The Oriental Pearl

I have never had the pleasure of eating at this place but I have been to the bar twice and its fantastic a great atmosphere and lovely décor. I hope to try the food very soon (o:

Awful food. Beautiful bar though and nice wine. Just don’t eat here.

Great chinese food. We had one of the platters which gave you a few different things to try. It was well presented and fresh and tasty. The décor is attractive with a dining area at one end and a more relaxed bar area with sofas. They also do a Special Business Set lunch for £5.99 including a drink and a Sunday Buffet which I am yet to try.

We like this restaurant very much. It’s a chinese/​cantonese restaurant on the end of the West Bridgford High Street. It was overhauled two or so years ago, after beginning to look tired. The overhaul is excellent, so the surrounding now suit the food.
We have eaten there on many occasions, and never been disappointed. They do an excellent set menu lunch throughout the week for a very good price — this seems to be a well kept secret although they clearly advertise it on the side of the building! It’s always a quiet meal at lunchtime.
The evening menu is comprehensive and served efficiently.
It’s certainly good value for money. — good food cooked well.

In the hunt for a slightly different lunchtime hideout from work I decided to try the Pearl (Chinese) in West Bridgford. To be honest I had always associated Chinese food as something I would eat in the evening rather than lunch, no reason for that, so having now tried this place as at lunch I can gladly say it is a definite winner.
After ordering a platter to share for two people it arrived looking very well presented and it immediately dawned on me that actually Chinese food is very well suited to a quick business lunch.
The portions were nice and bite sized and it also allowed you to sample a good variety of different things in one meal, so if you did find something a little unusual for your tastebuds there was always another option to take the taste away!
The place is well decorated and in a prime spot in the middle of West Bridgford just off the pedestrian zone on Main Street. Also nice to see that they had a Chinese beer on draft (probably brewed in England!!) so I could try and get into the spirit of the surroundings.

This is great chinese food, and especially good value if you go for their all you can eat buffet on a Sunday.
