    A bit of an elevated Chinese experience. 9/10 times I’m delivering Chinese food but this was a nice break and good overall. Service was very friendly and responsive! Food was delicious and quality was great.

    We often choose Shun Lee's when we're dining out with friends. The atmosphere is pleasant, the food is good, and the noise level is low, so you can actually carry on a conversation with friends in a pleasant atmosphere. We find that a real advantage.

    Great food. We went early (11:30 on a Wednesday) and there was only one other couple. We had dim sum which was fantastic (sui mai). We liked having a bottle of water to refill our own glasses. We had general tso chicken and sesame chicken. Both with fried rice and one with egg roll/one spring roll. All delicious. Price was reasonable. Our server talked a lot about- especially to the next table. Luckily we were not on a time schedule or it would have been frustrating. Overall good experience. We will return for dinner

    Love to dine at Shun Lee, the staff is so friendly and welcoming. My Mom and I agree we have finally found the perfect Chinese restaurant to dine at. Lunch or dinner you will not be disappointed, the food is delicious and nicely presented.

    Shun Lee provides a wide range of the traditional Chinese-American fare. Every dish I have tried has been excellent. Soups are more flavorful than at some other restaurants. Meats are high quality. Mongolian Beef can't be beat. l
