From the street, you step down into the deep red, modern luxury of the Red Pearl Kitchen. The atmosphere is sultry, all deep jewel tones and shiny black. The Asian-inspired menu traverses the East, combining dim sum, skewers, hot pots,… Read Full Editorial

They have a good list of rice meals by Henry L via Insider Pages on 12/1/2015

They have a good list of rice meals and their fried noodles are pretty amazing. I love it in here, the place looks so nice and comfy in so many ways.

VIP by Susy F via Insider Pages on 3/26/2010

The ambiance is great and the food is ok. It's a bit pricey but the service and place is awesome. For larger parties, they have a special room at no additional cost... definitely makes you feel like you're VIP!

Fun Atmosphere! by Melanie M via Insider Pages on 2/14/2010

I frequent the Red Pearl and I love the ambiance, appetizers, drinks, etc..What more could you ask for! Its just a really understated place with a very cool vibe. I have always enjoyed dining here, and often take out of town guests here.…

Asian fusion restaurant by Kim T via Insider Pages on 1/30/2010

Good asian fusion restaurant! Food is pretty decent, though nothing spectatular. The service definately has room for improvement as well.

Best Asian downtown- no comparison by faizal via Citysearch on 10/20/2008

The ambiance was really nice, the staff friendly. My drinks was always topped immediately. I had Panang Char Kuey Teow and Satay. Char Kuey Teow was really good but the satay was out of this world. I'm telling everyone about this place.

Great Drinks, Good service, Delicious Food by juluvsace via Citysearch on 3/5/2008

Heard about this place on the radio from Erin @City Search. Hubby and I walked in on a Friday night without reservations. Were told the wait would be about 20 minutes - no problem we'll have a drink. No sooner did we browse the drink…

Great Food, Beware of Wait by jomarkumar423 via Citysearch on 2/11/2008

On the recommendation of 2 people, my wife and I decided to meet up with some friends at the Red Pearl on Saturday night. Figuring it'd be pretty busy, we made reservations for 8:45pm. We decided to get there a bit early, and wait in the…

First timer, not impressed with the service! by lanilan79 via Citysearch on 12/12/2007

So I waited in the bar area for 2 other friends, I sipped on a pretty good lychee martini and watched a cool movie. My friends roll in and I had to wait for about 10 min. for a 7pm reservation I made. no biggy I thought I finish my martini…

Great Service at anytime!! by socialdee via Citysearch on 11/17/2007

So we go at 10:30pm and you would think we get the bogus lazy end of the night service but it was the absolute opposite. We had one of the best servers Joanna and she was informtive attentive and plesant. The food was amazing -- Get the…

Best or one of the top 5 Fusion Asian places in San Diego by jttravels via Citysearch on 7/25/2007

We have been there many times and have always enjoyed the innovative food. Sometimes the service does slow down when the place is full. The fusion of different Asian tastes, spices and presentations has almost always satisfied. …

Great ideas of fusion, nice lounge-y bar by bellahead via Citysearch on 3/6/2007

Hip, warm, scene and vibe accompanies very tasty asian-fusion dishes. The appetizers (dim-sum) are great for sharing and very delicious, the main courses are like an elegant step-up from PF Changs. Sides of veggies were even more…

Okay food, waited a long time even with reservations by llm79 via Citysearch on 11/20/2006

I had a big group, maybe 15, but we had reservations and we still waited for over a half an hour for our table. The food was just okay, I was not that impressed. We had to ask for extra rice constantly, because they kept bringing out…

great atmosphere, locale, above average food by jmorrow12 via Citysearch on 11/10/2006

i went to Red Pearl Kitchen on a Thursday night and was happy to find a hip asian fusion restaruant in the gaslamp quarter, something not easy to come by. the restaurant was packed and we had to sit at the bar. the menu was creative with a…

Great Place for Happy Hour by jojobadabing via Citysearch on 11/4/2006

I had the pleasure of dining here last week while in SD and just loved it. We ordered a series of appetizers and each one was more delicious than the last. The dumplings delicious, beef satay, spicy & sweet, grilled asparagus, grand! …

The new PF Changs by mrsmith619 via Citysearch on 10/26/2006

I love PF Chang but if you want something a little more authentic and with a spicier kick then go to Red Pearl Kitchen. Good food and a great bar/lounge if you want to meet there for drinks after work or before you go out to the clubs.

Scene is good, food is even better by sandiegokris via Citysearch on 9/13/2006

When the waitperson tells you it is "family style", they mean it!! Portions are HUGE. Dined with two others, we ordered three entrees to share and had tons left over. I would suggest an appetizer or two and only a few entrees, depending…

Upscale downtown Asian eatery buzzes with well-heeled 92101ers at the bar and foodies sharing plates from the eclectic, spicy menu. by Erin Chambers via Citysearch on 8/3/2006

The Scene
Wander down the curved pathway from the door to the bar and dining room to enter one of downtown's most buzzing scenes. Red walls, black furnishings, lanterns and basket weave ottomans give this downtown hot spot an…
