Sand Pebbles | Pacific Asian & Sushi — Restaurant in Aurora

Been waiting not so patiently for this new restaurant in town to open and tonight I got to dig into several dishes. Let's dig in. Started off with the Thai Hot Wings. The menu describes them with words like spicy and hot. Unfortunately neither of these is true. On the plus side these are nice size wings, they do have bbq'd taste but the the sauce on the side is a bland sweet sauce that really adds nothing to the dish but disappointment. Add a real dip to these wings Chef and you'll have a winner. Massaman Curry up next With shrimp. Loads of shrimp! Excellent balance of flavors. Perfectly cooked. Only issue, just 2 small chunks of potatoes in one serving. Not a big deal especially when I just said the balance was there. But visually, knowing potatoes are part of the recipe. Well. It was a wonderful, beautiful dish. Beef Ka Pao The menu had this beside the title(Thai Style Hot Basil)** . I couldn't find the legend anywhere to indicate what I would be in store for with this order but I took a clue from the above mention Thai Hot Wings and ordered. Unfortunately with the same results. Not spicy. Not hot but thankfully good nonetheless. Really, if I enjoyed this dish as much as I did and I certainly did, there no telling how much more wonderful it will be when hot and spices really do hit my tongue. We had a few other item on the menu but as I didn't sample those so I won't comment. All in all I was more than happy with the foods I sampled. I think once the Chef gets over his fear of his use of spices or his fear of serving spiced food to the general public, his tasty delights will be even more delightful. Every new business experiences a few hiccups when first opening its doors. Yes, the takeout button isn't working and the menu is a mess but these things will get worked out. I have no doubts that Sand Pebbles will be a huge hit in our community and I for one am most grateful they choose Aurora in which to make their way. I'll be back quite often and am looking forward to making my way through their extensive sushi menu next!...

Okay all the negative reviews on here are allllll CAP. Lying ass haters prolly too broke to eat expensive food.

This place was nothing short of delightful. The food was amazing. Best pad Thai I’ve ever had and I am extremely picky about pad Thai. In fact the only other place I’ve never had issues with the pad Thai in Cleveland is high Thai’d on Coventry. This place has even them beat. The crab Rangoon come out looking like spring rolls and has a delightfully sweet sauce drizzled over top. The crab is REAL. I can’t say that I have ever been to an Asian restaurant and was served real crab in the Rangoon. The chicken lo mein was also superb. Everything about this place was fantastic. The server we had was so sweet and helpful. Could hardly speak English, but showed that she genuinely cared about our experience and that to me tops anything else. And when I accidentally broke my glass of water, they immediately had 3 different workers come to our table, quickly and safely clean up the glass, wipe down the table, and mop the floor. And they were so pleasant and pleased to be of help.

If you come to this restaurant expecting some run of the mill, hole in the wall Asian restaurant, then take your broke ass home. This place is fine dining. Hands down best Asian cuisine in all of Ohio. I will die...

This is a very lovely restaurant. I’d never heard of it before and I was excited to try it out. I met a friend there. I ordered the General Tao’s chicken and asked to substitute the rice they had for fried rice. The server said it was a 2.00 up charge to an already overpriced charge. When I got my bill it was actually 3.00 up charge. The server was very dry and impersonal. When the food came the presentation was beautiful. I was excited to taste it. To my dismay I found it difficult to find any chicken. It was mostly hard pieces of fried something but it wasn’t chicken. I don’t know if it was chicken skin or what but it was not meat. I was hard pressed to fin cut pieces of chicken. I mentioned to the server and he said that was how it comes. He did not care at all about my concerns. He was very dry. He never addressed me at all, only my friend that I was with did he give attention. My water glass was almost empty and I had to ask for water. He put her to go container in a nice little shopping bag. I asked if I could have a bag. He threw a blue plastic bag on the table for me. I’m not sure why I got the treatment I did. It was their break time so we were asked to leave so he could lock up. That was okay. But again he did not make eye contact with me,...
