Booked a reservation for 3. Hostess was great, waitress was on time. We ordered family style as suggested. Portions were fine but our food didn’t smash it out of the park like I remember this place doing. Our fried rice was over cooked and didn’t have much of a fry to it. One set of meat dumplings came out cool on one side. Then our fried tangerine chicken didn’t have much crisp. Waitress was a sweetheart and knew everything about the food. This place was a world class restaurant when I went to school here something different happened Thursday night.

I recently stayed at a nearby hotel and walked over to check out this restaurant’s menu. Prices were not listed on the menu outside, but I called in an order for pickup. The staff on the phone and at the counter were friendly and welcoming, which I appreciated.
However, the meal itself did not seem to match the price. The pictured to-go order—green beans, white rice, and shrimp—was over $80. I wasn’t informed of the cost beforehand, and since I had just arrived in town, I didn’t think to ask. I assumed prices would be slightly above average given the college-town location, but the total was a surprise when I arrived to pick up my food.
The shrimp unfortunately were overcooked and chewy. On the positive side, the green beans were very flavorful. While I appreciate the great service, the food quality and pricing together left me disappointed. Be sure to ask the prices here. I didn’t believe the cost and had to double check on their menu.
The shrimp dish was almost $50 and the green beans were $19.

Another example of unbalanced supply and demand in Burlington. This place would not last where there was competition. We showed 11 minutes early for a 5:30 reservation but were told we needed to wait so we don’t over burden the kitchen. Note, the restaurant was 2/3 empty. Then the prices? $40+ for a single plate of basic Chinese food. Look elsewhere.

I’m not sure if it was just a one-time anomaly, but all the dishes were so salty that we barely touched our food. The one star was for the staff who was friendly but the cooking was unbearable for the price we paid.

We welcomed a discerning couple to Burlington and were relieved we chose The Silver Pebble. Everything was perfect. We especially enjoyed green beans and buddha “beef.” Service was wonderful. The experience was grand!

They discriminated against someone having a service animal. I would not recommend at all.

This restaurant has been our favorite for 20 years! We go several times a year and have never, ever had a bad experience. The staff is so knowledgeable and top notch. The food is superb (especially the sesame chicken dumplings and dry fried green beans…..and the cauliflower….and the lemon shrimp…..and if there’s any fish specials….)
Family, it’s really delicious! ! ! Come again next time! ! !

We had the tangerine chicken, chicken pad Thai, potato dumplings & veggie dumplings in chili oil! Everything was very good - huge portions meant for more than one person. Everything comes to you on a lazy Susan type of thing and things just come out as they’re ready. Very fresh!
Staff was attentive and helpful, very friendly.
The turtle cheesecake is a must!
Just a note for fellow wheelchair users - call in advance and ask for a table on the first floor, there are only a few down there and they fill up! The other two sections of the restaurant are only accessible by stairs.
Great dinner and a nice night!!

Four of us enjoyed the Chef's tasting menu (carnivorous version) last weekend - it was fantastic! And removed the challenge of picking options off of the menu ourselves and leaving that to the chef! Our table was ready and waiting for us when we arrived, and the staff all were very attentive and very friendly. A Single Pebble is still one of the best restaurants in town, IMO.
