Thanks. Do you happen to know if the actual restaurant Shun Lee West serves the same food as the Cafe. I’ve read that the cafe is less expensive...but other than that I’m not sure what the difference is.

Yeah, try Mr.K’s. Its a little less dated then Shun Lee, in food and decor. But make sure you bring lot’s-O-money ....you will surely need it!

, is mostly northern Chinese food with a few Muslim inflections: lots of lamb; grilled meats; elaborate flatbreads. (The best of them, Tung Lai Shun, was a popular restaurant in Beijing for more than a century before it moved to...

I’ll be returning to Shun Lee Palace next week after a long absense. I was wondering if anyone has tried the Beggar’s Chicken or any other special dishes that have to be ordered in advance. My recollection of the...

dumplings – 10 for $4.50 plus a plate of scallion bread made the meal. $20 including tip. This place has zero ambiance – also has a B rating but the rest room was spotless, the service almost lightning fast and the...

(santoku) it seemed there was a very small gap which could trap food and lead to unsanitary conditions. In general – the Shun seems to me to be more about form than function while the Wusthoff’s have NAILED form and...

A friend of mine has been telling me about Shun Lee West and the Shun Lee Cafe for years...about two years ago i tried the Eastside Shun Lee and was appalled: by the mediocre overly sweet food, the snotty service, and the general...

I don’t know whether this is old news or not. Tai Lung Shun, the Chinese Islamic place in the Great Mall of China is closed. After a visit to the Hsi Lai Temple, wife and I went there last night with W-side Innocent friend....

am correct to consider the a boning knife or should I consider a flexible fillet knife or maybe even an yanagiba? I went to Williams-Sonoma to test-hold the a Wusthof Classic boning knife and a slightly smaller Shun Classic...

IMHO, it’s high quality gussied up Chinese food; not that different from what you’d be served in some of the more expensive Hong Kong hotels for instance. We can debate the authenticity of such cuisine, but for those...

A few days ago I went to Shun Lee Café (on the West Side) for the first time with some of my family. The place was insanely busy, and we were lucky to get a table without reservations, and in fact the group behind us who came in...

a coronary as our seats were up in the 4th tier. Such a rip off! Now, I don’t have any other suggestions to offer for pre- Lincoln center, but I would rather have gone to the Ray’s Pizza on Amsterdam than pay through...

I, like many New Yorkers, grew up loving the food at SHUN LEE PALACE and SHUN LEE WEST. It was there that Szechuan and Hunan food were introduced to American diners. . Dining at SHUN LEE is always a great pleasure. Beautiful,...
