Huge, generous portion. It can feed for two people. The food court does gets busy especially during the busy lunch hour rush.

The pastrami sandwich was delicious and the vegetables were fresh and bread toasted yet soft on the inside. They gave us cups for water, they don't have inside seating but share outside seating area which is set up for a lot of the restaurants there.

They're located inside the Donquijote Food Court and have ample seating inside as well as outside. I went with the Wagyu burger, fries, and tossed salad, and all three were very tasty. The burger was juicy and flavorful, the fries were salty and crispy on the outside, and the tossed salad was light and the dressing paired perfectly with it. One thing to keep in mind: they make everything fresh to order, so the wait can be a little longer than your typical quick-service spot. I actually think the freshness is worth the extra time, but it's something to be aware of if you're in a hurry. Also tried the Apple Mint Mojito, which was delicious--light, refreshing, and a great complement to the burger. One tip: If you prefer your burger more well-done, definitely let them know when you order. The burger can come out on the rarer/juicier side, so communicate your preferred doneness upfront. Overall, a tasty meal with quality ingredients and a nice made-to-order feel. 5/5 stars and I'd definitely come back.

The Naks in Pearl City…read more.. Just right beside the Don Quijote food court is a cute place called Naks Cafe as this cozy spot offers quite the extensive menu from pasta, sandwiches and various plates though it all sounds amazing the prices were quite up there as well knowing that times are tough I couldn't see myself having French toast bites for $16.85 but badly need to refuel after a long day of errands. Seeing that they had soup of the day sounded very comforting and it was Japanese Corn Soup sounded perfect it was that along with a cup of Apple Mint Mojito sounded like the perfect combo strange as it may sound but I did enjoy it. The staff was very friendly as they brought out my items to me as I waited outside at the food court not just as it's a tiny place but no air-condition at all as it was very hot and humid in there was quite concerning and hope they have a fan or something to keep them cool which the drink certainly did that for me and I really enjoyed this refreshing sip. As for the soup it was very nice and hot and had a nice light flavor it just tasted like the instant soup I get from the store it wasn't like the corn was fresh especially since it claims to be house-made I was slightly disappointed but did come with two little pieces of garlic bread which did elevate it more still couldn't save my disappointment considering it was $9.85 over $17 with my drink, it gave me the much needed comfort as I just wanted some hot soup which I was so happy to find in the convenience right beside Don Quijote food court. Thank you!

I was at the village market that happens every Saturday night at Pearlridge. After walking around,…read morewe decided that one of the vendors we will try from would be Pelmeshki, which serves up pierogis, which is a type of dumplings. We order an order of half beef and half cheese & potatos. The vendor recommended us get panfried (between the two options of boiled or panfried). We got to choose two sauce which we went with garlic and shoyu chili. We had to wait SO long, I think it was around 15-20+ minutes. Overall, the pierogis were just okay, my friend didn't like the potato & cheese one and the beef one was just mediocre for us. The wrapper were thick and the sauces weren't very flavorful which just made it all taste bland. The shoyu chili was NOT spicy at ALL, like not even a hint. I personally don't think I would want/try this again.

Dumpling lover…read more.. Honestly I am and when I first discovered Pelmeshki which usually has been in the back end of the Village Night Market at Pearlridge Center I had already bought something to eat and with the amount they sell in one order there's no way that I can do it all by myself lol! These are Russian dumplings which looks like tortelloni or even some won tons that are round but are super cute and is filled with beef and pork you can have it pan fried or steamed and though I usually like pan fried I chose for steamed as it felt it would be more light and soft textured. A paired with a choice of sauce it was spicy shoyu for me. Placed my order but be prepared to wait as it's made to order though it did give me time to look around and see if anything else would capture my attention but before my eyes speak for my belly I headed back and was excited to see it was ready. Let me tell you these pillowy beauties was delicious though the dough is a bit on the chewy side as it was thicker similar to like a mandoo but it was delicious and with 20 for an order it's totally shareable and the sauce was on the thicker side and wasn't really spicy but is nice and flavorful to give a bit of kick to the Pelmeshki. The vibe at the night market is very festive and vibrant with lots of seating under the tent and a few cocktail tables for a quick bite making this a great place have some food, fun and freeing enjoyment. Thank you!
