Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Susur Lee

From the OpenTable editors: The new Waterworks building location for chef Susur Lee’s King West icon mirrors his menu’s old-new balancing act, pairing vintage and contemporary decor. Faithfuls like Lee’s legendary cheeseburger spring roll and Singapore-style slaw share menu space with newer dishes that showcase Lee’s expert French-Asian cooking skills.

    Wonderful experience, the entire staff was extremely friendly and attentive. The tasting menu was very cohesive and big portion sizes. This was our second time having the tasting menu and we would repeat again.

    We were welcomed warmly, and they were able to give us a table instead of the reserved bar area which we appreciated. Our server, Shane was fantastic. We ordered just the right number of dishes and everything was delicious. The only disappointment was the macchiato which was a double and it overflowed the cup. Also, it wasn’t hot and looked poorly, coffee spilling over into the saucer. Shane dealt with it professionally and brought a new one - which was perfect. We were surprised how it was charged on our bill - broken down and itemized. All the wait staff were excellent. The ambiance is great but it was extremely loud. My dinner companion and I had to shout to be heard. Of course the Slaw met our expectations! I would definitely come back but hope the noise level could be dealt with.

    We were regular customers at old location but first timers at this new one . Ambience and location is beautiful and big .Customer service is lacking . We felt very rushed and being forced to place our order and were interrupted many times during our 2 hours of dinner time . Our server kept pushing us to order and kept reminding us to vacate table by 9 pm over and over we were told the same thing. We didn’t enjoy the experience and around 830 when we wanted to order dessert they refused to take an order as their cut off time to place an order for dessert was not enough ! So we didn’t order dessert . The bill was handed promptly and we were out by 845 pm Not the experience we were looking for . .. I understand holiday season is starting but this isn’t the way we would like a restaurant dinner to turn out on an evening out . It’s disappointing considering the older location had excellent customer service .

    Such an outstanding experience. I had not been to Lee since they moved to Richmond Street. I was a huge fan of Susur and the total dining experience I always had at King Street and this experience surpassed my expectations and I am in love with the restaurant decor, the staff and of course the food was out of this world.

    My third dinner at a Chef Lee restaurant. The Slaw continues to be sublime. Wasn't so enamoured with the Spring Rolls or Chicken curry... but Asian Beef rescued the meal. Best in a group of 4-6 so you can taste more dishes.
