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.

Great place. Could be excellent with a bit more refinement. The food was excellent, service pretty good, atmosphere pretty good, mocktails very underwhelming. We had the soft shell crab bao buns, friend shrimp & calamari, 5 spice duck & the seafood chow mein. I would happily get any of those dishes again. I highly recommend the bao buns, 5 spice duck & chow mein. Really great quality food! The mocktails were expensive & I would have been just as happy with a water. It lacked flavour & dimension. I was so underwhelmed I didn't have more than a sip or two. The service was friendly but could have been more knowledgeable & attentive. Given my drink was 4/5 full the whole dinner, the waitress could have at least asked if I liked it let alone offer to spruce it up or change it. Overall I would happily go back but would stick to water, sake or wine to drink.

Tout est parfait nourriture service & accueil. Un seul bémol la salle devient très bruyante A cause de la popularité des lieux. On y retourne.

Cool atmosphere for this modern Chinese restaurant. Went back in June as my friend wanted to try Oncle Lee for her birthday dinner. We made a reservation a few days before & indicated it was a birthday dinner. While the food was good, the portions were extremely small. For the small portions, I would consider this restaurant to be on the expensive side. It is a share style menu - we ordered 5 dishes to share between 3 people & had to grab a burger after. Service was nothing special. We were left waiting for our main dishes after the starters. After informing the server, I saw him enter it into the system, so I think he simply just forgot. The restaurant has a nice vibe with darker & moodier lightning. It is also very red inside, so unfortunately was not able to take nice photos of the food. Overall, was nice to try but was not memorable enough to entice me to come back.

One of the best fusion Chinese restaurant in town. Everything was very delicious (the special on the menu tuna ceviche was very delicious). & I also highly recommended the duck breast too. Cocktails were good. The atmosphere is perfect to come with friends, family & dates. They have a very good menu (not lots of choices but enough to be satisfied). The restaurant is small (Mabe with 50 place seats). Don't forget to make a reservat cause this restaurant gets crowded very easily.

Au global, un très bon repas chez Oncle Lee, un restaurant type chinois type Hong Kong. Belle diversité dans le menu, tous nos plats étaient frais, goûteux, savoureux, simple mais sophistiqué à la fois. On a adoré la dorade. Les oeufs ont été dévorés aussitôt arrivés. Le canard pas mauvais, classique aux 5 épices, un peu paresseux parce que pour $50, je m'attendais à beaucoup mieux. C'est un plat de $25 max. Quantité insuffisante pour le prix. C'est le seul bémol de Oncle Lee - Lee Pri sont fous. C'est bon mais les prix sont très élevés. Mauvais rapport qualité/prix. P.S.: svp laissez un ❤️ si ce review vous a été utile dans vos recherches, merci 🙏
