A family kitchen on Lonsdale, cooking the Chinese-Canadian dishes the North Shore grew up on.
About Chilli Lee
Chilli Lee opened on Lonsdale Avenue in 2010 with a simple idea: serve the Cantonese and Szechuan dishes we grew up loving, made with care and without shortcuts. Over a decade later, we are still here — same address, same chef in the kitchen.
What we cook
Classic Cantonese chow mein (soft and crispy), fried rice, congee, egg foo yong, and family-style combos — alongside Szechuan favourites, hot pot, and our chef’s specials. Whether it is a quick weekday lunch, a family dinner, or a catering order for fifty, we cook every dish like it is going to someone we know.
Our kitchen
Our chef has cooked across China, Taiwan, and Canada for over twenty years. We source local where we can, and we don’t cut corners on the ingredients that matter — the soy sauces, the Sichuan peppercorns, the dried chillies, the vinegars.
What we believe
- Heat should have flavour, not just burn.
- Service should feel like family.
- Tradition matters. The recipes are old for a reason.
