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.
This was such a great meal. Favorite dishes were the spicy noodles, ribs, & spicy salmon on rice cake. Service was a little slow but food was on point. It was nice to sit on the patio but the inside space had a great vibe too.
I had the soy marinated deviled eggs, sweet & sour eggplant, & & the spicy noodles. The deviled eggs & eggplant were incredibly delicious, seriously amazing & can't recommend enough. The noodles were good but not amazing, felt like they could have had a better flavor. The service was impeccable & ambiance was great. Highly recommend this place!
Great atmosphere & service. Our waiter recommended the duck which we had with spicy noodles & greens with garlic. All were fantastic. We started with the calamari which was the best we'd ever had. A great place we'd highly recommend.

Went with a group of 6 for a birthday dinner, cannot say enough positive things! Beef tartare, sesame noodles & salmon rice cakes are just a few of many dishes we enjoyed, everything was fresh, innovative unique. Service was impeccable & friendly! Wish I was local so I could come back soon!
Okay folks this is an Asian Inspired restaurant. We appreciate the effort you put in, but this is Not Asian Fusion. Definitely Not Chinese restaurant. We had high expectations coming here, but unfortunately it didn't hit the spot. Friday night crowd was a mix of age groups with more leaning towards older crowd. Service was normal, nothing better than an average restaurant, & food was edible but overpriced for what it is. Here's a run down of what we got & a short blurb. Appetizers: scallop XO sauce & pork ribs. Scallop was decent probably 2 scallops chopped & tossed in a nice dressing. Pork ribs good flavour but barely any meat to enjoy. Main: Duck, spicy noodles, stir fried veggies with garlic. Duck was most likely cooked sous-vide & seared. Server with 6 wrappers, a bunch of sauces & toppings just like a Chinese taco. Duck was well cooked but all the remaining condiments were mediocre & not complementary to the dish. Wrappers are broken so they leak on your hand when you try to make a bite, the spicy sauce is sweet & not spicy, patte de volaille is so random. Noodles were very oily, tiny portion, below average flavour. Veggies with garlic was absolute disaster, overcooked 3 stems of Chinese broccoli soaked in butter. Yes butter & most likely heavy cream. This was the moment I knew the kitchen is in deep trouble & needs new leadership. No chef would approve for vegetables to be cooked this way. Legend says to use a wok for stir-fry.
It's a Chinese fusion cuisine merging recipes with Canadian culture, joining culinary forces offers truly novel flavor combinations & unique menu offerings that customers can't find elsewhere. 📌Plateau de canard aux 5 épices/5 Spice duck platter The moist, tender duck meat, added with sesame sauce & hoisin sauce, roll-it-yourself into a "duck crepes". Defiantly one of the best dishes in Uncle Lee! 📌 Nouilles epicees au sesame/Sesame spicy noodles Ma Jiang Mian inspired dish. Love the overload creamy sesame paste! A cozy & satisfying vegan dinner! 📌Pain perdu & crème glacée, lait condensé au thé/French toast & ice cream, tea, condensed milk Uncle Lee's Hong kong-style French toast inspired creation. We LOVE the taste so much!! Please don't miss out to order this dessert!! Uncle Lee has an excellent service. We had a wonderful experience.
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!
