La Perle is frequently praised as a long-standing favorite in Montreal, with many loyal customers highlighting its consistent food quality, fresh ingredients, and popular menu items like shrimp toast and peanut butter dumplings. While many patrons describe their dining experiences as excellent and celebrate special occasions at the restaurant, recent feedback is divided. Some visitors report high satisfaction with the attentive staff and overall atmosphere, whereas others express disappointment regarding declining food quality, increased prices, and inconsistent service standards. Issues such as long wait times, reservation mix-ups, and concerns about facility maintenance have been noted by some guests, leading to varied perspectives on whether the restaurant still retains the charm and excellence it was once known for.
Great service! The waitress was amazing, she took much care of our large group, was attentive to our needs & quick. The food was good & fresh, especially the human dumplings. I wish all the food was as delicious!
Don't get me wrong, food was good, yet some not as much. The shrimps plates were disappointing (the sauce), the eggplant was too cooked, therefore mushy).
We were overall pleased with everything. & although it is all you can eat, most of us only had 2 plates & so 50$ plus tip is a bit much. Not knowing if they do, yet I'd prefer selecting 1 meal & pay less. I assume they might with their take out option.
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.
Very popular Chinese Thai restaurant on west island of Montreal, the entrance is on the back of building, through building main entrance for several business, spa, sushi restaurant, bit confusing, & the door of restaurant is not easy to recognize 😀 😜 😉, the food is good, you have two options, all you can eat or pay what you order, you are give pencil & a piece of paper note, write down the number of dish, wait stuff bring the food to your table, they claim general tao chicken is their signature dish, try the dry fried shrimp 🍤 with garlic butter sauce, ask waiting stuff what ethnic Chinese ordered, mostly you will get delicious food, they close at 10 pm, there are fortune cookies & cookies 🍪 with the bill

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.
Le concept d'un buffet avec service à la table est très bon. Cela permet de bien apprécier son entourage (les amis & la famille) autour de la table en tout temps. Le choix des plats se fait ensemble & permet d'apprécier & partager les goûts de chacun pour que tout le monde puisse essayer. Le service est courtois. La qualité de la nourriture est très bonne (ingrédients frais, savoureux avec les sauces accompagnateurs savoureux). La salle à manger est propre. L'atmosphère est propice pour de bonnes conversations Les toilettes sont propres & facilement accessibles. Le restaurant est localisé au premier étage.
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!
I have been coming to this restaurant for a very long time, & the food is always amazing. Great authentic food that is not drenched in sauce. Probably the best restaurant in the West Island! Try the pan fried noodles, they are wonderful!
The service is great, with the waiters always passing by in order to fulfill the customers' needs.
