Pearl East

"The restaurant makes tasty Chinese. However, the food came out one dish at a time, often with long waits in between dishes. They clearly prioritize take-out. I would not recommend sitting at a table."

"Amazing food! They are really great at making food efficiently and delicious. Gone here several times and it has been consistent throughout"

"Went here for an early dinner with my sister while visiting Stamford. Mask requirements have been reduced and the staff stayed masked during this visit. Having grown up in Chinatown NY, I thought the food was well made and tasty. Although the entree portions were in line with Western restaurant portions, they were smaller than what I am used to in NYC prior to the pandemic. Still, the service was good, the food was made quickly, tasty and worth the cost IMHO. I'd easily recommend this pleasant oasis of well made Chinese food."

"We had dinner and found COCKROACH in one of our favorite dish, Peking style pork chop. We used to love Pearl East so much that came for lunch and dinner quite often. But this time the cockroach shocked us. We found a cockroach in the middle of the dish after we had eaten a few pieces on top of it. We reported it immediately and the general manager said she could offer a replacement for the dish. We didn't want to eat anything in the restaurant anymore because we were not sure the safety and hygiene of other dishes. We asked for waive the meal, after a while, she approved it. We wanted to talk to the owner about the hygiene issue and the general manager claimed she is the owner at the meantime. She said it's common to see cockroach in restaurant and it happened in the past. Besides, she mentioned that in the past there were some NICE customers who insisted to pay for the full meal when they found cockroach while the restaurant offered them to waive the meal. Does it mean we are not NICE customer because we asked to waive the meals. We asked them what they can do with the situation? The general manager who claimed she is the owner said they could do nothing. We hope they can realize it's unacceptable to find cockroach in food when serving customers especially during pandemic HYGIENE is the most important thing. Cockroach carries diseases. PLEASE clean your kitchen properly and the entire restaurant."

"Some authentic Chinese dishes as well as Americanized dishes. All the dishes that I have tried have been very good to excellent tasting. They serve large portions. The staff remembers their customers and makes you feel welcome."
