Not as good as it used to be. New owners. Food is very hit and miss. I used to love it!
UPDATE! CAME OUT OF LOCKDOWN...AGAIN. CRAVING CHINESE FOOD. GAVE PEARL GARDEN ANOTHER CHANCE. THE FOOD WAS GOOD THIS TIME. MAYBE THEY HAVE A NEW CHEF.
Just an update...went their 5 days ago, April, 2022. I like the Seafood Basket. Mainly because I like the texture of the basket. It's quite thick and I like the texture. When I went to pick it up, I was informed that they are trying a NEW way of making the basket. Pity they didn't tell me that when I phoned in my order because I wouldn't have ordered it. I hadn't eaten all day so I got it. I HATED IT! The basket was made of tiny fried noodles, which disintegrated when it touched the sauce. Also, the sauce was so thick that it was lumpy. I had to water it down. I won't be back there in a hurry. VERY DISAPPOINTING!
This meal was 1 star rated!
What a gem! We just moved into the area and tried Pearl Garden tonight - so glad we did, we will definitely be coming back! We got one of the banquets and there was sooo much food - we had to take a lot of it away. Amazing value too - $38pp!! Food delicious, friendly service. Very busy - lots of people coming in for takeaway orders. Can't wait to come back again!
Amazing old school feel. Food was delicious, home cooked prawn toast was some of the best I’ve ever had. Service was spot on. Will be back again asap.
Fabulous food, lovely friendly helpful staff. Highly recommend.
Pearl Garden is the best Chinese food in the area, the Mongolian Beef and Fried rice are absolutely amazing. Their Roast Duck with Pineapple is the best duck around, and the pineapple makes it sweet and amazing.
Visited this hidden gem today thanks to a Facebook group called Dim Sims 4 Lyfe whose recommendations advised us to try their home made Dim Sims. As a self proclaimed connoisseur of the humble Dim Sim, I must agree these dimmies were sensational. We also treated ourselves to some beautifully cooked curried beef with fried rice and braised steak and fried noodles. The meat was as tender as can be and the bonus for both of us was no MSG in any of it. Friendly young man looked after us...
Pearl Garden has now become our go-to for good Aussie Chinese and one of the best Dim Sims in Melbourne. Highly recommended... 😋
One of the best Chinese restaurants in the Hills. Nothing fancy, but consistently good food (except for the fried dim sims -sometimes they are overcooked) at reasonable prices.
The fried rice and satay beef are particularly good.
