Pearl Thai Eatery - Pasadena

Amazing food and great location. Easy to walk to and typically has one or two parking spots open close by.Food: 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 really good, I just wish they gave me more rice to eat it with. It’s very rich in flavor and it’s got a mild spicy kick to it.The Pad Thai wasn’t bad either, but I liked the curry more. The Pad Thai could use just a little bit more flavor.The restaurant is a little small but there are a bunch of tables inside. Service was really good. I parked in front of the restaurant, which was metered.

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.
