Pearl Thai Cuisine

Mark G. Perkins

Pearl Thai in Benicia is like a culinary journey to Thailand with its flavorful main dishes that can satisfy that Thai food craving. The cozy atmosphere wraps you in a warm, mom-and-pop embrace, making it feel like a home away from home. However, when they are busy, it seems like they may need just an extra hand. Now, let's talk about the Tom Yum soup—it's the Thai food litmus test, right? This one had me doing a culinary double-take. It felt like it was playing hide-and-seek with tomatoes, and the spice level was on a mild vacation. I'm all for a flavor adventure, but this soup needed a bit more Thai kick to dance on my taste buds. But hey, the angel wings, the seafood plate, and the shrimp pad Thai? And other dishes were good. They were like a Thai food orchestra hitting all the right notes. So, despite the Tom Yum detour, Pearl Thai knows how to deliver a tasty symphony on your plate.

A solid restaurant for everyday folk. Great food. Reasonable prices. Warm and attentive service. We had an ample dinner for 4 for about $100. That included some appetizers. 3 of us are vegan and one had a food allergy. They gracefully took our order and modified what they served to fit. I had the pra rahm. Excellent. Note that several of the customers were speaking with the staff in their language. There are a lot of nice places in Benicia down by the pier on 1st Street. If you are in the mood for Thai, this place is great. It is in a normal mall with ample parking and is a short drive back to the town center if you want. Town center is fun any time, made more fun when there is a market or something.

Consistently good food. The restaurant is small with few tables but the food is good! Great for take out! Food is always ready by the time they specify. Also love that they’re on uber eats. Try the pad Thai and ragoons!
