It's a Chinese fusion cuisine merging recipes with Canadian culture, joining culinary forces offers truly novel flavor combinations & unique menu offerings that customers can't find elsewhere. 📌Plateau de canard aux 5 épices/5 Spice duck platter The moist, tender duck meat, added with sesame sauce & hoisin sauce, roll-it-yourself into a "duck crepes". Defiantly one of the best dishes in Uncle Lee! 📌 Nouilles epicees au sesame/Sesame spicy noodles Ma Jiang Mian inspired dish. Love the overload creamy sesame paste! A cozy & satisfying vegan dinner! 📌Pain perdu & crème glacée, lait condensé au thé/French toast & ice cream, tea, condensed milk Uncle Lee's Hong kong-style French toast inspired creation. We LOVE the taste so much!! Please don't miss out to order this dessert!! Uncle Lee has an excellent service. We had a wonderful experience.

Dishes were very good - had the duck, salmon & chow mein. Nice flavours but would prefer the traditional chow mein flavours it was too far from the norm. Also the duck was similar to pecking duck with the pancakes but flavour profile very different. Also prefer pecking duck. Should make these staple dishes more like they usually taste or create completely new dishes !

C est vraiment une déception je m attendais à beaucoup depuis la fermeture du resto chinois tout près le mai lee café sur st Laurent vraiment uncle lee c est même ridicule et prétentieux de ce donner cette note de cuisine chinoise à un prix exorbitant et vraiment pas justifié ! Un chowmein 😩au fruit de mer WoW vas faire un tour dans le chinetownn svp et c est 3 brocolis chinois trop cuit sans ail dans le beurre à un prix supérieur à la moyenne et tout goûte pareil le soya et le vinaigre très prononcé! Pour 150 $ pour 2 avec 2 biere pas trop froides! Ont dirait un vol ! Vraiment! Ça fait 50ans passé que je mange dans tout les resto asiatique de Montréal et d autres pays mais jamais autant déçu d un resto comme ça ! Surestimé vraiment! Sans rancune mais je ne recommande à personne et je vais continuer a mangé au chinetown

The newish Oncle Lee has developed a strong name for itself in a short period of time for a take on Chinese-style dishes. The overall ambiance when you enter Oncle Lee is warm & inviting, with the exposed brick wall contrasting against the deep red Chinese lanterns setting a very unique vibe. The menu is tight & not necessarily what you'd expect from a typical Chinese restaurant & here is where I need to point out that this is not a Chinese restaurant in a classical sense but a restaurant serving strongly inspired Chinese dishes. The portions are relatively small for sharing (again, a difference from the Chinatown restos) & you should be prepared to order multiples of the same if you are a large party. For our meal we Deviled Eggs (good), Fried Calamari (excellent...very good batter & sauce), the Scallops with XO Sauce (very good), Sweet & Sour Eggplant (very good & tasty), Sautéed Greens (good but not especially flavorful), Garlic Fried Rice (very good but for rice the portion was far too small), Crispy Noodle Seafood Chow Mein (very good), & the 5-Spice Duck Platter (good but not the typical Beijing version you may have had) & ending with the French Toast with Ice Cream (very good but a little out of place in a Chinese-style restaurant. Service was extremely friendly, helpful & attentive & we never had to want for anything on that front. Enjoy!

3.5/5 overall, the atmosphere & service were great but expect the food portions to be small for the value. The flavours aren't really tailored to the Asian demographic either; some of the dishes seem to be doused in sauces that take away the original flavour of the food vs elevating it (ie. was not a big fan of the tofu with caramelized onion that came in a paste format, sautéed veggies doused in buttery sauce or the ribs that had too much sauce) but really enjoyed the garlic fried rice & French toast dessert. It might also be helpful for the dishes to be more descriptive, as there are no pictures on the menu.
