    Pearl sashimi roll
    Lisa R.

    We were pretty lucky to get same day reservations here! Eric R. suggested I pick something on my bookmark list since we had the night to ourselves. I looked on Resy and my bookmarks, and found Pearl so I made reservations for 7:45 PM. We arrived a few minutes early and parked in the free garage (validation requires scanning the QR code at the host stand). I had requested sushi bar, which was full, so the host offered a table but we were willing to wait for the bar. The restaurant is small so tables are fairly close together, and the patio was also very full. The doors were open as servers were going in and out of the restaurant onto the patio, and it was definitely a bit chilly that night. The sushi bar was farther from the door. It was not long before we were seated. Our server was very friendly and introduced us to Chef James who were sat in front of at the sushi bar. I ordered a yuzu lemonade and Eric R. got hot barley green tea. There were numerous specials available so we ordered a mix of food from the main menu and specials. First, Chef James gave us an amuse bouche of fluke in a yuzu sauce with olive oil. We had the crispy rice spicy tuna appetizer. It is with this I noticed that the sushi rice is seasoned uniquely and has a lot of flavor and color to it. I ordered the spicy yuzu sugar snap peas from the specials menu which came out next. I really liked this because unlike edamame, the entire pod can be eaten! The chawanmushi came out next. It is hard for me to find this one menus so I always order it first because it takes time to steam. It was very savory, warm, and delicious. Both Eric R. and I got the blue fin tuna tasting, with one piece each of akami, chutoro, and o-toro. We also ordeed the pearl sashimi roll which was really tasty. Nigiri: Hiramasa (kingfish) Kintokidai (big redeye or red fin sea bream) King salmon Kinmedai (golden eye snapper) Gindara (seared black cod) Japanese uni Eric R. had a negitoro handroll, then we both enjoyed a negihama handroll. Our last savory bite was a gift from Chef James of seared sake toro (salmon belly). Eric R. finished with mango mochi. Overall, we had a very nice meal here with great service. The quality of the fish was great, and the menu had many options. If it was not so chilly in there, Eric R. may not have asked for 100 tea refills, but the staff was very nice about it. Itadakimasu!

    Pearl was good. Funny enough it wasn't the fish that I remember, it was this wagyu beef roll We liked it so much we ordered it twice. This was along side our omakase meal. The sushi was good too don't get me wrong. We were also given their version of "fish & chips" that I thought was tasty. DEFINITELY better than the REAL thing from the UK The layout of the restaurant was very chique and good service.

    WHAT I ORDERED: Creme Brulee Martini, Yuzu Spritz Mocktail, Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice, Oyster Shooters, King Salmon Truffle Ponzu, Salmon Chili Garlic, Japanese Fish & Chips, Otoro Sashimi, Chutoro Sashimi, Variety of Nigiris, Soft Shell Crab Roll PARKING: Street or validated parking in the garage. With the reservation, they sent a text with parking instructions and how to validate. Staff also helped if needed. INSIDE: Cozier/more intimate atmosphere on the inside with covered patio seating available outside. Not only was our server attentive but the entire staff was. They really work together from serving food, and being knowledgable about what they're putting on your table, to keeping water topped off and everything clean. THE FOODS/DRINKS: Everything was amazing! Stand out dishes would be the King Salmon Truffle Ponzu, Chutoro Sashimi, and the Soft Shell Crab Roll. Each dish was fresh and flavorful. There's a lot of variety on the menu that the next time I come, I would have a hard time debating between ordering these same dishes or trying something new. The Creme Brulee Martini is a good spinoff of the espresso martini with its creaminess and was just sweet enough. The Yuzu Spritz Mocktail was a refreshing citrusy drink.

    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.

    The sushi here was pretty good, and I loved the tuna flight. The interior was a bit smaller than expected and had lots of gnats flying around. I'm assuming it's because of the weather, but they were pretty annoying while I was eating. I'll probably order to go next time instead of dining in or go when the weather gets colder.

    Sakura Sour
    Melody V.

    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.

    First off, the service here is above and beyond from the moment you walk in. The staff is so friendly, and the little touches make such a difference -- they brought me a warm towel to clean my hands and even a basket for my purse so it didn't have to go on the floor or hang off my chair. Love that. The cocktails were fresh, balanced, and not overly sweet. I tried the Japanese Margarita and the White Pearl -- both were delicious. The spicy tuna appetizer might honestly be one of the best I've ever had. The sushi rolls were a great portion size and you can really taste the quality and freshness. Everything was just so good.

    Came in for a quick bite during the holidays. The vibe here is super inviting. All the chefs had the festive Christmas hats which was so fun! Our chef was awesome. We went with a half omakase and every bite was so yum! Awesome place. You can't order wrong. Will come back fully hungry next time!

    Mochi chocolate cake and butterscotch crepe cake. Both were outstanding

    The food, drinks, and ambiance were all wonderful! All of the rolls we tried were great, and we happened to go during happy hour so they were 50% off. The happy hour value for rolls and drinks is great, and we will definitely be back! Highly recommend the torched salmon roll and the butterscotch crepe cake.

    Tsukemono - nice appetizer! (May, 2024)

    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!

    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.

    The restaurant is beautiful Me and my Fiance were treated like royalty the minute we sat down . Amazing service! 10/10 Best ive ever had.

It's her birthday month and I wanted to make sure that I picked a great spot for her. i'm very strict about the places that I pick because i really want her to like them. Thank you for not failing me. -Santangelo Balli Gonzales

    This little sushi spot is going to be big. I have a good sense about this place so from what I understand it's from the renowned Nobu chef , which makes sense because the food is absolutely drop dead gorgeous delicious. All be it small portions... I have to say four of my favorites, the spicy, tuna, crispy rice . The smoked yellowtail . Salmon, chili garlic . And the Japanese Miyazaka Wagyu. They were all so incredibly flavorful . The service at the pearl is impeccable . Honestly, we never had to wait for anything. our server. (his name escapes me.) was completely on point. If you go, definitely try their Japanese margarita , GameChanger..

We came in near closing time, but Emilia provided us great service and stayed attentive even though they were clearly packed. We were seated at a table near the door, and unfortunately it had a vomit smell. Whatever it was, my friend could not stand it and had to get up and step away from the table. We first thought the culprit was the paper drink coasters, but then the staff removed the door mat near us later on, so maybe someone puked on it and the smell lingered, even after it was cleaned up. Clear Mizu ($16): This has Sakura vermouth and bitters, so we ordered it. It tasted like straight up gin and was not good. It was actually one of the rare times my husband could not finish his drink. Kyoto Sunset ($15): This one wasn't bad and tasted like honeydew. The ingredients include honeydew Calpico, so that makes sense. Johnny Walker Black ($16): This was our friend's drink, which I think was just coke and Johnny Walker. Nothing special about the taste either. Given the smell and so-so/terrible cocktails, we will not be coming back or taking our friends here.

The service felt distant and rushed. Our server seemed unfamiliar with the menu, gave us conflicting information about drink availability, and rarely checked on us. We specifically asked not to be rushed, yet our entrées arrived while we were only a quarter of the way through our appetizer. At one point, our food was delivered while we were outside getting fresh air. The food was also disappointing. The scallops and chicken were extremely salty and lacked flavor, and the chicken was overcooked. When we brought it up, the server did little to address it. To top it off, we saw two large cockroaches around our table, which was especially noticeable in the dark dining room. The cocktails were the highlight, but overall, the service, food, pacing, and cleanliness did not meet expectations. One star. Very disappointing, and I'm not sure I'll be back.

During my second visit, I tried the Bitter Lemon Soda, which was also very good--simple, refreshing, and without any overpowering flavors. I actually enjoyed The Bowen House so much that I went twice during my weekend trip to Dallas. It has an almost speakeasy-like atmosphere, with low lighting and a cozy, historic feel. It's also in a very walkable area, which made it easy to visit on foot. There is some parking available, although I would say it's somewhat limited. I don't think it would be the best spot for a very large group, but it would be perfect for a few friends getting together. I also appreciated that you can order a drink while waiting for a table or bar seating, which made the wait feel much more enjoyable. Overall, The Bowen House was one of my favorite places I visited while in Dallas. Between the atmosphere, welcoming service, and well-crafted drinks, it's definitely a place I would return to the next time I'm in town.

The hotel property is like four legs under the table - a great location, a great hotel experience, a great restaurant experience, and a entertainment experience (The Mansion Bar). At least one leg has been kicked out, one is suffering. The Mansion Bar used to have a great recipe for success - proven by how busy and regular the customers were and loyal (or was), and the top tier talent that was routine for 10+ years. Me and my friends have a relationship with the long time staff as customers as well as the excellent music talent. The cause? Not precisely sure but I think it's new ownership, at the very least a new Food & Bev manager. I also know the staff is very upset about these changes and the relationships with the repeat music talent is now a mess. I wouldn't be surprise if the staff start leaving. I'm hoping whomever is making these decisions can revert back to what was working. Dallas has a lot of great venues that will fill this void.

After a long wait for our food (the restaurant didn't look that busy, but maybe a lot of to-go orders?) I received the pictured steak: I'm pretty sure I can still hear it mooing. How anyone could look at this and think this is medium-well is beyond me. I tried taking a bite, but it was so raw it was inedible to eat - I would've been chewing for ages. I brought this up to my waiter, who said he would take it back and speak to the kitchen. My group needed to leave for another event (didn't anticipate waiting nearly an hour for our food) so we simultaneously asked for our checks. The kicker? My waiter did not follow up with me on how raw the steak was and did not comp my meal/provide any kind of remedy. I wasn't looking for a free meal, but the lack of follow-through to remedy the situation was the icing on the cake (or insert some kind of raw steak pun). My cocktail (which all arrived AFTER our meals were delivered) was pretty good, thus the 2 stars. But I question why/how my steak was so raw despite me waiting 45-55 minutes for it. Overall, only come here for drinks - so long as you're okay with waiting forever & a day for them.
