Oriental Pearl

We've been here twice - once on a regular week night when it was dead and the second time was New Year's Eve. The first time, service was great and food was very fast. We didn't think much of it because the place was deserted. On NYE, the place was packed to the point that you couldn't move and yet the service was incredible. We were seated in about 10 minutes (with a reservation), server came over right away and the food was on our table in under 15 minutes (!!) Perhaps I had low expectations due to the insane crowd but I've gotten slower service at Taco Bell when we were the only people in the restaurant. I'm not kidding. Food is very good and pricing is cheap compared to most. I'm disappointed to see the # of poor reviews for the place because I couldn't recommend it enough. Maybe we were just lucky both times.

Used to love coming here for great entertainment and atmosphere, especially during karaoke where the entire family would enjoy. Literally have photos and videos with my child at the lounge during a karaoke night. Tonight I tried to sit in the lounge with my daughter and was rudely told we can't sit there with a minor, even though she is clearly accompanied by an adult. When I approached the owner about this he claimed they haven't allowed kids in the lounge since 2015, yet I have videos and pictures with my daughter sitting there just last year in 2023. Not only did he suggest I was lying but he was very short about it. Haven't been to a restaurant with bar/lounge that didn't allow a minor accompanied by an adult, especially for a fun activity like karaoke. It's not like this is a club. Very disappointed. Used to love coming here but now suddenly feel unwelcome because we are banished to the restaurant and unable to participate in karaoke night. FYI there are plenty of other places around that are more welcoming so if you're going for atmosphere and entertainment with your family I'd recommend checking out literally anywhere else.

The food here is just awful,yet the place is packed on the weekends. Why they can't hire a decent chef is beyond me. We were there for Drag Bingo the room was packed to capacity. It's bland American style Chinese food. I had the Singapore noodles and you could barely taste the curry. A year later we are still going for drag bingo but now we go out to eat someplace else before we show up so we don't have to eat the awful food.

Went here on a wim because we happened to be driving by. What we should have done was never stop and go somewhere else to eat. Hands down. Worst Chinese food I've ever had. Practically inedible. The quality of the meats were so poor and the rice was not good. I don't think I have a single positive thing to say. The batter on the chicken fingers was so thick I had to cut into it because it was too hard to bite. How do you mess up a chicken finger?! Surprisingly, the place was pretty busy but that might have just been drunk people playing Keno.

I had the worst experience at this awful restaurant, my server was so rude and the food was awful and I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone , I felt embarrassed about the way she handled it when I simply asked if she could either take it off the bill bc I did not enjoy the meal and she was so rude , I have been to other places that have asked me if I would like something else if I didn’t enjoy a meal or they would take it off the bill and I would of gotten something else if she would of asked but the fact she was rude and awful and talking about me to the other workers , I wouldn’t come here ever again . And the best way to get more business is if it was handled and respected differently. She was the old lady . Unbelievable
