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.

I highly recommend the cultured pearl if your in the area! My partner and I were in the area for a day trip and just looking for a nice place for dinner. We did not regret trying out The Cultured Pearl! Although they were busy on a Friday night, we were seated right away! We were given a couple different options for where we could sit, which was great instead of just being put where ever was available! The hostess was super sweet and helpful! Our waitress was a bit quiet, very straight forward with helping us but she was very attentive and made sure we got everything we needed! They have daily special that were great! The drinks were made very well. The variety of steamed edamame was very interesting, we tried the eastern edamame and it was delicious, they even provided moist towelettes for us since it was a bit messy! Great touch! The sushi was delicious, they had some unique options that I've never seen before! My partner got a meat sampler that was amazing! The meat fell right off the bone. For dessert we split the banana tempera. While I didn't care for warm banana, it was delicious! The decorations were beautiful and very suiting for the theme. The price for everything wasn't as bad as I thought it would be for an appetizer, two alcoholic drinks, two entrees and a dessert, the total only came up to about $100 before tip. A great experience!

Ive only been one other time and sat above the sushi bar wishing there were a spot open at the time. This time im sitting at the sushi bar and im just in awe of everything. The sushi chefs noticed and tested me on one of their new sushis and i wish i could tell you more about it but it was this smokey fatty sushi that was just amazing. Run-on sentence worthy. Worth the visit for anyone who loves good food. 10/10.

The best chicken bibimbap I’ve ever had ! It’s served in a hot stone, with amazing flavor & freshness. The atmosphere is great, beautiful decor. The bartender was awesome, very welcoming and overall great service. I’d definitely recommend The Cultured Pearl while you’re in Rehoboth Beach.
