   Very expensive, overcooked Chinese food. Disappointed. Maybe west side is better, but haven’t been there awhile. I don’t mind a dated atmosphere..but when the food is meh..it’s just a shame.

   Always dependable. Very good. Fresh and well prepared. I do wish they had at least a small dessert menu.

   Best Chinese food in NYC and wonderful service. A bit pricey, but along with the tab you get that great ambience—low lighting, artifacts on the wall. My favorite dish, the baby eggplant, was perfection served with brown rice. The cold sesame noodles were killer. My fellow diners raved about the fried rice. Orange beef was hot and generously sized but had a bit of an off taste. Almost $300 for the three of us, but $90 of that was wine. Yeah, we’re boozers.

   We were expecting a great experience. The food was fine, but not outstanding. Very few reasonably priced wines. The service was reasonably good. The restaurant was almost empty - on a Friday night. Overall, not what we were expecting.

   Very poor experience. Cold and microwaved food. This used to be a terrific restaurant and very disappointed with quality of food and service.

    Shun Lee Palace has been one of our favorite NYC restaurants for many years. It is no longer the 'glamourous' shiney place it once was (memories sometimes fade), but it continues to offer high quality, delicious, 'expensive' Chinese cuisine which is rarely found any more. Service is always first class as are the accoutrements ie quality white tablecloths and silver and a fresh rose on every table. The decor is a bit faded from its previous glamour and they no longer offer the unique and delicious desserts, but we will continue to return due to the consistent quality and amazing menu and a desire to please their customers.
