Pearl Asian Cuisine - Placerville

Group of 11 with reservations went 35 minutes with zero service. We all got up and left.

I ordered the cashew chicken and the food was INCREDIBLE!! Super friendly and efficient staff. Highly recommended!!

Always delicious! We make trips over an hour just to eat here !

My wife I decided to eat here since other restaurants were busy and lines were long. So, the wait time was very short here- that's a plus.The food on the other hand, very much disappointing. The appetizers came out quick and they were actually pretty delicious and warm. The rest of the food came out cold, tasteless, chicken pieces were cut extremely big and the meat you couldn't chew. The server was nice and brought out our food quickly but I couldn't return to this place again. Someone in the review post referred to this place as Panda Express quality. I am sorry but Panda Express is much better than this place.

Our first time here. The center of the restaurant has more surgical lighting if that's your taste). The side booths are private, quiet, comfortable with more romantic lighting. We prefer the ambient lighting. It was quiet enough to have a conversation. A big plus. Host was helpful in finding our perfect date night table. Service was very good. Xavier did a great job and was attentive and friendly. Took awhile for cocktails to arrive but I don't think that was our servers fault. Food was surprisingly very good. Half Peking Duck was delightful and was pre-cut with Hoisin sauce. green onions and buns. No table side slicing of the duck at Pearl. $26) We've had Peking Duck in Hong Kong and many other cities in the US and abroad. The duck was flavorful, tender, not dry or overdone. The buns were good. We enjoyed the side dish of Buddha Veggie plate with sauteed yellow squash, snow peas, green beans and mushrooms. $17) A nice light flavorful dish. Prices weren't bad for an upper scale Asian restaurant. We always look for white table cloths in upscale restaurant, Our side table didn't have that, but it's common with Asian Restaurants plus it's slim pickings for a fine dining restaurant in the western foothills of El Dorado County. We will return. I recommend.
