Went for the £25 eat as much as you like. They force us to have these huge platters full of cheap deep fried foods. They give attitude when you try order something else off of the menu if theres any amount of food left even though they stack it high with the cheap stuff on purpose.Literally gave us a mound of fried soy bites that no one even asked for. Most of the food is poor quality and the owner is rude.Definitely avoid.

It was ok, food was expensive for the portion size and it lacked it fresh bold

Visited for the first time in 3 years for our daughters birthday. The food was very poor, a mixture of what seemed like reheated dishes that were tasteless. The atmosphere was not good, with two what I can only describe as drunk people, who could be heard everywhere in the restaurant due to their loud conversation and profanities. The staff looked like they had just got out of bed, wearing whatever was close to them when they got up this morning. The children of the owners were playing online games in the restaurant and the staff rest area seemed to be in the restaurant also. The cost of the meal was extortionate for the standard of food, service and atmosphere. If you are a Carpenters fan you may enjoy the music, because that's the only music playing. I would not recommend anyone to visit this restaurant only to avoid it, a shame really, because the food used to be exceptional.

Currently sat with a bucket next to me and can't stay off the toilet. Plain and simple, got food poisoning.

Disgusting meal and a waste of money!!..Chips was cold and had been re-heated god knows how many times ? the other two meals was so disgusting everything has gone in the bin ? Was really looking forward to a take away but partner had to cook our food witch we will do always from now on ?

The food was okay, but wasn’t anything exceptional. The service however was the worst I’ve experienced in a long time.The staff were rude, told us off for trying to order two mains each (at an all you can eat).At £24 a person there are far better options.

A take away order.Bland and tasteless. The food was cold and soggy. Lots of better Chinese takeaways in the area. Did not enjoy at all and won't order again.

Went with high expectations the service was poor but improved eventually. The food was fair I have had better though everything was very sweet and too salty.We had the All you can eat menu but noticed the staff trying to pre-empt orders by suggesting other items which we didn't wantWheelchair accessibility: Not possible due to steps on entry and a narrow corridor

I've been to Mutiara before, but some time ago .. I ordered a sweet and sour chicken and egg fried rice and was very disappointed .. basically all I got was very small pieces of batter and rice .. the sauce was nice, as was the rice but to pay almost £10 for batter and rice doesn't add up to me!I did tell the waitress that I was not impressed and she said she'd tell the chef but I heard no more.Vegetarian options: The tofu and black bean sauce tasted nice when I tried my daughters.
We have been coming to this restaurant since 2014. The food is always excellent, the service is always brilliant whether we are coming for date night or a big family meal. I always enjoy coming here, I would recommend the salt and chilli squid our family favourite! Many happy memories here and more memories to be made! A brilliant local restaurant that has never let us down and has always been fantastic.

Visited last night 6th September for the first time for birthday family get together.Not sure about the negative reviews as we all enjoyed the food which was the all you can eat menu which is competitively priced as are the drinks.Service was very good and attentive.We were the only ones in but it was a Tuesday early evening so possibly the norm, anyway this did not detract from an enjoyable evening.Thank you.Kid-friendliness: 10 year Billy made very welcome.

The food was amazing. The only problem was the communication barrier. I understand if you want an authentic experience its always better to go where the actual people from that country work at that type of restaurant but come on the majority of your customers are English so you would think your front of house waiters would be able to speak more than 2 words. But still didn't ruin the experience was quite funny.

Didn’t deliver. Apparently knocked and waited I didn’t hear nothing and then left without even leaving the food outside or anything. Wasted £30 cos they couldn’t leave it outside.
