Orient Pearl

The buffet for lunch is small but ever freakin’ good! Everything was hot and delicious. Can’t wait to come back and try sushi, as that’s my absolute favorite and it seems everyone stelae agrees!

My boyfriend and I enjoyed this place. The atmosphere here is wonderful! They have glowing lights by the tables and the red and black interior is a nice touch, and they have nice wall decorations.
As for the food, our shrimp tempura sushi was nice and crispy, but on the smaller side compare to other sushi places. The Tahiti fruit punch was very sweet. Our pupu platter was very good. I really enjoyed and recommend the crab ragoon here, the best I’ve had in the area. Our waiter was nice, but didn’t seem that enthusiastic to be at work today.
If we want Chinese or sushi and we happen to be in Epping, we’d come here again.

Great sushi and nice atmosphere. Food is always fresh and delicious. Went for our anniversary tonight. We were a little disappointed in the service. Waitress was NON personal and seemed rushed even though it was not that busy. Seemed as though we were bothering her when asking for items needed. When the bill came, we paid but she neglected to bring us our change until we asked for it. She pocketed the money expecting all of it was left for her, which was not the case. I’m disappointed because tonight was a special night & usually the service along with everything else is great. I hope she gets better training. I will come back, but make sure I get a better and friendlier server!

My good friend and companion, always there when I need you! Great food, good prices, and great drinks. Best Chinese and sushi !
Worth the trip!

Orient pearl is a great restaurant. Their food has always been exceptional. There is limited parking, as it shares a lot with a strip mall it’s located in. But I have never had a bad experience/​plate from orient pearl. Their lunch buffet is hidden out back, and offer a limited section but I was able to try new things, and it was all really good.

Love this place! Sushi is a must here and very tasty. I haven’t tried the Chinese but I can’t get past the sushi it’s awesome.

Service was absolutely horrible. We waited at least 15 minutes to be greeted. By that time we already knew what we wanted. We had to remind him twice to get our waters. And when he brought out the food he was missing two dishes we had ordered, but disappeared before i could ask for them. Food was pretty good but from now on ill just do takeout… Extremely frustrating experience.

Excellent service and excellent tasting food. One small turnoff for me was the plastic dishes, it won’t stop me from returning, but a bit strange at such a nice restaurant.

I am a fussy spoiled Chinese food lover. My favorite is China Blossom in north Andover Ma. Orient Pearl is just as good! Best beef mushroom chow yoke ever… yum!!!

This is my favorite place for Chinese food in the area. Service is always excellent and food is always hot. Prices are very reasonable. We haven’t tried the sushi here but plan to.
Clean, updated, and comfortable atmosphere. Some of the mixed drinks could use a little improvement, less juice. The Beer is always cold and refreshing and not a bad selection.
We like the Kung pao chicken, house fried rice, crab rangoons and salt and pepper chicken. All with hot mustard, of course!

It’s unfortunate that one of the more recent posts gave this restaurant a 1 star rating. Maybe it was just bad timing for them. If you can get past the staffs heavy accents, the food is outstanding! Def recommended! Brought my niece once and the staff went out of their way to make a little bird out of fruit for her. How can you not like the place after that!

Love this place! I’ve ordered from there at least 4 times and I haven’t been disappointed at all. The prices aren’t too bad, especially if you go during the lunch specials. They include your entrée, choice of rice and choice of appetizer or soup for under 8 dollars. Its clean and well maintained and the staff is always nice. Their sushi is really good too. They have specials on Wednesdays for buy one roll, get one free.

I have always heard good things about the Orient Pearl, I ended up going this past Friday, and was nervous when I realized it was a lunch buffet.
Well, I have to say it was very tasty. The food was all hot and fresh and it didn’t have that horrible Chinese lunch buffet smell.
This is the first time I have had a Chinese buffet that actually tasted like the Chinese food I have for takeout at other restaurants. I’ll definitely go back, it was fantastic.

We are regulars at Orient Pearl in Epping, NH. The food is consistently good, and the service is phenomenal.
Even on a Friday or a Saturday night, the wait is not too bad. The restaurant is clean and always looks great.
The menu is your standard Chinese food menu, but they do everything very well. For appetizers, we always order the Crab Rangoon and the Fried Pork Dumplings. They are both delicious. We also ordered the Vegetable Lo Mien, and the General Tso’s Chicken. The Lo Mien was full of fresh vegetables, and was seasoned well. The General Tso’s Chicken was also very good. The drinks are pretty good, but a touch on the sweet side. The White Mai Tai is nice if you don’t like your drinks too sweet.
The service is the strength of this restaurant. The servers are very attentive, and also love to interact with the guests without going too far. We’ve had some of the best service we’ve ever had at this restaurant.
This is definitely one of the best in the area for Chinese food. With good food and strong service, we will definitely return.

We tried their lunch buffet for the 1^st time. Really yummy and fresh !!! We will defiantly be back! Great service too

I feel like I need to preface this by saying that I actually hate to give bad reviews, and I’m not an overly picky customer.
I got take out and ordered the dinner chicken tempura and genera sao’s chicken. The chicken tempura was incredibly dry and flavorless, and the burps that followed all night were a nightmare. The General sao’s, again, flavorless. As my boyfriend put it last night, I’ve never had to put salt on Chinese food before.
There was nothing redeeming about either meal. Will never order from here again.

I hate to say it but the last 2 times I was here I got sick. The first time I thought it was a fluke. Had the sushi the second time and my friend and I were both sick. We come here at least 1 a month and enjoyed this place. I don’t know what happened.
Also I see very young children working with there parents. Which is fine but they let the child (maybe 7) try to cash me out with my CC and she made a mistake and the manager had to come over and explain what happened.
New Year’s Eve was a nightmare. Called in my order 2 days before. When I went to pick it up they couldn’t find it, along with a lot of other folks orders.

Definitely a diamond in the rough. I’m in the area for work and a coworker brought me here, as it is one of his favorites.
My coworker and I shared the pupu platter, which was excellent. The beef and chicken teriyaki skewers asking with the pork spare ribs were the best part by far, but it was all good. I also ordered the eel avocado and spicy tuna rolls. They were quite small in size but included 6 pieces. The eel avocado had great flavor, while the spicy tuna tasted of sriracha, but I wish there was more in the mixture.
I would definitely come back here if I’m the area and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to others.

I’ve been going since they first opened, and I’ve never had a bad meal.
I ordered for new years, and the service was still quick and efficient, even with busier time.
If you can make it to their lunch buffets, I highly recommend it, they have an amazing selection.
The bathrooms are clean, and the atmosphere is friendly and welcoming.

I cannot recommend this restaurant. I’m willing to pay $ 15 for a good sushi roll, but here you’re out of luck. Or if you order a dish that has onions in it, you may get an onion tsunami, and not as much meat. I left here hungry, and angry.
The owner pretends to not speak English when commenting how disappointing it was. He just smiles and ignores, tending to take out orders. The waiter never communicated my dissatisfaction to the manager, who also just stood there and looked at the bill I handed him. But really, does he care? No.
I wasn’t asking for any money back — this was no joke & I was making a point. I don’t need to get a free meal. But, they could have done… SOMETHING…to make up for the poor quality.
I will never return.
