I really appreciate innovation, especially when it comes to Asian food, but I have to say that a lot of the fusion here didn't quite hit the mark. The service was great, but honestly, I don't pay much attention to that I prefer to be left alone unless I need a water refill or something. Overall, the food didn't quite resonate with me.View more

Très bon resto, bcp d'ambiance, service rapide(un peu trop) mais c'est un détail, très bon plats. Les huîtres vapeurs sont divines, toutes les entrées sont excellentes. Les plats sont pleins de saveurs & bien travaillés. À essayer absolument!View more

Been here twice & will not be going back. Great service & aesthetic but the food is downright disappointing. It looks great on the plate but lacks balance, substance, & integrity in its complexity which Asian cuisine &/or a fusion demands. The quality is simply not there. If you want a feast for the eyes/Instagram only, go for it, but personally that's not why I visit restaurants... I do not understand the reviews raving about how good the food is. It is worth mentioning, though, the service is pretty great.View more

Belle découverte! Bouffe chinoise raffinée. Tout était bon! Les nouilles épicées au sésame étaient bien épicées! Beaucoup aimé la sauce! Mangé les calmars & crevettes frits, la salade de concombre, le saumon épicé sur gâteau de riz & oeufs mimosas!View more

The sous-vide sweet & sour ribs are a must try. The yard is beautiful. Food is quite authentic Chinese local taste. The service is not the best which makes the experience not so pleasant.View more

Enjoying some Peking duck-basically a masterclass in crispy skin, juicy meat, & the ultimate excuse to roll my food into pancakes like it's a duck burrito party!View more

I have been to Cadet a few times & very much enjoyed the food. When I heard of Oncle Lee, a Chinese joint with ties to the aforementioned restaurant & Bouillion Bulk, I couldn't resist. & folks, the experience did not disappoint. TLDR: Get a reservation! This place is excellent & I am a tough critic. Context: Four of us shared 8 plates & a few cocktails. Company was a former colleague & our +1s. Food: Well priced, perfect portion sizes. The menu is tight - every item has its role & there is something for everyone. Special callout for the spicy noodles, ribs & the eggplant dish. All the dishes were great, but those three really stood out. The portion sizes are important here because one could certainly over-indulge in some of these rich flavors. Dishes were portioned just right. Service: prompt, friendly, strong knowledge of the menu. Our server clearly knew his stuff. The menu is more complex than some, & he had no issue explaining ingredients, the specials, dishes or cocktails. Atmosphere: moody, busy but not overwhelming, music choice & volume was just right. A relatively small place; Oncle Lee has an atmospheric dining room which evolved over our dinner. The lights were turned down as the night went on & the mood definitely entices one to stay for one last round. The decor is subtle & suitable. There is a nice balance between recognizable Chinese aesthetics & trendy themes one expects in the Plateau area. Music volume was just right. Enough to maintain the atmosphere but never overbearing. All in all, excellent. Give Oncle Lee a try, it's unlikely to disappoint.View more

Great food & ambience. Really creative & yummy twists on chinese dishes. We had the sea bream, greens, cocktails & french toast. All very yummy. Left my wallet here & the staff were really kind & waited after closing for me to come get it back. Thank you so much!View more

I was skeptical of the modern Chinese but it was light & super delicious. Steamed oysters with black bean sauce was delicate, beef tartare was amazing, 5-spice duck came with so many condiments & the correct type of wrapper, garlic rice was not too oily & very flavorful. Mushrooms with miso buerre blanc was very good too. Best of all, they were super careful to warn us of what may have shrimp cos of the allergy that we had. Thank you.View more

Great place. Could be excellent with a bit more refinement. The food was excellent, service pretty good, atmosphere pretty good, mocktails very underwhelming. We had the soft shell crab bao buns, friend shrimp & calamari, 5 spice duck & the seafood chow mein. I would happily get any of those dishes again. I highly recommend the bao buns, 5 spice duck & chow mein. Really great quality food! The mocktails were expensive & I would have been just as happy with a water. It lacked flavour & dimension. I was so underwhelmed I didn't have more than a sip or two. The service was friendly but could have been more knowledgeable & attentive. Given my drink was 4/5 full the whole dinner, the waitress could have at least asked if I liked it let alone offer to spruce it up or change it. Overall I would happily go back but would stick to water, sake or wine to drink.View more

Cool atmosphere for this modern Chinese restaurant. Went back in June as my friend wanted to try Oncle Lee for her birthday dinner. We made a reservation a few days before & indicated it was a birthday dinner. While the food was good, the portions were extremely small. For the small portions, I would consider this restaurant to be on the expensive side. It is a share style menu - we ordered 5 dishes to share between 3 people & had to grab a burger after. Service was nothing special. We were left waiting for our main dishes after the starters. After informing the server, I saw him enter it into the system, so I think he simply just forgot. The restaurant has a nice vibe with darker & moodier lightning. It is also very red inside, so unfortunately was not able to take nice photos of the food. Overall, was nice to try but was not memorable enough to entice me to come back.View more

One of the best fusion Chinese restaurant in town. Everything was very delicious (the special on the menu tuna ceviche was very delicious). & I also highly recommended the duck breast too. Cocktails were good. The atmosphere is perfect to come with friends, family & dates. They have a very good menu (not lots of choices but enough to be satisfied). The restaurant is small (Mabe with 50 place seats). Don't forget to make a reservat cause this restaurant gets crowded very easily.View more

Au global, un très bon repas chez Oncle Lee, un restaurant type chinois type Hong Kong. Belle diversité dans le menu, tous nos plats étaient frais, goûteux, savoureux, simple mais sophistiqué à la fois. On a adoré la dorade. Les oeufs ont été dévorés aussitôt arrivés. Le canard pas mauvais, classique aux 5 épices, un peu paresseux parce que pour $50, je m'attendais à beaucoup mieux. C'est un plat de $25 max. Quantité insuffisante pour le prix. C'est le seul bémol de Oncle Lee - Lee Pri sont fous. C'est bon mais les prix sont très élevés. Mauvais rapport qualité/prix. P.S.: svp laissez un ❤️ si ce review vous a été utile dans vos recherches, merci 🙏View more
