Pearl Dragon Chinese Restaurant — Restaurant in England

The dim sum there was surprisingly delicious, in fact in my opinion it is much better than most in London. We went there for late lunch on a lovely weekend, the door said "reservation only", but we tried our luck as it wasn't too busy around 2pm, the owner gave us a table. Staff was friendly and paid attention to details. The prawn paste stuffed eggplant with black bean sauce was delicious. Glutinous rice wrapped in lotus leave was moist and tasty. BBQ pork buns and Cha Xiu (BBQ) rice noddle rolls were nice. Beef balls can be a pass. Two of us had 5 dim sum together which was quite filling. The final bill was GPB 34 which is much better value than others in London. If one happens to visit Southend, worth to try. Parking was a little challenge on the weekend, we were lucky as someone was leaving. A nice stroll by the water after a satisfying meal...

If we travel to the UK again in the future, we will definitely travel to Southend on sea for...

Whether it be a birthday, end-of-year grade celebrations or just a good day for it, the venue staff will be sure to find us a table. Don't be too jealous, but they know our names and are on first name terms. Just saying. The food is delicious and plenty. The prices are reflective of the outstanding service you receive and you'll want to come back pretty soon after you've left. This is a family run restaurant and it really shows with their consistency in service, dedication to experience and successfully applying the personal touch. It's a real treat and you'd be hurting yourself by not giving this "Palace of...
