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.

Really good value for money for a place that you could take someone for a date. But if your date is Chinese, they'll be able to find you somewhere with more authentic food & less attentive service.

Dans l'ensemble, des plats savoureux, un excellent service, une belle expérience. Les seuls points "négatifs" sont la taille de certains plats & le rapport qualité-prix de quelques items comme le canard (50-55$ pour une dizaine de tranches) & le contre filet. À essaye

Encore un restaurant à la mode. On comprend très rapidement qu'il s'agit d'une pompe à fric avec : cocktail entre 18 & 35 $, des portions "à partager" de très petite taille & à prix très salé (10-20$ pour chaque petite entrée & 20-55$ pour chaque petit plat). Le goût de la nourriture est bon, mais pas mirobolant. Même si le service est assez bon & que l'endroit n'est pas désagréable, ce restaurant ne m'a pas donné l'envie d'y revenir. Nous avons eu faim en revenant à la maison...

What a gem of a restaurant, great service & cocktails & the food was delicious! Peter-Oliver was so knowledgeable about the menu & a great host! The Peking duck was a highlight & the scallops, the food ordered was for 3 people & the portions were good & not too small. Would highly recommend for a weekday dinner or a nice date spot too

Good food & atmosphere. The service was great as well! The scallop appetizer, although delicious, was very small for the price. It was more sauce than scallop. The chowmein & the spicy noodles were very delicious & had great flavours!

I really appreciate innovation, especially when it comes to Asian food, but I have to say that a lot of the fusion here didn't quite hit the mark. The service was great, but honestly, I don't pay much attention to that I prefer to be left alone unless I need a water refill or something. Overall, the food didn't quite resonate with me.
