The atmosphere, decor and service are all great here. Price has been mentioned a few times, and no it isnt the cheapest place in town, but you get what you pay for, and this is a great place to spend and evening in my opinion!

The minute you walk in, you feel like you are in a luxurious Chinese palace. Very tactile, warm and dark Chinese decor, wonderful lighting, this is a very three-dimensional restaurant. <br> The appetizers are all exquisite, served quite quickly upon ordering, and always piping hot. We always order two hot and sour soups, to share between 4, they are served rich and chock full of tasty ingredients. Then we have steamed dumplings, pan-fried dumplings, szechuan dumplings and their yummy, finger-sized spare ribs, which are glazed, grilled and served without fatty bits. The hot mustard is a must! <br> As main courses, get the Peking duck and the spicy orange beef.

Stylish room, impeccable service and excellent food means this restaurant certainly lives up to Palace standards. The food is a mix of elegance and flavor: Even basics such as wonton soup are complex and flavorful. The rich and generously-portioned hacked chicken and the tender, meaty duckling with ginger are both particularly good. There is a special "spa menu" so that even dieters can find something they're willing to eat. Prices reflect the quality of the room and service.

I cant speak about the authenticity, but I found the presentation and flavor to be excellent. It may be expensive, but most resturants of this caliber in New York will be. The wait staff is excellent and knowledgable. I wish i had some of their dry crispy beef right now! Wow

New Yorkers are definitely don't know how to pick a good Chinese restaurant. This place was great, the atmosphere was awesome, most people who eat here are very classy, however when it comes to food quality, this place suffers. I'd say you folks should try eating real Chinese food on the West Coast, Los Angeles, San Francisco or better yet, Vancouver are the three best places to eat real good Chinese food outside China/Hong Kong. They really know how to cook. Shun Lee might be located in Midtown Manhattan and a Chinese fiesta place for top Wall Street Bankers and lawywers, but obviously they don't know how and where to eat a real Chinese food.

Prices were very high for a Chinese restaurant, but has a nicer atmosphere than most. Food is pretty good, but not 20-30 dollars great.

VERY EXPENSIVE. You're expected to pay normal tip (15%) and tip for the captain (another 5%). Food is excellent. Place is usually very quite and the service is excellent.
