Review of Pearl Harbour
29 Apr 08, 18:33
It's upstairs... 
...not that that has any relevance really.
This is a nice Chinese restaurant in the centre of the city that's been around a while. I last went there a couple of Christmas Eves ago and had a thoroughly nice time. Even though our table ordered a set menu my veggie needs were well looked after. I seem to remember it being pretty good value too.
My only gripe with the place is the minging fish tank they have which is WAY too small for the fish and is absolutely filthy. Not nice at all.

Review of Riverside

Chinese Disco! 
Granted I haven't been to the Riverside for a while but the last time I went it was disco night! It was all quite surreal really...we had a lovely meal...the works...then they fired up the sound system and before I knew it people were flinging themselves about to Shania Twain. Weird.
Apparently this happens on a Saturday. Don't get me wrong we had a proper laugh and before I forget the food is really, really good. The staff are super-efficient too...oh and up for a giggle. They'd have to be with all that going on around them!

Review of The Floating Pagoda

Floaty Boaty
The fact this Chinese restaurant is on a boat moored up at the Marina is of course the big novelty factor. It just feels a bit more exciting to eat your tea on the water for some reason, doesn't it?!
I've only been there the once for a mate's birthday and was impressed by the food and the service. They looked after us well. It is a little on the expensive side though to be honest...in fact I'm not sure I've been to a more expensive Chinese restaurant before. Oh and when you get back on dry land and you do feel a bit weird for a while...! Good fun though...if you've just been paid.

Review of Gars
18 Apr 08, 21:58
Above average Chinese
I've only eaten at Gars once but was very impressed. You'll pay a little more than you would in any other Chinese restaurant but it really is worth it. It's got a nice contemporary feel to it and the food is really very good. The menu is impressive without being overwhelmingly large. The dishes are beautifully presented and the perfect size to fill you up nicely without feeling like you've eaten your body weight in noodles.
The only downside to my visit was the close proximity of other diners. There was about 6 inches between our table and the couple next to us. It could have been quite uncomfortable but the couple were so weird it was actually quite entertaining. She was clearly 20 years his senior and was telling him in rather rubbish code what she was going to do to him when they got home. Hilarious!
I can't guarantee they'll be there when you visit but Gars is definitely worth a trip.

Review of The Emperor Chinese Restaurant
16 Apr 08, 07:47
Mighty fine Chinese food.
This is a pretty large Chinese restaurant but once you're all settled in one of their cosy booths it feels nice and intimate. I've eaten their several times with friends who live in Burgess Hill. They're real regulars and we're treated like royalty from the moment we walk in the door. The staff can't do enough for you without being overbearing...the service is impeccable.
As for the food...it really is some of the best Chinese food I've ever tasted...and there's plenty of it. There's loads of choice even for veggies and they will cook dishes to your liking even if they're not on the menu.
I really look forward to eating there as I know I'll leave a very happy, satiated girl. It's so good my mate's even having her wedding reception there...now that should be recommendation enough for you!
