Black Pearl - (Near Ann Arbor, MI)

Ann BC If you love Japanese food, you absolutely have to visit this place! I love the way the restaurant looks, it truly makes you feel like you’re in Japan. The food is incredibly fresh and delicious, the service is super fast, and I think the prices are very fair.

Robert Jones What a beautiful establishment! This is the perfect spot for an anniversary, celebration or date night. They do welcome kids and families. The ambiance is very romantic, we loved the decor! The service was exceptional everyone was so helpful and nice...they are all very good at theyre jobs. Be aware that the bread they offer is NOT free....the food itself was out of this world and beyond delicious! The drinks were creative and poured to perfection! The pricing is a tad high but the experience, food and drinks are more than worth it! Definitely recommend to everyone!

Yunong Shi Pacific Rim by Kana offers a warm, polished dining experience with refined pan-Asian flavors and thoughtful service. We ordered a variety of dishes and loved every one of them. The Tuna Tartare with Taro Chips was a crisp, textural starter with a bright, clean flavor. The Unagi Terrine was a standout—served warm over sushi rice with avocado and finished with a bold, green mustard sauce. Rich, smoky, and deeply satisfying—one of the best bites of the night. For mains, both the Japanese-Style Sablefish and the Korean-Marinated Ribeye were excellent. Served over rice, they evoke donburi and bibimbap in elevated, plated form. The sablefish was silky and miso-glazed, while the ribeye was charred and tender, topped with a soft egg that brought everything together. Dessert was just as thoughtful. We had a Pistachio and Mascarpone Crêpe, and a Crème Brûlée Tasting with green tea, key lime, and ginger. The brûlées were distinct and well-balanced. Our server even added a birthday candle—unprompted and kind. Service was quietly exceptional. Our young server (possibly a student) was attentive, sincere, and never pushy. The setting is elegant without being fussy—warm lighting, natural wood tones, and subtle pan-Asian décor make it perfect for a special dinner that doesn’t need to show off. Just quality, quietly done right.

Carlos Hernandez Came here for a very special dinner and they did not disappoint! Firstly thank you Mikey for excellent service. Menu options are extensive and mouth watering. The drinks are exquisite as well. I had the filet mignon and it was cooked to perfection. The Perch was also excellent! Drinks are all very tasty and refreshing as well. Really just an exceptional restaurant with exceptional staff.

David Massoni A really fantastic Saturday night out! Yes, they were very busy, but the entire staff; from the manager all the way to the food runner were engaged in making sure that everyone was cared for and having a great time! Food was delicious and drinks were great! Thank you for a great holiday season night out!

aaron grotas This is a new restaurant in Ann Arbor. They have very yummy paella as well as great everything we got was fantastic. The paella had a lot of good flavor and crispy. The seafood could’ve been flavored a little more but the rice had such good texture flavor. I will definitely come back. We did not get dessert, but the churros looked amazing Excellent, friendly service We were in a hurry and they took care of us right away. If you’re visiting U of M this place is definitely worth it!
