    We went to Lee for special occasion. I definitely wanted my party to try the 24 ingredient slaw and it did not disappoint. It was so delicious! The black cod was also divine. However we were seated near the back door and there was just so much movement in and out and hovering of servers in the corner. A server also dropped the beer we ordered on to one of my guests and they didn’t take it off our bill so I am a bit disappointed. Also, although I don’t like waiting for food, we weren’t even done our appetizers and our main meals already came out. It was a bit disturbing and we felt like we were being rushed.

    I absolutely love Lee Restaurant! The food is Amazing, the Service is impeccable and we had the pleasure of meeting the man himself, who was walking on the floor - thank you Chef Lee for stopping at our table and taking a picture with our son on his 21st birthday! This place NEVER disappoints- by far my family’s favorite restaurant in the world!!

    Whenever I have out of town guests, this is where I take them for a taste of Toronto. We always begin with the Signature Slaw and have never been disappointed. Food, service and ambience is always amazing.

    The new location is beautiful. We sat out on the terrace which was intimate and quiet. It didn't feel like we were in the midst of a busy city. Our server, was amazing, attentive and on the ball. He made our evening go by very smoothly. The Singaporean Slaw lives up to it's hype and is a must. With 24 ingredients it's an exciting experience to watch and eat. As a large party we ordered a pleathora of dishes. Although the dishes tasted great, we weren't left wishing for more of any dish. The pad thai specifically was recommended as a spicy dish, but was quite mild.

    Lee is a must-visit Toronto treasure with interesting flavours, great presentation, attentive and engaging servers. Our go-to dishes are the Singapore Slaw, Cheeseburger Spring Rolls, Asian Braised Beef and any of the dumplings...but there are lots of both exotic and 'safe' choices to explore. Certainly not cheap...but it doesn't seem either expensive or overpriced for the quality. Nor is it formal or stuffy or in any way intimidating for first time visitors. Five stars on a four star scale.
