Chamo Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Mooyah's sounds interesting. Does anyone know when the Pearl Dynasty restaurant next to HEB will open?Walked in front of it yesterday. Seems to be ready, should be opening pretty soon. There are still plenty of notices on the windows about liquor permit, etc; might be what is holding them.

Chamo Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Had dinner at Red Lobster and a couple of cocktails at Gringo's last night. Places were packed. Surprised with the good quality of food at Red Lobster.Walked around the center and found that:- Baker Street Pub @ Grill is coming soon to Pearland Town Center. I already spend enough time at their Sugar Land and Katy locations; now I will have one half a mile from my front door.- Cork Wine: Good concept, decent kitchen; Unfortunately seems like they are closed. Probably bad timing since the apartments & hotel are just getting enough business. - Sports Authority broke ground. Probably Coming 2Q of 09.- Arby's structure is up; I'll give it a couple of months before opening.Will try to check the new Kroger later today.

Timnwendy Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Chamo, did you notice any signs about the Pei Wei? It looks like it is getting close to completion. Thanks for the update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the update.Outside seems done. Did not check the building inside to see how far they are, but my best guesstimate is that they should be opening early January after the holidays.BTW tried the Paciugo Ice cream yesterday, fantastic.

20thStDad Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 One of those strip centers, on the south side of 2234, the one with Lenny's in it - I noticed that the entire back wall (facing east) was torn down. Or it looked to be. What the heck is going on with that? Typical crappy suburban construction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

20thStDad Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 I guess. It was just one wall though. No roof issues that I saw. And I didn't see much of any other damage around there. Like I said, typical crappy suburban strip mall construction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brerrabbit Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Was at Town Center Sunday and Cork Wine is gone. I went past the pavillion to the restroom and it was empty. No tables, chairs or anything. Looks like that was pretty short lived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
20thStDad Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 Oooh, a town center that everyone in the "town" has to drive to, great idea!I traveled to Huntersville, NC for work (outside of Charlotte) a few weeks ago that had what I think this is aspiring to. But they did it better. Lots of spots to live along the main street, only parallel parking along most of the street. http://www.birkdalevillage.net/welcome.htmThe main street and right off of it were very nice, but on weeknights (except the Monday night that the Panthers played on MNF, that was nuts everywhere) it was pretty quiet. However, as you branch out further from the main street, I saw a few areas that looked brand spanking new, with businesses occupying retail space that already had for lease signs up because they were closing down. That ain't good. I expect the same or worse fate for the Pearland Town Center. They just didn't do it nearly as nice, it seems to celebrate surface lots as much as it does retail space.

bsienk Posted December 24, 2008 Author Share Posted December 24, 2008 I guess. It was just one wall though. No roof issues that I saw. And I didn't see much of any other damage around there. Like I said, typical crappy suburban strip mall construction.Doesn't the building code here in Brazoria County require them to build to withstand 130mph winds? Or is that just for residential construction? I remember when I saw those strip centers immediately after Ike, my first thought was that there might have been a little tornado there.

hbcu Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 as someone who grew up near "new pearland" when it was just a pasture...the same things I see happened to my area has happened to Pearland in terms of people moving out from areas of Houston in masses...if anything, crime has left my old hood and went out thereconsidering Pearland's location though....not surprising as it offers easy access in and out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liammclaren Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 This is sad but not surprising. Pearland is steadily growing and will soon become just like Missouri City & Sugar Land as far as increasing crime. Just stay vigilant and hopefully you won't become a victim.Yeah somehow I saw this coming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timnwendy Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 The Pearl Dynasty (Chinese) restaurant is now open. It sits next to HEB. We tried it. The decor is nice and it was clean, but the food is not that great - especially for someone like me who has been trained (by Wendy) to understand what real Chinese food tastes like.Still, I hope Pearl does thrive.

The Pearl Dynasty in the Kroger strip center on FM518 is not the best either. I finally stopped going there after giving them several chances....lol.

Big menu selection; Wonton Soup and Egg Rolls were fantastic; main dishes were just Ok. I will probably stick with Pei Wei once they open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timnwendy Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Don't know if we have any fans of the "Jon and Kate plus 8" TV show, but I just found out that Kate Gosselin (the mom) is going to be at the Barnes & Noble at the towncenter tonight (23rd) between 6-9pm for a book signing.

To me the food was pretty good and the also offer brown rice. I am no chinese food connoisseur so maybe someone else can give their opinion. It won't hurt to check them out.

noodlemonger Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 My wife and I both grew up eating lots of Chinese food (me here in Houston and she in NJ). Up until 2 years ago we would eat at Bellaire Chinatown every week. Now it's too hard to go that often with a baby.We tried Pei Wei yesterday for lunch. We both had rice dishes with beef. It was pretty good, actually. Better than we expected. We'll be back.We tried Pearl Dynasty a few weeks ago and were not impressed. We'll have to try the place by Kroger's next.For what it's worth I tried the new chinese food place, Imperial China Diner, next to Krogers.
