Visited two times on my recent visit to Frome. Customer service was great. The food was spot-on with fresh ingredients, good strong flavours, and some interesting dishes on the take-out menu, which is different from the dine-in menu. The dine-in menu is simplified to pick your preparation, then your protein, then the starch option. I liked the simplicity of the menu. Just be aware that the take-out menu is has some different options. Final note, their Carlsberg beer on tap is delightful.

We loved it here, had a meal when visiting Frome and it was probably the best Chinese meal we have ever eaten, and we've eaten many in our time! Everything so well cooked and flavourful. Kind staff and good atmosphere. Would highly recommend the Udon Noodle dishes. Plenty of vegetarian options if you have veggies in your party. We'll be back when we return to Somerset.

Love this place. Have ordered many many times over the years. Our faves are salt n pepper prawns, Thai Green curry and black bean chilli :)

THE best Chinese!! Extensive vegan menu aswell which is a huge bonus. Staff are always lovely and always chat to the children when we pick up our take out. Definitely recommend!
Alex Mayger
Good atmosphere and good food. Menu gives you lots of options and ways of ordering unique dishes.

It was marvellous, an early working supper, the menu was Fab, and the food very authentic. The staff are very sociable as well. Great outlook over Bath Street and the historic St Johns church.

I hadn't been to Frome in 3 years so someone recommended I eat in the Italian. I went in the wrong door and ended up here and I'm so glad I did. The food was delicious and the service was very good. They had a trainee waitress on that evening and they checked my order just in case but she got it spot on. The food came really quickly and it was full of flavour and quite a large portion.
Great value, great service.

Both takeaway and in house are great. This is our go to Chinese food in Frome. It's always fast, hot, great quality, and we get little fortune cookies (that are concerningly accurate?)
Liz Luton
Great Chinese, good menu with enough selections to suit everyone. Good value and very tasty. Staff friendly and helpful. Nice bright and clean dining area. Only drawback is that it is upstairs which are quite steep.

Oh god, this was bloody good, and I've eaten a lot of Chinese food. Ordered a delivery on Friday, busy time, came quickly. I've never seen such an extensive selection for vegetarians with meat alternatives. Superb. I'm not a vegetarian but I only really eat chicken and seafood, but I'd ease off the chicken easily if every Chinese offered these dishes. I went for the satay and kung po - both lovely. I'm only here for 2 weeks, and hopefully I'll grab more from here.

We ordered food from here over a week ago as an alternative Mother’s Day meal due to current global circumstances.
The food was absolutely delicious! Lots to choose from, all of what we had was eaten.
Portion sizes were okay. The rice and curry was spot on, though some of the appetisers were too small.
The pricing was okay, though with the style of the menu, you want to purchase multiple dishes, which quickly add up in cost. Not something I’d be able to afford regularly as I’d need multiple dishes to fill me.
The staff over the phone were very polite and friendly, as well as safety conscious in line with the current global situation, explaining the delivery process thoroughly.
however we did have to wait an hour for it to be delivered, which can be forgiven as lots of people are ordering deliveries at the time of writing this.

I ordered from Dragon Pearl recently, and so far they're the best Chinese restaurant. I've found in Frome. When I called to order, the person I spoke to was well spoken and polite. They can take card payment over the phone. The food was delivered about 40 minutes after I ordered, and arrived so hot that I accidentally burned my mouth!
I ordered egg fried rice, chicken in black bean sauce, and sweet and sour chicken balls. All the food was delicious. The black bean sauce was well seasoned, with a good consistency. All of the chicken was tender and seemed like good quality meat. I'll definitely be trying out some of the other items on the menu.
Good service, good food, 100% worth the price!

We are staying in Frome and read in the guest book a recommendation for this restaurant so we went. First the good points. The staff were welcoming and the place looked ok. However on closer inspection there were lots of dead insects on the window ledge between the outer and inner double glazing. Not a health issue I know but not what you want to look at an insect mortuary while you are eating. The prices looked more expensive than other top end Chinese we are used too so we were expecting a treat but were very disappointed. The chicken and sweet corn soup was fine but not the main meals. I had the king prawn sizzler which when it arrived was just king prawns onions and spring onion, completely tasteless. My partner had chicken sate sizzler which was chicken and just a few peppers again very little taste with no taste of nuts at all. The portion size was ok on the meals and rice. We had a coffee each and got the bill, £42.50. I’m afraid I can’t recommend this restaurant and am puzzled at the mixed reviews. Perhaps there use different chefs ??

The food was amazing. It was quickly served. It was hot and fresh. The staff were very attentive. The whole evening was fabulous. Thank you.
Gordon Watson
The staff were polite and friendly the restaurant has a clean oriental feel. The food was overcooked, lacking in flavour or not what we ordered. Worst still it was very expensive. Nearly sixty pounds for two having buffet food and soft drinks.
Loretta Jane Pritchard
Always excellent food & friendly service in atmospheric surroundings we tried other big city restaurants & this always exceeds those a little gem hidden in Frome's skyline
Megan Doidge-Saunders
Had a lovely meal thus evening, we opted for the a-la-carte buffet and the food was fantastic, service was 5* and the staff were very helpful and accommodating, easy access for less able bodied. Will definitely be back again
Mike Roberts

Johnny Robinson

Kurt Eckard
Very very poor customer service when dealing with their mistake....Rude when asked them to rectify
Scott Latham
Food was nice however had issues from the start with ordering the buffet, the food was really slow to come out are table sat down at 7.15 first dish didn't come out till 8.30 then was advise by the manager that all FOOD MUST BE ATE otherwise we couldn't order more food and would incur a surcharge on a bloody buffet never have a heard this before.
We were sharing the food and were told that we couldn't by the waitress.
There was 17 paying adults and 1 child when everyone had left they were trying to charge me and my wife for an extra person even after we give all the names of everyone that had sat to eat and laid are numbers made sense and the managers didn't.
Will never go back worst place for a buffet around save the hassle order a takeaway from another place
Joel Ash
lovely food and great service from the waitress, Yasmin :-)

I am surprised by the negative comments regarding Dragon Pearl, Frome. We have been many times now and have always received excellent service and excellent food. Small bowls really? That's your complaint! The idea is you take little but often and don't waste food. The idea that all food must be eaten is to stop people over-ordering. They do hate waste but I see no real problem with that. Having said that some waste is expected and as long as it's not excessive that's okay.
It can be a little confusing getting your head around the ordering method but the staff are always on hand to explain it but granted English is not their first language (but it's better than my Chinese) and you're usually left even more confused! But then who really cares. Slow service can happen anywhere you go and with a larger than normal group this has to be expected sometimes. On the whole ours has always been at a relaxing pace giving time for good company & conversation between courses. You can re-order as many times as you can eat. The quality of the food is excellent. The restaurant is clean and a pleasant place to be. We'll be back for sure.

Lovely food, reasonable prices and brilliant service! Will definitely be coming back again.

This used to be my favourite Chinese, used it all the time (about twice a month if not more).
I won't now, got told last time we went for collection that you would deliver to Chapmanslade, ring up you charge £5 delivery, fair enough. Then get told that I cannot have a delivery because what I want isn't over £25 (I cannot collect I've just put both the kids to bed and am on my own. Which I did point out to the person on the phone)....very disappointed by this service seeing as I'm paying for the delivery and we use you on a regular basis.
Toni Lanfear
Brilliant food, great hosts, best service for miles, bright and clean, would recommend to anyone, well worth going back again and again
Jamie Dennis
Very impressed, came all the way from cornwall x x
