About this business
Treat yourself to Chinese cuisine the next time you are in Lincoln Center. Located very close to the performing arts center, Shun Lee offers elegant cuisine, complete with ornate decorations and romantic lights. The dragon sculpture that greets one in the dining area bears testimony to the authenticity of the restaurant, making it a preferred choice of locals in the mood for the real thing. Duck liver with Chinese mushrooms, smoked fish and noodle soup with braised tendons are classic favorites.

A cut above – Not luxury Chinese like the Shun Lee next door, but ceretainly a couple of notches above the corner Chinese take-out joint. That goes for the decor as well. Shun Lee Cafe offers some of the same food as the next-door place does, but with dim sum -- both steamed and fried -- as well. Everything is well prepared and service is somewhat attentive. Among the slim pickings around Lincoln Center, this is a good one.
best chinese in ny – This is easily one of the best chinese restaurants in NY or anywhere else. The menu is quite substantial, with a number of chicken, beef, and seafood specialties not found at your typical chinese restaurant. The dining room is classy and elegent, the service is attentive (perhaps a little snobby). I've been to shun lee on 3 separate occasions. Each time the food was perfectly prepared -- i.e. crispy beef was crisp yet juicy. Grand marnier prawns not overcooked and flavored well. Major detraction to this ... read more
Moderate prices, neat decor – I've never been to the big sister next door, but this little spot has very good food and decent prices. Service was good, though the dim sum pushers were a little overwhelming.
Have low expectations – Shun Lee Cafe is far lower in quality than its sister restaurant next door. I went there last night with a friend, both excited to try the food since we've never been there.

The BEST Chinese ever..... – Went there for my birthday. Got there early for a 9pm reservation and was seated right away. Restauarant staff extremely friendly & attentive, which is rare these days in the city. Appetizers delicious, only wish they'd give more per serving. Main course delicious. And surprisingly the desert menu was good, got the chocalate mouse cake. Will definitely go back again with a larger group. and the plus to the evening was dining next to Sara Jessica parker and hubby Matthew Broderick
Best uptown spot for dim sum. Skip the more formal restaurant next door.
Excellent and delicious. You gotta try this place if you haven't already, but then again, who hasn't? Returning customers know what they're getting and thus, it's no wonder they've lasted for over 20 years! Keep it up!
