This was the closest Chinese restaurant I could find after my peaceful spa massage. The moment I got to Pearl of the Orient though, I could tell by the designs that this wasn't a super authentic Chinese restaurant.. it had a bit of an American fusion into it. But the restaurant is really big and clean and even has an outdoor patio!
My waitress wasn't the best. First, she seemed like she was soooo busy but she only had me and another table to serve (and i was by myself). It took her awhile before she asked me what I wanted to order. And, sometimes she'll ask me a question (do you want more water? do you want something else to drink) as she's walking to her other table, instead of actually stopping to ask what i want. Either way, I was okay with it because I wanted it to be a short dinner anyhow.
I ordered the Seafood Trio and it came out in like 2 minutes which I felt kind of suspicious. The sauce was good but it was really salty and there were way too much of the sauce on my dish. Then, some of my seafood were a bit cold, almost like it was frozen seafood that didn't fully heat up in the saucepan when they served it to me.
This place is a tad disappointing because the owner seemed like a really nice guy but it isn't an authentic restaurant to go to. I would come back for a quick bit to eat or for a quick drink, but not to expect an authentic restaurant though. The price was always a bit expensive for the quality and quantity compared to other local Chinese restaurants
