chicken dish for a guest and there was no problem accommodating. read more

First off, I don't like Chinese food that much, but dang, I love this place! Jenny is always so sweet and remembers her customers. It's always quiet in there because it seems that people get their orders to go most of the time. I like to eat there and take it to go. Their szechuan chow mein with bbq pork is my go to but I have tried other things as well and every time I try something new it's always really good! read more

And . . . when in Boulder Creek, downpour or heatwave, I order-up at Red Pearl Chinese restaurant. Although I was here for the parade and festivities, the food is so good, it's worth a trip any day. 11-9. Every day but Tuesday. Here's Chix Chow Mein & Mongolian Beef. I got yummy Won Ton soup to eat after the fog rolls in back home in Capitola. Jenny, the owner, is a sweetheart of a host. PS; Seating is available but limited. I had the option of plated entrees, but since I'd end up taking half+ home, I opted for these to-go containers. read more

Ordered the fried rice with shrimp, chow mein and both were delicious. I like that they had all the condiments set out to get what you need by the counters. And they give you 2 free egg rolls! read more

Amazing food and service! Bonus for the cute Yorkie and outdoor seat with our dogs. We found our new favorite Chinese food go to.

Last review I wrote for Red Pearl was two years ago and I gave them 5 stars. Still giving them 5 stars. Great food and Jenny is so nice. Large menu selection and portions are very generous. A lunch special is enough for two days. They always add free egg rolls too. read more

We love jenny! She's the nicest and the food is always so good and hot. Love to come in here with my family as well during the week and just hang out while we eat. One of my favorite places in the valley read more

Great place, great food, and wonderful owners. I cannot recommend them enough. What great asset to our town.

The service here is amazing - the staff is lovely and wonderful and super helpful. When visiting Boulder Creek, I've both eaten in and had takeout and this little family run small town restaurant has some of the best customer service I've ever seen. This small and genuine restaurant is a Boulder Creek institution. My BC friends and BC family have menu items they love - Walnut Prawns is a big favorite. I have had the egg rolls and they are delicious. read more

Food is always good, Jenny (owner) is very attentive, service is quick, wide variety of choices. I've never had anything that wasn't good. Love the Orange Chicken, Spicy Green Beans, Egg rolls, Chicken salad - my family go to's. In house dining is seems casual, but I've never eaten in the restaurant, just take out. read more

The owner seems to be there at all hours, and it shows. Clearly a lot of repeat customers!! The most tender broccoli beef I've ever had.... and I have eaten a lot of broccoli beef!! The menu is huge! I've already taken a few people, and everybody has thoroughly enjoyed each dish they tried. Plus, just driving through and around Boulder Creek in the San Lorenzo Valley gives the soul a complete refresh. Driving among the giant redwoods, you have to remind yourself that you are only 25 minutes away from Silicon Valley... and even closer to the ocean. read more

I have been going to the Red Pearl for about 12 years now. Every dish tastes different from another and the food is always full of flavor. Jenny is a kind and gracious host and I appreciate her being here in Boulder Creek serving this delicious food. read more

The best you'll get up here, and Jenny is the best. Awesome food and the extras are wonderful.

Jenny is the best! Why does anyone in SLV go anywhere else for their Chinese food (unless it's Tuesday)? Highest value, biggest portions, and friendliest staff! read more

My son has been telling me about this restaurant for months, him and his friend go pretty often. Last night he asked if I wanted him to bring anything home for me. I asked for a beef chow mein not realizing how extensive their menu is as I would've tried a different kind of chow mein but that's OK. I can do that in the future. :-) He brought home leftovers of a family style meal and my chow mein. We had some kind of fried chicken pieces that had a sauce on it that was slightly spicy. I don't know what it was and he didn't remember, but it was freaking delicious! The eggrolls, crab Rangoon and potstickers were delicious even though they were a cold. The beef chow mein was so delicious, it had that old-school Chinese food flavor which I have missed, ya don't find that very much anymore. My sons and I joked its probably MSG but I really hope not. The fried rice was good too. I cannot wait to go there myself and try more dishes! The only downside is we're in San Jose and it's a 40 minute drive but it'll be worth it. Great food, low prices and large portions for the win! Thanks, red pearl!!! read more

Delicious food in the Santa Cruz mountains! We ordered their lunch specials and were pleased with our food. The eggplant dish is super yummy. read more

This was extremely delicious and fresh. Also came with a choice of soup with the lunch special. The egg flower was light and yummy. While not in Boulder Creek often, I'd go back in a heart beat. The prices are extremely reasonable. read more

The staff is warm and inviting, food is tasty and well portioned. A nice warm atmosphere with good food

Nice staff and best chinese in Boulder Creek. Some of the dishes are way too salty like the mongolian beef. Their shrimp chow mein is good and they give you a large portion. read more

Amazing gluten free menu. I ordered the chow fun, schezuan beef and fool wrapped chicken - all were amazing.

The food was amazing!! Service was fast the food was fresh and tasted incredible with delicious fried bananas for desert! Well worth the drive to Boulder Creek. The ambiance was also great, Jenny made me feel so welcomed. She talks the time to get to know her customers and welcomes feedback. This is my new go to restaurant read more

WHAT AN EXPERIENCE!!! We were visiting in town for a night and decided to give Red Pearl a visit. Jenny was soo accommodating, she stayed open late just for us and gave us recommendations as well as free soup and spring rolls! We've never received such hospitality before, We sat and enjoyed conversations with her after dinner as well! Make sure to stop by & support this joint! Our favorites: eggplant with garlic sauce, honey walnut prawns, sweet n sour fish, & king pao prawn!! read more

Placed a good sized order for dinner with my parents to pick up. First time trying this place in town and I have to say it was absolutely delicious. This is coming from someone who isn't a big fan of Chinese food and rarely eats the cuisine. Service was fast, food was hot and fresh and they were extremely kind - even gave us a handful of free items to try. They have an extensive menu and lots of veggie/vegan dishes. I also loved how we could pick and choose and take as many sauces as we'd like! read more

GREAT Food!! Warm and comfortable environment!! Staff listens and will modify a dish to a Clients taste. Clean, friendly, easy parking. read more

We've had some great Chinese food at the Red Pearl. We usually get the fried rice and cashew chicken, and the portions are very generous. Great little spot in downtown Boulder Creek with very friendly owners. read more

The Red Pearl - Orange chicken and chicken chow mein - Chinese Near Me - Boulder Creek, California

Not quite as good as it used to be (pre Covid I think) but this place is still really good and the only Chinese restaurant in the valley I will dine at. The egg foo yung is to die for. Service is always great and I can't really speak to ambiance because we've always taken out lol! We live 5 minutes away and it's so convenient on an evening I don't want to cook! read more

The food is excellent with large portions and Jenny the owner is so friendly! It's one pace you shouldn't miss!

We are so lucky to have such a great restaurant in Boulder Creek. Not only is the food reliably great, but the kind & generous owners are a big part of the soul of our mountain community. And they have a terrific web-based ordering app, so everything will be ready when you show up. Next time you're in our neck of the woods, treat yourself & tell Jenny (owner) hello & shay-shay (my way of spelling Thank You in Chinese). read more
