Reviews for Asian Pearl Chinese Restaurant in Clearwater, FL

Wow. Where to begin. Well, I?ve been obsessed with Chinese food for as long as I can remember. I?ve ordered it at least once... a week for the good part of a decade. I didn?t realize how good I had it when I lived up north?. I moved to Florida in 2015 andbegan my weekly ordering of Chinese food and was sadly let down. I asked locals consistently for recommendations only to be letdown every single time and not even find ONE place that was somewhat PASSABLE. Mostly I?d end up just dumping my entire mealout after a bite. I?m not kidding?. I tried a specific place on Park Blvd that everyone seems to rent and rave about and gaveit 3 attempts since it came so highly regarded but I was let down every time?? here we are after 7 years and I have FINALLYfound the best Chinese food I?ve had since I lived up north. The crab Rangoons were actually the best I?ve EVER had, the sesamechicken tied with my 2 favourite places back home, the egg drop soup was, well, egg drop soup, it was warm and delicious but notgonna rant and rave about it. The Jasmine tea was a lovely/delicious and warming ending. My toddler throughly enjoyed it andhe?s is THE PICKIEST kid you will probably ever meet. Words cannot even describe how happy and grateful I am to be able toenjoy AMAZING Chinese food again. I?m excited just thinking about having it again! We ate inside the restaurant itself. Theplace is big, orderly and very clean. The staff was very friendly and service was excellent. We drove 40 mins out of our wayto try it and let me tell you, I?d drive even further, that?s how good it was. Read more

This is our 2nd time here and both times have been fabulous. The 1st time my husband had the beef with ginger scallion and I had... the chicken curry. This time my husband had the honey walnut shrimp and I had the orange beef. We started with egg rollsappetizer. Best egg roll I've had. We always have a ton of leftovers. I love how they place all the food in the middle familystyle and give everyone a plate and dig in! Our dishes always come with a side of white rice and the orange beef and honeywalnut shrimp came with a side of broccoli. The prices are great for how much food you get. The servers are always so nice andthe place is always really clean. I like this place way better than PF Changs. This is now our go to Chinese restaurant. Read more

Customer service was great. Took several attempts and rings to answer; however, pleased with the ability to swap out vegetables... in one of the entrees - 4 stars Spring rolls were meh. Lacked flavor and were greasy - 2 stars Egg rolls were just ok. Betterthan the spring rolls, but not flavorful and lacked substance - 2.5 stars General Tao?s chicken was good, not like I am usedto. The breading was very sweet, like a fritter almost. Also wasn?t as spicy as I like - 3 stars Kung Pao chicken was decent.Zucchini in the entree was terrible and not like I am used to. Made the dish very watery. Also not very spicy - 3 stars Overallnot completely displeased, but I probably wouldn?t return. If I did, I?d try something else on the menu. Read more

When we got there nobody said hi. There was only one table with people eating. The place look kind of sad. So when they... finally talk to us gave us a paper menu which is fine. We took the food to go. The chicken wings had onions and garlic. We didn't like that. The rice was not all that. It was pricey. Read more

I had an excellent meal here last month. I had plum wine, small Shanghai dumpling, and honey walnut shrimp. I was very hungry... and finished them all! The dumplings were small but full of flavor. The sauce on the honey walnut shrimp was balanced, not toomuch mayo and not too sweet. I also appreciated the shrimp and broccoli ratio. The service was good as well. I can't believeI've waited so long to try this place, I'll have to come back to try their other dishes. Read more

We drove 15 miles twice to eat at this place. Their food is amazing and reasonably priced. You got to definitely try their beef... dishes they are so good.We tried their crispy coconut milk balls which we never had before and was mindblown. We had them thereand took takeout too ???? There are a lot of tasty vegetarian options too . I love this place and will definitely go back . Read more

Definitely delicious food and efficient service. Everything we tried was very good. My wife IS NOT a fan of Chinese food but she... enjoyed the wonton soup, steamed vegetables and the seafood fried rice with XO sauce, it was outstanding! My eggrolls werecrispy with fresh filling. The general Tso chicken had nice white meat chunks with a light batter and a nice spicy/sweet sauce.Living in Dunedin we really can't find good Chinese restaurants, so a quick trip I to Clearwater is definitely worth it!

We are so glad that we went here. It was nice to find a Chinese Restaurant with their focus being table service. The food was... delicious and fresh. We had been looking for ?Soup Dumplings? and found them here called ?Shanghai Dumplings?. I understand nowthat this is probably the correct name for them but only by reading another review did we know to look here. The wait staff wasvery helpful with explaining the menu items to us but I wish that their online menu was better. If you are feeling adventurous(read: Try at your own risk) then try the Jellyfish Salad. I don?t remember ever seeing it on any other menu. It was fantasticwith pickled radish and carrot slivers.
