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.

This place is amazing!



The Dim Sum is to die for: so fresh and just melts in your mouth! Also very cheap/average price of £8 per person for Dim Sum and the service is exceptional. We go back weekly and there are loads of regulars who do the same. Also it has had 5 star reviews in the Independent, Evening Standard and Guardian! Yum yum!

Pearl Liang Restaurant is absolutely overrated. They serve mediocre food that guarantees to give anyone a MSG attack. We had to send back a dim sum simply as it wasn't cooked through.


The Lotus leaf rice with king prawns has no more than two regular size prawns in it and they were finely chopped. Pearl Liang Restaurant is definitely not worth the hassle.

The Pearl Liang Restaurant is both stylish and delicious - it's always really nice to eat somewhere that is as well decorated as this. I went with a few friends and we all came to the conclusion that it would definitely be a place worthy of another visit.


If you like your Chinese food and you want to enjoy it in a brilliant enviroment then head down to Pearl Liang. You'll not be disappointed.
