Review Summary

Oncle Lee offers a vibrant, modern take on Asian fusion cuisine that leaves many guests impressed by the imaginative flavors and high-quality ingredients. The five spice duck platter and the spicy sesame noodles frequently stand out as must-try dishes, while the French toast dessert earns consistent praise as a perfect finale. Although the restaurant is highly regarded for its attentive service and lively, trendy atmosphere, some diners find the noise levels can be challenging and the pricing relatively high for the portion sizes provided. While a majority of visitors describe their experience as exceptional and memorable, a few guests have noted concerns regarding salt levels or inconsistent value, making it a destination best suited for those seeking a creative gastronomic experience rather than a budget-friendly meal.

The sesame noodles & eggplant were a bit above average but together they made a surprisingly nice combination. I loved the way the eggplant was cooked to perfection & the sauce was delicious. My main complaint is the bacon wasn't necessary but they said it was for saltiness. The peanuts on the eggplant were out of place too but went well when mixed with the sesame noodles. Maybe the peanuts should go on the sesame noodles instead but I think they should have been smaller pieces. When I gave my feedback about the eggplant to the waiter he offered to take it back at no charge but I didn't want to waste food because it wasn't bad. The service was really good the whole time & the restaurant was beautiful.
I came back & had both types of oysters : black bean & the yuzu mignonette. Both delicious & high quality but expensive. 10 oysters for $50.. still, I don't regret trying them

On m'avait beaucoup parlé du Oncle Lee auparavant & c'était la première fois que j'y suis aller. L'ambiance & la nourriture était superbe au dessus des mes attentes!! Le service était également excellent avec des recommandations de vin au point.

Fortement recommandé!

I'd heard a lot about Uncle Lee's before, & this was my first time there. The atmosphere & the food were superb, exceeding my expectations! The service was also excellent, with spot-on wine recommendations.

Highly recommended!

Food taste was really good, but portions were ridiculously small. Even main menu was almost the same size as small appetizers, we are 4 & we ordered 6+ dishes & still so hungry. I feel that every dishes was covered by bunch of coriander to hide small quantities

The service & place is very nice. Had the the tofu dip (8/10) & tartare (7.5) which were probably my favorites. The spicy noodles (7.5) & veggies (7.5) are good. Not a fan of this version of peking duck (6.5). The sauces, daikon, peanuts almost makes it taste like a banh mi instead of the traditional chinese duck.

Overall decent for a first time, but don't expect traditional taste.

The food & cocktails were amazing. Very kind & attentive service, & a big thank you to the bartender who helped me plan a little surprise for my dad while dining there!

The ruby-shiny Michelin plate by the kitchen tells you that you are about to have a culinary experience. I made a reservation on the day of our visit, the bar was the best available. I arrived for an early dinner, & the place was at capable by 7. Full. The bar-seating is not for everyone, high stools, constant traffic behind you, & elbow-to-elbow. Yet, our servers offered a very exclusive service, & they were attentive to every step of the visit. The flavors & the aroma of the dishes were balanced. We tried the seafood lo main plate- that was a platter. &, their signature dish, the duck. The bar makes crafted cocktails that pair very well. I wish you book ahead & get a table!

Great food experience!
The Soju Negroni cocktail was excellent; great twist.
The calamari was excellent, although not plated well (hiding the calamari from view for the most part).
The five spice duck was extraordinary; very creative with all parts contributing to the experience. Wife had sea food lo mein: a great dish as well.
Highly recommended.
