Lee Kitchen

Dim sum is delicious here, especially the steam beef dumpling! Better than any place I had in New Jersey!

Good honest food and great service. Wasn’t very busy in the resto on a Saturday at Pearson International gate. Had grilled cod with leak and potato creamy mash. The mash was warm not just quote hot enough, but the fish was hot and juicy with a perfect seasoning; delicious! I went with the Vanilla cake with melted chocolate, whipped cream and berry compote for dessert and it was just a perfect size to finish the meal. This is really the place to go eat if you have time before boarding your flight! I will come back for sure!

Great Service! Bo did a wonderful job going over the menu with me, and making me feel well taken care of after a long flight.

Waited 5 minutes to be seated, was told to seat ourselves. Waited 5 minutes to be greeted and get a menu. Stood up and got the menu myself. Waited 10 more minutes to have our order taken, nothing. Stood up and left. I’d rather fly on an empty stomach then try this place again.

As above. Stay away.
The servers must be angry or something. The person greeted us grunted and never even look at us (should’ve been the first hint)
Our server seems also only communicate in short, terse, angry words. I ordered 3 kids menu item that actually had 2 further options. Waiter didn’t even blink. When i find out 5 minute later. He just told me he picked for me. It’s like he couldn’t even bother grunting me a heads up.
These guys seems to really hate working here. It’s pretty disappointing. The concept is good. Implementation… I prob should’ve stuck with a burger. At least they wouldn’t make me feel like Obama at Putin’s house party.

Stay away. From the food to the service, it was a thoroughly disappointing experience to put it mildly.
Service: I counted maybe 10 patrons at the restaurant and with two servers we waited over ten minutes for a menu and to order. This was just the start of the horrible service. When asking another server while ours was busy we received a rude, condescending response, bashing the other server in the process. When the food arrived our order was wrong and we ordered just two items. Lastly half the tables were still dirty and had half eaten meals still sitting around for the duration of our meal.
Food: Terribly average food. Yes if you’re looking for dim sum at the airport it’s a nice novelty but it’s average dim sum at best and for something to have Susur Lee’s name on it I expected much more. The grapes were unwashed and the potatoes underseasoned. I won’t say it was overpriced because let’s be honest what isn’t at an airport, but for $ 7 – 9 a plate of dim sum a lot was left to be desired.
Overall, there are many other alternatives I would suggest you try. If you’re in a rush to catch a flight don’t even think about it. I’m surprised Susur let the quality of an establishment with his name on the line sink this low as this is a chance for international travelers to try his cuisine.

Normally food at the airport in Toronto is very poor quality but this time I was pleasantly surprised with the food at Lee’s Kitchen in terminal 1. I had some dim sum, specifically steamed dumplings which were very good and not too salty. This particular location was a Casey’s until Susur Lee revamped the menu. It is not just Asian food but western comfort food with a slight Asian twist. Definitely superior to average airport food.
