Oncle Lee propose une sélection raffinée de cuisine du Sichuan et chinoise axée sur des profils d’épices authentiques et des méthodes de préparation traditionnelles. Le menu présente des combinaisons de saveurs complexes comme le tofu mapo, le poulet croustillant au piment et divers plats de nouilles étirées à la main qui témoignent de racines culinaires profondes. Les convives découvrent une approche audacieuse du piquant où les grains de poivre et les huiles aromatiques créent une sensation anesthésiante caractéristique de la cuisine asiatique régionale. L’environnement conserve un design fonctionnel qui met en valeur l’art culinaire tout en assurant une efficacité pour tous les clients. Des légumes frais de saison et des protéines de haute qualité forment la base de chaque assiette minutieusement préparée dans ce cadre dynamique. Cet établissement assure une qualité constante grâce à des techniques privilégiant l’équilibre et la précision technique.
Oncle Lee propose une expérience culinaire dynamique et élégante à Montréal, largement appréciée pour sa fusion inventive de saveurs asiatiques et son cadre chaleureux et soigné. Les convives soulignent régulièrement le canard aux cinq épices, les bouchées de saumon sur riz croustillant et les champignons riches en umami comme des incontournables, souvent accompagnés d'une sélection raffinée de cocktails et de sakés. Bien que le service soit constamment décrit comme attentionné, accueillant et hautement professionnel, les avis sont nuancés; si certains clients considèrent les profils de saveurs et l'approche créative comme une réussite gastronomique, d'autres notent des variations occasionnelles concernant la taille des portions, les prix ou le niveau sonore. Malgré quelques avis partagés sur le rapport qualité-prix et l'assaisonnement de certains plats, l'établissement demeure une destination prisée pour les célébrations de groupe et les repas décontractés, en particulier pour ceux qui recherchent une ambiance animée et une cuisine raffinée à partager.
Amazing experience at Oncle Lee our waiter Benjamin was so nice & caring never had a service like this before. The food was beyond amazing & so were the cocktails I have absolutely nothing negative to say !
The food & cocktails were amazing. Very kind & attentive service, & a big thank you to the bartender who helped me plan a little surprise for my dad while dining there!

The ruby-shiny Michelin plate by the kitchen tells you that you are about to have a culinary experience. I made a reservation on the day of our visit, the bar was the best available. I arrived for an early dinner, & the place was at capable by 7. Full. The bar-seating is not for everyone, high stools, constant traffic behind you, & elbow-to-elbow. Yet, our servers offered a very exclusive service, & they were attentive to every step of the visit. The flavors & the aroma of the dishes were balanced. We tried the seafood lo main plate- that was a platter. &, their signature dish, the duck. The bar makes crafted cocktails that pair very well. I wish you book ahead & get a table!
Great food experience!
The Soju Negroni cocktail was excellent; great twist.
The calamari was excellent, although not plated well (hiding the calamari from view for the most part).
The five spice duck was extraordinary; very creative with all parts contributing to the experience. Wife had sea food lo mein: a great dish as well.
Highly recommended.
Montreal always feels to be a lively city. Dining at Oncle Lee Ouest seemed especially vibrant. The service was prompt & attentive not just by our waiter but by other staff waiting in the wings offering support such as offering to bring second cocktail drink.
To start we had the curred salmon, bao & wonton soup to fight of the Mtl chill 😎. Salmon had a sublte tang & with the sharp bite of the ginger. along with bao. The wonton soup did not have your typical chicken broth to accompany the dumplings. The broth was dark containing an explosion of flavours. Notes of star anise & bay leaves along with chili pepper base with strong sesame flavour coming through to warm you up. a great introduction to what was to come.
For the mains we had ( as recommended) the sesame noodles, garlic rice & sweet & sour eggplant. Comfort food taken to the hilt. The noodles had a slightly spicy essence delicate texture but firm to the bite. Eggplant was silky with a great peanut crunch & garlic rice fluffy, full of flavour & comfort with a slight moistness. Will definitely be returning to discover more. Well recommended.
Il faut y aller en groupe pour pouvoir goûter le maximum de plats! Tout était excellent, on a pris le chow mein, le canard aux cinq épices, les pétoncles, les oeufs mimosa & la salade de concombres. Mon seul'meh' était un peu trop de crouch de chili sur les concombres - on s'est régalé!
Mention spéciale pour les cocktails, dont le délicat L'année du Serpent au melon miel. Faut y retourner pour goûter au reste du menu!
La salle était festive, mais notre table était un peu en retrait : parfait pour la conversation sans se sentir à part du fun! Le service était très professionnel & gentil. Une excellente soirée sur Laurier!
I have had my own Chinese restaurant for almost 12 years. I heard about this new Chinese restaurant for some time. Look at our names, Aunt Dai & Uncle Lee!
The birthday of one of my best friends is coming up. I invited her & her husband to try this famous restaurant. I checked the reviews before I made the reservation. I totally understand some customers had a high expectation about the flavour given the price tag for the dishes. With my own restaurant having much lower prices & bigger portions I feel I am a tiny little bit responsible for people expecting higher taste/dollar values. So I am thinking about either doubling the prices for all dishes in my own restaurant or giving this beautiful restaurant a visit myself. Three of us ordered the duck plate (ordered additional crepes for ONLY 3 dollars, I should have asked 10 orders of those additional crepes without ordering the duck at all if I want to save money), spicy noodles, tomato salad, salmon dish, two cocktails named'faire ca pour toi' & tea. The three of us are all from mainland China & we all think the food is very tasty. Me, looking from the angle of a Chinese restaurant owner I think their team is very dedicated to Chinese cooking & they are very into the details. I think it's a great contribution to Chinese food in Montreal. Very impressive! They deserve a lot of credit for doing what they are doing.
After this visit, I would assume Uncle Lee & Aunt Dai would follow each other on Tinder!
Delicious modern twist on Chinese cuisine. The duck was perfection, loved all the condiments that came with it. The oysters were fresh, the deviled eggs were surprisingly flavorful. The standout dish was the mushrooms. Wow it's literally a burst of umami on the palate! Bravo to the chef! Service was friendly. Bar was unfortunately slow, it took 20mins to get cocktails each time. It was also very loud at 9pm on a Saturday, I felt like I was screaming at my partner the whole time. Would still highly recommend this restaurant for the food.
