content: Hello, 1980s!  Stepping into Shun Lee Palace is like stepping back in time.  The colors of Mauve and Hunter Green abound in the decor.  And lets not forget the swivel chairs.  \n\nWe went on a Saturday night and were seated immediately.  Like someone else mentioned in their review, it was mostly an \""older\"" crowd.  (Perhaps they've been there since the 80s?)   It took quite some time before we were greeted by our server and quite a time longer before she returned to take our orders.  \n\nI like to think that I know my way around a Chinese restaurant, but there were dishes on the menu with which I was not familiar.  And, unfortunately, there were no descriptions.  Tai Chi?  Tung Ann?  New Tze?  Flower Chicken?  Royal Chicken?  Peacock Chicken?  I asked our server about two of them, but didn't want to ask any further and went with Sa Cha Chicken because I knew I had had it someplace once before.\n\nThe food came out as it was made.  First, two (of five) dinners were brought out, one of which had to be taken back because it was wrong.  Then that second one returned with the correct entree.  Then a third dinner came out.  And then finally, the fourth and fifth together.  The food was enjoyable, but a bit on the bland side.  If my entree has a little mark next to it because it's spicy, I want it spicy.  Unfortunately, it wasn't.  And there was nothing on the table to doctor it up.  Everything tasted very fresh, though, so kudos for that.  And the kids' entrees were pretty big, so they were a good value.  \n\nI'm wary of Chinese restaurants that don't automatically offer you chopsticks.   I like chopsticks.  I like to eat Chinese, Japanese, Thai, and sushi dinners with chopsticks.  It adds to the experience.  Since we rarely saw our server, I didn't even bother to ask for a pair.  Maybe there was a shortage in the 1980s?  \n\nI'm sure some people have been going to Shun Lee Palace since they decorated in the 1980s and love it.  I, for one, have experienced much better.  Much, MUCH better.  Atmosphere is a big deal for me.  Shun Lee didn't have it, so we won't be going back.  \n\np.s. What's up with the clothing rack in the dining room?  You might think it was for people to hang their coats; however, you'd be wrong.  Apparently it's a rack where the employees can hang their street clothes up during their shifts.  (Because I doubt that anyone took off their T-shirts at dinner because they were too hot.)  Tres tacky.
