I was never a fan of Asian Fusion - or fusion anything. Lee, with a 4 star rating on Yelp and serving Fusion Cuisine, did not convince me enough to go in the past. But everything changed on a late Sunday night when I was starving and most restaurants in downtown were either closed, or required reservation. Lee was open, I called and the lady on the other side of the phone informed me that no reservation was required at that time.
After arriving at Lee, we realized how underdressed we were. Despite the jeans, track pants, and t-shirts, we were still warmly greated by everyone at the restaurant. Our server was so patient and friendly, even though we just wanted to order ASAP and eat.
We ordered the Rack of Lamb Thailandaise, Top Chef Curry Roasted Chicken, and the Signature Singaporean Style Slaw. I wanted to add tuna to the Slaw but our server assured us that the chicken and lamb was enough protein.
The wait for the food was reasonable since the place was fairly full with couple large parties around us. The Slaw was first served with the server mixing it up for us. Wasn't expecting much even though they emphasized the word "signature" quite a bit, I was COMPLETELY mind blown by how much I loved it. I would probably like it much more with some protein in, but I had to agree with our server about the other dishes. The Lamb was amazing too...definitely surprised me with the mintiness of the lentil sauce, but it was unique.
And onto the award winning chicken, which deserves a paragraph all to itself. Huge pieces of chicken (not talking about small nugget size), with curry that was not overpowering the taste of chicken, had a lovely sweet touch of pineapples decorated on the side, I don't know how much better the dish can get. The highlight of the dish is the tenderness of the chicken. I never thought it would be possible for such large chunks of chicken to be so tender, it was almost melting in my mouth.
Last but not least we finished our amazing dining experience with Signature French & Chinese Tong Yuen. I have to admit there was a bit too much going on with this dessert, but every single bite was something interesting and unique.
I drank quite a bit of water that night and my glass was never empty for more than a minute or two. Service here alone deserves an award.
Lee has changed my perspective on Asian Fusion. It's a place I will take friends and family who are visiting from outside of Toronto, as it so perfectly presents the Asian multi-culturalism. I will definitely be back.
