New Dragons Pearl

Dragons Pearl is one of the late-night Chinese takeaways on the north edge of the city centre, trading from a small unit on Constitution Street where the Hilltown begins to climb up out of the centre toward Coldside and Stobswell. The shop is a Cantonese carry-out built for the city's late trade — its own listings show kitchen hours running well past midnight, which puts it in a small group of Dundee Chinese carry-outs that serve the post-pub crowd as well as the early-evening household orders.

The menu is long: drinks, starters, soups, beef, chicken, pork, duck, lamb and king-prawn mains, sweet and sour, foo yung, chow mein and fried rice sections, satay and Thai variants, vegetable dishes, curry sauces and set meals for one, two or more. The shop trades both collection and a delivery feed across the central residential streets, and reviews emphasise the broadness of the menu and the late hours rather than any one signature dish. The "New" prefix points to the current operating family taking the unit on from earlier owners — Constitution Street has had a Chinese takeaway in this slot for many years and the present kitchen carries the established trade forward.
