DESCRIPTION:
Shun Lee has proven to be one of the top restaurants in New York. Just look at what people have said:
"Shun Lee Palace proves that more expensive sometimes really is better. At the same time, it gives the lie to the widely held but incorrect belief that only in Chinatown or in Queens can one get "authentic" Chinese cuisine, and then only when served by a wait staff that speaks no more than five words of English. Shun Lee is both haute-bourgeois ritzy and rice-paddy authentic, and it continues to satisfy the senses in an atmosphere that is as elegant as Gong Li. The main dining room wears serenely a makeover by designer Adam Tihany. Restaurateur Michael Tong's attentive and helpful staff makes Chinese food pleasantly interactive for a change. And then there is the food itself. You can get all the old standbys as well as sweetbreads with black mushrooms and ragoût of oxtail and pig knuckles. The presentation and carving of the Peking duck is exciting high-speed t'ai chi with a meat cleaver." --New York Magazine
