La Perle is described by many as a staple and one of the best Asian spots on the island, prized for fresh flavors, popular items like shrimp toast and peanut butter dumplings, and generally friendly service when staff are on hand, though some visits are marked by slower service and gaps in attentiveness. Several reviews note changes since the COVID reopening, with dishes sometimes tasting drier, prices higher, and portions or pacing varying especially during peak times or Sunday lunches, leading some patrons to question if the experience still matches memory. Despite the mixed notes, a strong current of positive sentiment remains, with frequent praise for takeout quality, consistent flavor when at its best, and a willingness to return; others describe it as less essential than before, seeking other options in the area. In sum, La Perle remains a widely frequented West Island option with a favorable core for many, but the overall experience can feel uneven depending on timing, staffing, and expectations.View restaurant profile

Korean Fried Chicken Comfort Food

Review Summary

Across reviews of Comon, fried chicken is consistently praised for crispiness, juiciness and a flavorful coating, with the sweet and spicy sauce highlighted as a standout and dishes like gimbap, pancakes, boneless chicken and a spicy pork rice bowl frequently mentioned as favorites, with some calling it the best fried chicken in Montreal, and orders picked up are often hot and ready quickly, contributing to a positive impression.

Service and atmosphere receive mixed notes too, ranging from friendly and efficient to minimal effort and higher prices, but the overall sentiment remains that the food is worth trying, especially the crispy chicken with sauce on the side to enjoy the texture, with rice cakes and pancakes also standing out despite the occasional disappointment.View restaurant profile
