Across reviews, Oncle Lee Kǎo is described as a modern Asian fusion spot with a Chinese emphasis, where the spice duck and duck platter are standout dishes and the food is frequently praised for creativity and bold flavors, while the service is consistently attentive and friendly and the restaurant is noted for accommodating allergies and offering thoughtful options, a lively yet not overpowering atmosphere with a strong wine and sake list and well executed cocktails, though some diners mention that a few dishes can be saucy and salty and a few menu items feel unbalanced, and lighting and noise levels vary by time, making it sometimes lively but still a place to return to for many, with vegan and vegetarian options and a sense that the kitchen can deliver a memorable experience even when not all courses hit the same high note.
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
Asian fusion with a focus on Chinese food. The 5 spice duck is a must order. Service is friendly & excellent. This place would easily be in my top recommendations for Montreal. Credit goes to my wife for bringing me here.
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.
Une adresse à découvrir !

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.
