Liang's Cafe & Restaurant in Dublin

I am a tourist from Canada, and my friend who lives in London took me to Pearl Liang. It’s a decent place for a business lunch or a family gathering for dinner. The food overall was great, except for the signature crispy aromatic duck—it was a bit too dry, almost like eating tree bark and the dessert was just okay as well. That said, the service was excellent, very attentive and professional 👍. Overall, still a pleasant dining experience.

Very well priced considering the area.Waiting staff very polite unlike Chinatown.Our favourite dish was the braised pork with sauce.We will be coming back and with more friends.

Vivian, one of the waitresses was a joy. The food was great, ambience, comfortable and cozy. I'll definitely go there again.

Really delicious dim sum, modern interiors, baby friendly.

As a Cantonese, I'm very happy with the taste of the food here. However the portion size is very small comparing to most other restaurants. And the service is very slow unfortunately.

Fang was great! Food was delicious- Thank you

Food was tasty, so much variety & well price. friendly service and very accommodating. We’ll definitely be visiting again.

Excellent service, lovely find away from China town. Authentic Chinese cuisine offering lots of chef specials for Chinese New Year. Staff were very attentive and offered a high standard of service. The food was very impressive, not oily, presented well, lobster noddles were offered to be portioned, the sea bass was a unique dish and would highly recommended. Looking forward to returning.

Exceptional Dim Sum Experience at Pearl Liang I recently dined at Pearl Liang in Paddington, and it was an absolute delight from start to finish. Tucked away in the vibrant Sheldon Square area, this restaurant offers a perfect blend of authentic The dim sum selection is simply outstanding. The har gau (prawn dumplings) were plump and juicy, with that perfect translucent wrapper that melts in your mouth. The siu mai were packed with fresh pork and shrimp, topped with a touch of crab roe for extra indulgence. We also tried the char siu bao—fluffy buns filled with tender, smoky barbecue pork that had just the right balance of sweet and savory. For mains, the chilli king prawns were a highlight: succulent prawns in a spicy, aromatic sauce that packed a flavorful punch without overwhelming the palate. The sweet and sour chicken was elevated beyond the usual takeaway version—crispy, tangy, and made with high-quality ingredients. Service was impeccable; our waiter was attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and offered great recommendations without being pushy. Portions were generous, and everything arrived promptly and piping hot. It’s also worth noting that the restaurant caters well to dietary needs—we had a vegetarian in our group, and the options were plentiful and delicious. Overall, Pearl Liang is a gem in Paddington Central. Whether you’re grabbing lunch near the office or enjoying a special evening out, it’s worth every penny. I’ll definitely be back soon—highly recommended! 5 stars all the way.

We've been going to Pearl Liang since it opened in late noughties. Consistently great food and the service provided by the staff is very friendly.
