Your typical buffet fare. But this place is CLEAN. They were pulling the booth seats to mop today, wiping the fixtures and always smells clean. Food is hot and fresh. Even the ice cream is in it's own covered slide top freezer. Was $13.50 for the food and 3.50 for 32oz tea.

Good Chinese buffet-style food, at a reasonable price. The workers were helpful and attended to our dirty dishes regularly. The restaurant was clean and comfortable. Plenty of seating for medium sized groups in relation to the size of the entire seating area.

It's hands down in my top 3 Chinese places to eat from. I haven't had a chance to try their buffet, it's gonna happen real soon. They wrap their crab Rangoon's different than I'm used too, however they're still a solid 4/5 their Gen Tsu chicken plate is Great (Which is my go to at most Chinese restaurants) There kung pow chicken is the best I've had to date. Parking is of plenty, it's small inside the restaurant but what they lack in space they makeup for with friendly staff and Amazing food. If you're around Carlyle Illinois at the lake or just passing through Breese illinois and you want the best bang for your buck and some delicious Chinese cuisine..look no further China Pearl is def worth trying!

Called in an order and they were very nice, efficient and accurate! This family has always worked so hard and you can tell by the fact that they were so busy! Owner double checks orders to ensure accuracy! Give it a chance, you won't be disappointed. :)
