Pearls

Great value for lunch around this neighborhood! It is not Chinatown quality but it is Chinatown priced. I had the spicy beef with peppers, and it was not as Americanized. I waked in hungry and walked out full and wallet still in tact…

Great for fast and cheap delivery. They are on Seamless, so super easy to order.
Dinner specials include rice, soup and roll for $ 7 and change.
Food is good, great for price and convenience.
They always get your order right, and the delivery guy is very nice.
My favorite quick Chinese delivery in midtown.

Awesome and cheap (American) Chinese food! I ordered a quart of egg drop corn soup for $ 4.50 (such a great deal, considering that most midtown places charge $ 6 for a dinky container of soup). The large soup is definitely a great deal. Get that.
Granted, my egg drop soup had 5 kernels of corn, but it was still warm and delicious. Exactly what I had needed. Next time I would probably insert a note with my order asking for more corn.
My officemates ordered traditional Chinese-​American foods, such as pan fried noodles, dumplings, eggrolls, etc. The restaurant got a bit lazy and combined the dishes with the sauces into one container (normally restaurants will separate the main ingredients and the sauces so that the food doesn’t get soggy). No complaints though, because we still devoured the food before it had a chance to get soggy.
Even though we had ordered lunch on an early Saturday afternoon when no one else was working, delivery was ahead of the schedule as listed on Seamless. Great news for starving employees.
PS. The restaurant offers a lunch special on weekends! It’s awesome if you’re working on the weekend and need to get your money’s worth.

We were craving some Chinese delivery the other night, and after a horrid experience at Mee, we decided to give Pearls a go. Their Seamlessweb menu was expansive AND inexpensive.
The Fantastic — The black bean sauce with my pork was excellent. Hooray for MSG.
The Average — The pork was a little tough, but it had decent flavor. The rice was also OK.
The Horrid — My egg roll was like rawhide. Ugh. I’ll try something else next time.
While I wasn’t blown away, it definitely hit the spot and we’ll order again in the future when this particular itch needs to be scratched.

Waited about 15 minutes and didn’t get correct order. Asked for shrimp dumpling noodle soup and got pork. Noodles were soggy.
