   Amazing food! Everything was excellent. Loved all the staff, you can tell they enjoy where they work. Don’t be fooled by the strip center location.

   I’ve been here several times and a few times I had the General Tsao fried rice with oysters. This time it was a completely different meal.Flavors were different and it didn’t seem to look the same. Disappointed in that but, the raw oysters that I ordered separately were wonderful

   Went to Little Pearl with a friend and had a great experience. The fried oysters appetizer was delicious, and I had the special that day which was a soft shell crab sandwich. The waitress was attentive but unobtrusive.

   We wanted a unique and delicious dining experience and Little Pearl delivered on both counts. We typically go to the standard seafood restaurant and have the usual entrees, but we wanted something different on this first trip to Ashville. After reviewing several restaurants online, we chose Little Pearl based on the menu choices and prices. The food was exceptional as was the service. Highly recommend!

   We tried Little Pearl because it was very close to our hotel. The food is inventive and delicious. The wok fried little neck clams with chilies, miso and fennel were fantastic. The local mushrooms roasted another winner and the waiter was kind and attentive. This is a pretty new establishment so go and support local. Its yummy.

    Food quality was fair Some of the sauces were heavy , sweet and or salty. Less sauce or lighter sauce would be better. Fish had been frozen. Restaurant was a bit more noisy than we had hoped. More of a bar than restaurant. Overall average experience. With Asheville having so many restaurants available. This one just doesn’t stand out

    Server made a few mistakes and paid little attention to us even tho she only had 1 other table and the place was pretty dead. The restaurant is small and very open, which would be ok if there was blinds or some kind of separation from the parking lot. The food was actually quite good, just everything else was pretty poor. Definitely not great for kids btw. No kids menu and the server was not great at making accommodations.

    Although the people at the restaurant were very friendly and welcoming, the food was not very good. My fish was ok but the vegetables were soggy with a thick sweet-sour sauce that didn't go with it. My husband's food had too much sauce on it, so that he couldn't finish it.

    This was the 5th time I had dined here. The oysters were delicious, same with the frisee salad. Unfortunately, the 2 burgers were extremely undercooked and we sent one back. The hostess was fairly rude upon arrival. Overall it was good but I probably won't be back

    Most delicious meal I've had out since beginning to dine out again (about a year ago now). Many of my formally favorite restaurants have struggled with balancing quality and cost...making a dining out experience disappointing. Great service and excellent plate presentation, too!!

    What a great find! I was a little skeptical at first because of the location being across from the mall and in a small strip mall next to a mattress store. But the pictures on Yelp looked great and the reviews were good. This place was such a pleasant surprise! Food was amazing- we had the wings, oysters, burger (so good) and fried rice. Everything was really good, service was fast and friendly. Just shows there’s good food outside of downtown Asheville. Was a tiny bit expensive, but food quality and preparation was worth it. Thanks! Will be back for sure!

    Staff we very off putting and not welcoming from the door. Dumplings over salted as were the wok fried clams, overwhelming what may have been good flavor. Mushrooms sauce was also overwhelming. Oysters were good but $44 a dozen ! egregious in such a casual restaurant, there is very little 'atmosphere' Trout was perfectly cooked and accompaniments very flavorful

    If you are looking for fresh seafood that is prepared well, look no further than Little Pearl. What it may seem to lack in service, you’ll forget about after you enjoy the dozen oyster appetizer. With their fantastic menu and fun wait staff; know I’ll be adding this to mu favs.

    This has become one of my favorite restaurants in Asheville. Parking can be a challenge at lunch time, but opens up later and during the dinner hours. Service is attentive and menu options are delicious and healthy. Sure to be enjoyed.

    First time there, but will be back and will tell friends about it as well. Hidden gem! Food was creative and on par with best dining in Asheville. Our waitress was the best Oysters, Asian ethic dishes, smoked salmon soup de jour … all were delicious! And considering restaurant prices these days, our meals were a good value.
