Hands down the best restaurant I've eaten to. I went three times & they were all excellent. Yesterday I went for my birthday & it was absolutely delicious as always. The server even brought me a cake slice with a candle & surprisingly, even though the cake looked heavy with all the chocolate, it was very light ! Perfect for my stomach after I ate a lot. The food, the vegetables were fresh ! The fruits for dessert were also fresh ! Our server was constantly refilling our water & the food came in at a reasonable time. Something I loved, is that we told our server about our food restrictions & he made sure our orders were according to that ! Sometimes he even told us :'this has this, would you like the vegetarian option instead? 'which was very thoughtful ! The background gentle music was also nice. We will definitely return again. 11/10.
Edit 2026 : We went again with my family & it's still a fantastic experience all around!! The food quality is amazing & everything is so fresh!!
I used to love this restaurant in the 90's
The quality is no longer as good as it was once up in a time. Frozen instead of fresh. Watered down soups & over priced. I won't go back. Very disappointing
As I await with my buddy in anticipation of the greatest shrimp toast to get dropped graciously on the table by our authentic waiter Bob.'Hello sire, we meet again' - I said to the piece of Shrimp Toast gingerly, before devouring it & bathing the next piece in its red fruité sauce. The sesame crunch, coupled with the intently mashed & freshly served shrimp pâté filling, supported by a buttery crispy base… I drool… *beat* My eyes roll back in pure delight. Bob asks us if we want anything else besides the Fortune Cookies & I respond:'Yeah, the recipe & a box to go please' Bob nods.
Can't believe I only just discovered this place. Our 2nd visit was Feb.28th for my sister's birthday. The food is freshly made & delicious. Wonton soup,spring rolls,boneless ribs, crispy beef, shrimp toast, steamed rice, peanut butter dumplings, every dish is delicious. Service is fast & efficient. Staff work together efficiently to ensure great customer service. We intend to go at least once a month. Staff are all good. Shout out to our server Alex a young man with an infectious smile & nice personality. We always make sure to sit in his section. He goes above & beyond to ensure we have a good experience. Tks Alex.
I've been going to this restaurant since 2013. I've never ate peanut butter dumplings as good as theirs. Food is fresh & delicious, great atmosphere to go in a group. You definitely should try this place! The best all you can eat, keeping it classy. Note: please add a changing table for babies in your restaurant, us parents we would totally appreciate it

La Perle is THE BEST PLACE for szechuan food! Always fresh, this restaurant has held its name for over 30 years. A bit pricey but worth every penny, if you go as a group it's much more enjoyable, their take out is great as well.
this is definitely one of my favorite restaurants, my friends & I have been going for almost 2 decades & I must say I've never been disappointed. One of my favorite things on the menu is shrimp toast which I cannot stop eating because it's so delicious & of course beef with black bean sauce those are my two go-to meals. All the food we've tried were delicious & fresh & the service is top-notch, trust me I've being eating for over 60 years!
My husband & I went to eat there last night & our experience inspired me to write this review - the food is EXCELLENT every single time we go. Fresh, hot, tasty, flavourful... the list goes on. You can eat to your heart's content & never be disappointed. Staff is always friendly & the restaurant is consistently packed, which is no surprise.
