I’m a giant Chinese language takeaway fan however had by no means really been to a restaurant that gives the delicacies, so when the Lynn Information determined to begin doing weekly meals opinions, this was a should.
I’ve pushed previous Pearl River many occasions and each time I eye it up as a spot I wish to go to, so it was the right excuse to go to.
As you stroll within the door, there’s a bar to the correct with a bit seating space in entrance and a big fish tank as a wall function. It felt fairly relaxed and welcoming, with cool lighting and Chinese language-style décor all through.
A waiter greeted my companion and I and we had been politely requested to sit down within the little bar ready space whereas our desk was being cleaned.
The bar attendant requested if we needed to get a drink to place onto our tab whereas we waited, so we each grabbed a Coke (£3.30), which I feel is a bit dear.
After ready about 5 minutes, we had been proven to our desk which had two bowls of complimentary prawn crackers on it, which was beautiful.
We visited at 8pm on a Saturday, and it was actually busy, with each desk occupied. There was a giant group of individuals for a birthday sat behind us, and we received the impression it was a well-liked restaurant.
The worth per particular person was £25.50 for all you may eat off the starter and mains menu, with all of the dishes then put into the center of the desk to share amongst you.
There was a good selection of 23 starters, together with soups and a spread of vegetarian and vegan choices. Brandon and I selected salt and pepper prawns, satay rooster skewers, smoked rooster, seaweed and he additionally had spring rolls.
We each absolutely loved the starters, the prawns notably shocking me as they had been so good and I don’t usually like them.
We had been introduced an entrée course of duck with wraps, sauce, cucumber and spring onion slices, whereas we had been selecting from the primary menu.
There have been 88 mains to select from together with beef, rooster, pork dishes, vegetarian and seafood dishes, noodles, rice and chips.
We each selected candy and bitter rooster balls, rooster chow mein, salt and pepper chips and I had beef curry to myself.
We each actually loved the primary. The dishes had been filled with flavours and we each thought they tasted nicer than a takeaway. The one fault I may say is that the rooster balls had been a bit too oily.
After we completed the mains, the waiter introduced over two heat moist wipes to wash our palms.
Pearl River is open 5pm-10.30pm, Wednesday to Monday. There’s a buffet menu, gluten-free buffet menu and a takeaway service.
