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.

    Food was very enjoyable for the most part although I was disappointed with scallops - would not be ordering that again. Service was a bit too fast - we finished eating in a little over an hour although 2 hours is what the restaurant allowed. It would be better to enjoy each dish without being rushed. Next time I think I would ask for slower pace but I will divinely be back.

    Great restaurant by an amazing chef. The Singapore slaw and the black cod were by far the best.

    Greetings when arriving was excellent and the food was exceptional. Not sure why our entrees came before we were finished our appetizers. Felt a little rushed. A glass was broken while being served entree. The entree was replaced - very quick to accommodate but it would have been nice to be offered a drink or something to make up for the wait time of the replacement entree. Our group of 5 waited so that we could dine together. Understandably - accidents always happen and was quickly taken care of. Other than this incident we thoroughly enjoyed our evening. Definitely the signature Tower slaw is a must - fresh and perfect for the beginning of the meal! Thank you Yona for all your conversation and suggestions!

    When I first experienced Susur Lee’s cooking at Lotus in the late ’80s and early ’90s, it was nothing short of a revelation. When he opened Susur, the quality remained exceptional, particularly in the early days. However, my visit to Lee yesterday told a very different story. While the service and atmosphere were polished and professional, the food fell flat. To make matters worse, there was a hair in my wife’s dish—a definite low point. The BBQ duck was another disappointment, with the duck breast oddly tough and inedible. When the server cheerfully asked, “I hope the food was as good as the service,” I couldn’t help but think, “I wish.” It’s disheartening to witness the decline of brilliance into mere professionalism, and from there into something that feels more corporate—where the food no longer takes center stage. It’s a shame to see such extraordinary talent drift away.

    Thank you for another great night team 💗 my guests were very impressed as usual. Gary’s pick for the obscure sparkling wine was perfect for me and your wine list is truly one of the best in the city 🥂 see you next time 🥰
