The best restaurants serving Chinese food in South East

Crikey! How big are the portions! Very good food and great service

Great place food is great if u call up when u get there food is always ready

We had a lovely takeaway from here last night. Full of flavour, good sized takeaway portions. Friendly staff in the restaurant as well.

Called just after opening and quoted 2 hours for delivery but arrived earlier than that which was great. Food tasty and not as greasy as some other Chinese takeaways. Read some horror stories in other reviews about missing deliveries but our experience couldn’t have been better. Restaurant called just before leaving to check our address and driver also called just before arrival to confirm. Definitely recommend and would order again.

Delicious take away this evening for a very reasonable price. We had chicken and green pepper in black bean sauce, deep fried chicken and chilli in sweet and sour, chicken chow mein, egg fried rice, spring roll and a pot of sweet and sour sauce - total cost £29.90. I always panic when the meal is cooked so quickly, but on getting home it was hot and well cooked. I've marked atmosphere as two stars as, well, what do you need in a takeaway? A chair to wait, sorted.

Amazing food, great service. It is a shame they have now clised becayse if retirement. I wish them well!

We thought the Chinese where we live (rural Scotland) was bad. Surprised that the food was very similar here. Bog standard stuff

The lady taking the order was nice. The food came out quickly and was good. As an American visiting the UK for the 4th time I was used to my fiancé getting us Chinese at a different place, but it was closed for their holiday. So I don't have alot to compare to as Chinese is a bit different in the US. The other place my fiancé goes I do like a little better. But this place was still good. The atmosphere is hard to rate as it is not an eat in place. But it is very stark and sterile on the inside. Not much decoration or color.

The food is always cooked fresh. The flavours are vibrant and the ingredients of good quality. Consistently fantastic. Thank you

The delivery was really quick but the food was very poor. The spring rolls were massively over done and dry, the black bean and chicken had barely any sauce and was mainly just peppers and onion and the sweet and sour prawns were overly sweet. We don’t get takeaway much but this was a huge disappointment.

Just had takeaway delivered, have had poor food previously thought would give them a chance slimy cold satay chicken and totally inedible chips

Regularly order here. Fantastic food. Cheerful staff. Can't ask for more really

i wouldn’t recommend. while the food wasn’t bad, the waiter, upon being told that i was a vegetarian and would want a separate plate to the rest of my party, went on a ten minute tangent about how i don’t ‘fit the profile’ of a vegetarian. this is because ‘vegetarians are usually slim, and you are not’. he then went on to reiterate this a few more times in different ways, laughing despite the rest of our table was silent. as somebody who has suffered with multiple mental illnesses, including bulimia and body dysmorphia, this really made the rest of the meal very difficult to enjoy. i know i cannot expect the waiter to know my medical history, but that is the exact reason you do not say things like this. my father in law’s birthday meal, which he paid a lot of money for, was then clouded with an air of awkwardness that continued throughout the entirety of the meal.

Absolutely gorgeous meal! Don’t listen to the previous and recent reviews! Our first visit to The Pearl after a friend recommended it to us. We had, In my opinion, the best takeaway we’ve had for years! Non greasy, non oily, but extremely tasty, freshly cooked and fantastic value for money. The best thing for me was the sweet and sour chicken balls, ( the sauce was perfect and a natural colour, lovely consistency unlike other takeaways in the area) and the pork dumplings, wow, absolute heaven! Also the crispy chilli beef was fab! Highly recommend and will definitely return.

Amazing food- excellent quantity and reasonably priced. Half duck is really good... comes with 20 pancakes!! Had the 4 person set meal and added pork balls. Fed me husband x2 boys for dinner and lunch the following day!!
