"A New York City Chinese restaurant historically included among the spots Jewish families gravitate toward on Christmas, representing the longstanding cultural tradition of pairing festive gatherings with easily accessible Chinese food when other options are limited." - Rachel Levin
"I followed the controversy around Shun Lee 98th Street, a Chinese restaurant on the Upper West Side that has changed its name to Dim Sum Bloom after being accused of masquerading as Shun Lee Palace, a Midtown establishment since 1971. Its owner, Sean Li, who worked as an account for the original Shun Lee, licensed the brand’s name for one year, which caused confusion and disappointment among fans; the restaurant announced on NextDoor, "We understand that there have been some concerns regarding our brand, which has caused inconvenience for everyone." - Luke Fortney
"Described as an old-school Chinese fine dining palace, Shun Lee West received $5 million." - Ryan Sutton
"I note that Chinese fine dining legend Shun Lee West has reopened after a six-month closure on the Upper West Side; it's limited to takeout and delivery for now but plans to open its dining room by the end of the month." - Tanay Warerkar
