Across reviews, Oncle Lee Kǎo is portrayed as a standout modern Chinese/Asian fusion spot where the food is consistently flavorful and the service attentive, with many dishes like duck platters, mapo tofu, crispy chow mein, shrimp toast and garlic fried rice receiving praise, and cocktails and desserts also highlighted. The atmosphere earns high marks for being stylish, warm, and often intimate, with a dim lighting that some note can make the menu hard to read and the music occasionally too loud. Guests frequently commend the ability to accommodate vegan or vegetarian options and to share plates, and many mention returning for the overall experience. A few critiques touch on occasional inconsistency between courses or pricing, but the general consensus remains very positive and that the restaurant delivers a memorable dining experience.
Modern, fancy twist on Chinese food. Service is excellent, food was very good, creative. They are very attentive to food allergies & were able to provide options & alternatives. Very accommodating & appreciated especially when the chef is able to go off-menu.
L'un de mes restos préférés à Montréal. Tous les plats sont exquis & la sélection de cocktails est super. Un endroit festif sans que le bruit ne devienne assourdissant. & ce n'est pas cher payé pour la qualité qui se trouve dans l'assiette.
What a great evening! Our first time & it won't be the last. 10/10. Service was excellent. Atmosphere was inviting & lively...but the star of the show was the food. Very tasty combination of flavors, textures, cooking techniques & thoughtful interpretation of Asian cuisine. An exciting sharing menu. Good wine selection. Highly recommend.
Off the bat, when we entered the restaurant the employees were very professional & the restaurant had a very unique aesthetic which I really loved. We took the group menu so we didn't get to choose our food from La Carte. The food was okay. I felt like the food was drowned in sauce like the egg plant, chow mein, etc. Some meals were overly salty & sweet. The dishes didn't complement each other. My experience was pretty disappointing but I feel like they still have potential.
Très bon restaurant qui propose des plats
Exotiques & très bon. Le service est excellent. La décoration est correcte.
Le seul bémol est le bruit ambiant.
La musique beaucoup trop forte.
Les tables sont très rapprochés.
Par contre c est une belle expérience culinaire.

Amazinnnnnng food. Super flavourful! Great wine & sake list. Dim atmosphere with good tunes, perfect for a friends night out. Staff was super friendly & attentive. Will absolutely come back!
L'endroit, la nourriture & le service sont incroyables. Je reviendrai 100%. Les deux seules choses que je n'ai pas trop aimé sont la margarita & le volume de la musique.

Wow ! Ce restaurant est incroyable 🤩 la
nourriture est incroyablement savoureuse, le staff chaleureux & à l'écoute & le décor somptueux & confortable! Nous étions un groupe de 30 personnes (party Noël 🎄) & tous ont adoré l'expérience 💯 🥇
Modern Chinese cuisine that balances Asian influence with a modern flair. Chef Lee Andersen lives up to his reputation. The plates were nicely served. The service was excellent, & the ambiance was matched the food, traditional with a modern twist.
We had the following & have nothing negative to say:
Although every dish was very flavourful I think I would especially recommend the tofu dip, the 5 spice duck platter & the Crispy chow mein. The coconut tapioca dessert was excellent as well.
Wonderful food. Everything we ate was delicious. We had the duck, the beef, the lamb, the Cornish hen, & the papaya salad. They were all wonderfully cooked & seasoned.
The cocktails were also lovely! Great service as well.
Definitely would come back again.
We went for a dinner with 10 friends. Service was amazing, food was really good. Loved the experience ! We ordered the garlic fried rice, lamb skew, duck platters, & seafood plates. Thank you again for hosting us.
Restaurant découvert au hasard d'une promenade, c'etait vraiment bon. Laissez-vous tenter par un cocktail, partagez les plats copieux. Le riz à l'ail était incroyable 😊
We've been to many of the restaurants under this same ownership & have had great experiences thus we were pleased when we found out that this was another under the same excellent management. The place is really nice although I do prefer better lighting as the menu is sometimes hard to read due to the dim lights. We also found that the music got too loud too early so we had trouble hearing each other.
The entree started very well as the shrimp toast was excellent. But the main dishes were less good, notably the garlic vegetables were just one vegetable & not really tasty. The beef tataki was pretty good & the garlic rice was very good. Overall a nice place but not as good as other options.
