naveenJuly 28, 2011when i used to work at sony, we'd lunch here with the team: peking duck was a favorite (among other dishes). possibly some of the best chinese outside of chinatown- Douglas EllimanJuly 21, 2014A high-end Chinese eatery with traditional and classic dishes. We find this elegant and fancy setting to be absolutely wonderful! The staff is always attentive, and we love ordering the orange beef.
N. S.December 7, 2018After removing it from the menu for a few years, they are once again serving General Tso’s Chicken, which they allegedly invented. It is delicious and definitely worth a visit!
Buford BarnesJuly 6, 2022Invented General Tso's Chicken, a staple among American Chinese restaurants, in the 1970s. They brought it back after a long hiatus. This place is on the pricier and fancier end of the spectrum.
The New York TimesAugust 27, 2010Grand Marnier shrimp and pillowy mu shu make for an elegant pre-Lincoln Center meal best taken with martinis and friends.
Brian EricksonMarch 15, 2015Seems like maybe it was good in the past but was only so so. The spare ribs had no sauce. Beijing duck and grand marnier shrimp were marginal. Really expensive for mediocre food.
Chefs FeedAugust 5, 2014- Buford BarnesNovember 16, 2017Invented General Tso's Chicken, but doesn't serve it anymore due to demand becoming an annoyance.
@DaDaRocks AdamCohenJuly 22, 2012If you eat here and do not order the duck then you're a fool.... And like Mr. T says I Pity The Fool!
- Carrie HojnickiAugust 11, 2010Try the slippery chicken, there is a reason Shun Lee has been around for over 40 years.
Dan HortonAugust 24, 2013Very disappointed in the food after my wife has talked so highly of this place for years. Very oily and meat was all overlooked. I would not recommend for the price.
Dan YeoMay 28, 2015This place is not good, unless you're old, white and don't like authentic Chinese food.
Alexander SobolevOctober 24, 2014Очень вкусная китайская еда, особенно рекомендовал бы белый соус к спринг-роллам
