We had a banquet and the food was great. Service was attentive and fast. I enjoyed the plum sake in the wine list. Only drawback was that the room was very loud

Thank goodness Miss Pearl is now running this restaurant next to Southbank Theatre. Smart service understanding of ti.e constraints. Excellent food - we enjoyed the crispy eggplant, the roast chicken and the fish curry. Perfect for 3 and all delicious. Wine and coffee and out in time to take our seats for the show.

Miss Pearl is great for pre-theatre dinner with fast service and delicious food. I'm sure we would eat there more if we lived nearby. We recommend their tuna and kingfish dishes, the eggplant and the calamari - that's enough for us for dinner!
