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.

I visited Oncle Lee with a friend, grabbing a lucky last minute reservation (which are necessary at this PACKED restaurant). Service was quick, attentive but simple. Nothing bad to say about it. The food was very good. I expected much spicier dishes, & was surprised to find most dishes played on savoury/sweet/sour. But, it worked! The eggplant dish was a standout, & so was the yuzu sea bream. But: keep some stomach space for the pain perdu at the end of the meal, that was the standout. The atmosphere is relaxed, but quite noisy with tables close to each other given how busy the restaurant can get. Expect to have to talk louder than usual to hear your mates. Definitely a must eat in the area for a modern canadian twist on chinese fare.

Outstanding quality, both in service & food. I was curious to read the reviews after going there. This place deserves more than 4.3 stars & I'm surprised people aren't celebrating Montreal's diversity of food & influences more when reviewing this place. All the bad reviews accuse this place of not being authentic. It's not 100% traditional, but the food is good, & the execution is well done. Why not get over ourselves with the stir frying & just try to enjoy the broccoli.

Last minute reservation due to the power failure from the storm & glad that made us try Oncle Lee. Amazing modern take on Asian dishes, great cocktails & chill vibe. Great place to split dishes to try more things. Will definitely be back soon to try the other things on the menu that looked yummy!!

The environment is nice, & i enjoyed the comfortable chairs, bar & table size (sturdy & wide). Bone marrow & petoncles were definitely a highlight. However, while the food isnt bad it wasnt anything remarkable in my opinion. i would not particularly recommend.
