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.

Nous avons passé une délicieuse soirée. L'ambiance était charmante & la nourriture audacieuse. Possibilité de 5 étoiles si la noix de coco du granité avait été plus facile à manger.

Cordialement.

Cute & cozy spot. Incredible service! We sat at the bar. Loved the spicy salmon bites. The popcorn chicken was pretty good but I would have liked a different sauce maybe. The fried bao buns were super yummy but a bit pricey at 15 dollars for one. The hot pot looked really good! & the drinks were good. I got a Yuzu lemonade & my friend got a cocktail that she liked!

We had a wonderful evening at Uncle Lee, thanks to its exquisite food, warm atmosphere & attentive service. We were a group of four, which was a perfect number for sharing dishes & conversation. Everything was delicious, but the three dishes that blew my mind were the'Mushrooms with Miso Beurre Blanc', the'Scallops with XO Sauce', & the'Dou Ban Jiang Beef Tartare'. Another fun choice for sharing in a small group is the'5 Spice Duck Platter', where you make your own wraps combining an assortment of flavourful ingredients. I've been looking forward to eating at Uncle Lee for some time now, & I'm happy that it lived up to all my expectations. This is high end cuisine, artfully crafted using a scrumptious blend of several Asian influences, presented in a relaxed & pleasant atmosphere. Highly recommended!

This was a fabulous & totally unexpected dinner experience! We had no idea & stumble upon the restaurant by accident whilst looking for something else..
Anyway, the portions are excellently sized (borderline generous) & it's super tasty! Goes fantastic well with the rice. We had the spicy noodles, aubergine & the ribs. Sorry, no pictures of the food as I ate everything so quickly! We'll definitely come back soon with friends to share the joy 😁

Décevant. La nourriture n'était pas très goûteuse, en particulier compte tenu des portions minuscules de chaque plat & de leur prix. Seul, ce fait ne mérite pas une étoile. Cependant, ma copine & moi avons été malades les jours suivants notre soirée à ce restaurant. Toute notre fin de semaine a été affectée. Je peux témoigner que ce restaurant a cependant bien géré la situation (suivante ce commentaire) par la suite & ce, avec politesse & avec classe.
