Inside Shun Lee Palace

The storefront on East 55th Street, the bar, the painted-mural dining room and the details in between.

  • The Shun Lee Palace storefront at night beneath an office building, its long lit sign running across the facade.
  • The host stand: a grey stone desk with a glowing gold “SHUN LEE PALACE” band, framed awards and a blue dragon painting on the wall behind.
  • The main dining room: round tables set in white linen beneath a long hand-painted mural of pagodas and pine trees.
  • The bar: a marble counter with a golden wheat arrangement in a “生意兴隆” planter, before a red wall lined with spirits under white linear lights.
  • A red wall with a pale blue painting above a counter of sake bottles and a model sailing junk.
  • A glowing gold lattice screen with round lantern lights, above a ledge displaying signed basketballs in glass cases.
  • Backlit glass cabinets of wine and spirits on a deep red wall, with two stainless steel ice buckets.
  • A red carved cloud-pattern screen between tables in the dining room.
  • A hallway of glowing orange archways leading toward the dining room, walls hung with framed photographs.
  • The entrance water wall: a blue-lit cascade behind a bronze pagoda and silhouetted cranes among ferns.
  • A small dining room beside a large gold-and-teal painted mural of palaces among pine trees, tables set in white linen.
  • A private dining room: a round table for ten in white linen with a glass lazy susan and pink flowers, before a red cloud-pattern carved screen, with a glowing lattice screen and a money tree to the left.
