Loved the take out food delivered
last evening on Door Dash. I especially loved the dim sum - homemade steamed pork wontons! I also thought cashew chicken to be delicious with fresh products! The Mongolian beef not as good for me, nor the sesame noodles appetizer! It came hot. Probably from resting beneath a hot dish during the transport? Too much sauce in cold noodles, noodles over
Cooked. I will try them again because they are affordable use fresh products and most of their items delivered were amazing Chinese foods for the Buffalo Area! Will try a second time for
Sure!

Up until this evening this was my favorite go to place for ordering out. It is very out of the way for my family to go but we love their food. I placed our order and my daughter picked it up. The pork in the lo mien was raw. The shrimp egg rolls had so much pepper we could not eat them either. I called to let the restaurant know. I did tell the lady that answered the phone that that they were my favorite place and I came from a good distance. Also specifically that I was not looking for a refund but I was not expecting her completely uncaring, flippant attitude. I simply got an ok I’ll let the

Eastern Pearl was one of my favorite restaurants. They served relatively authentic Chinese food. Last time I ordered from them was 2 months ago. I ordered 3 dishes tonight. However, I was very surprised and disappointed that all 3 dishes were not as good as before. The Roasted duck was not well cooked and too chewy. Teriyaki beef pearl was too sweet and too much sticky sauce. Singapore Chow Mei Fun was too salty and wet. Much, much worse than just 2 months ago :(…I am not sure whether I’ll order from them again. Should I wait for another 2 months and try again?

Eastern Pearl is an excellent Cantonese restaurant on Maple Rd., just East of the UB North campus. If you stick to the classic Cantonese dishes on the menu, you won't be disappointed with the food. Initially, we were hoping there was going to be Dim Sum service (based on the photos on Google), but it turns out to be just a few Dim Sum dishes (hand-made) available as appetizers. The service at the restaurant is Westernized, so you don't have to worry about your non-Asian friends getting offended by the typical Asian restaurant service. Dining area is quite large and there is space for private parties

Pleasantly surprised by my experience. While there wasn't much revealing or impressive about the exterior, the interior was fairly modern, dark-hued, Chinese-themed classy and comfortable decor. Fairly well-rounded menu with traditional Chinese dishes, apps, entrees and specials, limited dim sum, soups, a few curries and even pad thai. Seared Ahi tuna steak was fantastic (if covered in a little too much sweet sauce), Malaysian yellow curry with ample crab and shrimp was enjoyable and the lo mein was delicious. AllVery friendly and accommodating staff. Looking forward to going back when I'm in the

Absolutely delicious. Service was fast and friendly. Food came out extremely quickly and was very hot and obviously all of the vegetables were fresh and cut right before being put into our dishes. The decor is gorgeous inside and the doors to get inside are ornate and let you know you're in for an experience. Everything was clean and again the staff was awesome. I don't think I've ever had an easier or quicker experience at a nice sit down restaurant. This restaurant is quite a ways from where I live but I'd be willing to come back again and not just when I happen to be in the area.

Our favorite place to eat Chinese food. It has never disappointed us in food quality. The General Tsaos is a tad spicy for the wife so I suffered through it. 😀. The Mongolian Duo ( chicken and beef) was perfectly seasoned and had a great mixture of vegetables( onion, peppers, carrots) Both meals were enough to share with another person. So we will have the left overs for lunch tomorrow. I suggest the hot and sour soup. It was the best I ever had last visit.
