Overpriced for the amount of food!
I went to this place once and it was pretty good. I was able to bring my own bottle. Now you must buy your drinks. The food quality is ok, but the portions are very small. It is very overpriced you can get much better.

Not recommended
Based on ratings was hoping to find a good Chinese place in uws. The gen. Taos batter was soggy and not cooked and no flavor. I asked that the Hunan chicken be extra spicy and it came with absolutely no spice or flavor. Had to throw it all out.

good takeout
so its good, not amazing, but for someone who has looked for good chinese takeout on the upper west for 2 years this is as good as it gets. my biggest criteria is not to have sketchy (i.e., slimy) chicken and this place doesnt which is huge!

Solid Chinese
I have found some dishes to be better than others, but overall a solid UWS chinese restaurant.

Worst Chinese food on Upper Westside
We ere anxious to try this restaurant because we like spicy, flavorful food. As soon as the Hot & Sour soup arrived with no pork, no mushrooms, no pickles......just liquid with some egg white and tofu...we knew there was a problem. Lamb with Ginger, unbearably salty and greasy as was Pork and Squid Family Style. Here, family style means no pork, no squid, no care in preparation, just lots of hot pepper. Do yourself a favor, eat elsewhere.

Very Good
Shun Lee it is not but this is better than most usual Chinese spots. The ingredients, especially the spices are so fresh. Spicy food here is spicy. They use fresh peppercorns which one needs to get used to. The food is very good.

Nothing Grand
Really wanted to love this place. Have tried it 6 or 7 times the past several months and have been completely let down each time. These dishes lack the complexity and depth of flavor I love in authentic Sichuan cooking. Having eaten the real thing in China, have also found great spots in NYC for this type of food. Sadly this is not one of them. Not helping their case of a neighborhood dining gem is their hurried, disinterested, clumsy, extremely poor service. I've spent my last dollar at this place. No more.
