Since 1993 The Cultured Pearl has been responsible for bringing the art of sushi into the lives of hundreds of thousands. Susan Townley Wood, the designer and proprietor, has created an atmosphere that is unique in the restaurant industry. From the Pearl's long-term staff to its loyal customer base the energy and passion Susan brings is evident in us all. Part of her secret is to always keep them guessing. What will the new construction bring? What new delicious dishes are on the next menu release? The excitement builds with each new project completed! With what we believe is the strongest kitchen in the area the food will never disappoint. Created and prepared by Susan's husband Robert along with many of the Eastern Shore's top chefs. Susan's design and decorating is sure to please. Always keeping in mind, and respecting, traditional Japanese architecture Susan has created an environment full with bamboo, flowing water, Koi and live birds. The Pearl boasts a 15,000 gallon rooftop "lake" that is home to many aquatic species and hosts diners nightly in the raised gazebos. Her desire for the best has shown itself in our magnificently crafted sushi bar and drinking bar tops. Made from a single black walnut tree the two bars together measure nearly 50 feet.

Staying true to their own family needs, Susan and Robert have created a Family Dining environment which allows parents to bring their children into a fine dining restaurant without feeling unwelcome. Chef Robert has also designed a Children's Menu based on his own daughters' likes. Teriyaki, Tempura and Sushi alongside ever changing other kid friendly treats that make for a well received and nutritious meal for the next generation of Pearl devotees.

From start to finish, our visit to The Cultured Pearl was nothing short of amazing. The sushi was absolutely perfection — beautifully presented, fresh, and bursting with flavor. Every roll we tried was a masterpiece — from the creamy avocado-topped rolls to the ones with a spicy kick and vibrant roe, everything tasted like it was crafted with care and precision.

And the dessert? Wow. The rich chocolate torte with blueberries was decadent and unforgettable — silky smooth with just the right touch of sweetness, perfectly complemented by the dark chocolate drizzle. It was the perfect way to end an already fantastic meal.

The atmosphere was relaxing yet upscale, and the staff were friendly, attentive, and clearly passionate about what they do. You can tell this place takes pride in every detail — from the plating to the vibe.

If you’re in Rehoboth Beach and love sushi (or just great food in general), The Cultured Pearl is a must-visit. 🌊🍣🍫

This place was the noisiest restaurant I have ever been in. So much so, you could not enjoy your dining experience. I had the crab soup and green curry. Both were just ok as I expected better and had better at many other places. Our table was in a room on the third floor by the bar and it was really noisy. In order to have a conversation, everyone had to raise their voice which added to the noise level. The place was decorated beautifully with cherry blossoms. The Sangria is excellent.

Phenomenal food & experience. The moment you enter the restaurant, the decor & vibes were immaculate. We ordered the smokey edamame as an appetizer & MY GOODNESS…these were the BEST we’ve ever tried. The sushi was super fresh and delicious as well. Next time we are in town, we will definitely be back!
