Shun Lee Palace Description:
Shun Lee Palace has been a best bet for excellent Cantonese and Szechuan cuisine in Midtown for three decades. In the spacious dining room, the tables are set European-style and the maître d' wears a tux. Start with grilled scallops, barbecued spare ribs, crispy shrimp balls and dumplings. Next, order won tons floating in a rich duck broth. You can get all the usual pork, chicken and noodle standbys---done expertly---plus such unusual dishes as minced beef stir-fried with cellophane noodles in a spicy garlic sauce garnished with greens; or sweetbreads with black mushrooms in a peppery Szechuan sauce. The excellent Peking duck is worth ordering for the high-speed, knife-flashing presentation alone. At lunch on weekdays, there is a good $20 prix-fixe menu.
