Pearl Garden - Lagos

Pearl Garden continues to dazzle as the best place for family and business Chinese dining on Victoria Island. Impeccable service, good customer service from long term staff offering recognition and respectful welcome to regular patrons. Good quality food somewhat pricey but good value, flavorful and fresh. What's there not to like?

The place is nice with very high ceilings, Chinese decor. Can probably accommodate 200 converts. Food is excellent Chinese from various regions. A little pricy though because they add VAT and mandatory service charge thereafter. The service was not fantastic though. They have to straighten up a little bit and waiters should actually wait the tables they are assigned instead of watching celebrities at other tables. Dim Sun's are excellent and I would recommend one has a dim sun brunch there. Wine is way too expensive, prefer Jasmin tea...

Conspicuously located along Tiamiyu Savage street (same street with the more popular Terra Kulture) in the upscale Victoria Island area of Lagos, Pearl Garden Chinese Restaurant does not disappoint with its Oriental theme and opulence. As I walked through the grand double door entrance manned by a doorman of course my eyes heralded a large partitioned restaurant floor, with large chandeliers hanging pretty and and walls adorned with Oriental art. Aesthetically pleasing. Space, they say, is the ultimate luxury. There is plenty of it here. COVID 19 protocols are still observed; a compulsory temperature scan and hand sanitizer applied before proceeding to sit. It was a group dining and I was directed upstairs, where I was ushered into one of the private dining rooms customary with upscale Chinese restaurants. The red rug lining the staircase was a nice regal touch but it needs to be changed; it is a tad faded and almost threadbare. The air conditioning upstairs was way better than it was downstairs; perhaps because it was a private room. The meals were really good; from the spring rolls starter to the main course and fruits dessert. Well presented and delectable. The Chapman I drank was on point too. Wait time before the main course was about 45 minutes. Service was good and organized. I did not use the restroom, thus unable to comment on that. There is wheelchair access only to the ground floor; no elevator. Parking is limited and there was no one to assist with that; a key service detail missing. Recommended as a good choice for an Oriental dining experience; more for a group than individual.

Do you have any food allergies? Thoughtful question by my host. I have none. So we ended up here. Mini feast fast for 3. Tasteful dishes. Lovely ambience. Well maintained actually because I was here in 2012 and it still looks good. Toilet was clean and staff were really responsive. Parking spaces may be an issue though they have a way of making it work. I can 't talk about pricing, someone else paid (my host), but she would have let me know if it were overpriced.

This is a nice and cozy restaurant in Victoria Island Lagos. Wonderful customer service and a serene ambience. It is a good location to host a few friends and have a very small party. The parking lot is just outside the building but it's a bit hilly. Overall, it's a great place to be and the food is really nice. I would love to go back there again.
