The Pearl of Hong Kong

Pearl of Hong Kong is one of the longer-trading Chinese takeaways on the Arbroath Road, the busy artery that runs east out of central Stobswell towards Baxter Park and Broughty Ferry. The shop has built a strong family-run reputation over many years and is consistently picked out in local listings as one of the better mid-tier Cantonese options in east Dundee. The kitchen runs a long and properly built Chinese menu — chop sueys, chow meins, the full sweet-and-sour and curry-sauce ranges, beef in black bean, chicken with cashew nuts, duck specials, foo yung, a strong rice-and-noodle dish section, plus a vegetarian column rather than a tacked-on box. The shop trades evenings only and closes on Tuesdays, with late opening through to one in the morning on Fridays and Saturdays which pulls in the late-pub trade from the Forfar Road and Stobswell. Catchment runs across Stobswell, Baxter Park, the lower Broughty Ferry Road and the housing along Arbroath Road itself. Online ordering runs alongside Uber Eats and phone collection.
