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.

Everything was great! Nice staff & design. The food was really really good! I recommend the duck, it was cooked to perfection. The squid was fresh & perfect. The sauce of the sweet n sour ribs, I could litterally take a bath in it. I'm gonna go back for sure. *****

Hands down, our favourite dining experience in Montreal! Very unique Asian fusion menu, delicious food, lovely intimate ambience, & spectacular service. They were super accommodating of my partner's peanut allergy, & we even met the chef Andersen Lee who was super kind & humble. They also added a special touch for my birthday which we really appreciated. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for a nice night out or celebrating a special occasion. We'll definitely be back :) P.S. If you're from Toronto, think Sunny's Chinese but the MTL version!

We really enjoyed our dinner on the back patio. Food, service & atmosphere were great. We tried deviled eggs, salmon on rice cakes, steamed bream, eggplant, spicy noodles & garlic fried rice. The fried rice was my favorite. Also had gin cocktail #2 that was delicious & so refreshing.

Cute hipster Chinese food. It's nice to have Chinese food be seen as more than cheap take out. I like some of the creativity they've taken with flavors while being familiar still. However the price & quantity you get is a little outrageous. It's Tapas style so you order & share as is typical with Chinese cuisine except you pay a heck of a lot more so if you're hungry. Be warned. The entrees & apps are a better deal. The spicy salmon rice came & tofu dip were really good & decently priced for its quantity. The hot pot for example, per person is definitely not enough as a main meal. Even if you were to eat it alone. The duck at I think 50$ isn't even a full duck. I don't regret it but I'm not sure I would recommend it or go more than once.

Really lovely restaurant in a hip part of town. The service was, truly, impeccable. My husband has an allergy & the servers went above & beyond to ensure everything we ordered was up to par. Never experienced that level of care & consideration in a restaurant - & we've been to places all over the world. The food was stellar, too. Pretty authentic. Not as spicy as advertised, but that was a non issue as the flavors were all there. Highly recommended per delicious food & perfect service.
