Pearl Dragon in Staffordshire Moorlands

Been a customer for some years with minimal complaints, but sadly last night had one, if the worst meals I have ever known, Chicken with spring onion and ginger with egg fried rice. Very little chicken, no spring onion, slight fragrance of ginger, however copious amounts uncooked white onion, few carrots and a watery consistence of sauce. Complicated with boiled rice and a smattering of egg flakes.

We decided to place an order this evening here. To try it as we had never been before. If there was an open for zero starts I would definitely be clicking it. We now wish we hadn’t bothered. The food is absolutely disgusting. Don’t waist your money.

Wouldn’t order again. Over charges me by £20 and took over 2 hours arrive! “Blamed the snow” I live a mile away! Food cold greasy. Phoned them and prices gone up apparently but I ordered off website menu! Order from china chef in future it’s better food and cheaper. Thought I’d try these guys “never again scammers!”.

I took my family on a trip back to my homeland from the West Coast of the USA. We stayed for a few days at Alton Towers but decided to venture out one night to grab some food. We stumbled across this little diamond of a place tucked away down a narrow side street. This was my family's first every trip to the UK so they were not accustomed to what food choices there are so we dove in an got a plethora of dishes to try.The service was great, polite and attentive. Portion sizes were very good and the quality of the food was also very high. There wasn't a scrap left by the end of the meal! It's funny, we spent just over 4 weeks traveling the UK and having all sorts of adventures, however, 1 of the most memorable events was the night we found the Pear Dragon and ate it at Alton Towers on an ironing board.Already plotting a return in 2021! ;o)**A little update, after 2years we were able to get back and visit Alton Towers and stopped here on the way back. Just as awesome and such a family memory we all cherish. Delish!

Nice meal the only thing was the side door on the pictures was left open to allow anything to get in the kitchen where the food is prepared as you can see from the pictures there is a mesh on the door to shut to allow ventilation to the cooking area but seems they cannot be bothered to use the mesh door

First order was Lovley and fresh delivered hot. Today's order not as good. Chicken balls like string, soup chicken chow mine was hot fresh but chicken again like string

This takeaway used to be good for food and delivery but for the sixth or seventh time now, we've endured delivery times far in excess of the unusual 1 hour delivery slot they have recently come to promise. Last time, it was 1.5 hours from phone to table. Right now, we have been waiting 2 hours and ten minutes for a delivery. Still no sign. If you don't live on their doorstep, then avoid them and go elsewhere. It's just a matter of getting more drivers....not a tough ask in the current climate if you're a busy takeaway!

Very disappointed, after looking forward to enjoying a nice meal. We dont often have a takeaway but as we had been busy all day decided to treat ourselves. We chose a set menu for 2 thinking that this will be their signature dish and shouldn't go wrong with the food, however:The positives; the ribs starter was really nice and set us up to look forward to enjoy the mains.The portions are very generous but on this occasion this was in reality a negative as it meant more waste for the bin.The negatives; the pork dish had very little pork meat within the meal and was 'substituted' with a processed pork meat (Spam like) which was tasteless, slimy and really off putting.The crispy fried chicken dish was tough with the batter being soggy.The beef dish again lacked flavour with the meat again appearing to be processed and was overdone resulting in it being somewhat chewy.We have had good meals in the distant past from the Pearl Dragon but unfortunately we will not be rushing back, clearly the takeaway has not lost a regular customer here but on the flip side it will not have gained one either.

Collection is fine and food is lovely but the delivery service is very poor. Order placed and told up to 1 1/2 hours but almost two hours later no food. When called to chase all they say is we are very busy, it will be another 20 minutes!! Not good enough. When you have taken an order and the money you need to deliver in the timescale stated. Up your game Pearl Dragon!!

We've frequented a few different Chinese takeaways in the towns surrounding us (Leek, Ashbourne, Cheadle & Blythe Bridge) but have found that Pearl Dragon is our favourite so far! The food is fresh, tasty & plentiful, with a great selection on the menu. The service has always been quick & efficient too.
