    Vibe
    Eric B.

    Interesting vibe. Good music. One TV showed some anime and the others were news, dports and whatever. Loved the anime countertops. Menu is quite varied showing some fusion of japanese, chinese, tha, and Vietnamese. Generally speaking that means nothing stands out, but I had the wings and they were good. Service was excellent. It was right after opening so I'm sure this place gets lively later with students. Nice happy hour options. I've been spoiled traveling abroad to all these countries, but this seems to be as good as any other in Richmond. If you want a clean well-lit place to serve a bunch of varied apoetites, with great service (best part), then this is it--lots of good draft choices and even sake choices.

    I decided to write a review after 2 visits: the first one was take-out the second was dine-in. Both times it was pretty packed. It's not a huge place, but definitely a favorite. On the take-out visit, I ordered the Japanese Style Ramen with chasu pork and a soft boiled egg. It was delicious. I had a cold and it was exactly what I needed. On the dine-visit, they sat us at a table at the store-front. What a cute, cozy table. Of course everyone passing by saw us, but who cares. I was slurping my noodles. The waitress was phenomenal. We wanted something with curry, she recommended the Malaysian Style Ramen because it is not spicy and for my friend she suggested the Indonesian Style Ramen. In both, we added the chasu pork and egg. It was even better than the Japanese Style Ramen. It was bursting with flavors. When I say nothing was left, it is true. Overall, the employees, vibe and food there is great! Great little place to eat amazing food. There is so much more to try. Definitely coming back for more. Parking is easy and they have outdoor seating around the corner.

    Basil mojito

    Main St Dragon is a pretty chill spot--definitely worth checking out if you're in the area. I ended up trying the Chinese-style noodles and a basil mojito. The noodles were decent not the most mind-blowing dish I've had flavor wise, but the portion size was solid, and they the food came out surprisingly fast, which I appreciated. The basil mojito, on the other hand, was a bit watered down. It was happy hour at the time so not a dealbreaker for me, but it definitely lacked the punch I was hoping for after work. One thing I'd recommend to the team is updating the menus. I noticed a few seasonal items still listed from previous holidays (and it's well past that now) That said, there's still a lot on the menu Im looking to try, so I'm definitely planning on giving it another go. Looking forward to seeing how it holds up next time.

    I got the drunken noodle ($12) with chasu pork(+$4) off their special menu. Food came out very quick, around 10 minutes. The noodles however were very bland noodles, the sauce was very watery with no flavor. The chasu Pork was very dry and lacked flavor and felt very skimped out on. The staff and service were ok. This had to be a very off night due to the very small crowd of three other patrons in the restaurant, but by far the worst experience I've had here. I have no idea how the overall food quality just went to completely down hill since the last time I was here. Will definitely be sticking to straight ramen dishes if I come back. Food(50%): 3.5 Staff/service(25%): 6.0 Value(25%): 4.0 Overall: 4.2/10

    While visiting family for winter break we stopped by here for a late dinner on a cold night. Everything was amazing and fresh! The service was great and fast for a part of six people.

    I came here on a rainy evening and was able to get a spot at the bar. It was busy but not 100% full on a Thursday evening (after regular dinner hours). The bartender was really friendly. I got the Malaysian style ramen and edamame. The ramen was delish + very filling. I was hungry so I ate the whole thing. Edamame was nothing special - I'd probably skip next time. It looked liked they had daily happy hour deals, as well. I liked the comics under the glass at the bar. I don't live in Richmond but it's a place I will come back to when I visit again!

    The food looked great, so me and my partner went to try. The food looked great, but personally I didn't like it for the amount it came out to. The squid was cold went it came out, and it tasted okay. The boom boom shrimp was good but nothing extraordinary. The malaysian ramen was good! It was like a yellow curry ramen, which I enjoyed, but the Chashu pork that I ordered with the ramen felt more like a pork shoulder that they tenderized :/ The indonesian ramen(?) was good, but I wouldn't order it again. Overall, it was an okay experience for me personally

    I wanted to try Bun Bun for the first time so I stopped in to grab take out and ate there instead. I love that you can see the chefs cooking, the bar was fully stocked and ready to serve. Best bartender ever and the cocktails pair perfectly with the food. Beautiful spacious restaurant, lovely staff and the food was affordable.

    Great happy hour from 4-7! We order two large hot sakes, vegetable gyoza, pork gyoza and the boom boom shrimp for about $30. The gyoza were really delicious, perfectly pan seared and flavorful. The space is small but plenty of seating and I loved the outdoor patio space. The menu had a lot of ramens I'm interested in trying when it's no longer 90 degrees outside.

    Thai basil tofu, so greasy I couldn't eat it.
    Tracy W.

    I've been wanting to try Main Street Dragon and was pretty let down by the food. Maybe I ordered the wrong thing, I've never had a bad Thai basil dish elsewhere but this was soaking in a very greasy sauce and made my stomach hurt. It also didn't have the heat I'm used to for Thai basil. The cream cheese crab Rangoon's tasted way too sweet and I couldn't taste even a hint of crab in them. Hopefully it was just a bad day or I ordered the wrong items.

    Malaysian Style ramen, forgot to mention I added mussels & I've had it with shrimp as well.
    Tiffani B.

    Good food, good service, and good ambiance. I've been to this place twice now & I can say that it is now one of my favorite ramen places. I get the Malaysian style ramen, the lemongrass & ginger taste is so refreshing. I think it lists a pepper beside it listed on the menu but I actually asked for a recommendation for a bit more spice & the manager suggested chili crunch oil & it was perfect! They have karaoke at this location, super fun. The cocktails are also good, I suggest the drink with the apple & jack Daniels (can't remember the name).

    Marci F.

    I love the new owners. I also like that they reduced the prices. The food is quite tasty and exactly what you need on the night to warm you up. They have yummy bar list with interesting beers and cocktails. They were very nice happy hour that is I think every night.

The decor and the ambiance are invigorating & soul soothing concurrently. On both occasions I ate in the upstairs dining area & I really enjoyed being able to look out their windows & observe the hustle & bustles of Broad Street while dining. The music that played in the background while we dined was the perfect aural companion to a down home Southern cuisine centered meal. As you know, I love when the music in the restaurant compliments the cuisine & Lillie Pearl's playlist is top notch. During our dining time, we ordered their Smoked Wings as our appetizer. The wings were perfectly seasoned & visually appealing. However, I found them to be a bit dry & overcooked for my taste. My dining companion, however, had no problem with the wings texture. She enjoyed them very much. For my main meal, I ordered their Wild Game Burger[a mixture of Waygu Beef, Bison & Wild Boar] with a side order of Fries. The burger was cooked perfectly. It was well seasoned & juicy. The fries were delicious. They were crispy and also perfectly seasoned. I could have eaten a whole plate of just the fries alone. I ordered a cocktail to complement my meal, the Sweetest Thing. It was bright, crisp & a perfect drink for my food. As for Customer Service, Our server was courteous & attentive & knowledgeable about any menu changes we needed to be aware of. Also of note for me was that I had a reservation I needed to change to an earlier time slot & the staff was able to accommodate my request expediently. I also appreciated the fact that they informed me in advance that they were still on the Lunch menu & not dinner as my initial reservations had requested. I find that type of honesty & transparency refreshing & is definitely one of the reasons I will ALWAYS be a loyal Lillie Pearl customer.

Like too many restaurants in the Scott's Addition area, this is seafood cooked without finesse and then absolutely brutalized with absurd amounts of palate fatiguing, brash, loud flavors. Every item on the menu endeavors to conceal mediocrity in the quality and handling of the ingredients with explosive, overwhelming additives meant to shock you into submission. Things like black garlic and chili oil, raw garlic, sesame seed oil, and punishing heat are inescapable on the menu, which really says to me loud and clear "we do not understand the appeal of seafood, and might have a fundamental misunderstanding about good food in general." I don't exaggerate when I say these dishes would be improved (setting aside things like inability to properly cook octopus) by scaling back the flavors to 5-10% the loudness level they are currently at, to let the ingredients speak, and to make the dining experience less of a punishing marathon with no relief. I have had much subtler and more skillfully balanced dishes at Indian and Thai restaurants, cuisines known for strong flavor profiles. I'm through listening to these Richmond restaurants trying to excuse simply bad food by claiming "that's the nature of the cuisine." In this case, Lillian claims that dishes characterized by these cacophonous competing flavors is "South American." No it isn't - the person conceptualizing the dishes is just a bad chef who doesn't know what he's doing, and at the prices Lillian charges, that's inexcusable. Drowning every dish in flavors that overwhelm the palate is not a way to respect your ingredients or your diner, and only communicates youth and insecurity. Anyone who's eaten widely and knows their ingredients will rightly feel assaulted and insulted by this overpriced, unskilled fare. To anyone who decides to go anyway: Good luck with the digestive distress, and with the taste that will still be left over in your mouth the next morning, no matter how much you brush your teeth.
