Pearl River in North Norfolk

Whoevers been cooking the sweet & sour pork balls lately needs to be forced to eat there own cooking! There so over cooked you need a chainsaw to cut one in haft

Probably been ordering here since childhood, I can say they do have their ups and downs with food (sometimes it tastes funny) but I still go there everytime so its good. Don't order the lobster chowmein tho lmao

A very good takeaway. We enjoyed fresh taste, especially stir fry broccoli.

Quick service, though we had pre-ordered. Very polite & a good atmosphere, food was tasty & filling.

I was hesitant to order from here because of the bad reviews. I did anyway and the food was very good indeed. I would recommend Pearl River

Have always loved this place, best Chinese in Fakenham, wouldn't go anywhere else.

Halve measures Not good Every other Chinese you have a full tub

Super take-away. Wide range available. Singapore vermicelli, when available is recommended.

Orederd and collected within 10mins, front of shop was excellent, polite and helpful, great food to boot!

What a disappointment!! It's got to be the worst Chinese meal we've ever had. We are here on holiday and visited the take away on our way back to our caravan after a wonderful day at the beach. When it came to dishing it all out to a family of 11, it was apparent that the chicken chow mein smelt like an ashtray!! The chicken and pineapple had no taste at all, the sweet and sour chicken balls, which were actually strips, weren't cooked properly and the chicken was still pink, everything else was bland and the quantity of cabbage/pak choi was over proportioned. The special foo yung was just a mushy mess, all in all a major disappointment to the end of a fabulous day. I would not recommend nor visit this take away again.

Lovely little takeaway. We had a small order, but it was tasty, quick, and the staff super friendly.

Decent enough takeaway but then I am spoiled here at home. Was nice to find it.

Have had some lovely takeaways from here but tonight's was very greasy & not much chicken in the sweet & sour chicken a bit disappointed.

Said of Google it’s open even though it’s not. Load of rubbish, thanks for wasting my petrol.

Boy on the phone was rude needs to get a job he likes . Not much chicken in the Charmaine, and it was very bland and Gracie . The sweet and sour chopped up chicken was overcooked hard oily with a tub half an inch of oil in the bottom and the chicken was chewy . Rice was dry chips was nice got that right . Last time I will order from there waste of my money

Cracking good, great service, what more do you want from your local Chinese!

Popped out for a cheeky Chinese not expecting much. Very good food for a very reasonable price. The crispy seaweed really tickled my tastebuds, better than some high end London chinese

I really wonder why I keep ordering off them well no more I say this is the last time they serve me up there junk Everything tonight was just horrible

id like to thank pearl river for always being there to restore my faith in the take away and convenience food industry. after constantly time after time receiving over priced uner flavoured rubbish in most shops and take aways i visit now days, this place is always there to make me believe there are people out there that do actually taste their own food and do actually have taste buds that appreciate flavour. definitely one of if not the best chinese take aways ive eaten at.

Tried ringing a few minutes before 5pm as if you ring after 5pm waiting times can be very long. The lad on the phone had a rude tone and said they don't open until 5pm. So a few days later i parked outside at 4.50pm as I thought I would go in instead. Tried ringing and sat there to see him sat behind the counter on his phone. Went to the door and stood there until bang on 5pm then it was opened to let me in. To me surely getting orders in a few minutes before opening would benefit any business if you are already there. Anyway I've been here a few time and the food is average but not amazing. It's always too greasy and the portions are on the small side. The main thing for me is the attitude of this chap behind the counter. It's almost as if he hates people coming in to order and hates people ringing. There's another Chinese in fakenham where I rang at 4pm not realising it didn't open until 5pm. I apologised and the guy said he was more than happy to take my order and to collect when they open. Friendly customer service and manners work both ways and go a long way. I only use this other takeout now and the food is delicious. Pearl rivers attitude put me off using them as I'm sure it has others.

Great selection of food, freshly prepared. Quick service and great tasting food, thank you

Really nice food. Friendly and helpful staff helped me with my order as I have food intolerences. Definitely use again.

The best Chinese I have had in many years.

My husband went to pearl River Friday night he entered the shop at 2 minutes to 5.00 and was told not opened yet, while the boy was on his phone texting. The meal was bland the chicken stir fried was missing the chicken and the sweet and sour pork balls were soggy. We won't be going again very poor service and even poor food.

Was busy but told 1 hour was here 45 mins food was nice hot and no complaints . Will order again.

last.minute decision for some food. Didn't regret it at all, friendly service and good tasting food. I would have no qualms about using them again at any time

Food is okay the young guy behind the till was pretty rude and unhelpful. I understand he probably doesn't want to spend his weekend working there but I'd rather travel further for good manners.

lovely food hit and miss with delivery, sometimes fast, sometimes need reminding

Lovely food maybe a bit to much onion I'll have some more of that 😋

This is the best Chinese takeaway restaurant in Fakenham......

Best Chinese takeaway I've been to first class

Delivery. Excellent. . Telephone order are good. Some time it takes a while to get through on the phone as they are akways busy. But can't fault the two gentlemen who normally delivers in fakenham. So. Quick. They knew they. Rounds of by heart. Had no problem at all with this take away.

Quick service ..food was lovely ..defo use again

Just dropped in and they seemed very busy, used by the local community which I always believe is a good sign. The food we ordered was of a good standard, will need to try something else on our next visit just to ensure and confirm the standard.

Love it here and it's 15 miles from me. So worth the mid way stop. Ps don't bother calling on a sat rock up a little earlier than when you wanna eat.

I'm vegatarian, their veg chow mein is lovely, not over keen on their spring rolls, their pastry is too thick, their chips are delicious

Good food, reasonable prices. They deliver as well

Fakenhams best Chinese takeaway by far infact the best I've ever had and I've lived in alot of different places in my 56yrs ... Its absolutely top notch enjoy from Harrison

Been here 3 times now when visiting Norfolk, and i can honestly say its the best Chinese take away ive ever been to , good quality tasty and fresh , please dont ever change what your doing 🥰

Still the best in Fakenham great service from staff and great home delivery service

Decent takeaway with fairly standard fare

Always go here! Great food and friendly staff!

Poor service. Called through our order at 19:00 for collection at 19:30. Upon arrival they had forgotten our order which they later found on the floor. Sat outside waiting for a further 30 minutes or more.

Decent Chinese takeaway. Ordered loads and whole order completely correct. Friendly service, Covid19 compliant.

Great food good prices and quick service

Always a fantastic meal to be had, perfect temperature and full of flavour, have been eating from this location for years, always have loved the deep fried chilli beef!

A really good place for a takeaway, or if you prefer go too their restaurant in Kings Lynn ( my oldest brother goes there every time he's over from Australia.

Always good food and nice people

Quick service and food spot on.

Always been good food here this is our go-to place however left very disappointed today when we got 4 bbq spare ribs for £5.60. Usually get alot more. Otherwise would have given 5 stars

Excellent food, always had a good takeaway from here. Wonderful service.

Reviced food on time n taste good but sauce had gone everywhere efe the bag was full of it driver handed over with out a care about it

Worst Chinese I've ever had , order was wrong food was tasteless incredibly disappointed I would never order from them again

Really enjoyed the food last night

Didn't think it was as good as before

Meaty ribs. Good all round and the best in town by some distance.

Waited 20mins over collection time to receive cold greasy food.. won't be returning

Great takeaway food always hot and tasty

Bland, tasteless, ended up in the bin and I really detest wasting food. The smoked chicken was burnt and disgusting, the satay chicken tasted more like a chicken curry but not even a nice chicken curry! There was absolutely nothing good I could say about this food!

Best place around for Chinese food

Egg fried rice was poor, tasted like boiled rice and hardly any egg. Ordered sweet and sour but only got the meat and no sauce... Chips were bad. Other mains were ok but overall would not order again.

Meet not the best of quality could be better... Very chewy if woked that little bit longer wouldn't be so bad.Sauces and veg fine ...

Always good food, quick service, nice counter staff

Excellent quick service when ordering. Very generous portions and resonably priced.

Amazing food.. I could barely move after eating the portions bought

I had a set meal for one which was very nice, the wife had sweet and sour Cantonese style which she found a bit dry but she had a little of my sweet and sour sauce which helped, would of gived 5 stars if not for cantonese.

They insist on cash only but then don't have enough change to give you, plus they forgot some of our order and considering we drove from a village 10 miles away we weren't going back to pick it up. The food was average, you can tell the ingredients are not the best quality. Won't return again.

Possibly the worst Chinese take away we have ever had, ordered tender chicken with roast pork and bean sprouts in a barbecue sauce, deep fried crispy chicken in a Szechwan style, Singapore chicken fried rice, The chicken was boiled Chicken ? No roast pork at all and no barbecue sauce either, the crispy fried tender chicken was baked in an oven and soooo dry and over done you couldn't eat it, the rice was not bad not good but I've had worse, but the meal overall was awful we threw most of it away!!

Great customer service, always pleased with the quality of the food and the prices are very competitive! More than happy to go back time and time again!

Excellent, great value, brilliant food, great portions

Food arrived in decent time. Been given the wrong thing, rang the shop to try and sort out the issue. Got a call back and the issue had been resolved.

Great food, always quick delivery. Never had any problems & very friendly

Easy parking and fantastic food

It’s okay! Quick and cheap takeaway but nothing special.

Can't complain really - It only cost £7.00 for TWO portions of 'Plain Chow-Mein', freshly cooked, piping-hot & very tasty, if rather on the greasy side, but it certainly had a mix of decent ingredients & went down a storm - (I bought a beer, later, elsewhere, to wash it down) - Given the high prices of many other Norfolk Chinese take-aways, I'd STILL give these guys the thumbs-up, as I've used them 4-5 times over the last couple of years & not been disappointed once ! (NO, I DON'T know anyone there, at all, I'm just being fair, totally impartial & honest).

Had there food last night, it was the worst Chinese we have ever had,the chicken balls were just strips of southern fried chicken. Most of the food ended up in the bin and we ended up feeling sick and needing the toilet .they maybe cheap,but not when you can't eat it and have to throw it away.

Wasn't too bad had the Chinese with friends and they got the wrong order which they blamed us for and said that we said the wrong order numbers

Best Chinese in Fakenham never had a bad meal yet very quick and friendly keep it up guys

I went on Saturday, as I was visiting a friend. Beware, when dishes say they are suitable for vegetarians they are not! I was told that they have one pot of water that everything is boiled in and every thing is fried in the same oil. Even the boiled rice is unsuitable for vegetarians. I have given one star for at least being honest

My first visit. Bought Shrimp Curry Rice and Chips. Yummy. £7.20

Food is always great from here!

I always order from the pearl River and never have I ever been disappointed. The food is always top notch and the people are so friendly. Definitely would recommend people to come here.

Really gon dawn hill me and my partner orded a mile last night it come in the hr but it all look like it had been reheated chips was hard and way over cook chicken ships was chewy and batter was over cooked rice was dry.

Foods a bit bland and even a variety of different dishes tasted the same. Bit pricey as well.

If you want VERY GREASY Chicken Strips this is the plave for you. Also the Chicken Fried Rice from there is basically Egg Fried Rice with Chicken pieces and Peas added to it, so it's not Chicken Fried Rice at all
