I have been searching for a good "all around" Chinese food restaurant on the North Shore for some time. I have found many places that do a few things well but others are often terrible.
The Golden Pearl seems to do everything rather well. It is not exceptional but the quality is high. I recommend the sweet and sour chicken which was exceptional the time that I was there. -

"Hey Hon, I found this menu in our drawer for Golden Pearl.... I think they are good" is how the evening began. You see, we have ordered from The Golden Pearl before, probably a year ago, just long enough to forget.
First off my apologies to all Chinese Canadians out there who are faced with the reality that non Chinese Canadians may actually believe that the "food" served by GPR in any way represents authentic Chinese cuisine.
My second apology goes to the hole in my back yard to which I used to bury the leftovers of this biological toxic waste. I felt a personal responsibility to dispose of the remains promptly and safely. I buried it deeply so our dogs wouldn't dig it up and try to re-locate it off property.
We ordered 2 spring rolls, vegetable chop suey, veggie fried rice, sweet & sour chicken balls, S&S Prawns and some mushroom egg foo yung.
I rolled the spring rolls in paper towel to help absorb the grease, the veggie fried rice contained only peas, egg and rice, The Prawn and Chicken balls were served up in styro containers separate from the nuclear red mystery sauce, perhaps to avoid some nasty chemical reaction or explosion during delivery. The mushroom foo yung was gooey, eggy, and bore no identifiable mushoroms. The Veggie chop suey was actually bearable. To finish off the meal we were provided with 4 unwrapped fortune cookies. One had a unique black spot on it. Donning leather gloves, I cracked them to reveal some uplifting fortunes that brightened our evening.
If McDonalds served Chinese Food it would blow this place off the map.
My third and final apology to McDonalds for that comment.
We remembered to toss the menu in the recycling this time.

I like the sort of Chinese food that you put the word "greasy" in front of, but this was just bad. Dry, flaky, pale lemon chicken with a sauce that you couldn't pour over the rice because it had too much cornstarch or something. Mushy overcooked noodles in the chow mein. No spice detectable in the "Szechuan" green beans. Even the rice tasted funny. How do you screw up steamed rice?
I didn't even want to take leftovers for breakfast, that's how nasty it was.
