Ok, so if you follow me, you know I’m on a quest for a new Chinese restaurant! This restaurant happens to be halfway between us and a number of my family members on Calef Highway in Epping, NH. When we were on our way home from visiting family we decided to stop and check it out!
We were seated right away with our menus in hand. The decor is a little dated and it’s not much to write home about, but its how the food is that really counts in my book. Jim ordered the chicken Pad Thai ($9.95) and I tried something I have not had before and that was the Honey walnut chicken ($10.75).
Jim did clear his plate and said the chicken pad, Thai, although good, it was not the best he has ever had…but still good. Funny enough I think Jim liked my dish better as his fork kept making its way to my plate!
My honey walnut chicken was excellent and something I would order again. It is on the sweeter side and the candied walnuts make it even sweeter. It comes with a side of white rice which was a nice compliment to the crispy fried chicken and the sweet sauce.
Orient Pearl Asian Bistro opens daily at 11:00 am. They serve Chinese and Japanese cuisine along with a sushi bar. You can dine in, take out and they do catering as well. The menu is huge with all of the usual suspects you see on Chinese/Japanese menus. Soups, salads lots of appetizers Rice, chicken, pork, and vegetable dishes to choose from, along with some mandarin specialties.
I heard from my very good friend Lenny that the sushi is excellent here although we did not try it this time we will certainly try it next time.
Orient Pearl also has many lunch specials including an all you can eat buffet daily from 11:30 to 2:00 pm. I am hoping next time we are in the area we can check out this buffet and have a better idea of all the flavors they serve!
My quest for Chinese food will continue, but this is a great spot and we will be back. In the meantime, if you want to learn more, please visit their website for more information and menu option!
