Review Summary

Oncle Lee Kao receives high praise for its creative and contemporary Asian fusion cuisine, with the spice duck platter, garlic fried rice, and various sharing dishes standing out as favorites among many guests. The atmosphere is frequently described as elegant, stunning, and perfect for special occasions, while the staff is consistently highlighted for being friendly, attentive, and highly professional. Although most visitors enjoy the vibrant, modern energy of the space, some feedback notes that the music volume can occasionally become loud and that lighting in the dining area is quite dim. While a few patrons felt certain dishes were overly salty or that the menu could benefit from physical copies for large groups, the overall consensus is that the restaurant offers a memorable dining experience characterized by excellent service, generous portions, and flavorful, high-quality food.

Had a wonderful experience at Oncle Lee Kao Restaurant tonight. I reserved the restaurant for a surprise anniversary celebration for more than 40 guests, & from the very first email to the end of the evening, everything was impeccable.

The team made the entire planning process so simple & stress-free. They thought of every detail, even the smallest ones, & were incredibly accommodating throughout. A huge thank you to the amazing staff, especially Marie, Jean-Français, Nora & more (as there are other staff members also, but with my red fish memory, I can't remember them). They are truly exceptional! Everyone was so friendly & attentive, making sure that we had a memorable & enjoyable evening.

The restaurant itself is beautiful & actually even more stunning than the photos. The ambiance is elegant, warm, & inviting, making it a perfect setting for a special occasion.

The food was very good & beautifully presented. The portions were generous, & I found the pricing to be very fair for the quality of the food, service, & overall experience. A few dishes were a little salty for my taste, although I do tend to prefer lighter seasoning. As an Asian myself, I found it interesting & enjoyable how many dishes incorporated different textures, adding a pleasant crunchiness to each bite. My favorite dishes were definitely the octopus skewer & the fried rice.

One suggestion for future group events would be to provide a printed group menu at the table. Several guests asked about the menu during the evening, & I had to refer back to my emails to answer their questions. I think having a physical menu available would be greatly appreciated by future groups.

Overall, thank you so much to the entire Oncle Lee team. We had an incredible evening & created wonderful memories. I would gladly recommend this restaurant for both special events & a great dining experience.

Came here on an unsuspecting Tuesday night & was pleasantly surprised by not only the food but the excellent service. Our waitress (whose name I regrettably did not ask :( ) was so kind & attentive, even though she was the only one for the night & it was fairly busy she did a fantastic job. The Litchi martini & house beer was excellent as well as our starters! We loved the fried rice & mapo tofu as well. Super cute date spot

The food & the service are both top-tier. Great dark-lit ambience as well. I recommend the crudo & fried chow mein.

Good food but the mushroom is a bit too salty. The fried rice aren't bad.
