Our verdict

Busy, colourful, cool and lively, this is a destination that has stood the test of time on the Ponsonby scene, overseen by the talented restaurateur Mark Wallbank. The tastes from chef Che Barrington’s repertoire are all about herbs, broths and bases in this modern Chinese menu, not to mention his magical‘do-not-miss dumplings and pork bao buns. Sundays are special with Peking duck and pork ribs with a $10 margarita.

Pearl is the En Primeur Club membership app — saves, bookings, and concierge access live there. Same editors, same standards.
