    The restaurant was everything we hoped it to be for our Christmas dinner. The staff were friendly and welcoming along with the managers. The location was great and walkable distance from Times Square. We enjoyed all of it! The food was amazing! Peking duck and Szechuan dumplings were so good, I could eat them everyday. The price point was very reasonable especially with everything else in New York being mind boggling overpriced! 5 stars for Evergreen! Can’t wait to go back!

    Shun Lee is always good and reliable. We go there often and love it. Cocktails are well done. Vegetable spring rolls are excellent. This time, though, one of the main dishes we ordered was not a success. The Grand Marnier Prawns were superb, as they have always been. Oddly we were first seated on the other side, not the main dining room. I asked to be seated in the main dining room, and there was plenty of room. The waiter said I had asked to be seated on this side, which was not true. In Open Table there is no place for such a choice, and I thought that that part is closed at dinner time. This was a mystery to me but resolved to everyody's satisfaction. I recommend a visit to this fun place.
