My father bought fish cakes and chips from Wok-inn today, 24/07/2014. Upon serving them at home,…read morethe chips, were totally disgusting. I took them back to the chip shop, and was told that they were yesterday's chips, and had been left all night in the frier. The assistant told me he asked the owner of the shop what to do with them, and was told to fry them for resale the day after. They did reimburse my dad his money, but the owner refused to talk to me, he was at the back of the shop, he blamed his sister instead, who was unfortunately not on the premises. The wok inn does really good business, making good profit. Better profits, should mean better service. The public deserve better service than this. This business prepares and handles food. After today's incident, I am taking my business else where.

I was given fantastic reviews by other people about this place.

Food itself was bland and tasteless, burnt vegetable rolls and barely cooked or edible chips from there. I won't be buying again there is far better out there

This was the first place I've had dim sum, and thankfully I went with my partner who is a lot more…read moreexperienced at ordering than I am. We got the: - chilli + black bean ribs - spicy XO turnip squares - preserved duck egg and pork congee - char siu buns - prawn rice rolls - sui mai - a pot of tea To the best of my recollection, all of the food was cooked well and pretty delicious. Since this was my first time, I didn't exactly have anything to compare it against, but my partner also approved. My favourite was the turnip cake, which I'm probably going to insist on getting upon subsequent dim visits (and have done, on the one other occasion I've been).The servers that we spoke to were all friendly, and the restaurant was busy but had a nice atmosphere as a result. There was a good level of background chatter, but it was never too loud or distracting. Looking forward to returning one day (hopefully soon!)

Visited here with my partner and his mother to celebrate Chinese New Year and overall I really…read moreenjoyed it. I've never been to Pearl of the Orient before, but I really loved their neighbouring bar's food so was happy to try this place out for the special occasion. The food itself was 5 stars, but I'm taking 1 star off due to speed and portion-size. ~ Atmosphere: If you're looking for a fancy night, Pearl of the Orient really gives it. Sleek and classy, this place has all the makings of an upscale restaurant. Probably the poshest Chinese restaurant I've ever been in! ~ Customer Service: The customer service was great, but the speed was really slow. Granted, we came on Chinese New Year which also happened to fall on a Saturday night, so I can't speak for the speed of the service for other times, but we waited over an hour for our food to arrive. As I recall, Ba Orient didn't take as long with the food so it could've been entirely that the kitchen couldn't handle the packed hall of diners, and some of the chefs may have been off themselves to celebrate the New Year. So, the long wait times may possibly not be a regular thing. ~ Food: Absolutely gorgeous. I'll be honest, since I moved to Cardiff from California, I really had to lower my standards on quality Chinese food since there's little to no competition for an authentic Chinese restaurant. However, Pearl of the Orient's food is probably good enough to hold its own even in San Francisco! The Hong Kong stye crispy roasted pork was heavenly and the sea-spiced aubergine was out of this world! The meal was so delicious and you can definitely taste the quality. The only disappointing thing is the portion sizing! I ordered 7 dishes total for 3 people which normally should've been plenty, but everything was in such small portions that we were only filled up when we ordered an extra dessert. Great tasting food, but if you're looking for a Chinese-style "feast", then you definitely need to order a lot more. I would've added more orders on, but with the wait times we decided in the end to not bother. Oh yeah, for the dessert, go for the fried custard buns. OMG! --- Overall, I'm happy to give Pearl of the Orient a try again. It's a tad bit expensive, but in my opinion you're paying an extra surcharge for the magnificent decor and atmosphere. The food is incredible, but you might want to order a lot more than you had originally planned. However, if I come back another time and the horrendous wait is still in effect, I would have to pull the rating down.

I went with a group of friends, the service was a bit slow but the food was a gastronomic feast we…read moreall ordered to much and shared, as is the custom in many south east asian feasts. The flavours unleashed were incredible as you would expect from a middle tier restaurant, you can expect to pay at least £20 a head but it is well worth it, try to avoid to much rice don't buy it just because its what you usually do. The point is to try many different meat, fish and poultry dishes not fill up on rice. The dishes come out on these little trays with fairy light candles to keep them warm a nice touch and practical. I would go as a group of 4 maybe a double date and be spontaneous try many new dishes you've never thought of having the taste is amazing. I would recommend going for special occasions, meals with family members or the introduction to the in-laws or celebrating engagement. If you are going for a birthday party It might take to long for the service, Its your call.

This long established restaraunt used to be reliably average…read moreA friend and I had a had the set meal for two there last night (£25 inc a soft drink and an icecream) and the food was poor with the exception of the chicken balls which were old, discoloured, sour, decomposing, unfit and inedible. We left them and told the waitress, a very young girl, when she collected the. dishes. She said she would tell 'them'. 'They' didn't appear or send a message back and no more was said about it. Decor poor. Fishtank empty and stagnant. Toilets Gents unuseable, Ladies poor. Service very average. Management invisable.
