" I've been here twice now, and each time the experience has been fantastic! The duck and the BBQ pork taste like they’re straight out of a Cantonese kitchen, simply delicious. The staff is friendly and always willing to help with recommendations, which I find comforting. The family-style dining allows you to try a bit of everything! I would recommend arriving early if you’re coming during the peak hours to avoid long waits; otherwise, the food is well worth it. I’m a very satisfied customer and will definitely return! " (*Curated Review*)

" East Pearl was a delightful surprise! The restaurant had a friendly vibe that made the dining experience enjoyable. I was particularly impressed by the crab dishes which were incredibly fresh and well-prepared. They even have a gluten-free section on the menu which is fantastic for those with dietary restrictions. Although the restaurant can get crowded, the service remained pleasant and timely. If authentic Cantonese and various seafood dishes are what you're after, this spot should be on your list. I can't wait to share my experience with friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a wonderful dinner at East Pearl last week. The restaurant radiates a busy, welcoming atmosphere that immediately makes you feel at home. I ordered the seafood combination, and it was fresh and deliciously seasoned. However, I did find that the dish could have benefitted from larger portion sizes, especially for the price. The service, while friendly, was really slow that evening due to the huge crowd. Nevertheless, I look forward to going back and exploring more of their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had heard about East Pearl from friends and decided to try it out for a family dinner. I was impressed by the extensive menu which made it hard to choose, but we went with the BBQ combo as a starter. While the flavors were good, I was surprised by the portion size, which felt a bit lacking for the price. Our main dishes included crispy beef, seafood noodles, and a tofu dish that was surprisingly tasty! The atmosphere was lively but also quite cozy, making it a nice place to unwind. I do wish the service could’ve been a bit faster, as we had to wait longer than expected for our food. If you're in the mood for authentic Cantonese flavors, I can definitely recommend giving this place a shot. " (*Curated Review*)

" Having been a fan of Chinese food for a long time, I must say that East Pearl has earned its place as a top favorite! The various seafood dishes we sampled were fresh and flavorful, and the fried rice was addictively delicious! The atmosphere was warm and bustling, which only added to the charm of the experience. The service was generally good, but sometimes I felt they were overwhelmed. It's a small critique, though, as the quality of the food makes it worth your while to stay patient. I highly recommend trying out their signature dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" East Pearl has become one of my go-to spots for Chinese food. The ambiance really transports you, and it feels like you’re dining in Hong Kong! I am a sucker for their dim sum and fried rice—the flavors are phenomenal and the freshness is commendable. The only downside has been the fluctuating service levels; sometimes they have it together, other times they're a bit scattered. But for the amazing food, I can overlook that. Give it a shot if you're in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" The food at East Pearl is genuinely impressive and surpasses the expectations I had based on previous visits! I ordered the kalbi, and honestly, it was one of the best I’ve had in a while, with beautiful caramelization. The seating can be a bit cramped, but it didn’t take away from the experience. The servers were fast with drinks but the food took a little longer than I'd hoped. Overall, I can confidently say this restaurant will remain on my list, especially for special occasions.
