Les avis sur Oncle Lee décrivent une expérience de cuisine fusion asiatique moderne où les plats, du canard aux épices aux nouilles sésame en passant par les champignons et le riz frit, sont généralement savoureux et bien présentés, et où des incontournables comme le saumon épicé sur riz croustillant ou les pétoncles reviennent souvent comme coups de coeur. L'ambiance est chaleureuse et variable avec une terrasse cosy ou une salle plus animée, et le service est le plus souvent attentif et professionnel, complétant des cocktails originaux et une expérience culinaire perçue comme raffinée et idéale pour partager entre amis. Certaines critiques évoquent des portions parfois petites pour le prix, des plats trop épicés ou trop salés et un rythme parfois lent ou bruyant lors des soirées chargées, mais dans l'ensemble Oncle Lee est largement considéré comme une adresse intéressante à revisiter pour découvrir des saveurs audacieuses et un cadre convivial.
Hands down, our favourite dining experience in Montreal! Very unique Asian fusion menu, delicious food, lovely intimate ambience, & spectacular service. They were super accommodating of my partner's peanut allergy, & we even met the chef Andersen Lee who was super kind & humble. They also added a special touch for my birthday which we really appreciated. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for a nice night out or celebrating a special occasion. We'll definitely be back :) P.S. If you're from Toronto, think Sunny's Chinese but the MTL version!
We really enjoyed our dinner on the back patio. Food, service & atmosphere were great. We tried deviled eggs, salmon on rice cakes, steamed bream, eggplant, spicy noodles & garlic fried rice. The fried rice was my favorite. Also had gin cocktail #2 that was delicious & so refreshing.
Cute hipster Chinese food. It's nice to have Chinese food be seen as more than cheap take out. I like some of the creativity they've taken with flavors while being familiar still. However the price & quantity you get is a little outrageous. It's Tapas style so you order & share as is typical with Chinese cuisine except you pay a heck of a lot more so if you're hungry. Be warned. The entrees & apps are a better deal. The spicy salmon rice came & tofu dip were really good & decently priced for its quantity. The hot pot for example, per person is definitely not enough as a main meal. Even if you were to eat it alone. The duck at I think 50$ isn't even a full duck. I don't regret it but I'm not sure I would recommend it or go more than once.
Super expérience, belle terrasse en arrière. Tout était savoureux & bon ratio qualité prix Belle sélection de vins incluant des bombes du Qc pas cher pas cher. Pain perdu délicieux. Gros oui pour de vrai 4.6
Really lovely restaurant in a hip part of town. The service was, truly, impeccable. My husband has an allergy & the servers went above & beyond to ensure everything we ordered was up to par. Never experienced that level of care & consideration in a restaurant - & we've been to places all over the world. The food was stellar, too. Pretty authentic. Not as spicy as advertised, but that was a non issue as the flavors were all there. Highly recommended per delicious food & perfect service.

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 been wanting to try this place for some time & now that I finally have, it exceeded my expectations. Great selection, tasty food, lovely vibe, excellent service. This is definitely a place I'll be coming back to again & again when in the mood for well executed, inspired Asian food.
Amazing !!! This restaurant has an amazing atmosphere The music is amazing as well as the service Many vegan options Every dish was succulent ! But for me- what made the night prefect - was meeting the chef Andersen Lee - Thank you for an amazing memorable evening I will be back !

Dreadfully disappointing experience on a culinary level. We were a party of four, harbouring a healthy Sunday evening excitement for this place, only to be met with a mediocre, & perplexing, sequence of fusion missteps. Some things were fine: like the cucumber salad, but inevitably just that. The counterbalance was apathetic & carelessly detailed; like the cilantro garnish on our duck main, which was caked with so much sand to evoke Oka beach; or the calamari entrée...which is actually to die for...if you are a fetishist of deep-fried batter. Also delusional was the portion to price ratio. Finally we had to speculate if this restaurant was perhaps a conceptual endeavour; making a poignant statement about our appetite for empty gestures as the ultimate dish of capital logic.
The food is okay. A bit better than average. The prices don't make sense. Calamari $18 was ove-fried & small. Duck ($50) was nice but... maybe 4 oz. The vegetables were good at least.

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!
Solid spot, I'd recommend sticking to the small plates over the larger dishes & having a lot of variety. The eggplants & the scallops were the show stoppers.
