I don't think it's on their take-out menu, but somehow I was able to locate it. Imagine lean, tender short ribs simmered in a clear broth, served with clear noodles. No need to spruce it up, as it is already flavored perfectly. I would say, it's the closest thing to homemade, without being homemade. The only downside is if you order on Door Dash, they don't tell you that the restaurant closes from 4pm to 4:30pm. But having had to wait outside in the cold, only made the soup that much better.

I ordered the Ocean Wave form the menu it came with Onion Soup, Salad Filet Mignon and Scallops, a choice of Fried rice or steam rice, shrimp and grilled vegetables and ended with a scoop of ice cream. My steak was cooled as I liked it a perfect medium rare and my scallops were seasoned well and I wanted more. Everyone in our party went home happy and satisfied. I forgot to take pictures of the main Entree because I was ready to just dig in. I will try to remember the next time I come back. The place is nice and the overall experience was great. I been to other places like this and I can say this was one of my favorites.

The bartender was very attentive and courteous throughout our visit. We ordered the garlic noodles with shrimp, Bob's fried rice, potstickers, clam chowder in a bread bowl, and the chicken teriyaki wings. The garlic noodles with shrimp were really flavorful, and the fried rice was good as well. The potstickers were perfectly crispy and came with a ginger dipping sauce that was amazing. The clam chowder in the bread bowl was also very good and comforting. They only had two wing flavors available--plain or teriyaki. We usually like spicier wings and prefer them extra saucy, but the teriyaki wings were really good. They were nice and crunchy, crispy, and had just the right amount of sauce, not too much, but still flavorful, even for someone who loves saucy wings. The sunset view was beautiful. The place is small and probably fits about 20 people, but it wasn't packed when we went. I enjoyed my Hennessy, and honestly, everything on the menu was good and tasteful. Definitely looking forward to coming back again.

There's plenty of parking and it can get busy. You order first then you take a seat, there's self serve water here. We ordered the chicken karaage which came out really quickly and had big pieces of chicken, perfect seasoning, wasn't too much and it had like a sriracha sweet mayo dipping sauce. My mom wanted the seafood ramen and my dad wanted the wonton ramen. I know they don't eat too much so I figured to share with them and just ask for an extra bowl. My parents don't like spice so I asked for them to not have any spice in it. Their wonton ramen was a tonkatsu base and it was pretty good. They had huge mandu style wontons that I enjoyed with the bakchoy and hard boiled egg. The seafood ramen is the most expensive and it comes with shrimp, fish balls, bamboo, corn, sprouts, boiled egg and green onions. The shrimp were huge pieces and I enjoyed the ramen noodles. The flavoring tasted like regular ramen to me. Overall it was a busy flow for a Saturday night both with people ordering take out and those dining in. They also have sodas and Hawaiian bbq plates to order plus tons of other sides you can get ala cart. Service was quick! It's not too bright inside, the walls are covered but you can partially see outside.

We enjoyed all 4 dishes,but the standouts to me were the soup dumplings,which were very yummy,though do take some technique to eat without causing some spillage.I also quite enjoyed the garlic green beans,perfect texture and super garlicky which I love. Overall this was a solid place with very quick service and tasty food,what more can you ask for?!!

Small place that can get pretty crowded. It's cool that you can browse the menu and order from a touchscreen at the table. We will definitely be back.

2.5 out of 5 stars I…read moredidn't come here for "nice" service--I came to enjoy a solid, flavorful dinner. Unfortunately, the experience left me disappointed and unsure if I'd return. We walked in to find the restaurant nearly empty--just my friend and I in a space that could seat around 40. That's usually not a red flag for me but it made the underwhelming meal stand out even more. We ordered the #7 Hamachi Kama (grilled yellowtail collar), which came with rice and salad. The fish didn't taste fresh and had an odd texture--not what I've come to expect from this dish. The rice had a strange aftertaste, and the salad dressing was more like watered-down mayonnaise than anything appetizing. Next came the shrimp and veggie tempura platter. I get that tempura is a simple dish--hot oil, light batter, a good fry--but even that missed the mark. The batter lacked flavor and the portion was surprisingly sparse for the price point. I really wanted to like this place. The staff were polite and attentive, which I appreciate. But unfortunately, good service can't make up for a dinner that just didn't deliver. #gaveitagoodtrythough

You can navigate the Japanese menu. You will fall in love with this place Someday I will go ahead and be brave. Of course I love their sushi as well. It's just a comfortable eating experience. It's a place I can pop in without a moment notice and have a wonderful meal. I love the atmosphere and the friendly chefs and waitresses.

*** Vegetarian Review ***…read more None of their dishes have fish sauce so you don't get knocked over the head with the smell when you walk in. They remind me every time I order, but as a vegetarian, we've all had that fish smell delivered to us at a Thai restaurant at least once (probably twice, more likely three times) in our eating lifetimes. It is such a relief to not have to worry about that here. Would I Come Back? Yes, when I'm in town, I make it a point to come here. Did I mention they don't use fish sauce!? Parking is is incredibly easy so that's never an issue. It's a shared parking lot with many stores and other restaurants. I typically go on a Sunday for lunch, and even with a party of 5, I haven't had to wait for a table. Seating capacity is probably 45-50 guests so if you're planning a large party, definitely best to call ahead and make a reservation. The Food: Roti & Yellow Curry ($14, Grade A+): Fried roti with a yellow curry dipping sauce. It's a super savory dish, and honestly, I should have had you at "fried." If you're wondering what roti is, think of it as a buttery, flaky, pan-fried flatbread. It's large enough appetizer to share with 3 people, but you're pushing your luck with 4. Pad Thai with Fried Tofu ($16, Grade A): I've had this dish 5 times now. To be completely transparent, it's the exact reason why I can't give Pearl Thai a full 5-star rating, purely because of consistency. The first time I got it, it was perfect. The second and third times, it had no sauce and was dry. The fourth time, I asked them to make it saucy, and they obliged to an almost soupy level. For this fifth time, I just ordered it straight up and zipped my lip on any alterations. As they say, the fifth time was a charm! When it's made with the perfect amount of sauce, this dish is excellent. The noodles have that exact texture you look for in a pad thai, and the egg gets that great scorch from the wok for an added layer of flavor. Also, the tofu has been incredibly fresh every single time. It never tastes slightly spoiled, which happens a lot in smaller towns that don't heavily support plant-based diets where tofu just sits in a fridge eagerly awaiting someone to order it. Mixed Vegetables ($14, Grade A): Sautéed wood ear mushrooms and mixed vegetables in a garlic soy sauce. If you've ever had Pad Pak, you already know this flavor profile. I really enjoyed it, but next time I'll ask for no carrots and maybe half the garlic. Overall, it's a perfect dish that absolutely requires steamed rice to soak up all that great flavor. Sweet Sticky Rice with Mango ($8, Grade A): The classic dessert we see at all Thai restaurants, but they serve it with purple sticky rice, making it a visually yummy dish. It's plenty of food to share between two people. Bottom Line: The service here is great and very friendly. It's a small, local shop with "Best in Town" awards highlighted on the walls. The environment is clean, and the food is served hot and arrives at the table quick. One Last Word: Don't leave here without ordering the roti with yellow curry for an appetizer. Pure savory goodness!
