when 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 Elliman

A 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 .

After 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 Barnes

Invented 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 wonton soup there is out of this world INCREDIBLE.

Their Orange Beef was incredible

The New York Times

Grand Marnier shrimp and pillowy mu shu make for an elegant pre-Lincoln Center meal best taken with martinis and friends.

Brian Erickson

Seems 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.

Jonathan Waxman, chef of Barbuto, eats here on his nights off. He loves the Beijing Duck . Read more

Invented General Tso's Chicken , but doesn't serve it anymore due to demand becoming an annoyance.

@DaDaRocks AdamCohen

If you eat here and do not order the duck then you're a fool.... And like Mr. T says I Pity The Fool!

Jim White

Grand Marnier Shrimp are a must!!

Carrie Hojnicki

Marnier shrimp + slippery chicken is the best combination in town .

Peking duck is amazing

Carrie Hojnicki

Try the slippery chicken , there is a reason Shun Lee has been around for over 40 years.

Dan Horton

Very 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.

Lei Zhang

over-priced and the dish has nothing to do with its Chinese name.

Delicious. Legit. They even have a round table for a large group. That's always a good sign when it comes to real Chinese restaurants. - Chez Ong

First time here since the renovation. Place looks great and Club Gold seats had a good view. In fact, based on the layout, there isn't a bad seat in the house for Knick games. - Jonathan Blenman
