Black Pearl

"Not one of the better dining experiences that I've had. Came in wanting a basic crawfish boil and some boba. Prices were higher than I had seen online which could either be due to the seafood prices these days or the fact that it was a weekend. I wanted a combo one with crawfish and was informed that there was an additional charge per pound if I chose crawfish. Please note that when they say 2 sausages, they mean 2 slices of sausage (see the picture for reference). Additionally, due to a miscommunication/misunderstanding (not sure which) with the server I ended up with the House Special sauce, which is basically garlic butter, rather than the Kickin Cajun. I was informed after the fact that the Kickin Cajun is not popular because it is sour. Aside from my general confusion that the Cajun sauce isn't the best option for a Cajun dish, I can't comment any further since I ate what I got, which was the House special, medium heat. The crawfish themselves were tender and tasted fresh and they did not skimp on the garlic. It was just salty enough and just spicy enough. As for the boba, I was told they didn't have the small size that was listed on their menu, and more importantly, that they didn't have the typical black boba balls, only the crystal boba. To be frank, this seems like an oversight. It would be different if they just happened to have a few boba options in their drink section, but they shouldn't advertise themselves as a "Seafood Bar & Boba" if there isn't even classic boba. To be clear: the food is not bad. It just didn't hit the spot, on multiple points."

"Everything was good, except the razor clam. Flavor of the snail was very good, but portion is small and pricey."

"It was amazing. Service was great, servings were HUGE, atmosphere was chill, and food was well seasoned and delicious!!! Highly recommended the blackened tilapia with shrimp étoufée. Will definitely return next time we visit the island."

"Stopped in before heading to Katy Christmas Lights for a quick bite. Ordered shrimp and oysters along with some potstickers and two shrimp baskets. Food was good service was ok there was only one person taking orders for the whole place."

"Ordered crab fried rice ($14), shrimp garlic noodles ($11), grilled squid ($16), grilled scallops ($9), and mussels ($10) Service - From the get go, the waitress seemed to be in a rush with all her interactions with us, even though there was only one other occupied table in the whole restaurant (with only one person sitting there). Even though all of us were wearing masks, she was not wearing one when she would talk to us. Environment - space was clean but they have both music and TV's on. The TV's drowned out the music and was stuck on commercial breaks which was really distracting. Food - As for the food, it was fine. I really liked the mussels - it came in a garlic butter lemon sauce. Also liked the grilled scallops and grilled squid. On the other hand, the crab fried rice and shrimp garlic noodles were okay but not as good as the other items we ordered. If I were to get something again, I would get the mussels and the scallops. Overall, food was okay but service can definitely be improved."
