Pearl Thai Eatery - Pasadena

The food is fantastic and the location is excellent. It's easy to walk to, and there are usually one or two parking spots available nearby. Food rating: 5/5.

$18 for green curry and it was insanely spicy I could barely eat it. I’m Latina I love spicy food but this was something else. The curry was not $18 worth. Nothing special about it. I didn’t love it. The place is super clean and the customer service is good though ! surprisingly . Also I love how they sell some organic things like organic drinks teas !

The pineapple shrimp curry is excellent; I just wish they’d serve a bit more rice to go with it. It's packed with flavor and has a pleasant mild spiciness. The Pad Thai was decent as well, but I preferred the curry. The Pad Thai could use a touch more seasoning. The restaurant itself is a bit cozy, but there are plenty of tables inside. The service was very attentive. I parked right in front, where there are metered spots.

Very nice little Thai spot. Nice esthetic…clean and simple. Tasty food. Service is a little relaxed, but very friendly. Parking can be a little tricky. There is a pay lot across the street and another one just south of the restaurant. There is also a small commercial loading zone just east of the restaurant. Garlic chicken and green beans was tasty, and was our favorite dish. The salad was refreshing as well. Chicken satay was average. Noodle dish was a little below average. Mango sticky rice was pretty solid.

The food was good, but surprisingly expensive for what it was. Inflation has sadly affected many restaurants. I ordered a shrimp summer roll, and they put only half a shrimp for garnish, but zero shrimp inside the actual roll. I was pretty bummed. If ingredients are too expensive, it’s better to leave it off the menu entirely…. Again, very good food, but not budget friendly.
