Shun Lee West is 10 of NYC's Best Chinese Restaurants
43 W. 65th St., 212-595-8895, Upper West Side, Manhattan
Shun Lee is the mother ship of haute Chinese, a classic showplace cherished by Upper West Siders and convenient to Lincoln Center. This branch opened in 1981 while its sister restaurant on the east side of Manhattan, Shun Lee Palace, has been around since 1971.
There's a reason they've lasted: owner Michael Tong gives demanding New Yorkers what they want, including low-carb and salt-free dishes and cheesecake and tiramisu for dessert. Christmas is the busiest day of the year, and for many Jewish families, dinner here on that day is a longtime tradition—last year, Shun Lee accommodated 1,400 Christmas Day diners. House specialties are poached whole fish, barbeque spare ribs and Grand Marnier prawns. The adjoining Shun Lee Café serves a more limited menu.
