Review Summary

Oncle Lee offers a vibrant, modern take on Asian fusion cuisine that leaves many guests impressed by the imaginative flavors and high-quality ingredients. The five spice duck platter and the spicy sesame noodles frequently stand out as must-try dishes, while the French toast dessert earns consistent praise as a perfect finale. Although the restaurant is highly regarded for its attentive service and lively, trendy atmosphere, some diners find the noise levels can be challenging and the pricing relatively high for the portion sizes provided. While a majority of visitors describe their experience as exceptional and memorable, a few guests have noted concerns regarding salt levels or inconsistent value, making it a destination best suited for those seeking a creative gastronomic experience rather than a budget-friendly meal.

On m'avait beaucoup parlé du Oncle Lee auparavant & c'était la première fois que j'y suis aller. L'ambiance & la nourriture était superbe au dessus des mes attentes!! Le service était également excellent avec des recommandations de vin au point.

Fortement recommandé!

I'd heard a lot about Uncle Lee's before, & this was my first time there. The atmosphere & the food were superb, exceeding my expectations! The service was also excellent, with spot-on wine recommendations.

Highly recommended!

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.

The food is great, they all have a new combination & taste I haven't tried before but go really well with each other. The customer service is great, they usually come to ask how is it & pour water for us. The ambience is also great, but I think sometimes the music is too loud I can't hear what the waitress is saying. Price is not cheap but compatible with the quality of the food. We go 2 people & order 3 dishes, was enough for us to be full.

Will recommend for everyone to come try 😄

Finally a place that lives up to hype! A lot of crap on social media nowadays gaining popularity for nothing. But Oncle Lee delivers! The food was honestly mind blowingly delicious, it was original & imaginative & just an absolute pleasure. You're not going there to get stuffed on a budget. You're going there for a gastronomic experience that will leave you wanting more. Highly recommend.

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.

Will absolutely be coming 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.
