    I was looking for a sushi place on the east side of the Bronx and this one appeared. It started as an AYCE restaurant and it is no longer, I was curious to try it out. I went on a Sunday evening where it was packed by 8pm. Food:2.5/5 Let me get specific, I got the sashimi deluxe ( $25, rating 4/5) but, our appetizers and my meal was really disappointing. Firstly, I asked for the FJ Noodles and the server explained that they do not serve that dish, even though it is on the menu. I was like seriously?! Then, I ordered the 10 Piece Hot and Spicy Wontons appetizer to get a wonton dish covered in a sweet peanut butter sauce. Similar to the sauce served with Vietnamese summer rolls, not spicy at all. The takoyaki was clearly not fresh as its shape on the plate was that of a truffle (a round mold with a flat base) and instead of circular sphere. Finally the soup dumplings were meh (not very flavorful) and they served without black vinegar and ginger instead a side of sweet soy sauce. Finally, the udon soup was 75% veggies, 5% beef, and 20% udon. I was so disappointed I ended up eating a portion of my partner's food. Only going back for sushi. Service: 2/5 Honestly, this is place where you need to flag down a person to place your order. I was hoping the service button around the table worked but, clearly not as I waited for over 20 mins for the waiter to notice me. After the menu confused (talked about above), we slowly got our food and chugged our water glasses to distract from our hunger. We had to flag the waiter again to refill our waters and he didn't talk to us until was asked for the check. Not great, but maybe I expected too much. All in all, I may order sushi from here but I not sure I would go back in person. Aside from the sushi, the rest of the food seems meh.

    Shangerila is easily one of the best Asian fusion cuisines in the Bronx. My favorite entree is the General Tso shrimp. This jumbo shrimp dish is satisfying and filling. The batter and sauce is perfect; I thoroughly enjoy it every time. When I first tried this dish, it was super spicy (not to my liking). When I had it the next time with out the spice, it wowed me! The lo mein and fried rice is also great here!

    I used to live in the area and this was one of our favs! Food is good, staff is friendly. They have a pretty good roll selection and the portions are generous. The only downside is that the music they play sometimes isn't appropriate for a restaurant. Had lunch there today and midway thru my meal a song came on that had nothing but the word b*tch repeated over and over along with other inappropriate things. Otherwise, great neighborhood placs

    Hot and spicy Crispy Shrimps

    In a regular here. It's a good place. Can't miss with the sushi or platters. Service is decent as well. Flounder filet is excellent, and all cooked rolls are excellent as well. Spicy shrimp is really good too.

    The only sushi place I trust. Their fish is always fresh and delicious, especially their spicy tuna rolls. Delivery is always fast.

    Is there vegan options available here?

    Yes. They have veggie dishes, tofu and soups that could be ordered.

    When the ayce be back on the menu?

    They don't! I've asked about this for a while now. I don't think it'll be coming back, due to the cost. My husband and I order 5 rolls plus two appetizers and spend about the same when we were doing all you can eat. Hope that's helpful.

    Hi is the AYCE menu still an option for dine in?

    Has not come back as of late 2022

    How much is the AYCE?

    24.95 weekdays and 26.95 Friday-sun

    Do they do birthday specials?

    Sure do! You can eat for free ON your birthday, with proof of ID. After 6 PM only

I wish there were more locations of this in Manhattan. We made an order at the desk before we seated ourselves and for a Saturday evening, there was quite a bit of open tables which was great. I ordered the Szechuan Braised Beef Noodles and they were absolutely delicious. The noodles tasted a bit like ramen noodles but they were able to grab all the delicious and garlic flavored soup. I really appreciated the soft-boiled egg with its marinated egg whites. I also loved the big tender beef chunks as well. Overall, I really cannot wait to go back to Zhongzhong noodles and I hope that they open up more locations. I will say though that since I last went to the Roosevelt Island location, they have raised their prices quite a bit - maybe $2 or $3 per dish.

    THE GOOD ----------------…read more+ Really, really, reallllllly good ramen and food (and just as good as our 1st time 4 years ago!) ++++ Pork Buns - Each order comes with 1 bun, so you can order 1 at a time. Pork was shredded and a little dry, but the Japanese mayo and other ingredients made it very good. ++++ Green Curry Ramen - EXCELLENT curry flavor, but it wasn't too strong. Ramen was cooked perfectly and plenty of ingredients inside, including 2 slices of cha siu and a half of a soft boiled egg. ++++ Blackbeard Ramen - Also fantastic broth flavor too and same comment as above regarding their ramen. ++++ Kids Tonkotsu Ramen - At just $7, this is a steal for a kids ramen. There was 1 piece of cha siu in it, but it was excellent for a kids bowl. + Food comes out fairly quickly. + Private parking lot, but it was packed on an early Saturday evening. THE NOT SO GOOD ---------------------------- - Service was a little disappointing. ---- One (young) waitress seemed very inpatient and was a bit flustered throughout the evening. Didn't appreciate her lack of cordialness. - Interior is tight. ---- There are only 5 tables in the restaurant and all of them can accommodate 2-4 people, MAX. There is also counter seating too for about 4-5 people. - It was freeezing inside when we came in on a frigid January Saturday evening, so keep your jacket on! MIXED THOUGHTS --------------------------- = Nada. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = We arrived at about 5:45 PM on a January Saturday evening and snagged the last available table. Turnover is relatively quick here though because all people are eating is ramen, but there was a large party of about 8 people waiting a good 15-25 minutes after we were seated.

I also enjoy the kitchen apps and entrées- the miso eggplant and agedashi tofu are great appetizers. The salmon teriyaki is always perfectly cooked and accompanied by fresh vegetables. As other reviewers have mentioned- the construction of the rolls can suffer at times- for me this usually looks like 1 at most 2 pieces losing their integrity when I pick them up. My friends and I agree that this is Riverdale, not A sushi hotspot desitation and we would rather sacrifice a point on the physical construction /proper sushi technique than go somewhere else that has beautiful perfectly rolled sushi- with less fresh fish or rolls that are more rice than filling. Also- the sushi IS good! I usually go for salmon, tuna and a sweet potato tempura roll The lunch specials (monday-saturday until 3:15 pm) are a really good deal and come with pretty good miso soup and a fresh side salad. I am appreciative that they run a little later in the day as well. Aoyu has always been very reasonable abt modifications- there is no upcharge for brown rice for lunch bento- easy to request veggie instead of pork gyoza, and I really don't like crab- imitation or otherwise- so they always let me sub a cucumber avocado roll instead. Thanks for being such a great restaurant in riverdale Aoyu!

The workers were super nice and friendly. They checked in on us to make sure we didn't have any issues ordering. The ordering site though was such a pain.
