We came here for Dim Sum for my niece's birthday. Unlike how it was in the past when the servers came around with carts for you to pick from, you choose what you want from a menu, the way you order sushi. I let others choose what we should have; except for spice, I'm not picky. It was only ok. I didn't care for the texture of a lot of it, as most of the meat seemed to be boiled, and the wrappings seemed a bit slimy and rubbery. And, we couldn't really tell which items were which, as everything tasted similar. It was ok, but nothing was outstanding. Even the tea was pretty weak. But, the service was good. I don't know how much Dim Sum usually costs, but for 4 of us eating it, 1 soup and 1 appetizer + one regular entree, the bill was just under $200. That seems very expensive to me, especially for mediocre Chinese food.
My favorite Dim sum please throughout Metro Detroit. Rice rolls, Mongolian beef, eggplant, sesame balls, shrimp friend rice all so good. This is a must try for authentic Chinese food. Staff comes around in carts with food, really cool experience and everyone is very friendly. Nice atmosphere on the higher end scale compared to most typical Chinese places.
Extremely authentic Chinese American Cuisine! My girlfriend and I have been craving a space that gives us that China town ambience, this place has everything. Lots of very delicious dim sum options which you cant find everywhere, we considered this a lucky find! Menu had jelly fish, chicken feet, tripe, white lotus buns, all the good stuff. Staff was very quick and kind, had us seated patiently and food came out at a typical pace. I will absolutely be coming back, it completely cured my New York sadness! Not to mention the building is beautiful, photos attached! Highly recommend!
Was here for dim sum, but this review is for dine-in / dinner. We ordered 4 dishes. All dishes were authentic. Service was quick. Menu is vast and can be daunting. We ordered what was recommended and what we craved: pork, tofu, casserole. Dishes were all flavorful and authentic. The pork belly was great: Slightly sweet soy sauce. The tofu lacked flavor but balanced the rest of the heavy dishes. The beef casserole was also pretty good and had some daikon (fried), tendon and some other cuts of beef. All in all a good meal. However, I cannot agree with what they are charging for these dishes. Each dish was greater than $20+. They are charging for the flavor, which is indeed unique. However At this price point I wouldn't come back. Also, red flag for me is that rice is charged, at a price point of $2 per bowl. Ludicrous if you ask me. We will bring our own rice next time. Service: They come once getting your order and they don't come back. That is expected for Chinese restaurants though, and you have to flag them down. Ambiance. Outside looks nice. Inside is indeed decorated. They try their best to be a high-end Chinese restaurant. Overall, we would try other Chinese restaurants and go back to restaurants we've been before, before coming back to this one.
Promptly seated. Packed with people at lunchtime. Many Asians eating there, made us think it must be pretty authentic. Everything was very tasteful. Could taste chicken in wonton soup, no watered down broth. Everything was served hot. Excellent hot tea, not watered down. Perfect seasonings on all dishes. Even the fried wontons for soup were yummy. Generous portions. Nice crunch to almond chicken. We'll be back!
I was craving dim sum and plotted my return here. Let me explain. I despise the traffic circles in the area and consequently don't shop or dine in this neighborhood, but I made an exception for this meal. It has been years since I visited here; the last time was during COVID when I did takeout. I noted a few changes since my last in-restaurant dining experience: The restaurant was less busy and less noisy than before. However, I was here after the lunchtime rush. The carts filled with food are gone. Instead, you order from a menu, similar to what you would do at a sushi restaurant. The picture menu is a big help. The portion sizes are sadly smaller but the prices are sadly higher. I miss the carts, quite frankly. I like to be able to order food as soon as I'm seated, and I think this is unique to dim sum. However, I don't appreciate placing my order, waiting a long time, and seeing the table that got seated after mine get their dim sum and special order items before I get my food. I ordered the usual: Siu mai: steamed dumplings with pork, shrimp, and mushrooms. Meatballs on watercress: Steamed meatballs on a small bed of watercress--these were smaller than before but tasty. Barbecue pork pastries: Chinese barbecue pork in a flaky pastry continues to be a favorite. I like both the sweet pork filling and the super flaky pastry. I did note that there was more pastry to the pork than before. Beef rice rolls: Steamed, thin "crepe" made of rice and filled with beef are topped with sweet soy sauce. This used to be my absolute favorite dish. I would order one dish for myself, no sharing allowed. However, the version today was mostly rice crepe with a small amount of beef. This is an ongoing theme of this visit and a reason not to return. Sesame balls: A sweet ben paste mixture is sealed in a glutinous ball and rolled in sesame. I enjoyed it a lot. Black bean spare ribs: My sister's favorite, these small pieces of pork ribs are steamed with fermented black beans. Note that you should expect bone shards. Spring rolls: Similar to the appetizers at Asian restaurants, the spring rolls with water chestnuts, carrots, mushrooms, cabbage (?), and celery were fine. Har gow: Steamed shrimp dumplings are a mainstay of our family's dim sums. The version here is fine; my parents make this a lot so I tend to be picky. Service was fine. The staffers cleared the small plates when they emptied, which was great.
Lots of parking and nice interior but most dishes that were small and all below average. Dessert options were yummy though. + Meatball: liked that it was filled with vegetables but didn't come with the usual black vinegar sauce. (6/10) + Pork XLB: no juice, thick skin, and meat filling was too dense (4/10) + Runny egg yolk bun: perfect runny texture, fluffy bun (7.5/10)
What a wonderful discovery for dim sum. This is really the place to go if you need a fix for dim sum. We came here for dinner time so I will definitely check it out again on a weekend brunch hour. The dim sum menu is available all day. We ordered the usual and wasn't disappointed. Not as good as east coast Chinatown but close enough for suburban Michigan. Good enough variety and has all the obligatory dim sum items. We also ordered noodles and string beans from the menu and weren't disappointed. The flavor is right. We ordered a lot and didn't get judgement that we ordered too much for 2. Service is prompt and polite. Seating choice was good. Has booths. Would definitely come back!!
Went here for Dim Sum. So good! I love the ceiling and glass walls in this place. The staff is very friendly and fast. We had the Chinese broccoli, taro, sesame balls, bbq pork, shrimp balls, etc. everything was very tasty and looked amazing. All of our dishes came out fast and together. I recommend the sesame balls, stuffed peppers and eggplant, shrimp balls and Chinese broccoli and the baked cream bun.

Shangri-La Restaurant is one of the best dim sum spots in Metro Detroit, in my opinion. Service is good, food is always hot, and is consistently good, definitely a reliable choice. Inside feels very nostalgic with decorations, especially being inside of a mall. It's one of my favorite Sunday morning go-tos after a night out. I usually order the har gow, siu mai, spare ribs, and the Chinese donut wrapped in rice noodle (so delicious). And of course, their BBQ buns and pastries are a must. Overall, a great option for dim sum in the area! 4/5 read more

Stopped by Shangri-La for lunch and was surprised to find dim sum on the menu. Hadn't had any since Wong's Eatery in Windsor closed. There was a nice assortment. I ordered Shui Mai, Fried Shrimp Balls and Steamed Pork Dumplings. Everything was delicious but the Shui Mai could have been a bit warmer. The menu isn't your usual Chinese-American fare. With offerings of pork buns, soup dumplings, squid, tripe and chicken feet, it seems more authentic Chinese cooking. I can't complain about the service. I got seated right away and my waitress was attentive and served me my food in short order. The atmosphere of the restaurant was pleasant. The second room has a beautiful stained glass dome and the entire place is nicely decorated with paintings and sculptures. All in all, it was a very pleasant experience. I will definitely be returning. read more

We came here because my sister-in-law from out of town was looking for the best almond boneless chicken around and we were hoping this would be it. While the chicken itself was very good, the gravy that goes on top of it was kind of watery. And tasteless. I got a scallop with snap peas dinner and there were hardly any scallops in it for $25. I was a bit disappointed. My sister got a fried noodle seafood meal, which I never tried but again it didn't seem like it had much in the way of the sea food - it had lots of noodles!! We also got the sizzling rice soup and that was actually very tasty. We all got eggrolls that were very tasty. read more

Finally found legit Chinese food in MICHIGAN. Struggle has been real, but glad I can have some good dim sum and more. This restaurant is not fancy. The service is nothing to write home about, but everyone is nice. We over ordered, but that's pretty standard for me when I get dim sum. Leftovers are always great! read more
Just to preface this, I am not a fan of Chinese food but my family wanted to go to Dim Sum and this place seems to be the place to go! There were several people already lined up before it opened and the tables filled up fast (with mostly Asian families). There are pictures of the dim sum on the table but the menu card actually has more items so look carefully! We enjoyed the Shu Mai & Stuffed Eggplant the most & although the presentation of the quail is not ideal (comes whole without the head...) everyone enjoyed the flavor of it. Dim Sum is fun because you get to enjoy a variety of items. I would go again because my family enjoyed it a lot. read more

We enjoyed our lunch here on Friday. Eric R. always wants dim sum since it is not available where we live, and this was a very short drive from our friend's house in the area where we stayed. We came at lunchtime and were immediately seated. Water and tea showed up right away. We took a look at the menu and filled out the order sheet. Five of the six items we ordered showed up fairly quickly, and the dessert item came after. It was very efficient and impressive! Eric R. ordered soup dumplings and steamed BBQ pork buns for himself. He liked the buns but not the soup dumplings, which were cold and did not come with ginger or black vinegar, or a spoon for that matter. I ordered garlic chive pancake which I shared with him. They were very hot and tasty! I also got the shrimp stuffed eggplant which was served with green onions in a savory sauce. I also ordered the shrimp kau (shrimp dumplings) which were also very tasty and served at four per order so we each had 2. We asked for chili oil which we got immediately to enjoy with our dumplings. Soy sauce was already on the table. My dessert were the steamed egg yolk buns. They were super hot and delicious, though very sweet. My dad would have loved these! We also thought the prices were really good here. read more
Great authentic Dim Sum restaurant they get busy fast especially on the weekends. If you have a large party make sure you make a reservation. We love the variety of dishes however since COVID they do not bring the dim sum carts around so you have to do all your ordering at one time so it can be hard to figure out how many items you should get. read more

The best foods at Shangri-la: Crispy Taro Kor, Roast Pork Pastry, Baked Cream Bun, Shrimp in Rice Roll, Shrimp Kao, Pan-Fried Turnip Cake, Shiu Mai, Baked BBQ Pork Bun, and Garlic Squid. Not pictured were the steam BBQ buns and crispy squid, which are also delicious! This is still my favorite place of all in metro Detroit to get dim sum. Whether a small group or a big one, there is something for everyone at this marvelous delight. read more

It is very hard to find a good dim sum place. Believe me, I have tried in a couple of cities. Maybe I am a little picky, but EBS taught me well. I haven't had any dim sum since the pandemic started and had been here a few years ago with a Chinese Meetup group. Decided to give them another try. With the pandemic, you don't have dim sum on a cart, but can order off the menu. The menu is on the table with pictures in both English and Chinese. It is under plastic cover on the table. You mark what you want on a sheet with the prices. Everything is cooked to order by a chef that is either from Hong Kong or trained there. That shows in the quality. They do have more than dim sum if you are only use to what Americans call Chinese food. Everything I ordered was what I expected. The Chive dumplings is different than China Palace, but not bad. It was just as good warmed up the next day. I get the shrimp dishes like shrimp har how, shrimp rice rolls, and any other shrimp listed. The service was good and the dinning room set up for safety. Soy sauce in packets not the normal small bottles. I look forward to coming back and for my diet, it is too close for home. Prices more than reasonable. read more
I got to-go generals chicken combo, hot and sour soup and garlic chive pancakes! My order was ready promptly and tasted great. Hot and sour soup had great flavor and perfect amount of spice. Big pieces of tofu, which I love. The garlic chive pancakes had good flavor but I wish they were a bit crispier (may be because it was to-go). Chicken entre came with fried rice and an egg roll--all of which was delicious. read more

Shangri-La is our family's favorite. Background - my mom's side is Chinese, and it's hard for us to find good Chinese food in the area without compromising quality. We used to be Peking House regulars for YEARS until they sadly closed. Shangri-La gets the job done and satisfies those cravings. I understand people have different expectations when it comes to Chinese food, but you should give this a try, especially for Dim Sum. They have a great Dim Sum selection, and it is served all week long - not just on weekends! The Baked BBQ Buns (Bao) are my FAVORITE, and it reminds me of the ones my grandma would make. We tend to stick to the favorites: General Tso's, Pan Fried Egg Noodles, Sweet and Sour Pork. They have a dish which I believe is called Beef with Special Sauce, and it's fantastic. It's almost like a bbq sauce with tender beef topped with onions. A new regular for us! It gets really busy on the weekends so pack your patience and enjoy! read more

When is dim sum, specifically on weekends? Is it still only brunch/lunch times or is it also offered for dinner?
Hi Liz P. My understanding is they have dim sum any time they're open. You order off the sheet, no carts.
We're long term customers hoping for some carry out. There's no message on their phone or anything on website, informing the public of their immediate plans. Would be a nice courtesy. Anyone have any ideas?
At the beginning of the closures, they did carry out. I picked up an order then. I haven't in a few weeks, but they did before. Good luck
During late night dim sum are the carts running or do you just order?
We only have cart service until 3PM. The late night dim sum you order each item.
Is a reservation required for Peking Duck?
Not when we ordered it. I do not believe they serve it during lunch.
Does anyone know the exact times they do dim sum?
Weekends they start at 10. Some stir fry items are not available until 11.
