Pearl Dragon in Staffordshire Moorlands

When i'm on holiday and stay at my friends place i always "demand" them to make sure i have a Chow mein. If possible first day i arrive. Pearl Dragon is always were we order and there are never problems. We order on the phone, always served very friendly. Food is still warm although they are about 5 miles away. I have a prawn allergy and in all those years i never been ill. Sometimes we order at a silly hour of the day and we have to wait a little bit longer (our fault). Chow mein 🥰 ... i love it. We sometimes share : you see chicken balls / sweet & sour chicken with rice / chow mein and of course to top it all off some chips.

ordered a takeaway. I've had issues with the salt level in the food before but then ordered a couple more weeks because it may have been a one-off and it was OK. Ordered again tonight and the salt level in the thai green curry was off the scale. Not great if you've a medical condition. absolutely the last time we'll be ordering from them. NOTE to 'chef' - you can always ADD salt to a dish, you can't remove it!!!!

Id leave 0 stars if I could.Absolutely disgusted by the customer services from Pearl Dragon Chinese takeaway in Cheadle after years of custom. they got my order wrong, which was king prawn crispy balls and sent chicken balls instead, but because I'd ate half of one, to replace it with what I originally ordered they wanted me to pay for the chicken balls aswell as another £8.50 for the king prawn balls I ordered. the woman who I spoke to was very rude and obnoxious. I can't believe people in this industry get away with talking to people and treating them like that and still have customers. Disgraceful.

Disgraceful and to top it off someone I know has had pretty much the exact same experience as me which I just found out after my review left on Facebook!

I am a customer of over 20 years and to night I had a terrible meal I rang up and spoke to the boss about the meal her attitude was terrible she said to me £20 is not a lot for a meal I said it’s not how much it is The chips was like rubber the beef was so tuff she just did not care her attitude was disgusting so if that’s the attitude they take I will not be going there again I cannot believe how people can be treated like this totally disgusting customer service mr j carter

Good food always hot & quick service

We regularly have delivered takeaway from Pearl Dragon. The staff on the phone are always friendly and helpful as are the delivery drivers. I always leave the cash in an envelope in the porch and the driver drops the food off and takes the cash. On this occasion I had left to much money, I left a £20 instead of a £10. The driver knocked on the door and pointed out my mistake. How honest is that, I wouldn't have known,he could have taken it. Thanks so much for your honesty, I hope your employer appreciates you.

Had a takeaway delivered with a smile to Wood Farm camp site Great Gate. Highly recommend - food was delicious and piping hot. I will definitely use this place again .

takeaway tai green curry was so salty i couldn't eat it :( the salt was in the sauce rather than the rice that I ordered with it

Best takeaway we’ve had in a longtime! Big portions, tasty food, quick preparation. Everything was 10/10 would recommend as your go to place in the area 😊

Terrible customer service. They try to answer the phone to multiple people at the same time. Often leaving you waiting on the phone half way though the order. You can hear the other people ordering which is rude

Terrible customer service. Whilst call my order through I heard the other phone ring the same person answered the other phone and half way through my order stop speaking and started to take another order. This was very rude

Really recommend the crispy chicken and the crispy beef was really nice

LOVE THE FOOD,ALWAYS EXACTLY WHAT YOU ORDER. THE STAFF ARE FRIENDLY,& ALWAYS HAPPY TO HELP. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. 😋🍝 THANK YOU PEARL DRAGON.

I ordered chicken with spring onions and ginger. There was very little, if any ginger and only great big pieces of onions. See the picture and I had eaten half of the onions. No, bulking up with cooking onions is not good. I won't be going back. I have a photograph but I can't insert it!

Always order from here never lets me down but this time! Opened bag of chips put on plate and spider came out ! Won't order again ,only got half of refund even tho none of the food had been eaten

Best takeaway in Cheadle,look no further for Chinese

Don't know why but no matter who runs it .it's always been the best Chinese takeaway in town

Best Chinese Takeaway in the Area, We stopped at the Alton Towers Resort and its not to far away, The Food is alway cooked fresh and consistent every time we have visited.

Food not nice had to wait ages dried noodles cheap chicken nothing in won ton chips rubbish nasty food

Following a few visits this is becoming a trusted Chinese for me. Ordering over the phone was quick and effecient, we then paid by card on arrival and food was presented promptly. Matching flavourful sauces, tender pieces of meat and specific vegetables/additions cut to a size that allows variation with every bite is a winning combination that shows off their ability to craft a solid main meal. Photo shows Chicken Szechuan, Egg Fried Rice and Spare Ribs. Came together into a solid and fulfilling meal. With heat from the Szechuan sauce pairing with freshness from a combination of peppers and bamboo shoot. But having tried a few things from the menu I'd recommend Roast Pork with Cashew Nuts. Culminates into me labelling this Chinese an excellent option for a good takeaway

Haven't been for a while, but last Wednesday had my favourite of mixed grill and chips and it was fantastic 😄

Always so fresh and tasty. Service polite and friendly. Always recommending to my customers from my B&B. The Manor

Nice and polite happy to alter your order to your prefered taste, fast and tasty

We are staying in Alton for Alton Towers and picked Pearl Dragon as it was the closest,4 miles,we ordered salt and pepper shredded chicken,vegetable spring rolls,sweet n sour chicken balls,beef fried rice,special house curry with egg fried rice. Every dish was amazing,with every member commenting on it being the best Chinese they’ve had in a long time,hence the review!5*****

Called in for a takeaway last night. Very quick service and food still piping hot when we got home 6 miles away. Thank you pearl dragon. Jim

Superb Chinese Take away, passing through tourists visiting Alton Towers, chose this take away as it was close to where we were staying. Menu looked good online and they accepted plastic, which was handy as we had no cash. The crab claws were to die for! Great food, quick service, very impressed. All round good priced meal. Would happily visit again.

Good Chinese food take away, Short drive from Alton Towers Resorts.

As ever the food was amazing, hot and totally yummy. They did get a couple of things wrong but think the guy who took the order was a bit confused with what I was saying. Wrong pop Fanta instead of coke and missing something of the order which I hadn't paid for anyway so all good. Really really nice though.

The loveliest most efficient staff and without a doubt the best crispy chilli beef I’ve ever eaten :-D

I’ve been going here since 1990 and for the last 55 years I’ve never seen such grotesque slop, last night I ordered a Big Mac which was disgusting, the pizza was all mushy, worst Chinese I’ve ever been to

Good food. Friendly helpful staff when ordering. We went midweek. A very short wait for food.

Stayed near cheadle after going to Alton towers. Got a takeaway from pearl dragon. Food was great and very quick

We ordered Singapore noodles, Crispy chilli beef, Salt and Chilli King Prawns and Singapore style crispy chicken...and not for the first time...i am going to say this is our 10th time.... the lovely man who took our order is just a pure delight.... and the lovely man who delivered our food is just wonderful....sounds really rude to forget the very , very talented chiefs who are making the most delicious delicious Chinese food in the area (in our opinion!) very well done ... stunning x

An excellent Chinese takeaway with a wide variety of meals at a reasonable price. The staff are friendly and courteous and you never have to wait too long. Would recommend to others seeking a quick and enjoyable meal👍.

Always amazing food never had a bad meal

We have been a user of this takeaway for years, the quality of the dishes is I believe unbeatable in this area. Pick any dish & you won’t be disappointed.

Found this amazing little Chinese Food takeaway in Cheadle after a visit to Alton Towers. The food was amazing!! One of the best we have tasted. The shop is bright and clean. The staff are friendly. A great find!!

Great Chinese food was delicious piping hot when deliverd. Ordered few meals from here not had a problem. Defiantly best Chinese in the area...if people are visiting alton towers and aren't familiar with the area. Would highly recommend pearl dragon

Wonderful! Tasty! Delicious! Great service! Speedy Delivery! Good menu! Really pretty great service and lovely! Thank you! will be ordering again!

Ordered 2 egg fried rice , one chips and two BBQ sauce, arrived home and came to put it out and noticed they had missed off a egg fried rice, called them and told them they had missed and item off the order,first was asked if I could pop up for it ,after saying no it was delivered promptly. Nothing against the food or quality but the pricing was extortionate. These five item were over 14 pounds plus, no longer a cheap meal in the age we are in. feel ripped off.

Pearl dragon is our go to place xxxx

Brilliant, tasty and ample portions

Amazing chinese, this is our GO-TO chinese takeaway. Always great food, always fresh and tastes great. Highly recommended!

Vegetarian meal with unidentified and unexplained meat in it. Very poor response from the takeaway and their explanation does point to the possibility it was rodent.

I ordered a vegetarian dish from this takeaway, when I got home and tucked into my meal I was alarmed to discover small pieces of meat in the noodles. I contacted Pearl Dragon to address this. Their complacency was unbelievable, and despite telling me the order was for vegetarian, and the ticket that went to the kitchen was vegetarian they did not offer an explanation and still maintained it was meat free. I was asked what meat was it, I was absolutely astounded, admittedly I was not so considered in my reply and was pushed into using some expletives to express my shock!! I was sick to the stomach when I realised this meat appeared to be some kind of rodent. The meal will be taken to the health inspector tomorrow.

Always really nice food. Friendly staff and fast service. Definitely recommend.

The salt and pepper chilli spare ribs were amazing. The king prawn chow mein and the chicken fried rice were good.

The only Chinese takeaway we will use in the area.

Best Chinese around, the meat pancake rolls and prawn curry is the best ever

Stay in Alton Tower for three days holiday, order delivery from it,45 mins arrived on time.I would highly recommend.

I took my family on a trip back to my homeland from the West Coast of the USA. We stayed for a few days at Alton Towers but decided to venture out one night to grab some food. We stumbled across this little diamond of a place tucked away down a narrow side street. This was my family's first every trip to the UK so they were not accustomed to what food choices there are so we dove in an got a plethora of dishes to try. The service was great, polite and attentive. Portion sizes were very good and the quality of the food was also very high. There wasn't a scrap left by the end of the meal! It's funny, we spent just over 4 weeks traveling the UK and having all sorts of adventures, however, 1 of the most memorable events was the night we found the Pear Dragon and ate it at Alton Towers on an ironing board. Already plotting a return in 2021! ;o) **A little update, after 2years we were able to get back and visit Alton Towers and stopped here on the way back. Just as awesome and such a family memory we all cherish. Delish! ***Update #2, just had the pleasure of ordering here while back in the UK, I can confirm it's as delicious as ever with great staff! Can't wait to go back next week.

Ordered from here everytime we have gone camping in cheadle, never had any problems previously. Ordered on Tuesday night spent a fortune and was absolutely appalled. Where do I start. The price is extortionate, the food was totally bland as though no salt or seasoning was used. Every dish was strange in colour and there was very little meat in the dishes. Sauces were like water very disappointed and will not be returning. Don’t waste your money

Two lamb chops and chips 25pounds no taste disgusting never again

Best take away service in Cheadle, always in time,food is absolutely amazing ,staff friendly ,well a pleasure order from them

We ordered a starter tonight to share it was absolutely beautiful couldn't complain there was enough for 2 people and for the price it was reasonable lovely thankyou

I dont eat take aways but i used too, but when i did i prefer this chinese to alot of chinese fast foods

Been a customer for some years with minimal complaints, but sadly last night had one, if the worst meals I have ever known, Chicken with spring onion and ginger with egg fried rice. Very little chicken, no spring onion, slight fragrance of ginger, however copious amounts uncooked white onion, few carrots and a watery consistence of sauce. Complicated with boiled rice and a smattering of egg flakes.

We decided to place an order this evening here. To try it as we had never been before. If there was an open for zero starts I would definitely be clicking it. We now wish we hadn’t bothered. The food is absolutely disgusting. Don’t waist your money.

Wouldn’t order again. Over charges me by £20 and took over 2 hours arrive! “Blamed the snow” I live a mile away! Food cold greasy. Phoned them and prices gone up apparently but I ordered off website menu! Order from china chef in future it’s better food and cheaper. Thought I’d try these guys “never again scammers!”.

Had to ring the 12 times before a answer .. thanks for being late it was worse that dreadful not cooked right I have bin coming here for a long time now and it's hot worse I mean I am lost for words I mean no answer so was waiting round any other takeaway has 2 phones and more that 1 behind the desk and also when it came was horrible and the lid was open would I go there again after this I very highly don't think so

Lovely food lovely experience ❣️❣️

Nice meal the only thing was the side door on the pictures was left open to allow anything to get in the kitchen where the food is prepared as you can see from the pictures there is a mesh on the door to shut to allow ventilation to the cooking area but seems they cannot be bothered to use the mesh door

First order was Lovley and fresh delivered hot. Today's order not as good. Chicken balls like string, soup chicken chow mine was hot fresh but chicken again like string

Never a bad meal but prices seem to have gone up quite a bit.

Best Chinese id has in ages. It was all home made which we were amazed at

Delicious food, fab and quick service. Well priced and good big portions of quality food, definitely reccomend

Very dirty around the back of the shop. Never trust behind the face.

This is the best Chinese for miles.....food is always hot and delicious. I've been ordering here for nearly 5 years....amazing Chinese food!

A pretty good Chinese Takeaway. Fairly priced, and food good

Favourite Chinese, now travel past 2 others to eat from here

I ordered a main special mix meat with mushroom black bean sauce and egg fried rice. I received boiled rice and a tub of grotesque slop, which went into the bin! Wasted a tenner!

Really tasty food, highly recommend, however phone your order through though as they get quite busy at peak times. Yum yum 😋

Great service and cheerful staff even though they are very busy

Very disappointed, after looking forward to enjoying a nice meal. We dont often have a takeaway but as we had been busy all day decided to treat ourselves. We chose a set menu for 2 thinking that this will be their signature dish and shouldn't go wrong with the food, however: The positives; the ribs starter was really nice and set us up to look forward to enjoy the mains. The portions are very generous but on this occasion this was in reality a negative as it meant more waste for the bin. The negatives; the pork dish had very little pork meat within the meal and was 'substituted' with a processed pork meat (Spam like) which was tasteless, slimy and really off putting. The crispy fried chicken dish was tough with the batter being soggy. The beef dish again lacked flavour with the meat again appearing to be processed and was overdone resulting in it being somewhat chewy. We have had good meals in the distant past from the Pearl Dragon but unfortunately we will not be rushing back, clearly the takeaway has not lost a regular customer here but on the flip side it will not have gained one either.

Amazing food and incredible service. Highly recommended

Ordered at 1830. Told it would be delivered by 2000. Still waiting at 2045. Not impressed. Cancelled at 2100. Never again

Collection is fine and food is lovely but the delivery service is very poor. Order placed and told up to 1 1/2 hours but almost two hours later no food. When called to chase all they say is we are very busy, it will be another 20 minutes!! Not good enough. When you have taken an order and the money you need to deliver in the timescale stated. Up your game Pearl Dragon!!

This takeaway used to be good for food and delivery but for the sixth or seventh time now, we've endured delivery times far in excess of the unusual 1 hour delivery slot they have recently come to promise. Last time, it was 1.5 hours from phone to table. Right now, we have been waiting 2 hours and ten minutes for a delivery. Still no sign. If you don't live on their doorstep, then avoid them and go elsewhere. It's just a matter of getting more drivers....not a tough ask in the current climate if you're a busy takeaway!

Best chinese take away in cheadle

Delicious food, freshly made and ready exactly when we asked for.

We've frequented a few different Chinese takeaways in the towns surrounding us (Leek, Ashbourne, Cheadle & Blythe Bridge) but have found that Pearl Dragon is our favourite so far! The food is fresh, tasty & plentiful, with a great selection on the menu. The service has always been quick & efficient too.

We were staying in the Chained Oak Farm B&B in Alton and were told that Pearl Dragon would deliver there. We were warned on the phone it could be up to an hour wait and we decided we were happy with that, and it arrived pretty much bang on then. It was still hot and we got plenty of food for our money, all of it delicious. The chicken in the curry was some of the tenderest I've had, and the sides (spring rolls and prawn toast) were huge! It was honestly one of the best Chinese takeaways I've ever had, we were really impressed!

Friendly and welcoming, food was reasonable

Smells nice but don't be fooled I'm always disappointed there are two other better Chinese takeaway in the town

Love it here! Been using them regularly for the past 5 years. Tasty food and reliable delivery.

Food is always fresh and hot. Staff very friendly. Love the place.they do home delivery service which I have also used A few times which is excellent.

Beautiful food as always. Always my first choice.

Been coming here since I was a child. Lovely food and lovely people.

Good food with dishes cooked fresh to order. Portions are decent size as well.

Although it's been in Cheadle years, and yes its had lots and lots of management/staff turn over, it's still managed to stay consistent. I love it. Whether it's a Billy no mates night with messy noodles that just wont quit, or hunt the spring roll night with a fav friend (noodles would work too, but the fav friend would need to be understanding) it's good all round chinese. Not had a bad one yet! Dim sum is a go to fav at the moment

Great range of dishes at good prices, and very quick service

Only had one dish but OMG tasty as!! Used to travel down to The Sizzling Wok in Newcastle but this can definitely be my new local Chinese. Cant wait try the other dishes 🤤

Pearl Dragon Cheadle 681766052 been eating here since it opened in 1978 ordered tonight meal did not turn up, why did they take the order and not deliver it , they could of told us so we could of ordered from some where else

Used Pearl Dragon for 20+ years, food always good when collecting, unfortunately not always the case with delivery. We are 15 min away and normally 45 min +, more recently often more, today 1 1/2 hours and you could tell. Such a shame. Unless collecting will start to look elsewhere for delivery.

Very good food. Brilliant customer service 😊

Excellence in Chinese cooking with some tasty English dishes too. Superb.

Dont do gravy!! only bbq gravy ?

Great food and always quick. Generous portions.
