I'm surprised I've yet to review my favorite Chinese in the world! I returned to my previous home…read moreof Baton Rouge for a night (I live in the Houston area now), and I was adamant about returning to Gold Bowl one more time for the memories; like always, it did not disappoint. I had been a loyal patron since they opened in 2010 or 2011, and despite my existing reviews, I'm highly disappointed that it took me so long to find adequate Chinese in my new home of Spring, TX in the nearly two years I've lived there. Since my last visit to Gold Bowl in 2017, the owners--husband and wife--got a snazzy new vehicle, the baby's a big girl now, there's a buffet setup and they even have sharp new curtains inside the former Church's! The menu items seem a little more pricey than I remembered, but naturally it was worth it. My usual order wound up being my first meal of the day: boneless spare ribs with shrimp fried rice. The shrimp were still large and fresh, the rice al dente and the ribs so saucy that *you* would barely handle it. They seem to no longer give fortune cookies, but the egg roll still came with; I don't eat egg rolls. So I've gotten my Rainbow Delites snowball, I've gotten my Gold Bowl; next I need my Schlittz & Giggles pizza and my Piccadilly's and I'm all set. Glad to be home for a night.

Its soothing Asian decor puts me into a coma-like state of meditation, from which upon awaking I immediately wonder how many delicious plates I've eaten. For right at $10, the buffet has a good sushi selection, and many of your Chinese-food favorites, all of which I've tested and give my completely-non-racist-karate-chop of approval. The staff are very friendly as well, in the event that you fall asleep mid-meal like me, they will gently wake you after quickly and silently clearing your used plates. For its excellent staff, overall cleanliness, delicious food, and great prices, I give Oriental Pearl 5 completely-non-racist-karate-chopped-stars out of 5! With the amount of money you'll save on such a great meal for you and your family, you'll even be able to afford to pay the unconstitutional red-light ticket you'll get from the camera at Sherwood and Coursey.

The 2021 visit food was below average and service wasn't much to speak of. I live nearby and have been wanting to visit here and try the lunch buffet. I was not disappointed at all. I don't think I've eaten at a Chinese lunch buffet in the BR area that I really enjoyed. I brought my son and he is picky and he enjoyed just about everything he tried. We sampled a good variety. Side note: I've eaten at the other place at Sherwood & Coursey, just around the corner and my visit was once with no desire to return. Food: A really good variety to choose from on the buffet. They buffet is from 11am - 4pm, it's not an all day buffet. The variety they have is definitely quality over quantity. Very impressed with price of $12.99 and the quality of food. Egg roll was good, House Made Roll was excellent! The crab Rangoon was not lacking, it had ample amount of cream cheese, no skimping there. Honey Chicken was good, Sesame Chicken was excellent, had a little spice to the sweetness too. Hunan pork was excellent, beef and broccoli was the only item that was average to me. Sweet & sour chicken, friend rice, lo mein, was very good. No General Tso's or Mandarin Chicken on the buffet. Unsure if they take any requests for specific items to be placed on buffet. Service: I believe the owner was the one that greeted us and sat us at our table. Very nice, attentive, and had good small talk about FIFA World Cup. He immediately took our drink order and drinks were at our table before we returned. Ambiance: Place had a decemt ambiance to it. Very clean. I do remember the old Hunan's ambiance was cool because of the old celebrity photos on the wall that had a good amount of LSU stars. This definitely doesn't have that, but I wish it did resemble some of that, maybe one day it will. The important aspect is the great quality of the food, because I definitely wasn't there for the decor. To my surprise this place wasn't jam packed. I was nervous when I walked in because not many patrons inside, but when we left there was about 5 more tables filled. This place should be more packed.

The inside was clean, spacious, and wasn't busy, which was nice bec we weren't fighting swarms of people like at a typical buffet. I tried a little sample of just about everything. I loved how the food was hot and I'd say the chicken dishes were my favorite. I was pleased with the price, it was a little over $30 for 2 adults, which I felt was good for an AYCE buffet on the weekend. Overall, I'd recommend Hunan if you're in the mood for a fair priced delicious AYCE Chinese buffet!
