It's a Terminal 1 ritual to grab dim sum at Lee Kitchen. Har gow above average, very tasty chicken sui mai and those little crispy shrimp wonton. Only reason why they don't get 5 stars is no chili oil!!!??? Can't have dim sum without chili oil cmon Susur!!! read more

Had a 6 hour layover in Toronto, so I thought I'd try a restaurant that Dallas doesn't have. The advertised photograph of the beef udon soup is what caught my eye, but then when I saw the neighboring table get theirs it looked a lot different (blander if you will). I asked if it was worth ordering, but the consensus was that it was only O.K & for this being a place a well renowned chef opened you'd think the flavors would be more bold/full-bodied. I don't like wasting money, so I chose to get their sampler and a side of fries. I still wasted money because the fries were the best thing I ordered. If you have a long layover & have time to venture to other areas, then you'd be better off going elsewhere. read more

Had the dim sum sampling platter with 2 of each: shumai, vegetable dumpling, beef dumpling, har gow ($24 in December 2023) The dim sum was okay in general, but pretty good by airport food standards (especially at YYZ). The dim sum was not particularly good or tasty but Lee Kitchen provides various condiments to add some flavour. Outside the airport, I don't think this would be worth getting, but even mediocre dim sum is better than most other airport food. Space was comfortable and there was good service. 3+ stars -- if you're stuck at the airport & needing food, it's a fine option. read more

Establishment is busy and clean. Staff was professional and courteous. This is an airport restaurant. I ordered the pad thai with chicken and shrimp. It is filling and decent, but not what I would consider authentic pad thai. TLDR: Excellent service, decent food, okay establishment, okay value. Would recommend! read more

Service was a l slow as there was only one server for a very big section, but for airport food the menu was interesting and delicious, quality of food was good, and everything tasted pretty good. All of our meals came out at really different times and the res was a little tightly packed and hard to move around. Overall food tasted good, but it's still airport food and the service quality was the main reason for the three stars. read more

Lee Kitchen - Vegan Bowl - Asian Fusion Near Me - Mississauga, Ontario

I was excited to try Lee's restaurant when I was at Pearson International departures terminal. However, I'm a little disappointed, I thought it may be a bit more elevated Asian cuisine but it seems kinda basic. I mean c'mon I should've known it is airport food... You won't find any Singaporean Slaw like you'll find in his regular restaurant in Toronto. Don't get me wrong, it tasted okay. The tasting platter was ok and the vegan bowl was a good choice as I know I'll be indulging along the rest of my trip. It definitely seems more catered for the Western palate and preferences. read more

The terminal was a bit hectic when I landed and given I had ample time, I opted for a sit down vibe. There was a bit of a wait when I got in and was seated at the bar. Service was overwhelmed but nice to everyone. I ordered the shrimp wonton udon that came with pieces of beef (which I could have done without). The beef and broth didn't have much flavor, but the wontons were flavorful and cooked perfectly. It's fine for a bite if you have some time. Note it is on the pricer side of options since it's a sit down. read more

Sitting ambience is ok, there's not enough AC inside. There's a bar on the side and steam dim sum is near the front entrance. Cooking is from the back kitchen which the food came out a bit slow. Service was nice. Our server Bryan was friendly and thoughtful. He gave us bowls and plates for food sharing without us prompting. He deserved 4 star. The food on the other hand was at best 3 star, which drags down the overall rating. The won ton udon soup had a bit of bacon to add in the flavor to the broth, which is good, but the won ton couldn't hold itself firmly and was easily broken apart. The beef slices were just dumped into the broth without breaking them up. The seafood red curry had a lot of vegetables which I like, but on the other hand, I didn't pay 26 CAD just for veggie. The rice was weird, it looked normal but tasted like broken rice. Friend said that was over night rice. Definitely not the best Asian food I had. read more

Terrible all round. Got ignored the entire time when the waitress to table ratio is almost 1:2. Their altitude is also unbelievable. I can clearly see the guest in the next table was also pissed off. Food tasted really bad too. Sandwich tasted nothing but mustard. Fries has zero crispiness. read more

While my food looked good it was under seasoned. Service was unfortunately terrible, I'm sure they may be short staffed but it was one of the worst services I've experienced in a long time. The waiter essentially threw the menu at me and never made rounds to check in to make sure the food was okay. The menu online was outdated so I was very disappointed to see some items I wanted to try gone. Not comparable to Lee downtown at all. read more

We came on a Saturday afternoon. It was pretty busy but we got sat right away. There was a little bit of a wait for the server to come to our table. The server was nice, took our order and brought our food. The restaurant is casual/nicer than many in the terminal. The strawberry lemonade was delish - 10/10. Not too sweet and refreshing The Pad Thai - not bad but not really great. It felt expensive for what it was. ($28 with the chicken added). I would get a different meal next time. As we were leaving there was a long line of people waiting to get in! read more

worst food literally ever was so hungry and couldn't even eat it. Sent it back asking if the food normally tasted this way and they said yes didn't offer any sort of compensation and was charged full price LIKE BRUH pls pls don't eat here is was ass read more

Food seemed frozen and it kept breaking apart whenever we tried to grab it with our chop sticks. I would not come here. It is simply not worth the price. I would rather eat Trader Joe's frozen food at home. The burger place across was better. This place seems like a soul-less cash grab. You would think the iron chef would care more about his name. Also why the hell was there no chili oil. read more

I don't know why Susur Lee is associated with this airport restaurant... I came here around 7am for breakfast. I was told they don't serve dim sum until 10am. I had a classic breakfast ($18) which tasted worse than those complimentary breakfast at hotels. The eggs were dry and no flavour. The sausages were soft and also dry. The fries were average and the only thing I actually ate. read more

My wife didn't want Asian food, but the presence of some non-Asian items on the menu swayed her. She got the teriyaki grilled chicken sandwich, which looked bigger when it came out 5 minutes after we ordered. The bun may have been steamed...it "deflated" after we picked it up. Not bad, but not full of flavor, either. It came with a very mild "spicy" mayo that helped. The fries were thick and had a nice crisp to the exterior. Good stuff. The shrimp dumplings each had one massive shrimp, with a rubbery wrapper around it. The wrapper gets rubbery when it's steamed, cooled, then reheated. It's inevitable that this sort of thing happens at an airport restaurant: people have planes to catch, after all. Soaking it in soy sauce, however, helped. But, the unfortunate thing is that they have those steamers going, which seems cool at first...until you realize the heat from the steamers is heating up the restaurant. I thought the A/C was failing, but it was those damn steamers. Not cool...literally. The food here isn't straight from the streets of Hong Kong, but it's not bad. The prices are also "airport reasonable": this food with 2 drinks cost about $60 US with a tip. We ate at the bar, and service was good. My wife didn't like the Moscow Mule, which was basically a copper mug of ginger beer, and the bartender happily replaced it with a strong mimosa. The overall experience was good enough that we'll be back if we're in this terminal at YYZ again. But, we'll look for a seat as far from those steamers as possible. read more

The menu is varied. Prices are typical of airport restaurants. enjoyed the French accent of my server who was pleasant and attentive. After sitting down, I checked in and saw the low scores. Well, I ordered the vegetable legumes in a bowl. Although it liked good, it lacked any seasoning and had no flavor. Other than being a hot bowl of veggies, there was not much there. Okay, lesson learned the hard way. I needed something to eat and took a chance after perusing the other options in Terminal 1 (E gates). My advicce, don't make the and mistake that I did. Although your selections in Terminal 1 @ the E gates is limited, try something else. read more

meh. pass. food is bland. Burger dry and overcooked. false advertising breakfast all day and bacon burger. neither on the menu. if you ask they will give you one specific breakfast option. we ate burgers and udon noodles. neither very good. fries were ok. shrimp wonton ok. beer was good. service was mostly good. understaffed but nice servers who are polite and trying to hustle. management seems to blame. if you want a burger do the custom burger place next door read more

Unfortunately the burger and fries were tasteless and bland the burger over cooked even though I asked for medium rare and the portions were ridiculous with the pricing. The server was pretty fast and easy going but I have no idea what was going on in the kitchen. The place is pretty quiet for an airport restaurant but it's tight and uncomfortable. read more

On a 3-hour layover and so my hubby and I decided to try this restaurant named after Iron Chef Susur Lee in Toronto Pearson. The soup I ordered was very savory and had enough shrimp wantons in it. 4 stars rated due to the broth was only warm, and not at least 135 degrees Fahrenheit for sure. (I do not have a food thermometer with me at the moment but trust me about food safety. :)) The dining room, bar, and dim-sum areas are clean. The service was also decent. read more

We were looking for a sit down restaurant to get lunch and came across this place. The menu wasn't huge but had a plenty of options to choose from. Getting a table took only a min and a few moments later we ordered food. The mango salad looked perfect and was very tasty, however, chicken skewers were lukewarm. The dumpling platter was ok - some pieces looked like they fell apart and the taste was ok. Can't say the food was prepared quickly but it didn't take forever either. On the other hand, our server was very nice and attentive. It's not the cheapest place to eat and I expected a bit better quality/faster delivery for the money but given it's an airport restaurant I'd say it's fine. read more

The food was not good. The pork belly sandwich (which could be good) was all fat, no meat. The chicken sandwich was blah. Who puts the thinner tough onion skin in a burger?? The fries were greasy. I have had Susur Lee food. This was not it. I I got more satisfaction from the granola bar I ate after the meal. Did the waiter ask how the Mel was after? No. He probably saw the chunk of uneaten fat on my plate. BTW. The restaurant was very quiet. No excuse there. read more

Pleased to find this place had veggie broth for their noodle soup. Vegans and vegetarians rejoice! Soup comes loaded with spinach, mushrooms, edamame, carrots, cabbage and snow peas. Loved the fresh ingredients but the broth could've been a bit more flavorful (needs a little salt and chili garlic, maybe some soy sauce if that's your inclination). I went with a dash of Siracha and everything was good. So happy to break out of the fast food and sandwich routine of this weekend's travel! Service was great (thanks Daniel and appreciate the recommendation on the local beer). Note that outside the airport, I might be tempted to give this place a three (for the broth). Inside airport, a solid four. Check it out if your looking for a break from burgers, fries, sandwiches and the like. read more

I was waiting for my flight a few gates away and stopped to eat. One of the waiters there led us to eat on the ledge outside, and looked quite defeated when we said we wanted to eat inside. The food was probably the worst Asian food I've had in my life. The beef in the beef udon looked like a huge block of mystery meat, the noodles fell apart to the touch, and the soup was so oily I couldn't drink it after I was done. Probably will never come again read more

Disclaimer: Stopped by during a layover because of Priority Pass- meal was free I'm actually really surprised at how low the ratings are here. For airport food, it's one of the better meals I've had. However, the prices did seem very high for what it was ($10 for dim sum)?! I got the seafood red curry, shrimp har gow, and siu mai. Seafood red curry: was good, with more seafood than I anticipated from reading reviews. Lots of veggies and generous portion size. Siu Mai: had a weird lemon flavor, but overall the texture was comparable to what'd you find at dim sum places elsewhere. Har Gow: this was the lowlight of the meal. It ate a bit gummy and the texture was off. If you have priority pass and end up going here, I don't think you'll be too disappointed with the above items. Then again, I don't think airport food was intended to blow your mind, so keep your expectations low. read more

Really wish I checked the reviews before dining here. Not worth the money or time at all. Decided to eat here because they had vegetarian options. I got the veg dumplings & my daughter got the veg spring rolls. They weren't horrible but they weren't good by any means. I've had WAY better from the frozen section at Trader Joe's. I know this is airport food but Chef Lee should NOT be proud to have his name on this restaurant. Even the water was disgusting! Spare yourself & eat elsewhere. read more

Pleasantly surprised with this place for airport food. Came here during a really long layover. I ordered the Chicken Teriyaki sandwich - had a nice flavor to it and it came with fries. Nothing to write home about but both were pretty good. Prices are in line with what you would expect for the airport, although I do think the portions could be a little bigger. Our server seemed a little overwhelmed but was friendly and responsive whenever we would ask for something. read more

Either Susur Lee has turned into a line cook recipe-wise or he just lent his name to this place and nothing else. What a disappointment! I got the Susur Lee feature of the day: a burger with creamed spinach, mushrooms and grilled onions. The burger was slightly overcooked and not juicy at all, the buns were overly big and tasteless, the creamed spinach was nice but there wasn't enough of it (just a light spread on one side of the bun), the mushrooms and onions were standard. I think the only good thing about the burger was the sprinkling of cheese (think it was parmigiano) which added the bite/taste that the burger was sorely lacking. And to top it all of, this cost $20+! Definite pass on Lee's Kitchen. read more

Visited Lee Kitchen for a solo dinner before boarding my flight to Paris. Ordered the salmon main and also a glass of sparkling VQA wine. The wine was delicious, very bubbly and not flat at all (this can happen sometimes!). The salmon arrived fairly quickly and was cooked perfectly. The side accompaniments weren't super flavourful but overall I enjoyed the dish. Wish they would have served the fish with some citrus to brighten the flavours perhaps. The service wasn't overly friendly but was efficient enough. Might return again if in the International departures area of Pearson. read more

All things considered, Lee's Kitchen is passable for airport fare and may possibly be the best option in that terminal - at least when it comes to Asian food. In an attempt to satisfy my Asian food craving before the inevitable "drought" in Costa Rica, I immediately went for the dim sum sampler platter. This consists of two pork buns, har gow (shrimp dumplings), shrimp shu mai, and what tasted like a pork or beef based shumai. All this for $21 Canadian - not really the best bang for your buck, but this is the airport. While the har gow was surprisingly plump and wrapped in a nice skin, I could not help but get the impression that everything was either overheated or over-steamed. Both baos, while laudable for their attempts at the sweet pork filling, were essentially soggy - the shu mai fared no better, the filling busting through the heat weakened wonton wrapper. Service was also incredibly slow and the food took almost 30 minutes to arrive, mind you this is ONLY for the dim sum platter. If I have an extensive layover in this airport again, I would probably just stick with the Tim Horton's. read more

In my experience, the place wasn't as bad as others have reviewed it. Sure, it's overpriced - but that's an airport for ya! Can't expect anything less. My friend ordered the general tsos chicken. He said it was average, nothing special. I ordered the bacon cheeseburger. I thought it was pretty good! Fries were good and seasoned - definitely not bland food as others have experienced here. Came with ketchup and spicy mayo on the side. Service was fast and friendly. Didn't find the place dirty at all. Floor could use a replacing though. Maybe that's what people are referring to? read more

We stopped here on a 2.5 hr layover with my wife after getting my priority pass rejected at the lounge. The server Daniel was excellent. We shared an order of pad Thai (fantastic, chicken udon (nice and delicately flavored), and the dumpling sampler (so-so). I loved that this place accepted priority pass to my surprise, and we were pleasantly surprised that the portions were very generous. You could do far worse for Asian food in an airport. If this place was located near home I'd go probably once a month for the pad Thai alone. Give it a shot. We were happy to have stumbled over on our passing through YYZ read more
