Best Chinese in NYC
Always fast and courteous service. The food is impeccably prepared and flavored just right. I always take out of town guests there and they are amazed.

Best Crispy Peaking Duck!
The Peaking Duck is so delicious! They come prepare the duck at your table. Although this place is expensive, it is a good restaurant to go to on occasion! I have not gotten anything I dislike from here. Can't wait to go back!

disappoining
Appetizers: The dumplings were fine, the cucumber salad, tough, but edible. Entrees: Chicken w/chef's special sauce, completely ordinary, but served hot. XO Chicken tasted like KFC, and crispy scallops, flat, soggy and ordinary taste. Service and ambience very nice. Don't know what the big deal about this place is. Over priced, ordinary, American Chinese. Maybe they are catering to older clients in the neighborhood.

Overpriced - how does this place exist?
Went there for dinner last night with a large group. Saw the prices on the dinner menu ($28 for orange beef?!?) and expected it to be family style. IE, one dish services 2-3 people. If we would get 8 dishes it should be plenty for 15 people. Turns out the dishes are all individual entrees. This is not a four star Frank Bruni chinese restaurant. I could understand $30 individual entrees if it was. It's a regular chinese restaurant in midtown, extremely overpriced. The food was decent but I can get orange beef for 5.50 from my local hole in the wall chinese place and it's just as good, if not better. I don't understand how this place exists. I would not recommend it at these prices.

Expensive but Mediocre at Best
Average Chinese food at expensive prices. Staff was definitely attentive, however.

Yummy but expensive
Never eaten here but live around the corner and get delivery all the time. Food is outstanding. The chicken is all white meat (nothing sketchy), tender and well done. I've had the chicken soong lettuce wraps, lemon chicken balls, veggie spring roll, pan fried dumplings, lo mein, fried sesame chicken - all excellent. Too bad it costs a small fortune. It's like a starbucks or pinkberry addiction that you need to eventually quit for the sake of your budget.... and your health.

Tacky Decor, Poor Service, Average Food
What a disappointing experience. Shun Lee Palace was over half empty the night we visited for the first (and last) time - it was not a busy night. Still, we were given the table next to the front door and adjacent to a noisy waiter station. I very politely complained about the table, and they refused to move us. We were dressed more properly than 90 percent of the other people in the restaurant and we were respectful of the staff in every way, yet we still had the poorest table and service in the restaurant. Waiters did not refill our tea or water, and we had to hunt down a manager to finally get a check when it was time to leave. The decor was tacky and the food was strictly average. This was a crime given the premium pricing of the restaurant. There are other high-end Chinese restaurants with perfect service and spectacular food in the neighborhood - one is only a few blocks away from Shun Lee Palace, and that's where we will be going next time. We won't be back here again.
