Honestly I will not be back. We decided to eat in and there were too many red flags from the get go. First red flag was the restroom, which is in poor shape and in need of a desperate remodel and cleaning (including the toilet which had a strong brown ring around it). Second red flag was when my boiling hot soup was brought out in a plastic bowl. Not one of those thick cheaper plastic bowls but the meal prep cheap black bowls. This is the ick factor that will not bring me back. So. Much. Plastic. All utensils, my plastic bowl, and the plates. A couple of paper plates. I was really shocked given that we were eating IN at this restaurant, that this is what our food was served in. The food was a little bland for my taste. Some might like it but I've had better. Prices were average. I gave them two stars because the guy was really nice, helpful, and courteous. And I like that you aren't being waited on.

Blossom hill location was pretty good, so I stopped in and gave this place a try. Walked in and saw people using solo red cups and a two liter for dine in and instantly should have known to leave, but I gave it a try. I should have went with my instincts the Pork won Ton soup was terrible absolutely terrible. And pick which restaurant you wanna be, don't be both or any if the other food tastes like this. Avoid eating here gross food and overpriced.

My bf and I needed to make a quick decision on where to get dinner and he suggested this place as he had been there years ago. Normally I would never try a new to me restaurant with such a low yelp rating but this wasn't a night where I could spend 30 mins looking at yelp for the best option so I didn't even check. When I looked later I was shocked that we had eaten t a place with a 3 star average rating?! Normally high 3's is my absolute floor.3 is a fair rating for our experience but I'm glad I didn't see the average rating before we ate our food, I would've been scared. Food was fine. Prices were ok. It was ready when they said it would be. I probably wouldn't go back though. We ordered honey walnut shrimp, Mongolian beef, and white rice. The shrimp was tasty but very heavy on the breading. Beef was also tasty but very heavy on the veggies which is fine, but that resulted in a quite skimpy beef portion which is not fine. Restaurant location is confusing. There are signs outside for 2 different restaurants. Staff and every customer inside were all Hispanic so I was confused and thought we went in the wrong door, but no, it was the right place and the food was your typical American Chinese food. I'm guessing someone bought the pearl river restaurant and added another restaurant in the same space like a ghost kitchen or something, idk. Very odd.

Would you eat Chinese at a place with few Chinese?Pearl River is one mile from my wife's cousin's house in predominately white Willow Glen. Cousins are white.Wife's cousin never ate at Chinese restaurants, as her husband didn't like Chinese food, let alone Thai food, nor Indian food in the 40 years lived on Lincoln Ave in Willow Glen. We got takeout for the cousin, after her husband passed away 1 month short of his 90th birthday.$12.95 Won ton soup-comes with huge slices of pork, chicken and won ton, would order again.$15.95 Mongolian beef-relatively bland with zucchini, green bell peppers, lots of slices of beef and mushrooms. Not enough white onions, green onions, red chilis, would not order again. Probably catered to the predominately white neighborhood. $14.95 Kung pao chicken- decent amount of chicken, green bell peppers, celery and bamboo shoots. Could be spicier with too few red chilis. Steamed rice cooked perfectly, not too watery.$13.95 Mushu Pork nice blend of scrambled egg, pork, bamboo shoots, with decent wraps sturdy enough to hold the food.Can't blame the cousin's husband for not eating Chinese food for 40 years, if he missed Pearl River.New management wouldn't accept a restaurant.com voucher but said the voucher might be good at the Blossom Hill location. Would have gotten lost if I tried to find that restaurant.

I had chosen this spot because I didn't want Panda Express. I wanted something authentic. My husband and myself went for dine in. I'll start off with the good, the chop suey was delicious! I liked how many options there was, but we were confused because there was menus In front of us that weren't Chinese food. Well we got our food good portions. The food was really bland and not hot even though we were like the only ones in there. My husband was very disappointed with his plate. What made me give this plate a one star was the SERVICE! The Asian guy and Colombian girl that were there, were very rude. The girl only came to get our orders and that's it. We had to flag them down or get our own stuff because they had only given us 1 menu and 2 napkins. The drinks came with red plastic cups! WTH ! I felt I was at a bbq at home. We ask for more napkins, spoons, and a plate and the girl just ignored us. The girl and guy were up at the register just all up on each other! I think they were boyfriend and girlfriend. The service they gave was horrible got mad because we needed a minute to look at the menu. The girl would stay staring at the guy when he'd help a female customer. To top it off they don't let you know but they automatically charge you a service fee! I have never been to a place that chargers you a service fee, and for 2 people! The guy didn't want to give me my receipt but said if you dine in automatic charge because we're servicing you. In my head I was like I didn't want the attitude and slow service... but that's what your charging me for and giving me a red plastic cup was so ghetto but had the nerve to charge a service fee without putting a sign up! Paid 4$ in taxes and 5$ in service fee for a service I didn't receive! Plus I went home and had the runs !

TK Noodle does not accept cards and Samkee was too far. I try to not use DoorDash much so this was the best option last Friday. I called ahead to place my order. The gal that took my phone was friendly, courteous, and thorough. She got my order and repeated it. I was quoted 20 min. Gavin and I arrived early so the wait is expected. The gal rang me up and went to the back to confirm my chow fun was to be made gravy-style. I did ask for onions, beef, noodles, and bean sprouts only. It was made w/ black bean sauce. Very good. The fried rice was a tad salty in my eyes, but that is just my preference. It was good and it tasted even better the next day after a workout. I would skip the golden nuggets. It looks like crab Rangoon but w/ pork filling and sweet and sour sauce. Just order the crab Rangoon. Liked that they offered great and inexpensive lunch specials. Parking was easy. The food was great and the service was amazing. I'd come back! I do not know if this place is affiliated w/ the other location on Blossom Hill, but both are good and consistent w/ taste and quality.

This is the first time we tried them, and we are definitely coming back. They are less expensive as others we have tried yet way better. Food isn't overly seasoned yet good, and you get tons for the price. We fed 4 people with very hearty appetites and had tons left over. We will definitely be coming back.

For those who know me, you know that I hate, hate, hate giving bad reviews. there is enough negativity out there that I do not have to add to it. Plus, previous reviewers have done a good job of warning folks.But . . . Okay, so the first thing is that when I walked in, there were fries and ketchup on one of the tables. Cool, cool, cool. This could be one of those Chinese places that serves everything from breakfast to late-night grub. Mmmmm. Not really.Okay, so I ordered mushu chicken and sauteed broccoli. Both were just fine, but not all that flavorful. Food seems like "Chinese food for non-Chinese folks, which in this area seems unnecessary and a missed opportunity because there is not much in the way of Chinese food out this way. I was disappointed, to say the least. I think the worst part was that the place seemed genuinely and visibly dirty. Heading back to the bathroom may have been a mistake. Now, don't get me wrong, I do love a good hole-in-the-wall place, and I have been in my share of Chinese restaurant back areas, so the fact that this place gave me pause should tell you something.To give a single start for me means "never ever again," but in a pinch, I might come by for takeout something, but ONLY in a pinch, and I won't be going to the bathroom.

What an amazing experience! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed by the friendly staff. The service was impeccable--quick and efficient. As for the food, it was a flavor explosion. The kung pao chicken was the perfect balance of sweet and spicy, while the dim sum was light and delicious. The restaurant's ambiance made me feel like I had stepped into another world with its soft lighting, decorative lanterns, and calming traditional music. A delightful outing!

Please do not eat here. Ordered 2 wonton soups and pork fried rice. First, they gave us CHICKEN fried rice instead of pork. The rice was undercooked and so salty. In some bites all I could taste was onion.The wonton soup hardly had any meat in it.. the noodles were not cooked through all the way and it was also very salty. The meat also had a funky after taste. Was NOT a fan. I know people mentioned there was no flavor and bland but c'mon... LAY OFF THE SALT. ANDDDDD... worst of all.. we did not get any fortune cookies... how dare they.
