This is our first time eating at Black Pearl, and we are completely in love with this place. The snails, shellfish, and other seafood here are fantastic. We tried four different dishes — grilled squid, sweet snail with salted green pepper, lemongrass steamed true conchs, and Thai steamed clams. Oh my goodness, all of them were so delicious. The Thai steamed clams broth could serve as a base for a noodle dish on its own. All the food tasted fresh and not fishy or old. Our server was very helpful in explaining the various options. This is now our favorite restaurant, and we plan to go back in a week.

This is my first ever google review but what I just experienced had to be documented. Picture this: you and your girlfriend travel 3 hours to Houston for the sole purpose of getting a seafood boil for Valentine’s Day dinner. Suddenly, a damn near hurricane hits Houston out of nowhere and seafood boil is no longer an option, we have to flee the city. On our way back home, devastated and defeated, we continue our search for a Vietnamese Cajun seafood restaurant when all of a sudden, come across black pearl 5 minutes away from our way out of Houston. Last minute, we take an exit with nothing but pure hope and nothing to lose. Little did we know, we were about to have the absolute best seafood boil of our lives.
We were seated immediately and our wonderful server, Tracy, quickly took our order of 2lbs crawfish (hot house sauce – a garlic butter delicacy.) It came out really fast and steamingggg hot. When I say the crawfish was the freshest, biggest, juiciest ones we have ever tried, coupled with a big fat snow crab cluster, we could not get enough; we ended up ordering 2 more lbs of crawfish! Tracy was extremely attentive and awesome.
Needless to say, this will not be the last time we make the 3 hour drive for the sole purpose of eating at Black Pearl. They saved our Valentine’s Day and could not be happier. Thank you so much!!!!!!!!

We came here with our son, and he is such a picky eater. He loved the butter garlic noodles and chicken nuggets; completely demolished his plate! Not to mention the waitress there was so sweet and accommodating for putting on some baby shows for him. It was very customizable with sauce options and a wide array of options. Food came out piping hot and fairly quick.

All the foods are so good. We ordered different dishes:
– raw oyster is so fresh
– crawfish:
-House Special flavor. We love house special- a lot of garlic and perfect seasoning.
-Kitchen special -lemon, onion, black peppers- good also but we preferred House special (must try flavor). It’s a little hotter since a lot of black peppers. Don’t order this flavor if you don’t like black peppers.
– Snail with coconut and tamarind snail are so good- the best in town , so rich and sweet and salty perfectly. Better than many other restaurants in Bellaire.

I’ve eaten at many seafood restaurants, but this place leaves me the most satisfied after a meal. The owner always informs my family about the freshest seafood available, making it easy to choose our dishes. The oysters and crawfish, in particular, are prepared in various delicious flavors. Additionally, I often order the salt-roasted soft-shell crab, quail eggs stir-fried with tamarind, Thai-style steamed clams, and coconut stir-fried snails. The restaurant’s beautiful design makes it perfect for dates or family dinners.

During my recent visit to celebrate my little brother’s birthday, I had the most incredible experience at this restaurant. The attention to detail in the use of fresh, high-quality ingredients in every dish I tried was truly impressive. The flavors were exceptional, and I can’t wait to return to sample more of their amazing offerings. Additionally, the reasonable prices added to the overall enjoyment of the experience.
One highlight was definitely the OYSTERS. Whether raw or in the form of cheese versions, they were of generous size and incredibly fresh. I highly recommend trying them out.

Visiting from out of town, nondescript shopping center and decor. But the food and service/advice was great! Some of the best raw oysters I have had and at a good price. She recommended the Sweet Snails and we also ordered the crab vermicelli. Fantastic. Didn’t expect it to be Vietnamese food but worth it.

In all my years and experiences with other seafood boil restaurants, never in my life have I tasted something as perfect as black pearl seafood. Thank you so much to our waitress Tracy/chương for the refreshing Vietnamese hospitality that felt like family. Mấy bạn có thèm an crawfish khỏi đi Houston ăn ở đây là không bao giờ ngán!!!

The family run restaurant was perfect for a night out on the town in Katy. The owner stopped by the table to say hi and recommended the Grilled Squid. The dish was amazing, the squid cooked just right and seasoned with spicy chili oil made you want to keep coming back for more. I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves. Great experience.
