More information on Oriental Pearl

Though this place attracts a huge tourist clientèle, there are plenty of locals who love it. In addition to the authentic Chinese ingredients used in all the dishes, some have an odd but delicious touch of Virginia Smoked Ham. Far from detracting from the dumplings, broths, and greens steeped in it, the flavor is subtly but pleasingly different than what you will find in other Chinese restaurants. There is Dim Sum service between 2p and 4p, with plenty of room for the carts to glide through the sparkling dining room with the ornate Chinese art at every turn. Do not miss the house special noodles that are deep-fried and then pan-fried with chives and Enoki mushrooms. The service is excellent and the ambiance is wonderfully sedate for such a popular tourist spot.Takeaway available.Disabled Access.
