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 went there for dinner date! everything was amazing ! i like the atmosphere! the music in background is a bit loud which makes it hard to have a conversation! duck is chewy & not well cooked! but the rest of the meal highly recommend!
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 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.
Oncle Lee on Laurier is the kind of meal you keep thinking about long after you've left the table.
We started with fried calamari & shrimp - simple, but executed perfectly. Then scallops in XO sauce, & a ceviche so creamy & flavourful it stopped the conversation at the table. A strong opening act.
The spicy sesame noodles & garlic fried rice followed - both loved, both demolished. Fair warning: there's an aioli mayo on the rice that isn't for everyone. It wasn't for me. Didn't stop me from scraping every last grain.
Then came the highlight of the night: the five-spice duck platter. A refined spin on Peking duck - perfectly cooked duck breast served with pancakes, sauces, cilantro, peanuts, & chilli oil. Elegant & deeply satisfying. The kind of dish that justifies the trip on its own.
We finished with the pain perdu - French toast with ice cream. The right ending to a remarkable meal.
Michelin rated. The service is excellent & attentive throughout. If you're visiting Montréal, this is a non-negotiable stop.

Gen pop gin drop cocktail was amazing.
Duck entree was fabulous as well.
Great vibe.
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!
