Pearl Garden Restaurant

Best Chinese restaurant in Cairns. Nice people and wonderful food.
Salt and pepper calamari is the best I've ever had.
The sizzling steak is excellent.
Fried rice is perfect - not greasy.
The restaurant is in an old house.
The decor isn't much to look at but it is worth it for the food.
Tsingtao beer available as well as a good selection of wines and other beers.
Family friendly with high chairs available.

This place does exceptional traditional Chinese. We had beef and black bean and honey sesame chicken. Both dishes were EPIC!

This is hands down the best Chinese in Cairns!

We went to dine in after making a booking the day before, when we arrived the place was packed, but they couldn't find my reservation, that's because, me being the idiot I am, booked a table at Pearl Gardens in Brisbane by mistake. Even so, they were more than happy to give us a table as I insisted that I had a booking. When I finally realised I was the the idiot who called the wrong restaurant to book, I apologised for my mistake.

This didn't stop the staff from being amazing to us, they were friendly, efficient and fast. The food was amazing as always and the serving sizes are worth the price.

Have also ordered take away from here on many occasions, and have always been very happy with the service and the quality of the food.

Highly recommend the Chilli Garlic Chicken, Sizzling Mongolian Lamb and the Honey Pork.

Best Chinese in town. Fast and reliably good always. Never had a bad meal. Just wish they could deliver to us. But we are outside their delivery area.

Amazing food and I'm very picky. Lovely service, my new favourite spot. Definitely will be back. 5 stars to the team that work here. I had a delightful night❤

Good friendly service, and delicious meals.
Salt and pepper tofu was great. Would definitely eat there again.

Friends and family recommended pearl gardens in the past but I never got around eating in this restaurant. First time bringing the family here on Tuesday 22/8/23 and I must say, I am really impressed with the hospitality the waiter and waitress they showed when they welcomed us in. They were genuine, cared for the customers and asked if everything was okay. The restaurant is clean, had a warm feeling to it and it generally felt a warm place to dine in. The menu list wasn’t overbearing and they provided a whole range of Chinese cuisine for the family which my nephews really liked. The food was well presented, clean, not oily, well priced for 5 people for $169 and the portions were just right and we still had left overs which we took home. I highly recommend Pearl Gardens to anyone who is keen to have a great meal. We will definitely return in the near future. Great job guys 👍

Absolutely delicious highly recommend this restaurant, friendly service that also caters for special orders. We will definitely return.

Lovely little restaurant, great value for money. The food was excellent- all dishes on our table delicious. Will definitely be back!

amazing food,big portions
good service.. no cocktails although they can make up basic ones if they have the ingredients there

Good food. Customer service is very good. Atmosphere is calming and comforting, nice place.

No delivery and long wait times during peak dinner period but well worth the wait.

My husband and I get take away regularly from Pearl Garden Restaurant . The food is excellent, the service is always good. The staff are always helpful and friendly. I highly recommend this restaurant to all. If you don't want to cook or just crave a realy good chinese meal, you need to try the Pearl Garden Restaurant. Big thanks to all staff. I'll be seeing you real soon. Cheers Faye and Shane

Have travelled around the world extensively and I will say this would be the best Chinese meal ever. The service, the restaurant and the team were amazing. The food was so delicious, hot and presented so well. Would definitely recommend, but suggest booking as it’s very popular. Next time I’m in Cairns will definitely visit again 😀

Its the best chinese restaurant
My wife and i have a weekly booking

This is a must at least once a week we love everything about it

Amazing food!! Great servings

Not on Menulog or Uber eats, but they do deliver!
Some of the best food we had in Cairns! Mongolian beef was tender and so flavoursome, Singapore noodles delicious. My favourite was the sweet and sour pork, the sauce was well balanced and not too sweet.

OMG the food is amazing dine in or take away it's well worth the wait ! Wontons 😍 mmmmm , , was relatively inexpensive, definitely recommend you try it if you haven't
