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.

J'ai adoré mon expérience chez Oncle Lee. Je recommande particulièrement le plateau de canard, le crudo de saumon, les aubergines & il faut absolument se garder de la place pour le pain perdu! L'ambiance est animée & tamisée, parfaite pour une soirée entre amis ou en couple au bar. Le service était efficace & bien que nous avions réservé au premier service, nous n'avons pas du tout été pressées.

Excellent restaurant Plats goûteux & savoureux ; tout est épicé à souhait! J'ai eu un faible pour le saumon mariné, les aubergines & le plateau de canard👌🏾 Desserts : le pain perdu & la crème brûlée au miso étaient excellents & complétaient bien notre repas. Le seul plat un peu décevant est le tartare : il y a trop d'ingrédients, & donc la viande n'est pas mise en valeur. Le reste était top. Belle carte des vins & beaucoup de choix de cocktails Service rapide & efficace. Bonne ambiance, pas trop bruyant!

Excellent repas chinois. Je recommande fortement les champignons & le tartare! La dorade & les pétoncles étaient également très bon. Les nouilles sésame était bonne mais pas extraordinaire (comme le reste). Carte de cocktail signature assez original. L'ambiance est agréable avec les décorations végétales. Seul défaut : les tables sont très serrées & le volume sonore est élevé (difficile de s'entendre... comme beaucoup d'autres places à Montréal). Facture pour 2 personnes: 6 assiettes à partager + 2 cocktails= 170$ (+pourboire). Je recommande & j'y retournerai!

La nourriture était bonne mais ne pas s'attendre à une cuisine traditionnelle chinoise. Certain plats pourraient être plus goûteux (salade de concombre, légumes verts)! Portions relativement petites pour le prix. Bon service! Par contre, vraiment bruyant, difficile de s'entendre parler même seulement à quatre autour d'une table!

Dishes were very good - had the duck, salmon & chow mein. Nice flavours but would prefer the traditional chow mein flavours it was too far from the norm. Also the duck was similar to pecking duck with the pancakes but flavour profile very different. Also prefer pecking duck. Should make these staple dishes more like they usually taste or create completely new dishes !

The newish Oncle Lee has developed a strong name for itself in a short period of time for a take on Chinese-style dishes. The overall ambiance when you enter Oncle Lee is warm & inviting, with the exposed brick wall contrasting against the deep red Chinese lanterns setting a very unique vibe. The menu is tight & not necessarily what you'd expect from a typical Chinese restaurant & here is where I need to point out that this is not a Chinese restaurant in a classical sense but a restaurant serving strongly inspired Chinese dishes. The portions are relatively small for sharing (again, a difference from the Chinatown restos) & you should be prepared to order multiples of the same if you are a large party. For our meal we Deviled Eggs (good), Fried Calamari (excellent...very good batter & sauce), the Scallops with XO Sauce (very good), Sweet & Sour Eggplant (very good & tasty), Sautéed Greens (good but not especially flavorful), Garlic Fried Rice (very good but for rice the portion was far too small), Crispy Noodle Seafood Chow Mein (very good), & the 5-Spice Duck Platter (good but not the typical Beijing version you may have had) & ending with the French Toast with Ice Cream (very good but a little out of place in a Chinese-style restaurant. Service was extremely friendly, helpful & attentive & we never had to want for anything on that front. Enjoy!
