Sand Pebbles Restaurant

I wish I had read the reviews before deciding to have lunch at Sand Pebbles today. We arrived late for lunch (after 2:00) and the place was empty. We were in the mood for some warm noodles since it was so cold outside so we ordered the ramen with chicken and chicken pad thai.Very disappointing. The ramen arrived with very, very few noodles. It's a ramen dish and you couldn't see the noodles above the broth. The price was high too - $19. The pad thai wasn't much better and also expensive - $16. The final insult was the surprise 3% charge for using a credit card. I would advise waiting until you see some positive reviews before trying this place. Very underwhelming.

Upon my most recent visit to the area I found myself looking for some new places to eat at. Well this place was right around the corner and even better they delivery with door dash. Upon my first evening I gave the Thai Basil Chicken fried rice a shot. Game winner. It was so good I thought let's have another go, so I ordered the Chicken Pho. This place is 2 for 2 now. Even with delivery the food was hot, good, and they nailed it both times. I have not dined in with them, however next time I'm in the area I may. Or I may just be a couch potato and have them deliver. Nevertheless this place impressed and left me full (with food leftover), happy, and not to big of a ding to my wallet. Give Sand Pebbles a shot if you are looking for Asian cuisine, chances are you will enjoy it too!

I've had the chicken pho from Sand Pebble several times before this and it was delicious.I'm unsure if they changed the recipe since the last time I ordered, but what I ate today was nearly inedible and tasted more like minced garlic soup than chicken pho broth.The broth was by far the most disappointing part of the meal with the chicken chunks coming in a close second. The chicken was what you'd expect to see out of a can. It had a weird texture and taste, unlike the chunky chicken they've used in the past.The fixings were also lacking. There were very few bean sprouts, the basil was already included in the broth container, so you couldn't control how much to use.Overall, it was terribly disappointing and confusing considering I've had good pho from Sand Pebble in the past.Sadly, I'm afraid to order again to see if it was a one-off mistake.

Friday night date at Sand Pebbles in Pinecrest was a delight for everyone! The interior of the restaurant has great Feng shui. Big bright windows are the entire front face. So that shines in and makes for a really nice light. There is a front patio as well! The art and colors are all really great to look at. They have the greatest hits from many Asian cuisines and everything was executed very well! We were seated immediately - it was somewhat busy for a Friday night. Our group ordered the miso soup & vegetable soup - veg broth was delectable. Amazing. Would have a bowl for lunch. Entrees were all well received. The plating and garnishes were spectacular. Everything comes out as the kitchen completes it, not all at once. I'm fine with this because it's maximum freshness! I liked the tomatoes with the fried rice! Someone in our group tried pad thai for the first time here and she absolutely loved it! Thank you for having us! I could tell everyone worked together well.

This place has gone downhill. My family went here about a year ago and had a good experience. The menu, staff and apparently the management have all changed, along with the food quality and prices. I ordered General Tso's chicken and what they gave me was chicken nuggets with a dipping sauce. None of the ingredients from the popular dish were included and it wasn't prepared the right way. Even worse, the prices have skyrocketed. $25 for pad thai! This cuisine is not supposed to cost this much. To top it off they charged us an unadvertised 3% surcharge for using a credit card. I've never seen that at a reputable restaurant before. we told the manager we weren't coming back and he didn't care. Save your time, money and appetite for some of the better Asian cuisine options around town.

Very good Asian (Vietnam, Thai, Korean) flavors. We tried number of different dishes (Seaweed Salad, Singapore Noodles, Tom Yum soup, miso soup, Korean Salmon Rice Bowl) and all of it were very good. When we were there, restaurant was packed so the service was a bit slow and servers were a bit overwhelmed.But still a great service and good food, great addition to Pinecrest scene

This should be the dealbreaker, no matter how good it is, they charge you a fee on your credit card. That should be the only litmus test

Amazing Food we ordered Pad Thai so good great service nice and clean restaurant Wow we will be back.....

We love how fresh the food is here always! Everything tastes natural! They can modify the spice level, however sometimes when you ask for mild, they might interpret as completely not spicy.The crew is always friendly and smiling. It's always a nice treat to come to sand pebbles restaurant!

I have stopped into this little gem of a restaurant twice now and both times, the food was excellent! It's a smaller venue and parking is not super convenient (the lot behind the movie theater is the closest access point) but it's in a great location if you are visiting the Pinecrest shopping area, the movie theatre, or in my case, the Candle Studio next door. Both times I came were on weeknights around 7pm. Neither time was it very busy and the servers were incredibly polite and attentive. The menu boasts tons of yummy choices from many Easten Asian cuisines like Thai, Korea and China. I chose the Singapore Noodles both times but my friends enjoyed the salads, the Massaman Curry, the Pad Thai, and the soup. Presentation was beautiful for all dishes and the staff were happy to make substitutions and special requests. My vegetarian friend who is currently trying a vegan diet was delighted with the number of options she had to choose from. My stepmother was celebrating her birthday - they asked us, we didn't tell them - and they brought her a beautiful Thai coconut cake and sang for her. I already have plans to go back in two weeks. If you are looking for a new Thai spot, this is the place! Beautiful ambiance, clean, and fairly priced.
