"You could eat at the cozy, compact Pearl and skip sushi entirely—we can’t stop thinking about the tempura-battered fish and chips served with pickle-flecked tartar sauce. But don’t do that. Instead, order the $35 five-piece chef’s choice nigiri for some greatest hits, then ask what’s new. Depending on the season, you might get a mild, silver-skinned belt fish or the sweetest, tiniest little squids you’ve ever seen." - kevin gray
