Overall, Oncle Lee receives praise for delicious food and attentive service, with highlights like the duck, spicy sesame noodles, ribs, salmon, and mushrooms, a warm and lively atmosphere, and a terrace option, while the drinks and saké are frequently well received; most reviews note that dishes are designed for sharing and flavors are bold and well balanced, though some dishes can be a touch salty, portions can feel small for the price, and the pace or service can slow a bit on busy nights, making it a strong choice for groups or a date when reservations are recommended.
Really enjoyed our experience here. Walked in at 8 pm on a Tuesday & were sat no problem. Service is fast & attentive!
We got the duck, sesame noodles & eggplant.
Duck platter was a great experience, with complimentary refills of the side sauces & veggie filling.
Sesame noodles on their own were just okay, but pared with the eggplant added much needed texture variety & punchy flavour.
We left full & satisfied!
The food is top quality & filling.
You will be surprised!
Drinks are solid.
Price is acceptable for the quality & portion.
It can be a little crowded & hot but worth the trip.
Belle expérience en famille. Le choix est limité mais de qualité. & les quantités sont impressionnantes, attention à ne pas trop commander (nous avons été bien conseillé par notre serveuse). Repas d'inspiration asiatique, avec des touches occidentales. & pas trop épicé. Belle adresse!
Everything was very tasty, but the cucumber salad needed a touch more acidity. Sorry guys but I paid more than I could afford for that meal...it needed to be perfect. The noodles were perfect I must admit.

It was a great experience, food was excellent, sake tasting platter delightful & so was our kind & patient wait person 😊 Even though we were a bit in a crunch on time (all my fault) they still took the time for the little attention given for my friends bday. Thank you so much!

We had a fantastic time. The food was delicious (Sautéed greens were 10 out of 10, as were the salmon rice cakes)! But above all, The service the service was exceptional. The staff were just really lovely & made our night better, always filling up our water & wiping the table down etc . The attention to detail was great & appreciated. Highly highly recommend for a fab time!! Also Great non-alcoholic options.
I went to Oncle Lee when it opened & went back several times…every time I go the portions of the plates diminishes (ex:tataki saumon) I understand that owning a restaurant is difficult & challenging in 2026 but charging over 20$ for 3 thin slices of salmon is simply too much! When you are a group it's hard to share one plate or 3 slices of salmon tataki… 😐

Had such a great experience at Oncle Lee! The food was absolutely delicious - the ribs were incredible & the spicy sesame noodles were easily one of my favorite dishes of the night. Everything we tried was full of flavor & clearly made with care.
The drinks were also fantastic, & the staff made the whole experience even better. Everyone was super friendly, attentive, & welcoming, which made the night feel relaxed & enjoyable.
I'd definitely recommend Oncle Lee for a dinner with friends or a date night. The atmosphere is lively & it seems to get busy - which makes sense because everything was perfect - so I recommend reserving in advance.
I went for dinner last night with four other people for the first time at this restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious, service was excellent & ambience, warm & friendly. I will definitely be back.
The atmosphere of the restaurant is beautiful.
We tried a variety of dishes from the menu & the ones that stood out were the salmon bites (appetizer) (8.5/10) & the miso mushrooms (9/10). We also tried the chow mein (6.5/10), the ribs with sweet sour sauce (7.5/10), the garlic fried vegetables (8/10) & the sesame spicy noodles (7/10).
The food was good & the price is reasonable (we were a group of four & shared everything). I did find that the food was too salty for my liking which hindered the flavors. I would highly recommend getting vegetables as it brings freshness & cuts the salt from other dishes. Note that the salmon bites are small, however I still recommend trying them out.
The service was great! I overall had high expectations for this restaurant & maybe should have picked dishes that were more varied to not get bored of the bold flavours.
Beau & bon petit resto.
Mets a partager parfait, on a commandé 3 entrées, un bol de riz & des légumes, on en a eu amplement.
Finalement, prix très abordables.
Ordered the hot pot, spicy noodles & mushrooms. Very disappointed to receive a plate of soba noodles & mushrooms drowning in a sauce flavoured with burnt garlic. All the dishes created a meal of indistinguishable flavours. I like trying new places & this was a birthday dinner letdown.
