White Pearl Restaurant

I honestly don’t know why this place doesn’t have greater reviews! The food is AMAZING. Not too heavy or oily, so fresh & flavorful. The boiled fish I had fell apart- so tender & moist, the vegetables were cooked perfectly- not at all mushy but not too crisp & the sauce that came with the egg rolls was light- not sticky sweet like the majority of sweet ‘n sour sauces that usually come with your appetizer. The hot jasmine tea was the perfect way to relax while we shortly waited for our food. Officially my new go to place even though I live 30 mins away!

The food here is delicious! We got the Thom Yum Soup and Pad Se Yu and both were an excellent level of spiciness. The server took our order quickly and the food came out almost immediately. We'll definitely be back soon to try out more of the large menu!

Sixth stars for authentic Thailand northeastern region flavor. I never experienced this flavor in Illinois before. Tastes like in Thailand. Salty and spicy perfect authentic cooking technique. Jaew (chili paste mix), Larb Beef (spicy chopped beef salad), Fried Sun Dried Beef, salted crab papaya salad or even fried chicken. Just Perfect.

One of the best Vietnamese/Thai food in the area. I have been going there for about 20 years since moved to Chicago. Even now I am not close to this restaurant anymore,I still find time to go. The best dishes for me are those wide rice noodle dishes, delicious. I think they are even better than the ones I had in Thailand and Vietnam.
Coming back again, everything is still excellent.

Food was absolutely amazing Got the beef Pho with shrimp added along with some chicken pot stickers and a few egg rolls the food is so flavor and authentic 10/10 will be back again I was very impressed.

Such a nice place. The food exceptional and very tasty. The owner / manager didn’t think I would like what I ordered so he recommended something else. Same ingredients. Different spices and sauce and noodles. I loved what he brought me. If your in doubt. Ask him. Tell him what you like. He will make it. Even if not on the menu. The crab Rangoon is amazing fried rice is good. You can add what meats or seafood you like to make it better to your liking. Place lets you sit where you like. And your served personally. Asked if Al was good. And given boxes to bring home leftovers All with a simple smile. Wish they played some music in the background. Really quiet inside the resturant.

Super delicious, it remind me the Chinese food from venezuela very good, their costumer service is amazing very caring and polite. It's not a fancy restaurant it's very humble and their food it's amazing 100% recommended.

I usually get Pad Thai & egg rolls & they are beyond delicious. Generous portion of entree, always have leftovers.

We’ve been getting take out here for years now. We love it. The Pad Thai and the General Tso’s are great. Howie is awesome.

I've been going to white pearl for years, I love how consistent their food is. Howie is super friendly and always takes really good care of his customers.

I love this place❤great food, friendly service and the staff treats you like family. Always satisfied with the food, I got chicken wings and beef fried rice also(no pictures). 5 stars always!!!

The food is excellent.
The hot sour soup is the absolute BEST, around. Plenty of ingredients, not just spicy egg drop soup.

Really enjoyed my meal. Very freshly made and very fulfilling. I got the wonton, char siu chicken noodle soup and Lao sausages. Delicious!! Will love to go back there again

This place is a bit of a hidden gem on this side of Elgin. If you're looking for good oriental food, this is the place to order from. The beef fried rice is prepared in a way I haven't found anywhere else. It is hands down the best I've had. You won't be disappointed.

I have been wanting to try this place out for quite some time especially since it's only about 10 minutes from me. I ordered the combination Paad See Euw and Thai Iced Tea with milk. Both were good and the food had amazing flavor and the squid was tender which is hard to do, it can easily become rubbery if cooked to little or tough if cooked to long not to mention the large portion size. I ordered for pick up and the man at the counter was very friendly, I did accidentally walk off with their pen when I signed so if he sees this I'm sorry about that lol. Some of the other reviewers even by other local guides have almost all 5 star ratings to places they've been and I find it hard to trust those because to me 5 stars is exceptional not every place including a Taco Bell can be 5 stars (last name Ellen) but this place absolutely deserves the 5 stars that I rated it. I had to break out my nice chopsticks for this one :-)

Ordered white pearl chicken pho thru Door Dash. Ordering via Door dash was very easy. I spoke with Manager at white pearl. Gentleman was very nice and friendly. Chicken pho and eggroll were very delicious. Glad they are open for business again. Highly recommend white pearl for great oriental food!!

Fabulous food every time. Great service and great atmosphere.

the chicken pho was the best pho i've ever had!! server was super nice and the restaurant is cute and clean!!

Amazing!!! Literally the best Asian food I have ever had. Full of the most perfect mix of flavors and attention to detail, don’t let the small look of the restaurant fool you, this place truly is a gem!

Great food I definitely recommend.
