36 years ago in May the first ever dinner for The Single Gourmet was held at Shun Lee West and Michael Tong has continued to deliver for us. Usually it’s where we go for our anniversary, but this year it was held at a different restaurant. Lots of people attended, but lots of people also told me how much they like and missed Shun Lee West, and I figured we’d go in August.

Our menu is the best of the best with multiple choices such as soft shell crab, prawns in a light soy sauce, Beijing duck, Szechuan sliced pork, and much more. Zagat describes Shun Lee West as an “exemplar of upscale dining, fancy Chinese food dispatched by a top team in an exotic, space.” There’s a reason why it’s been a neighborhood cornerstone since the 1980s and why we dine here at least once a year.

MENU:

• Soft shell crab with ginger & scallions
• Chicken soong in lettuce wrap
• Szechuan boiled wontons

• Beijing duck

• Szechuan sliced pork
• Prawns with vegetables
• Hunan baby eggplant
• Vegetable fried rice
