'I've been a loyal customer of La Perle for years': So, you've been coming to this restaurant for years & had a good experience every time except for one time, & that is the moment you decide to write a review? You enjoyed coming to a place nine times out of ten, & the one time it wasn't a good experience, you decide to write a bad review? The math isn't adding up. You enjoyed your visit 90% of the time, & then you decide to give a 1-star review the one time you didn't enjoy your visit.

'one of my family members found an ant in their rice. When we raised our concerns, the response was dismissive, a $20 credit on a $400 bill. This isn't about the money.': The staff apologized to you guys & offered free drinks & a $20 discount as compensation; yet, you were giving the staff a lot of attitude. You emphasized the $20 credit on a $400 bill as if it is insufficient. What else did you want? It is an all-you-can-eat restaurant, so you can simply reorder the dish. Moreover, you said that'this isn't about money'; however, in reality, you demanded a free bill for one person, which is $44. If you are going to post a review, at least don't spread lies & pretend that you'didn't care for the money' or'money compensation wasn't the issue,' which clearly it was when you wanted more than a $20 compensation-even though in your review you state,'This isn't about the money.' I am not sure how one can attain this level of greediness. You found an ant in a bowl of steamed rice worth $3.50 & demand $44 in compensation. This is more than 10x the compensation you are asking for, so don't even say that'this isn't about money.' Unless you suffered mental trauma & psychological damages from an ant in steamed rice, I find the 10x compensation unjustified. You ate all the main courses & appetizers, & at the very end of your meal, you find an ant in a small plate of steamed rice & demand a free bill on your entire meal-including the main courses & appetizers you already ate, which were in good condition. Make it make sense. Found an ant in steamed rice = Free bill including main course, appetizer, & dessert? Next time, go to The Keg & try asking for a free bill (including steak & appetizer) when you find a fruit fly in your soup & let's see if they comply. One's life must be very miserable & sad if they lie in their reviews. What does one gain from this? Must be leading an unfruitful life... must be quite pitiful

I've been a loyal customer of La Perle for years, & it pains me to write this.
Our waiter was visibly sick, sneezing into his hands while serving our food. I asked management to have him wear a mask or be replaced. Nothing was done, & it made for an incredibly uncomfortable meal.
To make things worse, one of my family members found an ant in their rice. When we raised our concerns, the response was dismissive, a $20 credit on a $400 bill.
This isn't about the money. It's about basic hygiene & being heard as a customer. Truly disappointing from a place I've always loved.

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.

Birthday lunches are always the best when spent with good friends. I'll be honest, I have not been to La Perle in many years. When I discovered that they have lunch specials, it was a great opportunity to give it another try. We weren't disappointed. With a full course meal & a multitude of selections available, you can always find your favorite dishes. All meals come with a choice of soup, won ton or hot & sour, a spring roll, veggies, rice, your choice of main dishes, tea, & cookies. I had the General Tao, & my friend had the Beef in Pepper Sauce. See pics. Everything was delicious. The General Tao was crispy, as were the veggies. Perfection. I can't wait to go back & try something else.
