Pearl Dragon salmon ginger and spring onion
We have been here quite a few times over the last few years, and it is consistent in service and food, so it is currently our favourite Chinese restaurant for this area.
Although the interior is not new and plush, it is comfortable and, being a large restaurant with an upstairs area, it is great for large groups. Tables are nicely placed, so you have plenty of room between your neighbouring diners.
The staff are professional, albeit a little serious and they do not have conversation, but the Manager there makes up for this, as he is a very sociable man, with good customer service skills. They have plenty of repeat diners, and it is easy to see why.
Peal Dragon hot and spicy soup
Peal Dragon crispy aromatic duck
There are lots of Chinese restaurants in Southend-on-Sea, but this is definitely one of the best.
Our favourites dishes are:
Salmon with ginger and spring onion (really lovely salmon)
Hot and sour soup (full of vegetables and prawns)
Vegetable spring rolls
Crispy Aromatic Duck with pancakes
There is an extensive menu, so lots to choose from.
