Reviewers describe Oncle Lee Kao as a modern Asian fusion spot in downtown Old Montreal with a moody inviting vibe and attentive service. The menu is praised for creative flavorful dishes that blend Asian influences with contemporary flair, with frequent highlights including the duck platter, tofu dip, green papaya salad, crispy chow mein and eggplant, and a variety of seafood and meat plates; vegan and allergy friendly options are noted and the kitchen is willing to adapt off menu. The wine and sake list is well regarded and cocktails are enjoyed, though a few visits mention the ambiance feeling loud and the lighting being dim at times. Overall, diners agree that the experience is memorable, the dishes are beautifully presented and well seasoned, and many say they would happily return.
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.
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.

Oncle Lee est tout simplement un de mes restaurants préférés, & ce nouveau resto sur McGill est aussi, sinon plus délicieux! Les plats étaient délicieux & savoureux. Rien ne déçoit. L'ambiance est chaleureuse, le service est impeccable, & on sent vraiment la passion derrière chaque assiette. Je recommande vivement à tous ceux qui cherchent une excellente adresse où bien manger & passer un bon moment !
Plats excellents, beaucoup de saveurs & très justement assaisonnés. Le toast aux crevettes en début de repas était incroyable, fondant, goûteux, une vraie gourmandise. J'ai adoré l'ambiance speakeasy, & le service était impeccable.
