Delicious food! Got a little carried away and ordered multiple items from the menu. The good: The spicy basil chicken, pearl’s spicy curry, and stir fried garlic were my favorites. The sweet rice custard was really good (that got gobbled up quickly). The fried spring rolls were good. I will order these dishes again, and I recommend them. The so-so: The sauce on the Thai braised chicken was good (their version of General Tso), but I wasn’t really feeling the way the chicken was prepared, it was a little tougher than expected. The chili wings sauce also had good flavor, but the chicken wings were kinda dry and hard (disappointing). The Thai butterflies had great taste, but were over fried and harder than expected. I would give all these dishes a second (or even third) try, because they had great taste, they all just seemed a little over fried. Over all, the ratings is based on the taste of the food and the great service I received while there ordering my food. I will return.
Best Thai Restaurant at Missouri! My favorite is the chef specials fried rice with chicken. I modified mine with smaller cut of red and green peppers same with onions. They even went above and beyond by made fish cake and Thai sausage that I requested! I literally ate there every day hopefully this will help y’all! Fried tofu and ribs also my other favorite here.
Don't get me wrong the food here is amazing. But one downside is the pricing and upcharges for just about anything. Everything I've gotten from here has been great and the daily lunch specials are a good value. Just know that there are lots of upcharges and it won't be an inexpensive outing.
A trip to Pearl is never short of a great experience. The food is always delicious and fresh, and the staff is always exceptional. Truly the best Thai restaurant in St. Louis!
One of the most decadent, delicious, tasty Thai restaurants you'll ever visit!!! With an insanely expensive beer selection, a glass whiskey case, and amazing service, you won't leave hungry or thirsty. I've been visiting for years and have yet to find a dish I don't like. I'm CRAZY about the red and green curry.
I come here all the time with my gf, we have never had a dish we didn't like from here. It's all very delicious! And the appetizers aren't too expensive. We usually leave spending 50 including tip, and we get 2 entrees and an appetizer. Service is quick and good. The staff doesn't ever forget about you. I love the music they play, it's very relaxing. It's also very gluten free friendly!
The service at Pearl Cafe cannot be beaten. The food is amazing, authentic, fast, and served by an amazing staff. Their drink selection is unparalleled. Their bourbon selection lays wast to bourbon bars, their beers are more varied than any beer snob could dream of. Whether trying to impress friends/dates, or desiring to have an amazing family dinner, Pearl Cafe is your goto in north county.
