    Soup Dumplings - Small Shanghai Dumpling under apps.
    Rachel M.

    This has been a go to sit in Restaurant for us in Clearwater. They moved to a new location after there other Clearwater location closed. We visited this location for the first time and enjoyed how spacious and open it was. The A/C is to die for especially with these scorching July days. As always great service here. We ordered salt and pepper calamari, beef chow fun, and braised grouper fish and tofu. All were very tasty. For a reminder for myself, I need to remember ask for no onions - they put a lot. We have had many other dishes here including their soup dumplings, crab Rangoon, congee, and chicken corn soup. All very good. Lots of variety here. Rice is also included as it should be. Other sit in restaurants now don't include it and have it extra so mentioning this.

    Brought friends to The Asian Pearl it was on The Money. Delicious as always. Best Chinese in Tampa Bay Area!

    Been coming here since their previous location, and while the food used to be a little better back then, it's still one of my go-to Chinese spots in the Clearwater/Largo area. The new location is definitely smaller and can get very busy, especially with all the to-go orders coming through, so service and wait times can vary. Still, the food is solid, portions are good, and it's a reliable choice when I'm craving Chinese food.

    Spring rolls
    Sam P.

    This was kind of a mixed bag. The spring rolls are delicious, crunchy and the filling is soft and flavorful. The beef chow fun, the meat tastes great and the bean sprouts are crunchy, but the noodles are bland and need something, there's no umami but the beef has it.. The Singapore noodles just taste of low heat rather than curry. It's my first time eating here so maybe I ordered on an off night.

    Salt and pepper eggplant!

    After a very long hiatus, a move to a new location, a long and challenging build out, and much much effort, Asian Pearl is open again for business! Tonight is opening night! The sign out front is on! The parking lot is dark! Tina is back taking orders! Be patient as they ramp back up! Life is good and food is delicious with Asian Pearl!

    Beef chow fun 6/10

    Must get the fresh stirfry eggplant in the spicy sauce. It's absolutely incredible. I haven't been to this place in a while since they had closed to relocate to this newer location however, now I remember why I never got the beef ciao fun because the seafood ciao fun or xo sauce is much much better so I will keep that in mind the next time when I arrive. The general Tsos is always very delicious. The portions here are very large each plate could feed four or five people alone. That's why I like to get the sauce on the side so then I could reheat it in a toaster oven later and dip it in the sauce as if I was still in the restaurant it will still be that good. The best Chinese restaurant in the area, located in Clearwater.

    Chinese veggies
    Britt L.

    Yay they're back at their new location!! Still the same great flavors & taste. Ordered our favorites. Food always served fresh and piping out. Service is always friendly and despite it being a very busy night, waiters were all accommodating. One of the best authentic Chinese restaurants in the area. Came on a busy night with multiple tables eagerly waiting. One downside is that this is a smaller place with fewer tables, but hoping they can expand again one day which they'd certainly benefit from! Looking forward to our next meal here!

    I'm sad. I paid for extra gg and didn't receive any. Still sad. Need my vitamin D .

    I was happy to see that Asian Pearl back open. However, the food did not taste the same, especially the Mongolian beef. That's one of the things that I order every single time they added a lot of vegetables and meat was different.. Service was still great. And the overall ambiance was nice as well. But I really do miss the other location where we had the spinning table tops to share food. It just really gave that authentic Chinese restaurant. The locations parking lot is a little bit difficult in reference to parking and the overall appearance. There was also several other items that we ordered that was just okay. Nothing but at this moment would really make me want to come back but since they've been open about a month or two I will give them some more time to see if they're going to bring their standard up. Based on taste Mongolian beef give this 2 stars. When they served Mongolian beef before there was no vegetables with the beef. Bbq pork give this 2 stars a lot of the pieces were dry. And this is an item that we sent back and showed the waitress House fried rice was the best item that we ordered that day which I will give this 5 stars .

From the moment I saw the seafood case, everything looked ridiculously fresh, and that freshness carried straight onto the plate. The Tides is both a seafood market and restaurant, so you're surrounded by beautiful seafood and ingredients that actually look like they belong there. Then I noticed the MICHELIN plaque outside the building and thought, wait a minute... THIS place has Michelin recognition? Apparently, yes! The Tides has earned a place in the MICHELIN Guide, which suddenly made a whole lot of sense after tasting the food. That salmon was seriously some of the best I've ever had. Fresh, beautifully prepared and so clean tasting that it didn't need a bunch of heavy sauces or nonsense piled on top. It felt like one of those rare meals that is indulgent because it's delicious, but you also walk away thinking, I actually ate something good for me. The Tides was a genuine surprise, and now I'm wondering how many other little gems I've been driving right past without knowing they were there.

We made the mistake of trying to go on a Saturday evening. Shoot for off hours instead, as the wait was pretty long. We ordered a lot of what the Michelin blurb recommended: the dip trio (out of white fish), the crawfish arancini, the fried grouper po boy, and snapper. In the dip trio, we absolutely loved the fried green tomatoes and the pimento cheese (I don't like tajjn but it worked extremely well here). Neither of us was in love with the smoked fish, but if you're a big smoked fish person you might like it. We also loved the arancini and the romesco sauce they came with. The entrees we were honestly disappointed in. The grouper in the po boy tasted dry, and the snapper was nothing to write home about. It must be difficult for a restaurant to live up to the greatly heightened expectations of a Michelin designation. The location and staff were great. We didn't leave delighted but I would definitely come back to try more items.

On the rare occasion that…read moreseafood was on the menu, it was typically a frozen variety like Groton's, or the occasional fish fry at the Elk's Club. That's changed since moving to the Gulf Coast of Florida, where the fish at the local restaurant today was probably swimming yesterday. My "go-to" seafood now is a grouper sandwich which I order blackened but NOT fried. I've sampled grouper sandwiches from many local dining establishments, but my favorite is from "Carvor's Fish House" A couple of important notes: 1) Carvor's is only open for LUNCH. Their hours vary, so you'll want to check the website, but they typically close at FIVE PM, with the last order accepted at FOUR PM. 2) Carvor's has NO inside dining The patio is tree-shaded with extra umbrellas but if it's really hot, you may be uncomfortable. 3) Carvor's has COUNTER SERVICE. You go inside, order your food and THEN go back outside and select a table. When your food is ready, a server will bring it to your table. 4) This is downtown Dunedin, and parking can occasionally be a challenge on Douglas Street, but FREE parking is available in the city parking garage across the street. Pictured is my "blackened grouper" sandwich. A refreshing change from the usual French fries is their homemade chilled tomato, cucumber and onion salad. Delish!

Service was great and super attentive. We started with the hush puppies, which were good. Definitely not the best, but they were still good. They came with a side of ranch. Out came the seafood boil, we ordered two one of their standard boils and then I did a customer boil with crab legs and sausage. We both added boiled eggs to ours and went with the mild spice level and Mr. And Mrs. Crab seasoning. They bring out a bib, gloves and a discard bucket when you order the boils. Overall, I thought it was pretty good. Again, not the best I've had but it satisfied our craving. My girlfriend thought it was delicious and was making sure to soak everything up in the sauce, haha. One thing I noticed was the crab was lacking on some of the legs, not as meaty. Not sure what caused that. Also, there was a bit of a funky after taste with the boil that I haven't encounter before. I don't know if it was the seasoning or the sauce. Just my personal opinion and others might think differently. Also, wasn't really a fan of the potatoes or the egg. Just tasted off to me. Overall, we had a good experience. Might return in the future to give it another shot.

Hardly shareable. My seared tuna was very good and a decent size portion but seriously? You can't serve shelled edamame? Fishing the bean pods out of the sauce to clumsily try to squirt the bean out should not be happening with a dish that is $34. We ordered a bottle of wine which we all enjoyed. My last complaint is that the restaurant was extremely warm. We all were on the verge of breaking out in a sweat. For those prices, invest in some sort of better air conditioning. The service was fine. The meal was $300 with tip, and considering everything, we feel it's not worth going back.
