Reviews for Pearl China Restaurant in Spokane, WA
Where's the food? I walked in to the restaurant excited about a buffet and there were only like 3 dishes. The hibachi was the... only good thing to eat and it was flavorless. Saw steamed pot stickers and thought oh wow something out of a freezer, so it'ssomething they can't possibly screw up. Nope. The pot stickers were ice cold as if they just took it out of the freezer. Thebest tasting thing I had from this place was the water. Read more
Trust the recent reviews of this dying restaurant. I've been three times in the last 2 years and last Saturday will be the... final time. Had the lunch buffet, the young man on his I-phone took our money - that was the last of the customer service. Noplates cleaned away, no drinks refills. And certainly no 'how's the food'. The MMA on TV was far more important. 70% of thefood trays were empty and the rest were old and dry. In the good hour We were there, the cooks came out the kitchen one-by-oneto help themselves to food and only broccoli beef was refreshed, it was disgusting. What was once a busy-ish place had only 3tables filled. Just go elsewhere, or don't eat. Either will be better. Read more
Wow, this place used to be alright one in a while. Went for dinner with my family and service was terrible , and the food was... worse. Dried out old food, bunch of empty spots that didn?t get food. The crab they offer now is dryer that the grizwaldChristmas turkey. Sushi was hot and old, and they got rid of a bunch of items. Prices have doubled as well. Oh and they neverdid come get our used plates or refill our drinks. Almost as if the owners or employees gave up. Pretty disappointing. Read more
Came here with my family and friends yesterday and was quite displeased with my experience. While I understand that most buffets... will have some foods I don't care for, 90% of the food here was terrible. Bland, oily and old. I found maybe four dishes thatwere decent, and the other diners knew that too, because what was good was thoroughly picked through. Even the desserts werebad. Not worth the money I spent, just to go home hungry. Read more
Sorry to say this but my family and I won't ever be coming back to this place use to be our main go place for Chinese buffet,... but I don't know what what happened but food all taste like it was cooked from frozen stuff, so not worth the 50.00 I paid fordinner. Most of the food looked like it had been sitting all day. Plus now there sign up saying you can only be there for 90minutes, I ordered hot tea it was like drinking hot water gave it to my son, if I could give 0 starts I would. Read more
This place is actually a pretty great place for Chinese and even other Asian fare. They have a good selection of Sushi amongst... other really good Asian cuisine. Try the Peanut Chicken OMG! Some of the best Chinese I've ever had! I almost gave it 5 stars,but when we went the service was a bit lacking. It took forever for the server to bring us our drinks and very seldom did hecheck on us. Other than that - GREAT BUFFET! Recommended! Just don't expect class A service ;) Read more
I don?t recommend. I?m not even a picky eater and I was disappointed. I tried every dish and all of it was bland, oily, and old.... The soup was mostly oil, the sushi was without taste, and the meats were without salt. I?d skip this establishment if you?rehungry?especially since we paid 17$ a person to get in. Read more
I sure wish i could give less than one star. This place is complete garbage, not what it used to be. SAVE YOUR MONEY!!! 90% of... what they used to have is now gone. No crab legs and one type of shrimp. the buffet is now just about all fruits and veggiesthat look like they have been out for days, they have one small section of food that isn't fruits or veggies the grab they didhave was discolored and mushy no flavor. the one thing they did have that was good was the "special chicken" but in the entirehour we were there they didn't fill it up, I took the last few small pieces when we first got there and it stayed empty afterthat. The fish was discolored, mushy and tasted like they cooked it in pond water with no seasoning. the soup was just oily hotwater. the shrimp was mushy and flavorless, everything good about this place is now gone, this place just needs to be shutdown!!! save your time and money and go somewhere else for dinner. no wonder there were only 2 other families there on aSaturday night.
