The soup was extremely extremely good because of the udon and tofu. The tofu reminds me of elastic balls. The udon soup broth was extremely hot it was really good as well! The people there are also extremely friendly! However I don't like how they got rid of the candles and how dim the lights are. The inside of the restaurant is also really dark I almost tripped and f#cking died!!! When I was done with my food, I ordered mochi. I recommend the strawberry, mango, and vanilla mochi. Some of the employees are not super smart and not experienced. Most of them are experienced though!

Absolutely amazing experience!!! I walked in and immediately loved the ambiance of the restaurant. The hosts were so friendly and let us know the sushi bar seating was first come first serve. We found seats shortly after. Ryo, Jacobo, Eric & Lhyllel & every staff member was so attentive. My water cup was NEVER empty! The food was all so great. Every fish dish was so fresh. The Kanpachi was my favorite. The blue crab hand roll was also very good! 10/10 recommend. Can't wait to go back!!

The service here is absolutely incredible; kalbi ribs never disappoint & the ambiance is wonderful as well. Prices are reasonable with a great happy hour deal in the early evenings!

Came in over the holidays, they had cute decorations for Christmas. I had the crispy rice and a couple sushi items, but my favorite was the habanero ponzu! I guess the dish usually comes with yellowtail but my server recommended subbing for halibut, it was amazing! I also really enjoyed the "pearl special drink"! Take my advice and order the above!

Go to sushi spot in the palisades. Pretty good quality fish and some good rolls. Solid menu and chill atmosphere with a bar and game on. Def prefer this place over other places nearby.

Pearl Dragon has the most fresh fish I have had in a LONG time. The sushi is phenomenal, the drinks were great, and the entire staff was welcoming and kind. I ordered the Makinoto roll and some miso soup to pair with the sake and it was SO good! My roommate ordered the potstickers and said they're some of the best he has had in a long time. Long story short, thank you so much Megan and Brook for taking such good care of us! We will be back :)

Love Pearl Dragon, Ryo and Eric! The best! Ryo is a true master of what he does! Sitting at the sushi bar is a great experience always!
Pearl Dragon is my home away from home. My hands down, absolute favorite restaurant ever. From the bar to the dinning, you will never be disappointed. The head chef Ryo, who has been there for 20+ years, is a black belt with his handcrafted rolls and knowledge of sushi. Bianca, Megan, Terry, Asti, Eric (to name just a few) and their whole team are dedicated on providing the best service and experience that will make you feel like royalty yet you're at home as well. They have also hosted so many fun events from birthdays, anniversaries, to even live music! If you haven't been, please go now!! Pearl Dragon must live on forever!!!

Such a staple in Pacific Palisades and the sushi is a 10. I love the sushi bar in the back..I would say this is one of my favorites. Staff is always ready to help

Great "front of house" service. But the "back of house" has some vindictive employees who likely have a gang mentality, or gang ties. They'll mess with your food as quietly as possible, when they know you're not their kinda people.
