Black Pearl

I’ll make the drive to grab this take out!. Black Pearl appeared on my social calendar (via a Tweetup) last week & I was interested in checking it out. I looked up reviews on the restaurant and people either loved it or hated it – I had to find out for myself.

Going into the restaurant, I kept my expectations low and I was pleasantly surprised. I won’t name all the dishes we had but you have to try the following: Spicy Fish in Szechuan Sauce, Salt and Pepper Crispy Fried Calamari, and the Pot Sticker Dumplings.

Some things to keep in mind: be sure to have an appetite, the servings are large; this would be a great place to get take out or do a last minute dinner with a few friends; be sure to carpool because parking is a bit tricky.…

Nasty food, most have posted 1 star because of the outbreak. I had broccoli chicken, it was bland and the chicken was nearly rotten, it was soo gamey i made them take it back and make me something else. The general tsao's chicken was bland and over cooked. I had the egg drop soup and could only manage one spoonfull before giving it back.

Go anywhere but The black pearl..

Unless you want the sh1ts.…

Yuck, yuck, yuck. DO NOT waste your money on this restaurant. We tried on a friends suggestion and agree it was the WORST chinese take out we have eaten in Seattle. We ordered the won ton soup, chicken chow mein and Peppered Beef tenderlion. In all three dishes, the veggies were cooked to mush, there was no flavor except the beef dish which was DOUSED in pepper and the soup was a soggy mushy mess. Even the white rice was poorly made- crunchy and stale. We will never again stray from Judy Fu's. At least when they say they cook with fresh ingredients, they mean it.…

yummy, cheap, and predictable. My boyfriend and I like going to the Black Pearl because the food is great- we love the sesame chicken and the chow mein with homemade noodles. It surprises us how non-busy the Black Pearl always is...It is never empty, yet we never have to wait for a table. Service is usually pretty good. Not a place to go if you're looking for ambiance, but we like it all the same.…
