I had a wonderful dinner experience at Oncle Lee on Laurier. From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with genuine warmth & positive energy. The hostess was friendly & guided us to our table with a smile.

The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated, with a cozy atmosphere & elegant red accents. One thing I really appreciated was that, despite the open kitchen concept, there was no lingering food smell in the dining room.

The service was outstanding. Our server was attentive, knowledgeable, & took the time to explain the menu & answer our questions.
To start, I ordered the spicy salmon on rice cake, & it was absolutely delicious. The contrast between the crispy rice cake & the fresh, tender salmon was perfectly balanced.
For my main course, I had the sweet & sour eggplant, topped with fresh coriander & crunchy peanuts. The portions are moderate, so if you have a big appetite, I'd recommend ordering a few dishes to share & enjoy more of the menu.
To finish, I ordered the pain perdu, & it was absolutely delicious.

Overall, everything exceeded my expectations. The prices are very reasonable considering the quality of the food, the attentive service, & the overall experience. The staff regularly checked on us, cleared empty plates promptly, & made us feel genuinely cared for throughout the evening.

I highly recommend Oncle Lee if you're looking for flavorful food, excellent service, & a cozy atmosphere in Montreal.

This restaurant was fantastic for a group lunch for a bachelorette. They were so accommodating for all our dietary restrictions - vegetarian, gluten free, & dairy free. The desserts were amazing & high tot recommend you get the garlic fried rice, scallops, & the mushrooms.

Je pense sincèrement que c'est le meilleur restaurant que j'ai pu tester à Montreal dans cette gamme de prix 70-80$ !

La nourriture est hyper savoureuse & raffinée. Les goûts sont assez uniques, presque impossible à décrire tant je n'avais jamais mangé de telles saveurs. Les équipes sont bienveillantes, l'ambiance est cool, pas trop bruyante !

Mention spéciale au Canard au 5 épice qui est LE produit à commander sur la carte !!

On m'avait beaucoup parlé du Oncle Lee auparavant & c'était la première fois que j'y suis aller. L'ambiance & la nourriture était superbe au dessus des mes attentes!! Le service était également excellent avec des recommandations de vin au point.

Fortement recommandé!

I'd heard a lot about Uncle Lee's before, & this was my first time there. The atmosphere & the food were superb, exceeding my expectations! The service was also excellent, with spot-on wine recommendations.

Highly recommended!

Food taste was really good, but portions were ridiculously small. Even main menu was almost the same size as small appetizers, we are 4 & we ordered 6+ dishes & still so hungry. I feel that every dishes was covered by bunch of coriander to hide small quantities
