Restaurant La Perle in Dollard-Des Ormeaux

Ive been going to this restaurant for over 30 years.It is easily the best oriental restaurant Ive been to in Canada and the UK.

Usually a 5 star rating but quite insulted that our waitress questioned our tip and said we are expected to tip at least 15% . She asked if we liked the food .yet we paid $45 a person for the food. Very sad that people expect a huge tip these days as they should be paid appropriately to begin with.

The food is fantastic, the service is top notch. Billing was a bit stressful but we were a group of 23 so thats understandable. Vegetarian options: Several possibilities Dietary restrictions: The specified to the servers.

Its over, never again. The food is mediocre, just dough in a sweet sauce. Won ton soup: lucky if you find meat there!!!! Really overpriced for what is served, even as much as you can eat.

Yummy to your tummy. Love this place.

Always great food and service. Never disappointed.

Best place for Chinese food

Always delicious, great service Vegetarian options: If you ask they have vegetarian wonton soup and vegetarian hunan dumplings Food : 5/5 |

Its been a while we haven t ordered from the restaurant and their quality has really gone down ! Hunan dumplings had no meat inside just dough their Chinese rice, beef and broccoli was bland no taste, general tao chicken the same was nothing special , etc etc what a shame they were our go to place for Chinese food which we loved but never again! They have become overpriced for no reason 180.$ later do not recommend at all

One of the best places Ive ever been to. I highly recommend it.

One of our favorite Chinese food restaurants, weve been going there for over 20 years.

Always great food, best Chinese restaurant in West island

Best Asian restaurant west of Montreal!

Best Chinese restaurant in Montreal

Damn if this isnt still a great restaurant. Hadnt been in 20 years and it did not disappoint. Try the shrimp toast. Their peanut butter dumplings are also very good. Banana fritters...yum.

In this restaurant they cook Thai food, it is tasty. It is a little expensive, but it is worth it because it is an ad libitum buffet and they bring the dishes to the table, it is ideal for going in a group and everyone eating at the same table. The atmosphere is very good, dignified and beautiful. You just have to make a reservation in advance because it gets very crowded. Includes dessert, tea or coffee. Yes I would go again.

Absolutely the best spot for szechuan in town. Great food and service always matches! Food

Amazing good and excellantr service

I recently went here with a group of 20 people. We all agree: This food is NOT what it used to be. The food WAS great years ago. The price has gone up and the quality has gone WAY down. I dont know why there are so many good reviews. Years ago I would have given them 5+ stars. I used to talk about them to all my friends, but now, it has all ended. Go to Chinatown, spend less money and get better food. Dont waste your time and money. We are never going back here!

Love the food

Food was excellent, the menu was complete, walked out satisfied & over full !

West Island location with plenty of parking. Restaurant has great seating arrangements and not cramped in. The choice of pay by plate or one set fee all you can eat order by number. Prices fair, but not cheap. Food overall good. Everything I ordered came quickly, warm presented well. I would return if in the West Island again, but wouldnt go out of my way to return if not already in West Island.

Excellent food and service. They close at 10 but did not rush us out....was great!

The food was nice and there was a lot to choose from on the menu.

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, and 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 and 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 and cookies with the bill

Always consistent, food is delicious and those peanut butter dumplings are an absolute must! This place is my go-to and they ve never disappointed

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 its much more enjoyable, their take out is great as well.

Still kicking... Parking: Get there early... Food : 4/5 |

Decent food, but slow and unfriendly service. Waitstaff could be more polite and attentive.

I love going here! I ve been going with my family since I have a child! Amazing food! I mean AMAZING, good service everyone is so nice the staff has been working there for decades!! Highly recommend!!!!

Excellent Sichuan cuisine. The best restaurant for this type of food in the West Island. Parking: No problem parking

Wheelchair accessibility: The place is accessible for a wheelchair Food

Its still very good

Heavenly experience!

I called in for a take out order and specified that I was ordering for 7 people. The lady on the phone WAYYYYYYYYY over sold food to us to the point that we had leftovers for 3 days. I felt that something seemed off while on the phone, but when I asked isnt this a lot of food for 7?, her answer was no, you need a lot since youre not taking soupes or appetizers. The worst part is that she wouldnt tell me the amount by phone, only when I showed up for the pickup. Care to guess how much the bill was? $318. As for the food itself, it was mostly fried breading with the stingiest piece of chicken or beef in the middle. It was flavorful, but not at all worth the price. Wont be going back thats for sure.

Still good after all these years. Classic.

You cannot find a better resto in mtl serving szechuan food. They offer thai food as well. If you like peanut butter, you must try their vegetarian Hunan dumplings. They also offer pork dumplings. Staff are pleasant and polite and service is excellent too. All their choices are fantastic especially their seafood dishes.

They dont accept debit cards, only credit. But no one told me about this until I finished eating and tried to pay. Plus the waiter is kinda rude and the meals are expensive for what you get. Im not coming back.

Pretty expensive for some very average food Thai express lowkey better ngl

La Perle has been our go to place for, IMHO, the best Szechuan and Thai food in Montreal. We often go as a group and opt for the all you can eat menu. The choice is amazing and the quality is outstanding. La Perle has not disappointed since we move to the West Island over 40 years ago. Highly recommended.

There is a huge choice of dishes. The service is still fast. There are no limits as to the number but waste is not tolerated, we must pay for dishes that are not consumed. The dishes are very good despite the variety. Often when there are too many things on the menu the quality takes a hit, not here. There is still plenty of parking outside. If you have a craving for Asian food, this is a very good option in the West Island. I advise you, enjoy your meal!

I would recommend The Perle . The food, service, and atmosphere were perfect as usual.

Love the tasting menu!

The food was very good. We took the *All you can eat ($43.95, 1/2 price for kids under 10) and the waiter was very helpful in explaining all the choices. Our daighter asked for a second bowl of ice cream and she got it I would totally recommend.

We used to go to this restaurant all the time and it used to be excellent, but we were very disappointed when we returned yesterday. We made a reservation and had to wait 15 minutes for our table despite. We had the very pricey all you can eat menu and received food that was lukewarm and mediocre quality with many dishes over spiced.. The service was very slow, unfriendly and the waiter forgot some of our dishes despite us not ordering many and we had to ask for them more than once. The waiters were attending to another larger group so our smaller table was virtually neglected. The dessert menu, which used to offer fried banana now only offers simple ice cream and a fortune cookie. If we had not asked to have dessert and our tea we would not have been offered any At over $120 for two people we expected a lot better. Rip off and horrible experience.

The concept of a buffet with table service is very good. This allows you to fully appreciate those around you (friends and family) around the table at all times. The choice of dishes is made together and allows everyone to appreciate and share their tastes so that everyone can try them. The service is courteous. The quality of the food is very good (fresh, tasty ingredients with tasty accompanying sauces). The dining room is clean. The atmosphere is conducive to good conversations The toilets are clean and easily accessible. The restaurant is located on the first floor.

This is a true hidden pearl of the west islands. Love the food and the high class service. I recommend making a reservation. If you are hubgry, chose the all you can eat option. Food : 5/5 |

Food is always good, bit of a delay in seating us and taking order.

this is definitely one of my favorite restaurants, my friends and I have been going for almost 2 decades and I must say Ive never been disappointed. One of my favorite things on the menu is shrimp toast which I cannot stop eating because its so delicious and of course beef with black bean sauce those are my two go-to meals. All the food weve tried were delicious and fresh and the service is top-notch, trust me Ive being eating for over 60 years!

Always a good experience, food is delicious portions are great and everything comes in hot !

Did take out. Like any restaurants, prices are all up. But with La Perle, you are always getting a BANG for your BUCK. Tasty, well presented, hot, delicious. Keep it up.

Food was hot and delicious as usual.

Food was very good. Vegetables were very fresh. Waiter amazes as he goes through multiple items selected in a breeze and gets everything right.

Excellent food choices as much as you want and the service is awesome kingsu very kind and fast service. Appetizer...shrimp toast to die for our favorite the rest were great also..for supper main dish our favorite crispy beef and the schezwan shrimps, vegetables brocolli but again all good.. Very enjoyable experience go there hungry.. Parking: With parking in the back

Its the worst restaurant and most racist restaurants ive been to!! Got at the restaurant at 6 pm exactly got us waiting til 8 pm for our food! Very very bad service! We decided to just leave to be honest that waiting time is too much and when we were about to leave they were just about to serve the food to us we didnt take or eat it. One more thing when i asked for this waitress to leave one menu she handed it to me in a very disrespectful way threw the menu on the table. Never again

Amazing food! Went for the all you can eat buffet and everything was delish and the food came out very quickly. The service was also very good and we will definitely return. We just didn t realize how big the portions were when we ordered since most all you can eat places give small plates and we would have ordered less if we had known! I wish they had the option to let you pay extra to bring home any left overs since I hate wasting food.

Spent $130 on take out. No chop sticks, no fortune cookies, veggies and noodles were like mush, 1 soup missing. General Tai was dry and hard. Ain t ordering from here again!

Rude service and sub-par food at a very high price. We went at lunch hour and we were 1 of only 5 other tables. The waiters spent their time talking amongst themselves loudly and it was hard to get their attention when we needed something. After finally getting a waiter to the table and asking for the drinks we had ordered 20 minutes prior, the waiter responded by rolling his eyes and walking away. When we asked to have our sauce covered forks changed from the appetizer course before receiving the main meal, the waiter was obviously annoyed. The dishes all tasted the same and we left feeling sick and bloated from MSG overdose. This used to be my favourite place to go for a special occasion but it is no longer what it used to be! 30$ per person for a lunch and service that makes you feel sick to your stomach. Never again!

We use to love ordering from La Perle but unfortunately as the years went, the food is still good but the delivery service leaves a lot to be desired. It s always a 1 1/2 hour to 2 hours delivery time. They need to improve that part of their service.

It was a great experience , food was good , kids friendly i honestly forgot to take pictures of all the plates and they were gone fast especially those peanut butter dumplings they are the best. The plates in the pics were half eaten lol .

Nice service ,pretty place you must order from the all you can eat instead of alcarte menu . We paid 250$ for alcarte menu for 7 . After dinner I asked for a bag for the leftovers and they wanted to charge me 2$. We spent close to 300$ with tax and tip and had me pay for the bag. Im taking off 2 stars for that.i had no change and didnt want 2$ on my visa card.very disappointing

Love it

Stay away! Family got terribly sick. Called the manager and ignore our situation..Food loaded with MSG. Beware!

Super good restaurant, the quality of the dishes served is always there!

Well if I could give a -5 star, I would. Bad service, lack of organization and unprofessional staff nor the owner besides she gets angry because she s not satisfied with the tip. Last thing she said to us was dont come back here again! instead of assuming and apologizing for the service.

Delicious food and nice quaint dining room. Definitely worth the dine-in experience. The parking was spacious too.

Food is decent dont get me wrong but not amazing, on top of that not very accommodating when they make a mistake. Basically just eat your food and pay us. They sent us the wrong order and despite being average in taste did not want to admit or send us replacement even after agreement. 1h30min later and the driver just never showed up. They want us to drive 20min to go get it. Very disappointed.

Food was good, but the service needs a little improvement.

The food was good. The service was not friendly but it was okay. We had so much food and had a good time.

Amazing food, incredibly attentive service for a group of 30!! Simply lovely!!!! Kid-friendliness: Wonderfully tolerant with a group of 8 kids under 9. Perfect family restaurant!!!

On delivery, perfect!

Nothing to say about the quality of the truly excellent dishes, the only downside was our waitress only spoke in English and she did not take the time to explain to us how the all-you-can-eat menu worked and thus explain the star dishes on the menu.

Fantastic meal every time!

Food is amazing, portions are fantastic and service has not dissappointed. Currently one of my favorite spots to enjoy all you can eat. Make sure to have a reservation

Weve been coming to eat there for 20 years. The food is great. On the other hand, the service after dinner really remains to be desired. We even called to comment, but the girl on the phone simply told us: if youre not happy dont come back and hung up the line on us. Well, that s what we re going to do!

Excellent service everytime i go. Shootout to Tiffany , Chida and Summer. By far the best dumplings in the region . My go to szechuan restaurant for the last 10 years

My favorite Szechuan restaurant

The food is great, the service is on point. The food is good quality for an all you could eat. Would recommended.

We got there on time for our reservation, they made us wait for over 30 minutes. Service is horrible and slow, we had to wait an hour after the appetizer for the main dish to arrive, waiter was rude. He refused to bring all the items we had on our list. Food is below average, they all tasted the same, either too sweet or too hard. When leaving the waiter followed us for more tips... will not be going there again

Food is always consistently great and well prepared which you cannot say for other restaurants.

this is a great place. Ive been coming here for years. Theyre classy people with a great restaurant that has great food.

Very poor quality and too sweet, bad experience, too expensive compared to the quality offered. Very slow service and tips taken automatically from the bill. We are not going back.

The quality of service and food has declined significantly. In addition to the exorbitant price of $45 + tax for a child aged 10 and over... that doesnt make sense. I wont go back there again.

Food was okay but was disappointed to have only gotten 3 shrimps in a 22$ dish. Waiter said this was normal

Been there a few time, the food is average but the service is awful, no customer respect at all.

This has been one of my favorite restaurants for the last 10+ years. Always great food and amazing service! Best all you can eat in the Montreal

Delicious

Great tasting menu for a great price!

Average Chinese food.

Waiters very attentive, food excellent

Very busy, make a reservation. Food is delicious. All you can eat option with table service.

My husband and I went to eat there last night and 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 and never be disappointed. Staff is always friendly and the restaurant is consistently packed, which is no surprise.

Great food. Waiters could smile more but overall very friendly. Garlic beef, hunan dumplings and the chicken with crispy spinach are a must.

Amazing food

La Perle on Saint-Jean DDO. Did not even get a chance to taste anything. I unrolled the napkin containing the cutlery to find dirty cutlery with a big piece of food stuck to the spoons. We asked for a different set, but they were all dirty, especially the spoons (had ordered a soup, so kind of cut my appetite), a waiter brought back the first set that he d cleaned for us, they were still dirty and at that point the piece of food that had been stuck to the spoons was still there, but now in pieces in the napkin. The manager or head waiter was talking to our waiter in his language very aggressively, we had to ask our waiter many times what was being said. He finally told us he said If they re not happy they can leave. So that s what we did, but before we left they asked us to pay for the fountain soft drinks we had ordered, my husband refused, and told them the manager can pay for them. You d think that a place that charges 45$ per person before taxes for the buffet could give you clean utensils.

Amazing schezwan

Probably the best General Tao s Chicken I have had in ages. The food for take-out was freshly prepared and tasted great. A nice balance of flavours. My only complaint is that they don t include steamed rice with your order (it s an extra cost). I have also eaten there in person and the restaurant is clean and has a nice ambience.

Best Asian food restaurant on the island wonderful staff,great deserts.

Good restaurant with all-you-can-eat menu for around thirty dollars.

Never disappoints

Customer for several years during our last visit some dishes were lukewarm and this was reflected in the tip! We were treated to a scandal in front of everyone from the waiter making us seem like stingy customers. Dont let yourself be manipulated! Otherwise the food is excellent

Usually I like the food at La Perle and the food is quite good...but the portions seem smaller. We ordered the special combo menu usually for 2 but only ordered for one, should be half price but was not was about 40$ instead of 30$ and also that did not include mixed vegetables. I know restaurants are cutting costs but by short changing customers they are going to lose customers. I am not criticizing the taste or the food but rather the value/price ratio. You can do better. Thank you

Awsome food and service

We have been eating here for decades and this is undeniably a West Island landmark. Our last order was take out and although it is always such a wonderful feast eating at the restaurant, the take out did not fall short in quality and flavours.

Excellent food!!! Service only in English, do not take interact card, only cash or credit. And after giving 15% of the $260 bill the waiter told us it wasnt enough and asked to add more.....

Been coming here for years, absolutely love their all you can eat menu. Been having birthdays and events here whenever possible. A must visit

Went a few weeks ago after not going for years, still awesome for quality and taste. Will go back again!

Excellent, it s fine Chinese cuisine. The lunch menu is very affordable and very good service.

Fun place. Good food. Good times

Definitely one of the best Asian restaurant in Montreal. The nice variety of all you can eat dishes are made fresh from fresh ingredients and you can taste the difference.

Today was the first time that I have been back to this restaurant, it was not a great visit. First off the food was overly salty After I had paid for the meal one of the staff personnel came to my table and suggested that I never return to the restaurant Apparently, my tip for the staff was not good, the last time I check tips were optional not mandatory So if you do venture to La Perle for a meal remember DO NOT tip the staff. Other than that good luck.

Worst service ever... The waitress was very rude and she seemed angry at us because we where ordering alot. What a shame!!! Honestly the food was amazing

Very average...As good as in a shopping mall food area... Very Dissapointed

I ve been coming to this restaurant since 2009 and I ve never had a problem with the food(probably the best in its league) or the service. Tonight had been the first time I was back in a couple years and the food was mediocre(lacking taste) and the service was worse. It took 30 minutes to get our plates, we had to ask to have our water refilled and we had to ask for the menu to make another order. When the bill came, I did not leave a tip. The waiter then asked me 6 times why I didn t leave a tip and if I knew that I wasn t leaving tip. I explained my reasons and he then got very aggressive and violent to the point that my little sister started crying. Unfortunately, I won t be returning to this restaurant after almost 15 years

Was not impressed this time, server pitched us the silver ware and cloth napkins , she seemed overwhelmed or new to the job, lots of breading on all chicken plates Dumplings were good though and wonton soup....

Not good!! The worst Asian...its fast food...

I have never been disappointed by this restaurant. Its always fast and fresh.

Always a gastronomic pleasure. Good service, good food for 30 years.

Service was terrible. No food other than the meagher appetizers for over an hour. Had to actually ask when our food would arrive.wont be going back any time soon, or ever!!

Excellent food

I highly recommend

Great service. Great food. Always go for all u can eat menu.

Excellent food but terrible service... Our order was supposed to be ready at 6:45 p.m. and we finally received it at 7:40 p.m. No one apologized for the delay...

I actually had an amazing time at La Perle. People here complain that they give small portions but it is an AYCE. So why not just order 2-3 more of the same platter? For the price and the fact it s AYCE, I find it a pretty good deal. Definitely order the shrimp toast, that was my favorite! The waiters were super nice as well! We stayed till closing and didn t feel pressured to leave

Best peanut butter dumplings on the planet. Every dish is fresh and delicious and reasonable prices, even with the pandemic, keeps us coming back.

All you can eat peanut butter dumplings! If you know a better place in town that makes these Id have to try but until then NOBODY makes them better! Oh yeah, the rest of the food is delicious too. Fresh and hot.

La perle serves delicious food Peanut butter dumplings the best Service always good Theres a reason why theyve been around for over 30 years.

The food was great but the waiter was rude and borderline agressif with one of our party, and you guys dont take interact? Please come to 2022 and take all payments ! Good food, but very rude service

Our server was discourteous, expeditious and impatient. One of the worst restaurant service experiences in a long time. I regret having put my family through this experience, especially for Fathers Day.

Didn t get a chance to try the food but would go back for the view for sure.

Awesome

the best hunan dumplings in montreal hands down!! cant stop eating them when youre there

Very nice atmosphere with good taste. Fast service despite the traffic. I will come back with friends! Too hungry for photos but I promise for next time! :)

The best restaurant for Szechuan and Thai delicious Ive been twice this week its so good

There were 6 of us having dinner at La Perle . You definitely need reservations, it is normally quite busy. There is a large menu and you can order a set price for as many dishes as you can eat. It is unlimited. I myself ordered just 1 dish for myself and the price was extremely reasonable . It was very busy on the Friday night . The service is very good, and all the meals come to the table nice and hot. There is lots of parking in behind the building.

With the exception of the wong tong soup which tastes like water and the frozen stuff, everything else is really delicious, Mongolian beef is a mouth-watering dish. The general tao, lemon shrimp, crispy beef and vegetable noodle and so on. The service is correct. Its worth it.

Absolutely delicious. Portions were perfect and everything tasted amazing. Freshly made food and helpful, friendly staff.

great server made the experience great food is still good loved the sautéed vegies plate and shrimp plate

Great food, Just enough spice to make an excellent meal.

I think this is the most flavourful AYCE Chinese/Szechuan in the west Island, definitely going back.

Fresh. Delicious. Great service

High quality food, great service, very enjoyable restaurant.

Great food with great staff!

Not bad. Ordered menu items a la carte. Tasty. Fresh. Efficient service. Stir fried veggies. Shrimp fried rice. Pepper spinach chicken. Seafood soup. Well done.

Always good, always constant for 20 years that I have known 1st place where I wanted to go after the reopening of the restaurants

Great time with friends,Love the shrimp toast & peanutbutter dumplings! Service was excellent.

Very average food, too sweet and the waiter was horrible! Angry because he considered that our tip should be equivalent to 20% minimum! Its 15%, usually..... Its changed a lot since the pandemic and I gave around 5 stars before. Now its worse than worse. They lost us!

Tasty Chinese food!

Delicious and great service, I will definitely be back.

Bad service. Food is okay

If you want to experience a fancy Chinese/Thai restaurant, it s this one. Great menu options for everyone. The staff is friendly and our food was great.

Great food and good atmosphere. I really love their all you can eat sit down buffet option.
