A Single Pebble

We used to love the Single Pebble but unfortunately, we feel the menu and food is not what it once was. We had the pork bun, mock eel, tangerine chicken, spicy green beans, spring roll, and vegetable lo mein. We wanted the pork lo mein but that is no longer available. Everything was good but lacking. The tangerine chicken was lacking flavor. The mock eel was also lacking flavor. Hubby said the green beans were good but not as spicy as they used to be and asked for the most spice. Service was excellent, everything was great with the service. One thing to note is the food comes to the table as soon as it is ready. Also, the liquor selection at the bar is extremely limited so we had tea.

Returned after several years. Dined early so place not busy. The food is brought out when prepared. The lo mein came before the dumplings. Ordered Tangerine Peel Chicken. The outer coating was crisp and chicken tender but the expectations of a hint of citrus was dashed in first bite. Broccoli was tender but cooled quickly. Portion size okay but pricey at $40. Steamed pork dumplings had generous portion of meat inside, dumpling was thick and chewy. Dipping sauce had an interesting vinegar mix with soy sauce. Tart and salty. Asked for a side of chili sauce. It had spicey heat making the dumplings taste a bit better. The lo mein was way too salty for both of us. The vegetables were not as plentiful as we remembered having on our first visit. Thin slices of some peppers, some mushrooms and a t

We went in for a date night. Our server was a really nice young lady. The other two people in the dining room were two young guys (the host and bartender), both of whom were talking/laughing a lot the whole dinner. There was quiet music playing in the restaurant, which was pleasant. The food we ordered (vegetarian dumplings in chili oil, and the mock eel) was incredibly salty. I couldn’t have more than a couple pieces of each. The eel ($25) was balanced on the tiniest plate imaginable, with no veggies or sides on the plate.

I recently stayed at a nearby hotel and walked over to check out this restaurant’s menu. Prices were not listed on the menu outside, but I called in an order for pickup. The staff on the phone and at the counter were friendly and welcoming, which I appreciated. However, the meal itself did not seem to match the price. The pictured to-go order—green beans, white rice, and shrimp—was over $80. I wasn’t informed of the cost beforehand, and since I had just arrived in town, I didn’t think to ask. I assumed prices would be slightly above average given the college-town location, but the total was a surprise when I arrived to pick up my food. The shrimp unfortunately were overcooked and chewy. On the positive side, the green beans were very flavorful. While I appreciate the great service, the f

Amazing food, great friendly service! We stop here every time we’re in Burlington for the mock eel! I’m super happy that they added the tasting menus; I was worried going there with just two people that we wouldn’t be able to try a lot of things, but the tasting menus (a meat menu and a vegetarian menu) let us try everything while we were there for our anniversary. Love the atmosphere, and the food and drinks were delicious!
