Review Summary

Oncle Lee offers a vibrant and stylish dining experience in Montreal, celebrated by many for its imaginative fusion of Asian flavors and cozy, well-decorated atmosphere. Guests frequently highlight the five-spice duck, crispy rice salmon bites, and umami-rich mushroom dishes as standout menu items, often complemented by a thoughtful selection of cocktails and sake. While the service is consistently described as attentive, warm, and highly professional, opinions on the experience are nuanced; some patrons find the flavor profiles and modern creative twists to be a gastronomic triumph, while others point to occasional inconsistencies in portion sizes, pricing, or noise levels. Despite a few mixed feelings regarding the value and saltiness of certain dishes, the restaurant remains a popular destination for group celebrations and casual outings, particularly for those who appreciate a lively environment and a refined approach to shared plates.

I appreciate that they have the traditional Chinese chopsticks set on the table. Mushroom Miso was our favorite plate.

Based on my experience with Chinese food in different countries & cities I would not go out of my way here. We found the chili oil excessive on the wonton soup. I can see it being a great spot for locals.

J'ai aimer l'oncle Lee pour l'atmosphere, les plats & le service. The patio is so nice & I love a patio, but inside might be even nicer. The food was great, good concept. The mushrooms dish was our favorite, it's so good

Super expérience chez Oncle Lee pour l'anniversaire de mon amie. Service attentionné du début à la fin; mon amie étant enceinte, ils ont même adapté la galette de saumon pour qu'elle puisse la manger (version avocat). Tout était délicieux, avec une mention spéciale pour le canard & le pain perdu. On a adoré!

Ça faisait longtemps que je voulais essayer Oncle Lee & j'aurais dû venir avant car c'était incroyable ! Tous les plats asiatiques fusion étaient savoureux & bien réfléchis. Tous les plats que nous avons pris étaient superbes : riz frit à l'ail avec ses garnitures de nori & mayonnaise, bouchées de riz croustillant avec tartare de saumon qui était un équilibre parfait de saveurs, champignons beurre miso qui étaient umami à souhait & enfin le hotpot avec un bouillon des plus savoureux ainsi qu'une belle variété de légumes & protéines. Ma seule mini petite critique serait d'ajouter possiblement un accompagnement de nouilles ou autre glucide (gâteau de riz par exemple) pour le hotpot à faire cuire dans le bouillon! Le mocktail Margarita était délicieux & le saké divin! Sans parler de la terrasse qui est magnifique & conviviale. Je serai définitivement de retour!!

Oncle Lee on Laurier is the kind of meal you keep thinking about long after you've left the table.

We started with fried calamari & shrimp - simple, but executed perfectly. Then scallops in XO sauce, & a ceviche so creamy & flavourful it stopped the conversation at the table. A strong opening act.

The spicy sesame noodles & garlic fried rice followed - both loved, both demolished. Fair warning: there's an aioli mayo on the rice that isn't for everyone. It wasn't for me. Didn't stop me from scraping every last grain.

Then came the highlight of the night: the five-spice duck platter. A refined spin on Peking duck - perfectly cooked duck breast served with pancakes, sauces, cilantro, peanuts, & chilli oil. Elegant & deeply satisfying. The kind of dish that justifies the trip on its own.

We finished with the pain perdu - French toast with ice cream. The right ending to a remarkable meal.

Michelin rated. The service is excellent & attentive throughout. If you're visiting Montréal, this is a non-negotiable stop.

Ate outside, beautiful patio area. Food blew our minds with how good it was. Is pricey, but worth it if visiting Montreal.
