Always a 5 for customer service, food is usually 3.9 to 4.5 depending on the day, but today was an easy FIVE STARS! Fresh ingredients, attention to detail (I'm a picky eater)and flavors were on point. I had been craving orange chicken, and second guessed myself, but I'm glad I ordered. The food was excellent today!

  • Logan Shelton

Table service was good, but the food is catered toward American customsrs rather than Chinese customers. For example: the noodles in won ton soup are top ramen instead of egg noodle. Also, the walnut shrimp was rather dissapointing they were too chewy. The dough was thick. Its okay priced for South San Jose though.

I love Pearl River!!! They never disappoint me with their food. I've been coming to this restaurant since I was 5 years old. I have so many memories there and it has definitely changed it's exterior and interior. But one thing that hasn't changed is their quality and for that reason I always come back!!!

So sick of places like these using promotional deal websites to get attention, only to inform a customer that they aren't actually participating, after they've driven out of their way to get there. Not paying their full price just to discover the food is probably almost as bad.

  • Richard Lee

A beautiful, elegantly adorned space, with a full menu of traditional Chinese dishes, tasty and with the level of spice adjustable to your taste upon request. Service is respectful, food is ready quickly. Definitely a place for a fast, delicious meal with no shortcuts taken.

  • Carol Heiderich

Very disappointed, no flavor. Ordered war wanton soup, looked good, but the broth was water not even salt. Sweet and sour pork, no veggies or sauce and cold and incredibly bland. It was expensive and honestly, I should have returned the entire meal. Never again, seriously!!!

  • Vanessa Rodriguez

Me and my family have been eating here for yrs. Because they are not open for dine due to pandemic, we been ordering takeout. We order the 1 combination plate which comes with fried rice, chow mein, wonton soup and sweet sour pork. Really good and tasty. A definate must try

  • Violet Wren

I love Pearl Rivers pork fried rice!. I can't find the rice emoji!. Anyway the rice tastes exactly the same as the Chinese Restaurant I ate at for special occasions as a kid!! . Very consistent and it brings back good memories! So

  • bartika dutta

We were hankering for Chinese food and I am glad we came across this place. This restaurant is focused on making good food. The hot and sour soup was thick and filled with mushrooms, tofu, and prawns and the chicken fried rice was delicious! More

We have been eating at Pearl River since the '90s. Their food is always hot, fresh and delicious. They offer delivery service, which always beats their promised time. They must be famous for their giant eggrolls by now. They are so big that

  • Jamie Houck

Coming from Chicago, I noticed West Coast does not offer "Lo Mein" but Pearl has something comparable. My hubby wasn't 100% blown away by it. But I LOVE the fried rice, best I've ever had along with the egg rolls...different but delicious!

  • Leilani Tevaseu

Very clean and set up is really nice. Our waitress was very informative and very tentative. We ordered the #3 dinner special. For two people we got soup, 2 appetizers, 2 entrees and 2 sides. All for $17 per person. Everything was delicious

  • Paul H

The food is hearty, delicious, and affordable. Unfortunately, their sanitization practices are iffy at best. Their cashier, who handles cash, is the same person who handles the napkins and unwrapped plastic utensils for all to go orders.

  • Shannon Haws

Wanted hot & sour soup and this is close to home. We ordered a few of our favorites. The soup is bland and needs more vinegar. Really enjoyed the pork fried rice. The flavor of the orange chicken is good, but soggy texture. Egg rolls are

  • martine mijares

first time I've been to this restaurant. Very disappointed. The food was dry, quantity was very minimal. I had the house fried rice, beef in oyster sauce, chicken with broccoli, and the walnut shrimp. I would not go back to this place!!!

  • Vincent Pham

The food was mediocre american chinese food as others had pointed out. The portions were filling but weren't anything special. The service was below par and cleanliness was lacking. The restaurant seems to be confused as to what their

I can't handle onions nor shellfish and they made all my items fresh just for me. The wait was definitely worth the ability to digest my food without any allegic reactions, and all 8 dishes ordered were absolutely perfect! More

  • Evergrey Lokadottr

The staff were nice and attentive, and the space was nice. Sadly, the Imperial Chicken was incredibly bland. No salt, no spices, as far as I could tell. No chopsticks set out, only forks, and no hot tea when you sit down.

  • Biplab Roy

Today we went there for the 1st time and ordered Wor Won Ton Soup, Pork Bun, Spicy garlic chicken and Singapore noodles. The soup was nearly OK, nothing special. However, the Singapore noodles and

Best Chinese Food in Blossom Valley. Highly recommend this long established restaurant. Take out for pick up or delivery is quick and served hot, wrapped well. Generous portions. Friendly staff.

  • Twinklestarang

Love the food! Always friendly and fast! The bar connected is great! Love all the regulars! Thursday night karaoke is fun and party all night long on Friday and Saturday to the old school jams.

  • Kat Reviews

Order pickup and there was the longest hair in it. I'm done giving them chances. They rude they never swap out their soy sauce ( poured it, and it had a fly in it) (before covid).
