China Pearl is the closest takeout place to my house so I've eaten their food numerous times. It's really pretty good. The egg rolls are decent, not the best I've ever had but fairly tasty. The dumplings are good. The egg foo young is good. The tangerine and orange chicken is good. The fried rice is good. I usually get veggie fried rice and I wish it had water chestnuts and really just more vegetables - the diced carrots and peas seem so \"frozen food.\" Load it up with mushrooms, pea pods, bok choy, broccoli, etc. \n\nOn the plus side, I recently ordered shrimp fried rice - and it was really loaded with tasty shrimp. So, kudos!\n\nI had been a big fan of their lo mein soft noodles but the last time I ordered the noodles, they came with long pieces of essentially raw carrot mixed in that got stuck in my teeth and made it hard to swallow the noodles. It was a bit strange. I couldn't get a nice forkful of noodle deliciousness without crunching or being stabbed by the raw carrot slices. Even though the noodle taste was delicious I ended up tossing my takeout container because the texture made it inedible. \n\nI do like their service, always very friendly, courteous and fast. It's a pretty good neighborhood \"divey\" Chinese takeout place. It does have tables and you can eat in but it's usually deserted. Most people get takeout or delivery.\n\nThey close at 9 so this is not a late night place.
