This Chinese restaurant, focusing on duck dishes, just soft-opened downtown on 2025-07-11. Their…read morefirst location opened in North York about 6 months prior. This place is great if you want good Oeik8ng Duck without having to pay $100 for it. As such, for $20, you get enough for one person, which is great for a fast meal downtown. We went there for a late-night snack Fri around 21:00; they close at 22:00. We ordered the following: 1. Quarter Roast Duck & Samyang Spicy Noodles Combo ($19.99). 2. Popcorn Duck ($8.99). The Quarter Roast Duck is like having 25% of a Peking Duck; their whole Peking Duck costs $68.88. It comes with 9 wraps (they call them duck pancake) (as per Peking Duck dinners), toppings (cucumber, scallions, hawthorn fruit slices), and duck sauce. The duck sauce is made in-house. They actually sell each of the accompanying items separately if you want more! The combo is considered a value meal, which comes with Samyang Spicy Noodles and a drink/pop. The duck pieces were juicy and tasted good. The duck skins were thin, crispy, and not lined with fat. We asked for the noodles (South Korean instant ramen noodles) to be as mild as possible but the spice was already in the noodles so it came out medium spicy. I don't dare try their regular spice level! The Popcorn Duck is an interesting take on Popcorn Chicken. It was quite good. It comes with a dipping sauce. The customer service was good. The chef has been making Peking Duck for at least 15 years. Interestingly, they can 3D-print a sugar candy figure. You choose a figure from a menu (sorry, I forgot to take a photo of that menu). We chose a dragon. It was printed from sugar candy onto a stick, and takes about 1 min to complete! They are so cute! Note: You get 10% off if you pay by cash. All their dishes can be easily covered for takeout or left overs. We had some of the Popcorn Duck and Samyang Spicy Noodles so they simply put a lid on it. The lid has a hole to let any steam out. The hole happens to be the right size to hold the stick with the 3D printed figure, if you so wish. Ingenious setup to use specialize lids to save time! There is one item called The Box ($228), which is a BOGO Peking Duck. You get a whole Peking Duck and with Duck Sushi in an Oriental box that opens with drawers! Very ornate. When you eat in, they give you another whole Peking Duck ($68.88) along with The Box. You you order for takeout, you actually get to bring the box with you (on loan). When you bring back the box, you get the whole Peking Duck; if you don't bring back the box, you forfeit the whole Peking Duck ($68.88). Such a unique concept! They gave us each a water cup with a lid and reusable straw. They are giving these out to some guests during their soft-opening period. There is no free WiFi. The restaurant is not wheelchair accessible. There is paid neighbourhood street parking. Review 2025-144

Here, they have the option of quarter duck, half duck or whole duck. All comes with a generous amount of wraps and garnishes. The spicy noodles were unnecessary but came with the combo. Duck wrap had minimal duck. You can add $2 to get the duck frame which is mainly bones from after they cut off all the meat. They fry it with their special spices making it great to pair with a beer.

I ordered the udon carbonara. It was tasty, but a little too heavy on the bacon. (If you visit D.C., Perry's has an excellent one.) 2) Drinks: The menu has it all, but focuses on sake. They have sake sangria, which was refreshing, sake bombs, and flavored sake. They also have mocktails for the kids that come in a cat cup. 3) Service: Our server was amazing!

Lee is the one restaurant I look forward to every Summerlicious…read more One reason is that every year they create a completely new menu instead of reusing dishes from their regular menu. As an Asian fusion restaurant, I always come curious to see what new ideas the chef has come up with. The last two Summerlicious menus disappointed me a little--they felt a bit uninspired, with dishes like the vegetable curry and croquette. This year, however, the creativity is back, and I'd happily recommend Lee's Summerlicious menu again. Fried Wild Cod The crispy cod is served in an edible crispy rice basket, making it feel like sharing bread at the start of the meal. The fish is fried perfectly with a crisp exterior and moist, flaky interior. Paired with Thai sweet chili sauce, it's light, flavorful, and great for sharing. Gazpacho Picante A refreshing take on gazpacho. The avocado gives it a smoother texture, while the hint of spice adds another layer without overpowering the chilled tomato soup. Refreshing and a great appetizer. BBQ Jerk Pork Ribs Three generous ribs--almost a main course on their own. The meat is tender while still retaining a bit of bite, similar to the texture of slow-cooked jerk chicken. The jerk seasoning is excellent, coating every bite with rich, aromatic spices. Pan Roasted Salmon The salmon is beautifully cooked with a nicely caramelized exterior while remaining juicy inside. Each accompaniment brings something different: the olive tapenade is deeply savory, the parsnip purée is smooth and slightly sweet, the lima bean adds a creamy, nutty richness, and the lemon-tomato-pepper vinaigrette brightens everything with acidity and a gentle kick. Lima Bean Succotash Probably the prettiest dish on the menu--and also the most unusual. The lima beans and peas are cooked until tender without becoming mushy. The flavors are layered, but there's a subtle bitterness throughout. After asking the chef, we learned it's the natural flavor of lima beans and was intentionally preserved as part of the dish. Fried Organic Chicken The fried chicken is juicy and tender, reminding me of Japanese karaage. It comes with two fun sauces: one is rich and spicy with a hint of coconut, while the other is a sweet pineapple-lime mayo that pairs surprisingly well with the chicken. The pandan rice, however, was fairly ordinary. The desserts are still classic Lee--beautifully plated, but the flavors are more restrained. We tried the Rhubarb Almond Frangipane Tart, Lemon Mousse Panna Cotta (our favorite), and Strawberry Raspberry Monkey Bread. This year's Summerlicious reminded me why I fell in love with Lee in the first place.

I also highly recommend the wine paring they suggest having with the salad :) Everything else on the menu was done really well.

This place is more of a takeout kind of spot - but there are 1-2 small tables available for anyone waiting or wanting to dine in.

Food This spot does a lot of classic HK dishes - whether it's snacks or main that's perfect on the go. They recently have a collab with @siupaidon to bring more bold, nostalgic flavours. What I recommend: - Fish Fillet in Rose Sauce - Curry Fish Balls & Berkshire Pork Skin - Mala Spicy Chicken Rice They're all made on the spot and it really has a lot of strong and good flavour. Curry fish balls is my all time favourite, so I'm glad I have another new spot to get it whenever I'm craving it.

It went so well with the freshness mint chutney as well, but great just by itself. I wonder if a Naan would have paired well with it. Ajmeri biryani was again different and a new variation of Biryani( out of so many) that I tried. It was again delicious and had a mix of flavors to it, maybe even a hint of fried rice of some kind to it to as well. Loved the presentation. Second visit called for the Indo-Chinese Hakka cuisine. Chicken wings were flavorful with really good texture. Chicken munchurian was as good as I remembered it from my childhood experience. Chicken szechuan noodles was just what I expected it to be with the flavor as well. Both of them paired nicely. The first visit service was really good, but it suffered to a 2 stars during the next visit. No one stopped by to pick up the menu, bring plates, pick up the used appetizer plates and drinks cups to make space for the entrée on a small table. They left the food on the next table for us. Someone who was not attending our table finally refilled the water (with was nice), but it was such a strange experience with service, quite different from the previous visit. That's the only reason for 4 stars. Also Masala Chai was good, but not at par with the food and it wasn't as hot.
