Shun Lee West Reviews
The employees are generally but some of them have a rude attitude and it seems like they're rushing you. don't know if they're doing it on purpose...
2nd time here after 19 years I think everything is dropping quality.
It's a nice-looking place and the service was good. But the food was remarkably bland, similar to what Chinese restaurants in the U.S. served decades ago. Even the "spicy garlic shrimp" was bland and notably lacking in garlic. If that's what you like, this place is perfect. Otherwise, I'd pass it by.

Shun Lee West is a sophisticated and inviting restaurant located near Lincoln Center. The food is consistently excellent, with exceptional dim sum and other standout dishes like chicken with three nuts, spare ribs, and pork dumplings. The service is attentive and friendly, creating an overall welcoming atmosphere. While some recent reviews mention slight variations in taste or quality, Shun Lee West remains a fantastic spot for an enjoyable, upscale Chinese dining experience. It has been a hidden gem in the area since 1965, offering a classic Cantonese-style menu in a quiet, white tablecloth setting.
