Shangri-la Restaurant

I've gone here for most of my life when I crave Chinese Food! The food is delicious, the atmosphere is cozy, and the staff are a delight!. With dozens of options to choose from, I promise you will find something you like. Personally, I recommend the General Tso fried chicken medium, with an eggroll and chicken sticks, it is amazing! Whether you want spicy chicken, hot soup, or a calm eggroll, This is the place to go.

Have been coming here for almost 30 years and its always delicious. Highly recommend the Beef and Broccoli, Sweet and Sour chicken, Wonton soup and Shrimp Lo Mein, but everything is excellent. Makes a great cozy adult date night destination on off-peak nights and times, but can get a bit loud and crowded during season just like most other good places in SRQ. Love it!

The staff are amazing and the food is always delicious. A solid 10/10, no joke! You might not realize it as it's tucked in next to the Publix on Bee Ridge and Cattleman. But, they have the serious eats, and it's been a go to for years for us. On another note please remember to be kind folks. I was actually there yesterday 6-14-22 and witnessed someone tantamount to harrassing a server, who had nothing but patience in dealing with the customer. Reminded me of the golden rule, of treating others the way you'd like to be treated. It's important! To the lady that ordered won ton soup and complained of having too rich a won ton to broth ratio (due to your "bad stomach"), but ordered won ton soup anyway, instead of a bowl of broth. But when asked to fix it, was only interested in paying for broth and half the won tons. 1. You catch more flies with honey not vinegar 2. Yelling you cannot understand someone standing next to you, while I (from the other side of the restaurant) clearly heard every word, was somewhat rude and clearly a touch condecending. 3. Seriously, your old enough to know better, please do better! Shout out to Anna and the server who dealt with a high functioning curmudgeon, like champions!

With so many take-out only Chinese restaurants around, finding a dine-in one is indeed a rare find. Shangri-La did not disappoint, and in fact, went above my expectations. The wonton soup was very tasty and had a nice amount of scallions and slivers of pork as well as fresh wontons. I could tell that the egg rolls were hand-made...not the frozen pre-made kind. They were so good I ordered more! An added touch with the fact that the Chinese mustard and duck sauce came in little bowls, and not in those take out packets. I love pork fried rice. It is my go-to dish at a Chinese restaurant. I ordered there special house pork fried rice oh, and it was delicious! Veggies, egg, and lots and lots of lean pork. I almost couldn't finish it, which would have been a unheard of. I highly recommend this place. The owner is very attentive and it shows in the way the place is run.
