About Lee

Lee is a well-known restaurant that offers excellent food and service. It features a new patio with a beautiful atmosphere, although traffic noise can sometimes interfere with the fine dining experience. The staff, including servers like Dalla and Erika, provide friendly and professional service. They take care to replace plates and clean tables between dishes while giving good descriptions of each meal. The food is consistently outstanding, with popular dishes such as the Singapore Style Slaw, which has a unique blend of 24 ingredients that work perfectly together. Other favorites include Burrata, Dumplings (both steamed and deep-fried), Black Cod, and Braised Ribs. The restaurant's presentation is often vibrant and colorful, with dishes like the tuna rolls that are fresh and beautifully plated, and the rolls bursting with flavor. Although some items, like the Singapore Style Slaw at $45, may seem a bit pricey, the portion sizes are generous and suitable for sharing. The ambiance, attention to detail, and the chef’s presence make each visit memorable. The chef Susur's Global Tasting Menu is truly out of this world, offering an extraordinary progression of flavours — starting with delicate fresh scallops, followed by his signature slaw, and moving through perfectly seared tuna and succulent grilled prawns. The chef graciously accommodated dietary preferences, replacing the beef course with a spectacular seafood Pad Thai, and served a clever pre-dessert as a palate cleanser. Guests often enjoy chatting with the humble and engaging chef himself. Many visitors consider Lee their go-to restaurant for special occasions, returning for signature dishes like the signature salad. The food and service are praised as unmatched, with each dish surpassing the last, and staff being the most professional experienced. Overall, Lee provides a warm vibe, vibrant presentation, friendly staff, and outstanding food, making each dining experience memorable and highly recommended.
