This is my first time trying this place. I order the mango milk tea with boba and veggies sandwich with side of curly fries. The sandwich was good, the curly fries was crispy and tasty, and the drink I like it but the boba was not good. The service was ok. The wait was long and it was not busy. Next time i will try others items.

We were in the area and wanted a snack so we bought Kahlua fries. It was sooo good. I didn't see any post on it or photos so I was a little hesitant, but we were super happy we bought it. It has Kahlua pork, green onions, cheese, top with egg. The gravy was already good, so we didn't put on the chipotle mayo. And the fries were well seasoned and crispy. We will be coming back to try other foods. Staff was nice

Loko moko was good. I'd eat here again but wouldn't drive out of my way. The staff was really nice though.

Pearl Cafe is an unassuming Hawaiian BBQ joint that also serves up a variety of pan-asian food. You’ll want to stick to their bread and butter (well, their meat).I had the combination plate with beef, chicken, and beef ribs. Soaked in a sweet and savory Hawaiian BBQ sauce, I knew from the first bite that I was in for a treat. The beef slices did get a little bit stringy, but the chicken was tender and the beef ribs (I think technically the short ribs) were very juicy.Rounding out the meal is the standard Hawaiian macaroni salad, and if you want, a variety of Hawaiian drinks.

The place I go when I get a hankering for Hawaiian food. Great stuff. I love the surf/bbq chicken combo plate!

We are so pumped that we stumbled upon this place (on Doordash). We needed something new in our mix and decided to give Pearl Cafe a try. We love them and have added them into the rotation. The flavor in the mixed BBQ plate is perfect. The steamed vegetables are always cooked perfectly. They're never soggy or undercooked. Our son LOVES the macaroni salad.

Bought some milk tea here was not even blended good and had a horrible taste! Do not purchase milk tea from here!
Ordered food for a Luau birthday party. It was ready when I arrived. I ordered fried shrimp, Kailua pork, macaroni salad and rice. Everyone loved the food. I did not eat since the group is still sheltered but I tried the shrimp and it was among the best I have ever had. The staff was very nice as was the owner, who called me to take my order a week before. Thank you for helping make my daughter's birthday special. I will definitely stop by for food again.

I love the blended thai boba drink. The staff is nice EXCEPT for Rosa. She is a true definition of the B word. She is such a b****, if you hate your job then why work there. SHE WAS ON HER PHONE WHILE HANDLING FOOD! and for being on her phone she didn't get my drink right !!!! and she still got mad when I told her she messed up my drink and was like "you didn't say blended" UMMMM YES I DID MAYBE IF YOU WEREN'T ON YOUR PHONE YOU WOULD'VE LISTENED!!!!! I wanted to slap her nasty attitude right off her stupid face. Someone else will gladly take your place if you don't want to work there. Thanks to her I didn't order food, just drink . I don't go on days she is working, therefore I only go mondays. SHE IS THE ONLY RUDE ONE THERE AND DOESN'T WEAR A NAME TAG FOR THIS REASON!!! everyone wears name tags except the cooks but she ain't no cook.

Much better quality than other local Hawaiian options. Portions are good. I feel like prices are a little high but in Mountain View I can see why.
