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.
BEST all you can eat in west island ! The peanut butter dumplings are unbeatable & shrimp toast is fantastic as well. No brainer you need to go here! :)
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.
We waited one hour to get our soup! Entrees arrived another 30 min later. Not at all well organized on this new Year's eve even though reservations were made ahead. Portions were small for the group, we got 4 shrimps for 5 people. Price excessively high for the wait. Kids were starving & they didn't offer anything to help them wait. Some people arrived after us & were served before. Will not go back there!

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.
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
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!
AYCE menu option available. We always opte fot that option as the choices are incredible. The dishes are excellent, you get over 100+ items to choose from. We love going in a group setting so we get to pick lots of dishes. We discovered some dishes that we would have never tried before (hello shrimp canapés) & absolutely loved them! The AYCE is worth it!
