Lemon chicken was so under-cooked it was pretty well raw. i had great difficulty trying to cut into it with my table knife. as soon as i put it into my mouth I could tell it was pretty well raw chicken. i called the waiter and sent it back to the kitchen. as I was having lunch with a friend... more
First time visit was very satisfactory. Restaurant was very quiet, probably normal for a Tuesday evening. Ordered the chicken in garlic sauce - very yummy! Never had anything quite like it and would definitely order it again. Singapore noodles were nicely spicy. Service was very pleasant. Washrooms were very, very clean. Staff were all scrubbing the dining room chairs and... more
Top notch service by the staff and excellent food brought hot and fresh for 16 people. Everyone at the restaurant, from the owner to cashier, where friendly and went out of their way to make our mother's 99th birthday a memorable event. The Pearl River is much more than a good place for Chinese food. Thanks.
We were visiting our daughters attending the local university, and wanted to take them out for Peking Duck dinner. After reading some reviews, we chose Pearl River.
The Peking Duck was quite good (not the best we had, which was in Beijing, China, naturally). The waiter serving us was good, and the place was clean, the decor OK and quite...

The squid came with a crispy tempura coating along with tempura onions and veggies nice touch. 9/10. Came with a pot Chinese tea for... more
The food is great!!! Also, excellent service and the owner always make us feel welcome and appreciated, and treats us like old friends.
Nice big and spacious building, suitable for small groups. Lots of items to choose from. Chinese food was all very fresh and hot and flavourful.
Pearl River is in a strip mall and easy to miss but easy to find if you have ever eaten there. Food and service is fantastic and prices a low! Food comes out hot, fast and yummy. What more could you ask!
We frequented this restaurant over the years in favour of its authenticity and value. Recently we found it to be more bland and far less authentic. Time to move on and find another gem.
Just back from holiday, needed great food, where else. Service very prompy, food prepared and served was great, ample portions and very tasty, plates were cleaned. shall return.
This restaurant is our family favorite! We each have our own fav lemon chicken Cantonese Chow Main and PARADISE SHRIMP and then you always have to try something different, David and his staff are wonderful. Make sure you have a reservation as they fill up quickly.
Have been going to this restaurant since 1980 and have never had a bad meal. Ingredients are always fresh and prepared to an individuals liking.
Hubby had been quite a few times, but I had never been here. I ordered a "Snowball" to drink because I hadn't had one since my twenties (a long time ago!). It was delicious. My favorite dish is always beef with black bean sauce and Pearl River didn't disappoint - it was great. We also had the Hoisin Chicken, which... more
I relied on reviews from Trip Advisor to find this restaurant. Boy was I pleasantly surprised. The food was fresh, delicious, plentiful and adequately priced. You could even get a bottle of wine at a reasonable price. I just found my chinese restaurant whenever I'm in Edmonton for sure.
If someone asks me to go to a chinese cuisine restaurant, I will take no risk. I have eaten at Pearl River Restaurant for 30 years. It seems that the servers and the chef have also been there for ever. They are friendly, efficient and they provide one of the most consistent service that I have experienced in the best... more
The service is very formal and attentive and the restaurant bathrooms are super clean. This is Chinese food served with forks (chopsticks on request) to the middle aged Caucasian. Everyone appeared to be enjoying their dinner and the restaurant was at least half full on a Thursday night. Classical music plays in the background. I'll rate the food very good... more
Went the family one busy Friday got the normal good food. The nice thing about this place is that you know what you are getting time after time from the standard menu. This great when you just are looking for a comfortable evening.
This is my go-to for Chinese Food! Western Chinese food, of course. Everything is very tasty and fresh! My favourite dish is the Paradise shrimp! All dishes are under $10 except for the seafood dishes which are around $13. And if you take-out you get 15% off!!! Actually, I've only ate at the restaurant twice over 4 years. And I... more
Chinese food fit for Western palates- Nothing out of the ordinary
Best Chinese Food in town (sorry David, fusion food in town). Go when David is there keeping an eye on things.
Me and my family used to go to this restaurant every year on Christmas eve. The owner, David, is very charming and will treat you well. Ask him to order for you.
