   For decades this was a favorite and our first stop when returning to NYC. Our experience this week was so very disappointing. Our dumplings were somehow burnt on the outside but cold on inside. My Moo Shu Pork wasn’t hot and it had no taste. Hubby’s chicken was tough to eat. The soup was the ONLY thing that was good. Egg Drop and Wonton were both as we remembered. Next time we’ll try Shun Lee West on W 65th

   The food is only ok. But the service is good and the restaurant very quiet. It’s not a bad place for old men with hearing problems to have lunch and reminisce about the old days when, among many other things, this was a hot restaurant.

   Great food, a little pricey. $10 for bottled water and ?$17 for 4 soup dumplings is on the high but will come again.

   This Shun Lee was my favorite place in NYC. We took 11 of us for my granddaughter’s birthday. The food was terrible. The waiter talked us out of getting enough food for the table. His recommendations were terrible. Even the Peking Duck was bad and had hardly any meat in the prepared pockets. The wonton soup was tasteless; Half the spring rolls were burning hot and the other half were ice cold. The Captain did nothing to help. At the end of the meal , we asked for desert. The waiter told us they had none; he told us not to eat the cake - that is was horrible. They didn’t even have ice cream for the children. It is no longer a place for us to go - so sorry about that, it really was the best.
