    Sichuan Shredded Pork
    Thomas L.

    Twice the cost - half the flavor. I really wanted to enjoy the food... really. I don't like giving bad reviews - as I know people are working hard... but I think people should know what they can expect when they shell out their own hard earned money. Unfortunately, I must say that this was the most expensive yet bland Chinese meal that I have had in quite some time... maybe ever. Seriously, $40-50 per entree?!?! We had spring rolls to start - they were okay at $8 for two. We then ordered the Sichuan shredded pork (medium) and the red chili shrimp. They were okay, but not for the price they charge. And... we basically were finished with the pork dish by the time the shrimp dish came out. I then ordered the salt & pepper tofu hoping for a decent dish - but I think this was the worst dish of the three. No salt, minimum pepper, and beer battered tofu. Ugh! The only redeeming part of my meal were the cocktails from Ryan, the bartender. Granted - my wife and I had 3 drinks each - but the final total was $300 (not including tip). Live and learn...

    Chicken dumplings

    We were in Vermont for 4 days and this was hands down the best meal we ate while in town. I wish it was our first night so we could be chowing on leftovers all 4 days! The restaurant ambiance is exactly what you'd want for a classic Asian place. Slightly old, yet styled in the perfect decor. Many maroons and tans, deep wood tables, all with lazy Susan's for the best family style dining. The service was fabulous. Our waitress was knowledgeable about each dish and recommended many options to us, all were delicious. We definitely got way way more food than we needed, but it allowed us to try so many dishes! Everything was fabulous. I'd be dining here weekly if we lived in town. Cocktails were tasty and fun to order based on the authentic nature of each one. Glass noodles, two chicken dishes, Asian cucumber, dumplings, gyoza, a beef dish (cooked to perfection and our favorite dish).

    Chefs tasting menu

    Quite good food, very expensive. Lots of good flavors and everything is well cooked. Enjoyed the chefs tasting menu, but likely would order separately next time. Very friendly servers and great service. Will be back I'm sure.

    I get the Buddha's beef and it is one of my favorite dishes. I always visit this restaurant when back in Burlington. Service is always good, though I find it most helpful when staff ask how someone wants something prepared vs. Assuming we want the average /less amount of spice than would be typically prepared with. There is something on the menu for everyone here. Food is served as it is ready vs all at once. This food is much nicer than fast food Chinese but I do not know enough to know if it does traditional Chinese food justice. Relaxing setting.

    9 course vegetarian tasting menu for 2

    Recommended by a friend and our first visit. We ordered the tasting menu and a pot of sake. Very delicious but brought home a lot of food. It was a great way to learn the menu but now I know my favorites and would stick with those for a better value. I probably wouldn't have tried sesame beef made with seitan but so glad it was part of the tasting because it was crazy good and now I'll definitely get it again. Their sauces really take the dishes to the next level even on simple dishes like spring rolls and dumplings, the sauce took it over the top. Service was amazing. Many servers kept bringing food, clearing the table, filling water and asking about the food. Ambiance was upscale. I've read some mediocre reviews on yelp and I'll say it depends on what you order. I didn't try any of the meat dishes so I can't comment on that... but we'll definitely be back.

    General Tso's with cauliflower
    Michigan H.

    Yelp seems torn about whether A Single Pebble is the greatest restaurant in Burlington or actually quite terrible. I am here to tell you that they are both wrong: it is a heaping pile of mediocrity . To be clear, nothing we got was terrible. It was all different kinds of average. The general tso's cauliflower was too breaded and the sauce was like every other general tso you've had. But it was fine and I ate it. The chicken fried rice was really bland and we mostly left it alone. The chicken dumplings were the saddest thing we ate: mushy, bland and small. The lo mein was the most flavorful thing we had. Like some of you, I read the gushing reviews here and elsewhere and found myself asking if these people have ever eaten Chinese food before. Hell, the couple next to us was doing backflips over their food, ooh'ing and ahh'ing with every forgettable bite. I didn't ask them, but I'm fairly certain they would give Panda Express a Michelin star. If you've had great Chinese food before, don't go here. If you are blown away by a poor man's PF Chang's, you've come to the right place.

    Ate here about a month ago and somehow forgot to write a review about the most incredible experience I've had in a restaurant and for over two years. I believe our servers name was Josh, who lend us on a journey through food and drink. He was lively in every way! We popped in after a last minute road trip from Saratoga, and we able to snatch a two - top bar seat without a reservation. We were greeted warmly, which was nice despite no reservation and being in hiking boots. My partner and I did the vegetarian tasting menu (I'm vegan, he's not) and wow wow wow was it worth every penny. I won't bore you with every detail, but the food here is exceptional. Made with love and care, every dumpling has a story and each sauce is crafted to compliment them. I was blown away by the service, attention to detail, and valiant flavors of Asia. This will be an experience I never forget - I promise that.

    Was ok. Nothing special. Ordered the chefs creation for the table. Was rather bland. Overpriced at $40 per person.

    Very flavorful but way to expensive. For two people it was $165 with tip! I didn't think it was worth that and I won't be returning

    What is the attire like?

    A Single Pebble is casual and comfortable. Burlington is a college town so you’ll find business casual and super casual all mixed into one. Slightly dressier during the evening but remember everything is served family style so you don’t want to wear… Read more

    Didn't include sweet and sour sauce in lg chicken order. Then I called and the boy said the manager…read morewould call. That never happened. So I called today and explained all the issues including the lack of communication and problem with the order. The bag was not stapled which it usually is when I pick up an order. I asked the boy and he just stared at me. The bag was sitting on a crate in the corner open and When I got home the order was cold, it was cold outside too and even though I closed it best I could order was still cold. The manager today said she would redo the chicken for me and I said with the other issues will you comp this 1 other item for me, not very expensive and usually my order has a lot more than what I was even asking for. I went to business school and this is not how you treat years long customers who would continue to give return revenue. Very silly.

    I'm obsessed. Cheap but not too cheap that it is suspicious. And sooo so yummy. Get the pan fried…read moredumplings!!!!! The girls who work out front are really nice, too. One is really shy and the other is probably not shy enough in some people's opinions. Both really great, though. And always remember who I am and don't give my food to random people if I want to run somewhere else downtown while they make my order. Great stuff.
