    This was my first time at Shun Lee and they did not disappoint. Myself and 7 friends got a table for my birthday on a Saturday evening. Everyone enjoyed their meal and drinks. I can definitely recommend the bang bang shrimp, and the Young Chow fried rice.

    Second time here equalled the first great experience. Same server , Eric , was a bonus. He’s a true asset. Food was presented nicely and served at correct temperature . Well paced service, attentive but not intrusive. One of my new favorite Chinese Restaurants.

    The BQ Ribs are a great appetizer, the meat was tender and plentiful also had enough sauce on them. Most other restaurants over cook them and they are though. The Branzino was good but not what I was expecting. I’m use to the Branzino done Florida style. They made a chicken chow mein plate that was delicious! Lots of. Chicken and veggies. I also enjoyed the sweet and sour chicken, always a good staple. The restaurants decor inside was very nice. I like the Kentucky horse vibe.

    We have been frequent visitors to Shun Lee since it opened in February and have always been impressed by the food and service. The atmosphere is beautiful while not being stuffy. The service is great, specifically, Eric. He has been our server for many of our visits. Eric is attentive but doesn't hover, allowing us to enjoy our meals. It is by far the best Chinese food in Lexington!
