Pearl

Pearl Sushi is a cool modern sushi restaurant in Uptown Dallas that is helmed by chef Shine Tamaoki. His creative dishes result in a fantastic dining experience that places it next to the many fine restaurants in Dallas.My Overall Rating - 5 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food, Return)Atmosphere - Pearl is in the heart of Uptown Dallas. The backlight sign is cool and mysterious, and the restaurant is small but inviting. But Pearl's most amazing attribute is hung on the ceiling. As you walk inside, take a glance above. You'll see hundreds of origami swans. They are all connected to form a larger swan which is a microcosm of my experience (the sum experience is greater than its parts). 1 Star.Service - Our staff was excellent. They were well versed on the menu, the location each fish was flown in from, and made sure our plates were cleaned between each meal. They were attentive and made sure we had a great experience. 1 Star.Food - We started with the Spicy Edamame. The spicy (and slightly sweet) edamame was a great, sticky start to our meal. My favorite dish was the Yellowtail Serrano. The Yellowtail sits a light sauce, and the serrano pepper adds a little heat to balance the acidic sauce and neutral Hamachi. Also high on my list was the Snow Crab Roll. This roll had snow crab, avocado, cucumber, and was stacked like a pyramid. And here's where Pearl stands out, each dish is like small works of art. They were beautiful. You can tell the sushi chefs put lots of effort into your meal. Everything is delicious. 2 Stars.Will I Return? - Yes. Pearl Sushi has an expansive menu, and you can always ask of omakase. There are many great sushi restaurants in Dallas. Let's add Pearl Sushi to this list. I can't wait to come back. 1 Star.

We went for the happy hour and really liked the drink and sushi selection! I got the Sakura sour which I thought was the best drink, I also tried the lychee martini which was good but very standard. My favourite rolls were torched salmon, snow crab and scallop . The presentation for each of the rolls were on point! The restaurant has a great design and atmosphere. The location is in a pretty busy area, but parking is not hard to find. I'll definitely be back for another happy hour.

A solid sushi spot that hits all the right notes. This place offers an impressive, expansive menu filled with fresh nigiri, sashimi, and maki rolls. I love that the focus here is clearly on the sushi, but they also have a few hot dishes if you're in the mood for something warm. The cocktail menu is just as thoughtful as the food. We tried the White Pearl, a refreshing lychee cocktail that's a fun twist on the classic lychee martini--light, slightly sweet, and super easy to sip. As for the ambiance, you've got options! Their covered patio is bright and airy, making it a great spot for a sunny lunch or casual evening. If you're looking for a cozier vibe, the dimly lit interior sets the perfect moody tone for a more intimate dining experience.I ordered the Torched Salmon Roll, and it was excellent--perfectly seared with a melt-in-your-mouth texture and rich, smoky flavor. Whether you're a sushi purist or looking to try creative rolls and cocktails, this spot delivers on both quality and atmosphere.

Delicious sushi food! The ambience was very classy, but also very comfortable. The staff were very responsive, and make sure to refill water as quickly along with cleaning up the tables. All the sushi was really tasty, but my favorite was the torched Salmon roll. There is parking right beside it. A trick is that you pay for parking on the QR code, but they have a validation code at the restaurant so that it gives you back the funds. Tyler was the staff, and he was very patient and friendly and helpful regarding this.

RUN, don't walk to Pearl! LOVED LOVED everything here. From the food to the drinks to the ambience, everything was just fab. Starting with three food, we got the chef's special of the day, Brussels sprouts and Kanpachi crudo, both exquisite! The spicy edamame had a great kick, the torched salmon nigiri and the salmon roll was chef's kiss, the yellowtail sashimi was fresh! My friend got the avocado roll and said it was great too. The oysters had the best dressing I've had yet, ANYWHERE! I ordered the Lychee martini for my drink and it was the best I've ever had, light, crisp, refreshing and not too sweet, just perfect! Honestly I don't think you can go wrong with anything you order here. I liked the black sesame cheesecake dessert over the matcha one. All said and done, this is one of the best sushi I have had in Dallas. The ambience is intimate and upscale chic, and our server was great! Will definitely be back!

Sleek casual. Server on training. Lovely cuts of sashimi. Dainty bites of refined sushi. Most impressive this Saturday night were Pearl's fluffy and crisp "Japanese Fish & Chips" and decadent "Black Sesame Cheesecake"!CHEERS!

Food was awesome! I will list my suggestions. The only downside was we arrived for our reservation time and our table wasn't ready which isn't a terrible thing necessarily but the restaurant isn't designed to wait at the bar. The bartenders were nice but it is a small place and we felt like we were really in the way.The Spicy Edamame, the Shishito Peppers, the spicy tuna on Crispy rice were amazing. Each were a cut above anywhere else I have had the same dishes. There was also one of the sushi rolls that was awesome and in looked back at the menu, I actually don't know what it is called but the waiter said it is by far their most popular so you can just ask. I think it was the Torched Salmon Roll.

Sushi was delicious. Not much food for the price but all was very good. Rolls weren't very big so we ended up ordering a couple more. Crispy rice was tasty, but I've had better at other places. Oysters were fresh and had good flavor. Drinks were also very good as well. Service was amazing! We never had to ask for anything the server came and checked on us often. Ambiance is great. Dimly lit and romantic.

The service is some of the best I have experienced recently. The host staff thought of everything from baskets for purses to clothing appropriate color napkins. The food and drinks were delicious as well. The restaurant is small but has a lovely convertible patio for extra space. The bar area is also lovely but compact. I do think the food/drinks are a tad overpriced, especially with a competitor around the corner. But, I will be going again!
