Review Summary

Oncle Lee offers a vibrant and stylish dining experience in Montreal, celebrated by many for its imaginative fusion of Asian flavors and cozy, well-decorated atmosphere. Guests frequently highlight the five-spice duck, crispy rice salmon bites, and umami-rich mushroom dishes as standout menu items, often complemented by a thoughtful selection of cocktails and sake. While the service is consistently described as attentive, warm, and highly professional, opinions on the experience are nuanced; some patrons find the flavor profiles and modern creative twists to be a gastronomic triumph, while others point to occasional inconsistencies in portion sizes, pricing, or noise levels. Despite a few mixed feelings regarding the value and saltiness of certain dishes, the restaurant remains a popular destination for group celebrations and casual outings, particularly for those who appreciate a lively environment and a refined approach to shared plates.

Excellent souper en famille. Vraiment très bon. Ce n'est pas de la nourriture chinoise du quartier chinois. Oh ! Non. C est recherché, équilibré! Savoureux ! Vraiment une belle expérience. Merci

Nice lively place - had a great bday dinner experience. They have a main seating area & a separate garden area.

The food was great, highly recommend trying their duck & miso mushrooms. The food was so nice - did even had a chance to take a picture. The service was also excellent. Will definitely come again next time I'm in town

I had a wonderful dinner experience at Oncle Lee on Laurier. From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with genuine warmth & positive energy. The hostess was friendly & guided us to our table with a smile.

The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated, with a cozy atmosphere & elegant red accents. One thing I really appreciated was that, despite the open kitchen concept, there was no lingering food smell in the dining room.

The service was outstanding. Our server was attentive, knowledgeable, & took the time to explain the menu & answer our questions.
To start, I ordered the spicy salmon on rice cake, & it was absolutely delicious. The contrast between the crispy rice cake & the fresh, tender salmon was perfectly balanced.
For my main course, I had the sweet & sour eggplant, topped with fresh coriander & crunchy peanuts. The portions are moderate, so if you have a big appetite, I'd recommend ordering a few dishes to share & enjoy more of the menu.
To finish, I ordered the pain perdu, & it was absolutely delicious.

Overall, everything exceeded my expectations. The prices are very reasonable considering the quality of the food, the attentive service, & the overall experience. The staff regularly checked on us, cleared empty plates promptly, & made us feel genuinely cared for throughout the evening.

I highly recommend Oncle Lee if you're looking for flavorful food, excellent service, & a cozy atmosphere in Montreal.
