The atmosphere made dining in a lovely experience, and I felt genuinely cared for. Highly recommend Pearl Dragon for anyone looking for delicious, MSG-free Chinese food with excellent service!
1st time visiting, lovely family run traditional Chinese restaurant. Beautiful food and great staff. We was looked after by tony and he told us about the restaurants history and recommended a steamed sponge dessert which was delicious. Thank you for a great night.
We had the most fabulous meal here last night. Every dish was cooked to perfection, but the Dim Sum and the fresh, (gigantic) crab were particularly amazing! The service couldn't have been any better, we had the perfect evening, highly recommended!
23 of westcliff rotary had a great meal last night. everything was the usual high standard and nothing was too much trouble. maybe new owners but nothing else has changed. a great night for everyone
We were lucky to get in it was full up, you could tell it was Quality buy the amount of people in their. Food was very very good would go every weekend if I lived closer.
Dim sum at the beach. Service was great and the food was even better. I was really impressed by the homemade deep fried squid cake and the fried turnip cake in XO sauce. Had a light lunch and then off to walk the beach.
I went several times to dinner and always had a great experience. The food is quality, the service is unusually good for a chinese restaurant, and the place is buzzing. So, the ambience is always good. It's not cheap (quality has a price), but it's worth it!
Recently taken over by new owners, lovely service and great food. Had a shared platter to start, followed by the duck pancakes and then some noodles and prawns. Really delicious!
