I came to Pearl of the Orient with high expectations, I left disappointed. The reviews seemed mostly positive, the location was very nice, and I enjoyed the setting as there are windows surrounding 50% of the wall space with a nice outdoor patio area. The food is not authentic, more American Chinese and below average American Chinese at best in my opinion. Sauces were very heavy, fried rice and lo mein dishes were very bland. Sushi was fine. Considering the cost I was expecting much better.
