Their pad thai was delicious. The service was excellent and there was a parking lot right next door if you can't find anything on the street. It is a little small inside, but the food and service make up for that.

We have been to Shangri La a couple times and usually we love it but today we were eating and got to the bottom of our dish and there was a quarter in our food. We called and they said if we bring it back they would replace it however we weren’t going to drive 20 minutes back there to get the replacement. He did not apologize for the quarter at all. The guy said he didn’t see the quarter then he was packing it but it was toward the bottom and who’s looking for a quarter in pad Thai.

Tried a few different kinds of dumplings and sushi. Everything was high quality and delicious. Dishes came out individually as they were ready, which kept the food super fresh. The atmosphere is cozy and service super welcoming.

I ordered carry out on a Monday and the food was ready in 15 minutes. The inside was cozy and has both bar and table seating. They offer a very wide range of Asian dishes including sushi. The sesame chicken I had was delicious and had plenty of sweet sauce. I'll be back!

Shangri-La has some great sushi. In a really good way, this place felt like a dive restaurant and I loved that. The atmosphere felt pretty authentic and cool. The service was a bit slow and wasn’t quite the best but it wasn’t awful. But the food, the food was really really good. I went with a group so we just got a bunch of sushi and shared it. Here is what we got: Smoked Salmon Sashimi: this was good! It was actually my first time having smoked salmon and having sashimi, but, it was really good and tasty. I feel like Smoked Salmon is a pretty easy way to give sashimi a try! Salmon Roll: I know I’m boring, but, I always get a basic Salmon Roll when I try a new sushi place. I feel like it’s just a good test to understand the quality of their sushi. After my first piece, I knew that the sushi here was legit and good quality. Dragon Roll: this was by far my favorite roll. Just a lot of great flavors and I’m a big fan of eel! LA Crunch Roll: this was a very good roll, too. Definitely my second favorite. A lot of good flavor and a nice little crunch which can be good. Spicy Salmon Crunch Roll: I’m not the biggest fan of spicy sushi. The spice doesn’t bother me, it’s the mayo base that is usually used for spicy rolls. I don’t care for mayo so sometimes it can just be a bit much for me. But this roll wasn’t bad. I enjoyed it, it just wouldn’t be my first choice. In terms of spice, I’d consider it very mild. Octopus Explosion: this roll was really underwhelming. There just wasn’t anything going on with it. So it just wasn’t really worth it to me. Not great flavor and just boring. Not bad, there’s just so many better options. Overall, really good place. Loved the sushi and would definitely go back and recommend it here!
