Pearl Liang

Found both the service and food to be excellent. On the dim sum menu, the Shanghai dumpling with pork was a highlight, as was the barbecued pork cheung fan. Also recommend the deep fried soft shell crab. In terms of atmosphere, it was a bit quiet - at least during the day. But the Hotel Costes-type music selection was a nice touch and fairly unusual for a Chinese restaurant. It is tough to find, though...

I think the previous reviewer must have gone to a different Pearl Liang because this place is DIVINE!

I worked in Hong Kong for 3 months and ate dim sum regularly and this place is the only restaurant that even comes close. The fact that you can also have dim sum in the evening is a winner in my book.

The honey roast pork buns are delicious, as were the prawn dumplings. I also had the jellyfish which was out of this world. Also try the chicken with prawn paste.

The price is also very reasonable. £2.50 for a portion of 4 prawn dumplings. The service was also great and the restaurant was packed the night we went.

We'll be back!!

Absolutely overrated. Service was slow despite the restaurant was virtually empty. We had to send back a dim sum as it wasn't cooked through. The Lotus leaf rice with king prawns had no more than 2 regular size prawns- and they were finely chopped. Mediocre food that left us all thirsty with MSG attack. Definitely not worth the hassle.

Excellent place. A bit hard to find (in Sheldon Square, near Yakitoria) but it's worth the trouble. Having lived in China for 6 months, I can say that this is definitely the best Chinese restaurant I have ever visited. The food is superb and varied and not particularly expensive, the service is excellent, the bar is very funky, and the music is great. It's totally unlike the sort of drab/functional Chinese restaurants you find in Chinatown but the food is just as good, if not better. I can't recommend it enough!
