Wow! We have lived in the neighbourhood for a few years and never have been but we've been everywhere else. The food is so good. The veggies are really fresh. So good that I signed up to write a review. I can't believe the prices! Also all the dishes we ordered has nice veggies and very few onions and all the crappy veggies. Not greasy either. The service is great. We've been to the hot stone/ sushi place on 37 and it is a rip off. Avenue needs to put these guys in their magazine!!!!

Under new management - Ok food. Been in the area for close to 10 years, and we've gone to Pearl Express every so often, but haven't gone in a while. Went Friday after work and discovered that Pearl Express is now under new management.

Just looking over their menu, doesn't look like the prices have changed since the last time we've been there, but I could be mistaken.

I do know that their dinner for 2 used to be $27.50, and when we went it was still the same price. For what you get (wonton or hot and sour soup, 2 spring rolls, chicken fried rice, and 2 entrees - depicted by stars on the menu, we chose the broccoli with beef and pineapple sweet and sour pork) it is a decent value.

Wonton soup was ok, there is no shrimp in the wontons but it is of a fair size. The wontons were ok, decent pork flavour and the wrapping was not cooked until it disintegrated, which is good. There was 8 wontons altogether. The broth was a tad on the salty side though.

The spring rolls were very good, deep fried until the outer layer was very crunchy but the inside was moist. This is a vegan spring roll though.

The chicken fried rice was a disappointment. It was lacking in chicken, peas, and eggs, it was basically just rice, and was pretty much bland.

The broccoli/beef was good, decent portions of beef and the broccoli was cooked until it had abit of a bite to it. It was smothered in an oyster sauce, so each floret had a nice burst of oyster sauce flavour to it. The beef was tender, and cooked well.

Sweet/sour pork was average, it had a decent amount of pineapples, and the pork was cut into nice bite sized pieces. It was deep fried well, had a nice crunch to it while the sauce provided a nice sweet yet sourness to the whole experience. None of the pork were dry, so I did appreciate that.

I also noticed that before, it was an open kitchen. So if you went in and ordered and decided to wait for your meal, you can see the cook preparing your order. Now they've placed a wall behind the counter blocking the view of the kitchen.

Service was ok, we called ahead so when we got there our order was waiting for us. It was also packed neatly, and everything was in there, like condiments and fortune cookies.

Overall, not a bad place and the food does seem have improved since being under new management.
