Congratulations on 20 years in Haddonfield! Never disappointed whether we eat in or take out. Sushi is off the hook, pun intended. I especially like that they don’t skimp on the sushi portions. Keep up the great job George, Guiqin Li and family.

Last time I ordered here they gave me smoked salmon in a salmon avocado roll and it was inedible. There are usually several problems with our order but it’s close and not overly expensive.

Woof New Jersey. We were visiting a friend in Haddonfield and we decided to all order in from Oriental Pearl. Mind you, my expectations were already a bit low and somehow this place manages to still disappoint. In terms of delivery, it was swift and easy, which we appreciated. Admittedly we ordered a lot of items: — Veggie Lo Mein — Veggie Moo Shoo — Sesame Chicken — Fried Rice — Cold Noodles — Spicy Tuna Sushi — Tuna Shashimi All the portions were enormous and I was a bit thrown off my the cheap prices(versus NYC). My biggest qualm was that when we went to pick up the items, we were informed that there was«no space on the stove top to cook the tuna». We were a bit confused as to why«cooking» and«sashimi» would be in the same sentence but we decided to let it fly. It was just frustrating to find this out when we got to the restaurant as this was someone’s meal. After calling back home and putting in a new order, we were all set. I honestly just thought they were a bit disorganized about the whole situation.

The food here is pretty good and they have quite the variety of food from Thai to Japanese to Chinese. I would definitely recommend the Cream Cheese Wontons, Kung Pao Chicken, and the Pad Thai. My only complaint and the reason why I gave their 3-star review is the fact they are overpriced. I wish I didn’t have to break the bank in order to feed myself.

My absolute favorite Chinese restaurant. I have been coming here since I was a little kid. It is a great BYOB. They always have fresh food and great specials. There combination platters are my favorite, I definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a Chinese place to dine in

Oriental Pearl is my favorite Chinese restaurant ever! So much so that I eat here multiple times a week :) The staff is very friendly and accommodating to my every wish. The plates are also very large. I normally go home with a doggy bag. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone in the mood for some great Asian food and the freshest sushi around!

I never miss a chance to go here, it’s a big, open area with tons of options and very nice staff. Some of the best Chinese food in the area, and without a doubt the best General Tsos chicken I’ve ever had — ever. It comes out with a ton of sauce(that I like to mix into my rice), as well as a generous portion of steamed vegetables. I’d also recommend the wanton soup, orange chicken and mongolian beef, but really, you can’t go wrong. I’ve taken a LOT of out of towners here, and I grew up in town so I’ve been going here as long as I can remember, and I honestly can’t remember anyone being displeased with what they’ve had. I usually rotate through the same five or so dishes, but decided to get the sushi one night. What an awesome surprise — just as good as most other sushi places in the area, and probably much cheaper. Sushi is now in my rotation, as well. It’s in a family town, so expect to see a lot of kids in there. However, it’s just as open to dates, groups of friends and basically anyone you’d want to bring in and enjoy some great food at a decent price. It’s also BYO, so have some saki while you’re at it.

The crispy appetizers which I have never found anywhere else are so tasty. I always order the General Tso’s chicken because it’s AMAZING!!! I live in LA and when I come back to visit this is a required visit. And the owners are super friendly!

A while back, I decided that I wanted to name my first child Yul Brenner. My wife would not let me. My soul was crushed. For the next three years, my was devoid of meaning. But, after I stepped foot into Oriental Pearl for the first time, everything changed for the better. That pit of despair in my heart was replaced by a crispy order of scallion pancakes. An ulcer of contempt was cured by a healthy portion of saucy Mongolian beef. And when I saw that Oriental Pearl uses fresh veggies in their dishes, and not some slop from a can, I let go of all of the regret that had been eating away at me. Some people go to therapy and some go to church. I, however, just order chicken with cashews and a pint of shrimp fried rice.(Which, by the way, is loaded with big shrimp!) Everybody knows that I don’t use the word salvation loosely, so believe me when I say that Oriental Pearl will save your soul.

For the portion size, price and flavor it was honestly a disappointment. I was excited to try it. I won’t go back… :-(

Great Chinese food and expertly-prepared fresh sushi. The prices for the food are what I would expect given the location.

We totally enjoy this restaurant. Been going there for years and it’s consistently wonderful every time. Not only is the food excellent, but the staff is too. We have small children and this is their favorite restuarant.

This is a really great Chinese restaurant(I haven’t had their non-Chinese food offerings). The ingredients are fresh and they use only white-meat chicken. I take out more than I eat in, but the food is good regardless. The owner, Henry, is super friendly.

I love this restaurant. It is consistently delicious and great waitresses. The owner is always friendly and remembers you. They have the best light, fluffy, delish and never greasy won tons. Lunch specials are tasty, well-priced and quick. Shrimp are always fresh. Spring rolls are the best I’ve ever had. I’m not a sushi person but my daughter says its wonderful and fresh. Definitely give this restaurant a try. Not your run of the mill Chinese place!

My friend suggested the Oriental Pearl because I was craving«a good egg roll». I am so happy she did so. I got a fantastic egg roll, a tuna roll and an avacado roll. The egg roll was fresh and hot, crispy on the outside, but not mushy on the inside. The tuna and avacado were fresh and plentiful. In fact, I it took at least two bites to eat each piece. The staff was friendly and very attentive. Our waters were never empty and we were treated with courtesy and respect from the hello when we entered to a ‘have a good night’ when we left. I will be frequenting this place more often.

We usually don’t like to dine at Asian restaurants that serve multi-cuisine(Chinese/Japanese/Thai, etc.) because more often than not, one of the cuisines usually takes a hit on the sucky-ness scale.(usually the sushi). Well, we make an exception for the Oriental Pearl because they serve good, Chinese-American food. The Chinese food is ‘clean’(not greasy), sits well on my stomach, comes in nice size portions and they offer brown rice. We also like a few of the Vietnamese and Thai items… but I do think they do Chinese the best. We have never had the Sushi and probably won’t. They do a booming take-out business as well, keeping the chef/cooks busy(which then sometimes slows down the service in the dining room). Tonight I had the ‘Oriental Pearl Lemon Grass chicken/beef/shrimp sautee’ with brown rice and veggies, it was very good. Next time I will ask them to make it more spicier. Kate had the Pork w/pineapple entrée, she enjoyed it. As always, our water glasses are continuously refreshed throughout the meal. The prices are reasonable. I would say that the OP is a consistently solid, 3.5 star spot and we enjoy coming here to eat.

This was our second stop on the hunt for the«most acceptable» Chinese in the Haddonfield area. Much better than the first. I do have one caveat, this is not a Chinese take out joint. Its an Asian restaurant that offers takeout along with its large dining room service. When we got there it was very busy with both a seated and take out service. That said: The Vietnamese spring rolls were super, crisp and ungreasy, would have been good to have some Vietnamese dipping sauce. The hot and sour soup was good, hot, not sour, lots of egg ribbons, little pork shreds or moer. Pork lo men was good, a nice balance of noodles and sauce with a coated pork slice. General Tso was also good with chunk chicken pieces in a lightish sauce and a nice mix of broccoli. I’d prefer a bit crunchier batter but this wasn’t bad. As we had an extra diner in this test, we ordered the Chicken with broccoli in a garlic sauce. Not bad. We walked in on a restaurant managers disaster night, lots of unanticipated patrons. They seemed to be a bit flustered but handled it professionally. Overall I had a good impression of the place and look forward to a second round of sampling.

I like this place. It’s your typical Chinese restaurant, but its very clean and the the wait staff are very friendly and accommodating. So far I’ve eaten Chinese and sushi here, but I will stick with the Chinese from now on. The sushi wasn’t bad but it’s not great. Last night I ordered the teryaki chicken, which came out on a sizzling, bubbling skillet with two(count ‘em, two!) grilled chicken breasts, onions, carrots and some broccoli for garnish. It also came with rice, soup and salad. It was way more than I can put down so now I have lunch for today. And it was very reasonably priced considering how much I got. My bf got mango chicken(my sweetie likes the sweet stuff) and his was very tasty too. The only thing that was sub par out of my whole meal was the hot and sour soup I got, it was kind of bland, which if you normally eat that you know it’s supposed to be anything but bland. Anyway, I like the Oriental Pearl and since I live close now, I will eat in and take out from there again.
