Finally a place that lives up to hype! A lot of crap on social media nowadays gaining popularity for nothing. But Oncle Lee delivers! The food was honestly mind blowingly delicious, it was original & imaginative & just an absolute pleasure. You're not going there to get stuffed on a budget. You're going there for a gastronomic experience that will leave you wanting more. Highly recommend.

Had such a great experience at Oncle Lee! The food was absolutely delicious - the ribs were incredible & the spicy sesame noodles were easily one of my favorite dishes of the night. Everything we tried was full of flavor & clearly made with care.

The drinks were also fantastic, & the staff made the whole experience even better. Everyone was super friendly, attentive, & welcoming, which made the night feel relaxed & enjoyable.

I'd definitely recommend Oncle Lee for a dinner with friends or a date night. The atmosphere is lively & it seems to get busy - which makes sense because everything was perfect - so I recommend reserving in advance.

Will absolutely be coming back! 😊

The atmosphere of the restaurant is beautiful.
We tried a variety of dishes from the menu & the ones that stood out were the salmon bites (appetizer) (8.5/10) & the miso mushrooms (9/10). We also tried the chow mein (6.5/10), the ribs with sweet sour sauce (7.5/10), the garlic fried vegetables (8/10) & the sesame spicy noodles (7/10).
The food was good & the price is reasonable (we were a group of four & shared everything). I did find that the food was too salty for my liking which hindered the flavors. I would highly recommend getting vegetables as it brings freshness & cuts the salt from other dishes. Note that the salmon bites are small, however I still recommend trying them out.
The service was great! I overall had high expectations for this restaurant & maybe should have picked dishes that were more varied to not get bored of the bold flavours.

Chaque visite au Oncle Lee est un véritable coup de coeur. C'est devenu un de mes restos incontournables à Montréal. La nourriture est toujours exceptionnelle & le service… honnêtement, j'ai rarement vu quelque chose d'aussi impeccable. La maître d'hôtel à l'entrée offre un accueil digne d'un 5 étoiles : chaleureuse, professionnelle, attentionnée. Notre serveur, lui, connaissait ses vins & ses plats sur le bout des doigts, ses recommandations étaient parfaites.

Côté assiettes : les oeufs mimosa au soja sont une révélation, le riz frit (simple, mais absolument délicieux) accompagne à merveille les viandes, & que dire du canard… je ne suis même pas une fan normalement, mais ici, c'est un gros oui. & le pain perdu en dessert? Une oeuvre d'art. Une merveille du monde.

Bref, un restaurant où chaque détail est maîtrisé, où on mange divinement bien & où on se sent réellement pris en charge.

Super découvre pour nous! Je ne connaissais pas ce resto mais j'en avais entendu parlé & une amie voulait y aller donc nous nous sommes donc installé au bar & franchement l'endroit est cozy, la musique pas trop forte, un bon petit vibe relax, j'adore. Le service avec le jeune homme au bar était très moyen puisque plutôt absent mais la nourriture a compensé. J'ai été conquise par les saveurs de chacun des plats, les épices, les sauces tout était savoureux. Coup de coeur pour les champignons & la trempette au tofu. Ce que j'ai le moins aimé, rien. Je le recommande.

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.

Absolutely amazing experience!
The vibe was perfect - trendy but relaxed - & the waitress/bartender was so sweet & attentive. The drinks were incredible, & the food was honestly next level. We had the spicy salmon rice cakes (I'd come back just for those!), the chili cucumber salad, sesame noodles, & the five spice duck - everything was a total 10/10. Can't recommend this place enough!
