Pearl Castle Cafe

Pearl Castle, specializing in Taiwanese tea, opened in May of 1996 at Parker Place food court. With over 100 flavours of specialty drinks to choose from, Pearl Castle quickly transformed the Asian beverages industry with freshly-made pearls contributing to an industry boom towards bubble tea.

In November of 1997, Pearl Castle Café was opened at Continental Centre, marking the first official restaurant. In addition to offering the popular bubble tea, Pearl Castle Café also hired a number of well-known chefs from Taiwan, providing customers with a full dining experience beyond just beverages. The combination of innovative dishes, a commitment to using local fresh ingredients and carefully selected raw material from Taiwan proved successful as Pearl Castle Café quickly became a popular choice in Richmond. Chefs were provided the opportunity to excel in creativity and designing exquisite meals to conquer the hearts for those craving for authentic Taiwanese cuisine. A talented interior designer was also hired to create a modern, clean and comfortable dining environment allowing customers to enjoy their dining experience.
