Pearl Sushi — Restaurant in Richmond Hill

Came here yesterday (Wednesday) evening at 6:30 p.m. to meet up with a friend for dinner. It was very quiet inside & we were the only customers until approximately 8:30 p.m. when another group came in as we were wrapping up. This made it a great place for catching up.

Pearl Sushi not only offers Japanese food such as sashimi, sushi, rolls but it also has Korean options such as kimchi fried rice, kalbi (available in a dinner or bento box set), bulgogi, soon dubu, etc.

I opted for their roll set 2 (14 pieces) at $24 - 8 pcs. spider roll, 6 pcs. California roll and tempura. The rolls were fresh and just the right size for one bite. The tempura was a full order that you would usually get when you order it a la carte with 2 pieces of shrimp, broccoli, pumpkin, sweet potato and green beans. The batter was light, not too oily and the sweet soya sauce was nice.

My friend had the kalbi bento box at $33. The only thing that she did not like about it was the most important part of the box which was the kalbi. It was mostly fat :( so she did not enjoy that at all.

Our meals also come with miso soup and green tea dessert. The miso soup was overly salty (and I like salty!) and the green tea dessert was nothing special. It would of been nice to include a small salad to accompany the miso soup as most Japanese restaurants do when they give you soup, salad and dessert.

The service was fine. There was only one lady serving all the tables which was sufficient since it was only us there for pretty much the entire time. She was kind enough but did not say much as I don't think she speaks English fluently.

The prices were decent though the bento box was a bit steep since the kalbi was not great. There are many other places to go to at this price that has better food. I likely will not be back but did want to give it a try since they have really...

I came here yesterday for Valentine’s Day with my girlfriend. We ordered a lot of food but we finished everything. We then left the restaurant and started to head home. Once we were long gone, my girlfriend started to feel upset. So I asked her why. I found out that your staff (one of the waitresses and the kitchen staff) were making rude remarks about the amount we were eating. You see, we’re both Korean. I was born here so I don’t understand a lot but she is fluent in Korean. She told me that your staff were speaking to each other in Korean and saying comments in a rude tone like:

“Wow they eat so damn much” “ are they starving?” “Go check to see if they finish” while they were hiding in the back laughing.

For my seating arrangement, I had my back facing the kitchen, so I wasn’t able to see the staff, but I was told that a few of them would occasionally look out to stare at us. My girlfriend didn’t want to tell me when I was near the restaurant because she wanted to just let it go. But sorry, I’ve thought about it all night and I just can’t seem to do the same.

My question is: Was it really necessary to constantly make those comments? Do you not like the fact that we spent a good amount of money at your establishment?

You see, I really wish I had knew when I was there because then I would’ve been able to speak to your staff directly instead of writing this review.

In the future, please keep in mind that some of your customers may also speak the same language as you. I hope that your staff will learn to keep these rude comments to themselves. But since it’s apparent that they lack character and have no manners. Next time, if you’re going to talk poorly about a customer for eating too much, I’d suggest that you...
