I have eaten here for the last 10 years at least 40 times. I've introduced dozens of people who now call it their favorite. Without a doubt, this is the best Chinese food I've found in the greater Portland area. I highly recommend the Sesame Shrimp - sometimes a special but never on the menu. If you like it spicy, tell them so. They have many great dishes and I've yet to get one that I thought outright sucked. If you're into Mu Shu, they have a top notch version. The service for the most part has always been good. The tropical drinks are standard Chinese Restaurant fare - A Mai Tai tastes prety much like a Scorpion tastes pretty much like a Zombie. I would recommend this to anyone who appreciates good Chinese. I've eaten at some great places in LA and in the greater New York area and Hunan Pearl is as close as I've gotten to Chinese food Nirvana in PDX.
Pros: Great food and specialties
Cons: Girl drinks all taste alike.
