The Cultured Pearl Restaurant & Sushi Bar
Sushi · Japanese · Rehoboth Beach, DE
About
The Cultured Pearl stands out in Rehoboth Beach as an original owner-operated sushi bar since 1993, long before the town's dining scene exploded. It's housed in a converted hardware store with a 15,000-gallon rooftop koi pond and lake, offering views from the second floor. Sushi is the focus, but the kitchen also turns out teriyaki, tempura, Thai dishes, and American classics. The sushi bar lets you watch master chefs at work.
The full bar runs happy hour and pours creative cocktails alongside a solid sake and beer list. Outdoor seating and free WiFi make it easy to linger. It's on the pricier side, but the quality justifies the cost. If you're near downtown, you could also check out Dogfish Head Brewings & Eats for a different vibe.

“Yum, Yum, Yummy”
This is a wonderful spot for seafood lovers. Even though sushi is a major part of their offerings and I'm not huge on it, there are plenty of other straightforward dishes available. It's a bit expensive, but the food quality and presentation justify the cost.
