Oriental Pearl Restaurant — Restaurant in Baton Rouge

I recently moved here as Im a Detroit Native and was looking for a good Chinese buffet and I've been here 3 times. And yesterday the owner was completely unprofessional stating I had been at her establishment for 4 hours and really it was only 2.5 hours or close to 3 yelling I was eating eating eating loudly in front of other customers as i was getting my last plate and in reality I had only 4 plates and 2 water refills my entire time. Mind you im in good health, so I wasnt piling my plate up at all which the waitress also confirmed. The restaurant only had 6 people in there including me. I was on my phone handling few things business wise and relaxing in the farthest corner. I had also already had paid for my meal. I ended up not finishing my last plate and walked up to the counter and check her about her unprofessional attitude and she proceeded to tell me to get out don't talk to anybody. Just go. Treating me like they treated us in the 50s. I have seen her treat and speak to white customers so the way she treated me was uncalled for. I go to places to relax and get away from my 4 walls sometimes, rather a resturant, cafe ect. I wanted to be left alone. Pay for for service and left alone. Again the time I went was 230 245 so it was basically empty besides take out. And I stopped eating at 515 again cause I wanted to just sit and be left alone. But I will NEVER bring my money back here. Completely unprofessional and rude and she wanted to humiliate me in front of other customers for no reason. Even the waitress apologized and said she went to far. And I don't care if she's nice to others. When your rude and disrespectful to others especially paying customer....and do not apologize. You are not a good person! Get help! Everybody has issues! Don't take yours out on paying...

Recently oriental pearl on Sherwood has been consistently better than Hunan, which is across the street.

The best time is always after the first wave of diners have devoured the first batch of food, and the food is then replenished.

I don't know if they are called vermicelli noodles, but the white noodles were excellent.

The sesame chicken was very good. The chicken on a stick was very good. The dim sum or pot stickers were good and had a pineapple soy dipping sauce to accompany it.

The hot and sour soup was good.

The garlic shrimp were excellent.

The beef as well as chicken dishes were good.

The salt and pepper shrimp were good.

The fried rice was a C. It could have used a little something. The presentation and freshness was there but it was missing that aromatic vibe that classic fried rice usually has.

I don't like mayo sauce on my sushi, so I did not try any.

I consistently go to this location. The service is always great. The owner is always friendly, and the whole crew works hard. I will go back. Check them out when you are...

The service that I experience at this location was just horrible I believe her name is Jenny that works the front desk ... She couldn't be bothered to get off her cell phone she didn't even greet me when I walked in the door I stood in front of her for about 40 seconds before she said anything almost a minute she was too busy scrolling through Facebook .. I had to speak first to get her to take my order this is extremely ridiculous .. and after that a homeless man walked in and asked if he could have a cup of water and she continued to scroll through her cell phone and then said and I quote .... What's wrong with you you need to get a job I don't understand why you don't have a job ... The man was obviously homeless and she's living in the lap of luxury and could not even be bothered to give them in a cup of water .. Jenny if you're reading this you're a...
