About

Bar: Full bar

Shun Lee Palace has been a Midtown East fixture since 1972, serving upscale Chinese cuisine. The owner, Patrick, emphasizes creative, one-of-a-kind culinary experiences. The Beijing Duck is carved tableside with pancakes, hoisin sauce, and scallion brushes — a standout. The space aims for a chic, classy vibe, fitting for both power lunches and date nights. It's dog friendly and has a full bar. Mixed-gay-straight crowds make it a comfortable choice for everyone.

Reservations are recommended, especially for larger groups. The menu includes dishes like Dry Shredded Crispy Beef and spicy XO Prawns. Price tier is moderate to high, but you'll get a solid meal without breaking the bank. Hours run noon to 10pm daily. For a different kind of classic, Katz's Delicatessen is another nearby institution worth a visit.
