Dragon Pearls Chinese Take Away in West Oxfordshire

Revolting. Hadn’t had a takeaway from here for ages and now I remember why. Had a set meal for one @£14:50. 4 chicken balls in gloopy inedible batter with a side of sweet and sour fluorescent sauce, a thin layer of tasteless even more gloopy beef and mushroom which sat on top young chow fried rice which tasted as though it had sat around for weeks - avoid at all costs.

Dont know what's happened to the place as the food was very good but last night I had the worst Chinese meal I have ever had !! The prawn curry tasted of oil and looked as bad as it tasted!! My wife had the lemon chicken and that wasnt much better . It's not cheep eather. Very disappointing.

We popped in as staying local, foor was well priced, quick to be ready and very tasty, My parents and I enjoyed our night in with the meal.

This place is our new go to place for Chinese takeaway/delivery. The food is always fantastic and delivery is always quick. Good portion sizes and plenty of king prawns.

Well where do we start. Over priced tiny portions swimming in oil. Item missing from order. The only good thing we had was the chips. The sweet and sour sauce had no taste to it what so ever. The portion containers were about two thirds full. Its safe to say we won't be going back again.

Ordered are food from chineese at counter said they didnt do plain noodles with chicken Cantonese style so ordered chip instead with a spring roll very expensive when we got home the food was cold with a burnt spring roll also had pork not chicken with a very small portion of beansprouts no flavour the worst meal weve ever had wont be returning dont waste yor money

Excellent food! Saves us a trip to Chinatown - tastes just like it. Great value compared to other types of takeaway in Witney. Improved standard each time, well done and keep it up!

I honestly love the food from here (odd bad day but...) and they have some unusual and tasty dishes to try. However the last time I ordered the prices has risen by 15-25% per dish in the New Year! There can be no justification for this especially as they are the only home delivery restaurant to charge for delivery even if you live within minutes of the place! Still good food though...

I everything was vile the soup and my noodles! I’ll be sure to never order from here again my soup tasted like you had emptied the chicken waste u cooked it in and gave it to me as stock! The noodles were not Singapore rice noodles they were regular noodles with carrots and peas ???? And a few chillis??? Who’s your chef are they even Chinese or trained?! I don’t know how your a business but I’m sure it can’t be for long! I have no idea where your knowledge of cooking comes from but wow go back and learn some more! I literally heaved over trying that soup! And tried my hardest to eat my fake noodles! Your cutting corners I guess! Cheap everything

Terrible experience, waited nearly an hour & when it arrived it was lukewarm at best. Flavourless also

Waited over an hour for the food to be delivered. When it arrived it was luke warm and completely tasteless. The worst Chinese I’ve ever eaten and not cheap

I really hate writing bad reviews against local businesses and they are all very nice people, but honestly...this was the worst Chinese I’ve ever had. I ordered the takeaway to collect and was told it would take 45 mins which was fine. When I got there, I waited for 10 mins until someone came out of the kitchen and acknowledged me. I watched the gentleman go into the kitchen and struggle to find my ticket to then discover it was on the top shelf - which to me looked like they hadn’t even started it. He told me it would be a few moments more. 15 mins later it came out, I paid and left. When I got home, I was so disappointed with my food. I had lemon chicken, chow mien and rice. The rice was undercooked and crunchy, the noodles were burnt (at least that was one flavour) the chicken was fine, but the lemon sauce just tasted like gloopy syrup water. I didn’t eat it, gave up and threw it away. I think they are lovely people and maybe I got unlucky with my order. But I will be sticking to the Water Margin next time. Sorry dragons pearl!

Ate two mouthfuls after reheating it as it was delivered barely warm.The crispy chilli beef was beyond chewy, egg fried rice inedible and taste no difference between the sweet and sour sauce and curry sauce they were both so sweet and bland.

Quick and efficient service, good standard of food. But portions rather miserly.There is no way I can type 100 words about a takeaway meal Trip Advisor! Get real,

To a person that thinks all Chinese Takeaway places deliver the same food, with the same bland taste...I say look no further! Dragon Pearl will cook everything from scratch, and I can assure you: it will taste just like in real China or Vietnam! It is bursting with flavours, the ingredients are top quality and best of all, you won't find this bath of grease at the bottom of your carton, so typical from other places. Bwing French and very fussy, i cannot order from anywhere else than Dragon Pearl. The whole family owning this divine place is Chinese and if you meet Adam, Jasmine and their parents, you will understand that they are cooking from the heart, and never rushing their dishes until it is exactly like it would in Hong Kong, Beijing or Shanghai. The request I would make is seeing the Dragon Pearl as a restaurant, as their food is restaurant standard and beyond!

The most bland food I have eaten never again!! This food has no seasoning and lacks real flavour used to be so good 😪😪

Being one of the few places that delivers to near by Standlake we are regular customers here. Consistent good food, although sometimes wish for a bit wider choice. One of the only places we have found that does not have the funny taste to their batter. Also their chips are the best by far of all local take outs.

We get a take away most weekends and we having been getting Chinese food from the Dragons Pearl for about 18years ( think that speaks for itself) .

Phoned to place order early but asked to be delivered over an hour later. Everything worked perfectly. Delivered when requested and piping hot. Great meal had. Wouldn't use any other Chinese in Witney, have tried most and find Dragons Pearl to be the best quality.

We had high hopes for this restaurant based on their website. Oh dear, were we wrong. All our dishes were tasteless, gloopy and unpleasant. Never again.

Tengo que admitir que soy muy exigente en mi china para llevar. No soy un fanático de MS y me quedé muy sorprendida de que dragones perla no lo uso. He tenido 3 comidas formulario dragones Pearl y ninguno de ellos defraudó. Gran sabor, muy fresco y la sopa caliente y amarga es precioso. bien hecho. Un chino que se destaca de los demás, y te dejan que es incluso mejor.

Order from here regularly and food is always nice, arrives hot and has flavour. The only let down is that it is closed on a Tuesday, and we always seem to want Chinese on a Tuesday. Also deliver to Standlake which is a bonus.

I placed my order for 8 today for delivery at lunchtime , it arrived on time it was delicious and all piping hot. It was the first order I had placed with this take away and I would use again. Thank You

Food was tasteless and very greasy not to mention the under cook noodles honestly they look row to me call to make a complaint have been told it's how they cook very crispy. Very disappointed never again.

We called at 745 on a busy Friday evening to be told delivery would hopefully be within hour but maybe just after. Completely understood as it was there busy time. Food arrived piping hot within 40 mins. Great service. Would recommend.

Han comentado este lugar es la mejor China en witney a todos mis amigos y familiares, pero esta noche nos decepcionó. Llamamos para pedir comida para ser entregado, dijeron podría tomar hasta 1 horas 10 a ser entregado como sólo un conductor. Debido a esto decidimos recoger como preparado en menos de 30 minutos. Preguntado si cualquier descuento recogiendo como tuvimos que recoger y me dijeron que no era una opción como la entrega!!

El estaba listo para llevar después de media hora, todo bien caliente. Por desgracia, algunas de que era absolutamente delicioso, otras partes fueron quemados y horrible. Casa de pato volando, casa chow mien, tostadas de gambas, pelotas de gambas todo muy sabroso y delicioso. Los rollitos primavera, cerdo bbqd mini costillas de ternera crujiente con barriga y desmenuzada y las costillas estaban quemados muy seco. Especial arroz frito de la casa era más humeda que pensé que iba a ser, pero estaba delicioso. En general, bueno y malo (de ahí el huevo vicarios!) no ring para decírselo y estaba muy contento con su respuesta positiva y sin duda a intentarlo.

La comida era lo suficientemente bueno para llevar nada bien pero aún así agradable.

This is a decent takeaway and our takeaway of choice. Yes it's a bit hit and miss but most of the time it's decent and we usually enjoy the food especially the Singapore noodles!

Not sure what to make of this take away. The menu is better than the average chinese, with some interesting meals.They had sold out of two dishes when we ordred which was a bit dissapointing, it was only 8pm on a friday night so had to make other choices.We had the biggest spring rolls i've ever seen, greasy but good. Prawn Toast was a little shy of prawns. Satay roast duck was nice, although didnt taste much of satay. The Champagne Ribs were nice, would have liked a few more though, as not much meat on them. We wanted the Crispy Lamb ( sold out ) so tried the Lady MoMo instead. Wasnt good, had no taste to it.It's a bit more expensive that the average chinese and to be honest, it's not worth the extra price. Usually £25-£30 feeds the family, this cost £35-£40.I would not say it was bad, it's better qaulity chinese food than your standard type take away, but taking into consideration the price and dishes we had, and portaion size (a little shy) i'm not that tempted to go again. Maybe if i could try the dishes i wanted i'd give it another try..

I really love the food from dragons pearl however tonight i experienced such poor service (again!) that i shall not be ordering from there again. I called to make an order and was told to "please wait a moment" during which the phone was put on the counter and i could hear people walking in the shop and having their orders taken while i was left hanging...this went on for 20minutes and is not the first time this has happened to me...i hung up to call back and reminid them i was there but it was engaged for 45 mins so i presume the phone was left off the hook...there have been other times when ive waited for an hour and half for my order to call back and them admit they have forgotten me...the food here is great its obvious their staffing levels cannot keep up which is a shame..they should invest in more staff and until they do i shall not be ordering again,

Probably one of the worst Chinese take aways I have ever had.The starters, main and fritter puddings were either extremely greasy or tasteless.

Deserves better reviews so thought I would do one. I've tried 3 or 4 Chinese restaurants since moving to Witney 2 and a half years ago. I've settled on the Pearl as for me it's consistently the best.Super tasty and flavor is what i'm after if I order a Chinese. Yes some of it it fatty but it tastes good and if your counting your calories then you probably shouldn't be eating take out anyway.I'm just about to order for about the 7th time now and i'm looking forward to it. Delivery is always fast.Thanks!

Disappointed that the food was cold on arrival and overpriced for the quality. It's a shame as the takeaway has been really good in the past. I hope they pull it back. The staff are very friendly as a plus.

This chinese takeaway is the best in witney by far, the food at dragons pearl is delicious.. Its clean and cooked fresh.. My favourite dish to eat here is the firecracker chicken amazing!! A must have!

What a shame, we thought we would treat ourselves and what a rip off, food was greasy, lacking in flavour and a £40 meal did not serve 2 however it was delivered quickly which only makes me think it was sat in the deep fat fryer for sometime ready for a busy Saturday night service. I don't complain normally but when I did at least they offered my money back ( but that's not the point ). Disappointing.

We've been here on a number of occasions over the last 6 months. The food is always of a high standard. The portion sizes aren't as big as some other takeaways (you still get plenty) but the quality is far higher here. The menu has plenty of choice and they'll happily alter something to suit your taste. There's normally a few specials on the board too. Highly recommended.
