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.

3.5/5 overall, the atmosphere & service were great but expect the food portions to be small for the value. The flavours aren't really tailored to the Asian demographic either; some of the dishes seem to be doused in sauces that take away the original flavour of the food vs elevating it (ie. was not a big fan of the tofu with caramelized onion that came in a paste format, sautéed veggies doused in buttery sauce or the ribs that had too much sauce) but really enjoyed the garlic fried rice & French toast dessert. It might also be helpful for the dishes to be more descriptive, as there are no pictures on the menu.

Food is by Chinese standards mediocre with an open mind. Average service. More of a bar than a restaurant. Deafening noise from next table since they yell at top of their lungs. Just a heads up if you're not into loud people. &'1 of 50 new best restaurants whatever' before its opening is just amusing & marketing strategy.

The food was amazing! The service was on point! Atmosphere was cool! But i give this restaurant a 3 star as it's not budget friendly! For the price the portions are too small! If ur going on a date it's fine. But for a family of four with children nope! Not for hearty eaters either! Mind urself if ur hungry don't go ! Otherwise it was a nice experience! Oh & can u plz add chicken on the menu as we had only fish & duck ( duck too pricey) to choose from as we don't eat pork or beef!

Pas de chaise bébé disponible ? Aucun problème ! Un membre de l'équipe part spécialement nous en chercher une dans l'un des restos du groupe. Waw ! Excellent accueil vraiment & la nourriture est succulente. On revient c'est sûr.

Mon restaurant préféré vient d'être détrôné. Oncle Lee a maintenant la première place 🏆de mon palais gustatif. Les cocktails & tous les plats étaient excellents, TOUS des 5/5 👌 Deux plats se sont démarqués & ont été notre coup de coeur à l'unanimité: (1) J'ai déjà hâte d'y retourner pour ses nouilles épicées au sésame, un délice. Je me suis retenue de lécher le bol. (2) Que dire du tartare de boeuf 🥰. Fait important: je ne mange pas de tartare de boeuf. La plus belle experience d'explosion de saveurs & textures en bouche que je n'ai jamais gouté. On aurait dû en commander deux. Gardez vous de la place pour le dessert: le pain perdu, rien à voir avec celui de votre grand-mère. Une expérience gustative à ne pas manquer. Le service était impeccable ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ un staff courtois & souriant malgré une salle pleine à craquer & un line up à l'extérieur en continu. Un +: la déco 🏮🏮👏🏻 La lumière rouge des lanternes nous donne à tous un superbe filtre naturel, tout le monde est beau & ça ajoute à l'ambiance & l'expérience unique. Conseil: il n'y a pas de réservation possible, faut passer & laisser son nom. Nous avions environ 1.5h d'attente. Donc prévoyez le coup. De beaux restos bar à proximité, ça nous fait redécouvrir ce coin du quartier qui semblait revivre avec l'ouverture d'Oncle Lee 🙌 Félicitations au chef, mon cher Oncle Lee, vous cuisinez avec amour & passion & ça se goûte. Bien hâte de voir ce que vous nous réservez dans l'évolution de votre menu.
