    As usual, excellent food and attentive service. Consistently, we have enjoyed great appetizers and entrees at Shun Lee. Hands down, best Asian food in Lexington. Well on its way to becoming our favorite restaurant in town.

    We made our first visit to Shun Lee on Christmas Eve, so this may not be fair review or a reflection of standard experiences there. It was VERY busy, and the bar service was apparently completely overwhelmed. We were seated in a small, quiet room off the main dining room. The two other parties in there had been waiting a long time for service of any kind. Finally a very nice server (who may have been a manager) showed up and took orders from all three tables. He told us that there had been a glitch in reservations from Open Table, and explained that the bar backup was causing all kinds of problems. Since we were seated later than the other two tables, we were shocked to get our drinks and food before the others did... maybe because we ordered wine so that no one had to mix any cocktails for us? Anyway, the food was good and came out faster than we expected. The servers were all obviously harried but did their best under the circumstances. We'll go back, I'm sure, but on a quiet weeknight.

    Always good food. Though terribly busy, our server got us what we needed Christmas Eve. Szechuan Chicken is the deal and great egg rolls.
