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. I ordered the spicy salmon with vegetables. The food came and it was awful! Too salty and the supersweet sauce was quite thick, I had difficulty ingesting. Service-wise: my friend's merlot never came, her dimsum was pasty/soggy and no, not even a freakin' fortune cookie or slice of orange. Meanwhile, people on the next table who ordered a bottle of wine, got the royal treatment with a presumably warm roll of cloth to freshen up before dinner. I don't recommend going there and I certainly won't be back.

Editor's Review

This restaurant is a New York stand-by for haute Chinese cuisine, but continually tests out new versions alongside classic dishes.  See the full editorial review.
