The Cultured Pearl Restaurant & Sushi Bar

I’ve been coming here for years and have never had a problem. I’ve only had their sushi but there are so many options and will alter the things they can so I can have it.

Open all year round! There are a variety of options including hibachi, soups, sushi, and dessert. The staff was great and brought me out GF soy sauce. I had the miso soup, MD crab roll, and the chocolate torte! I felt safe eating here and really enjoyed our evening! I highly recommend it! Call ahead and grab a reservation, because it was busy in the off-season.

Went here for an anniversary dinner! The food was absolutely exceptional, and so was the service. Everything was marked GF on the menu, and there were plenty of options! The server was knowledgeable about GF. As soon as I told her I was GF she asked “Is this a preference or an allergy?” I said “allergy” and she proceeded to list all of the protocols that will be followed for my order to ensure it safe and there is no cross contamination. A different server brought out my food and announced “gluten-free X roll” as they placed it in front of me. Ofc they also had included a dish of GF soy sauce on the side. I had edamame and a few different sushi rolls and they were absolutely delicious. I had zero discomfort in the week following and that *never* happens after I eat at a restaurant. Absolutely loved it and would 100% recommend!

Very rarely can we go out and feel safe and also have a great experience, and this place gave us that. Everything is labeled GF that is GF and the food is amazing. The service was top notch and the experience was worth every penny.

Delicious gluten free sushi, soup, appetizers, and entrees. They also offer gluten free soy sauce. I had a wonderful flourless chocolate cake for dessert.

AMAZING! Staff is very conscious of allergies. GF items are clearly marked on menu. I had the miso soup, alaskan roll, dynamite roll, and Hawaiian roll. All were delicious. Waitress came with separate GF soy sauce as well! The restaurant was beautiful both inside and outside! Would definitely go back!

Extensive menu with GF items clearly marked. Server was knowledgeable about cross-contamination and was easily able to advise me on what was safe. It was a great dinner all around, and no reaction whatsoever. Sushi was fresh and delicious, and definitely get the smoked edamame!

We have eaten here three years in a row while on vacation. It's pretty much a must-do while in Rehoboth Beach. Excellent menu with lots of GF options. Servers are always knowledgeable and inspire confidence. Great restaurant for kids and adults alike!

A pretty good selection of menu items are clearly marked. Server notated the gluten allergy in our group, and though we did not test with the Nima, my celiac partner had no reaction. Delicious sushi! Will absolutely return.

We have eaten here a few times and each time the food has been delicious and the process has been easy. Whenever you state you have an allergy they mark it clearly on the order. Tamari is brought out to the table in a separate bowl. I have always only ordered miso soup, edamame, and sushi but there are also a few hot main courses that are gluten free as well.

Gluten free items are clearly labeled. They brought tamari (GF) out in separate bowl for my daughter. There are many GF options and the staff was very knowledgeable.

Great sushi that is marked clearly on the menu

Celiac friendly?

Menu is very clear about what is gf. Service was impeccable. They have tamari sauce which they bring out to you in a dish.. I don’t love this method as I like to see a bottle but I’m sure all they have is a big tub of it in the back. I do not eat raw fish and there aren’t many cooked fish choices. Ordered the age tofu. Good theory, bad execution. Needed to be fried fur about 5 more minutes. The 4 stars are for service and gf compatibility.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The food was delicious. The menu was very clearly labeled and the staff was knowledgeable.

Have eaten here before with no issues, called in last night for take out and they made sure to double check the menu item and make sure it was entirely gf. i got the green curry - quite spicy even though i asked for mild but so delicious

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Menu clearly identifies gluten free options and they have gluten free soy sauce. The food is absolutely fresh and delicious.

Tried so hard to find a good sushi option within an hour of Ocean City, and this surpassed my expectations. The menu is clearly labeled GF and they have a lot of options. GF soy sauce on site, waiter understood completely and as we were dining with regular people separated the sushi onto separate platters so there was no CC. The edamame were delicious and so were the miso soup options. We got the D.C. Temaki, the hawaiian, the japan bagel, the philly, and the dynamite roll and they were all so yummy. Definitely coming here again!
