Square Meal Review of Pearl Liang ?

The brightness of Sheldon Square quickly fades as customers step into Pearl Liang’s stylish but dim interior. It could be any time of day inside this handily located Chinese, but the place is at its best come dim sum o’clock; these little snacks, ordered with the aid of a pencil & paper, are the house speciality. Steamed scallop dumplings, spring onion & pork buns, cheung fun & mango pudding are all worth a dip, eaten among murals of spreading jasmine blossom. Swift, courteous service makes Pearl Liang popular with business lunchers, who choose Peking duck, hot & sour soup or sautéed bean curd with mushrooms from a large spread of mainly Cantonese & Szechuan dishes. Mixed drinks & offbeat nibbles, such as frozen asparagus with wasabi soy dip, are served in the cocktail bar.

    I was one of Pearl Liangs Ravers when it first opened. I live very close in Little Venice so used it very frequently. Having not been for a while, this place has fallen to pieces. when we arrived we waited about 15 mins before we where asked could we wait 10 mins. Then we where told are table booked for 8.30, its now 9pm (was not ready), would we like to sit in reception. I said no we would sit in the bar with a drink on the house for the mess up. I was told ok, while we where waiting, I witnessed the bar person pouring bits of wine brought back from the restaurant back into open house wine bottles in the bar. Then repour when orders came in.

    After being asked if we would like to stay in the bar area (NO NO NO) we have a table booked in the restaurant. We where given a table. The service was very bad BIG language problems trying to order, the food came in a very mixed up order The last starter came with our main course. I ordered a Sizzle hot plate. When it came out on the plate, not placed on sizzle in front of me I was told it sizzled in the Kitchen. In a very Aggresive manner.

    Half way through dinner they started taking the tea candles off the tables like we are now closing.

    So to the bill we where given a bar bill of £38 We only had a bottle of Water
    When I spoke to the Manager he said This is the drinks you had at the bar. one drink we had at the bar on you I told him for the 1 hour delay.

    I have gone on enough I will never go back and I will tell a lot of people.

    What a shame for me it was the best chinese in london.

    Pearl Liang- the site of many business lunches- a great standby.

    I've had the hot & sour soup- always good for a starter. I've also had mushroom & bean curd stir fry. I tend to go for vegetarian option (never really trusting the meat sources at restaurants) and there is a great selection here.

    Service is unobtrusive, but attentive. Ambiance is filled with business types or birthday celebrations, a bit too dark for my tastes, but can make you feel like you've really had a lunch break. A good pick for variety & 1 hour lunches.

    I went there last week with my wife and daughter. The athmosphere is very nice, the service ist quick and good. The food was excellent. We had a bery good Beijing duck, and the sizzling dishes are very delicious. Prices for wines are very reasonable. We had a very good dinner with excellent food and value for money.

    Went for Dim Sum on Sunday after reading very good things about it on foody blogs. It was excellent and very good value for money. It is in an office/residential development so all new but once in the restaurant you wouldn't know this. I would certainly return if I was in the area.

    The food was ok, not great. The service was rude and unfriendly. I would recommend that people use this restaurant for Takeaway only. We were celebrating a team Christmas do and the service was appalling which dampened the mood. Go here if you want to have your event ruined!

    Lovely restaurant. Pleasant atmosphere and the staffs are very friendly. We go here almost most times to have high tea. The food served there are nicely presented and tasty. But this time we discovered a dead cockroach near the end of our meal underneath a siew mai. Yuck! Put us off the rest of the meal.

    Hate it when people serve your meal with additional ingredients not listed on the menu. Won’t be going back there again.
