Description:
- If you want inexpensive Cantonese food without pretensions head to Chinatown; but for those who prefer to be pampered and don't mind spending a lot of money, this is the place to be. The dramatically lighted dining room, accented by images of white dragons and monkeys, is across the street from Lincoln Center and appeals to a crowd that appreciates classic Chinese cuisine and diligent service. Giant prawns with black bean sauce makes a good starter, and rack of lamb Szechuan style is a popular entree. The adjacent Shun Lee Cafe is less expensive and serves some of the best dim sum around.
