As usual, Shanri-la always delights. What a fantastic spot to enjoy a lovely evening. We ordered the spare rib dish, along with jalapeño cornbread with honey and butter as well as the crispy Brussels sprouts. The short rib was perfectly braised, and a delicious bite when combined with the leek sauce, pomegranate seeds, and gremolada. The potatoes were somehow perfectly fried and delicately crisp. The rosemary cuts through what you expect to be a denser, heartier bite to lighten it up. The cornbread was perfect and the Brussels were likewise perfectly crisped. When combined with the elevated, perfectly balanced signature cocktails, it was a perfect date night. Hoping the new ownership maintains the same attention to detail, kitchen curiosity and innovation, and perfect vibes that make Shangri-la one of our all time favorite places to spend time in the Sacramento area. 👍🏼👍🏼

There were 4 of us. Only one of us enjoyed their meal. I had the fish tacos which were OK. The dish was served with a side of overcooked chips, which I just thought was a very odd choice. I would have preferred the tacos were served on their own, even if the chips had been fresh, which they weren't. None of us will be back.

We’ve eaten many dinners at Shangri-La in the past. Today the food was just not up to par. It was OK, but not great. Also, Service was extremely slow. As always, the ambience was amazing.

Been to this restaurant many times. On this occasion, the service was very slow and the food was horrible. I had a fried chicken that was in edible dry, and burnt on the outside.

Our “server” had been the hostess until yesterday, and it was clear she had no idea what waiting on tables entails. No plates/napkins/flatware (i had to go into the restaurant inside (we were seated outdoors) and take napkins from another table); the order we placed came out incomplete and it took 20 minutes and asking twice to finally get it. The other items were not well-prepared and the people bringing out the food appeared to not care in the slightest. They just slammed the plates down and left without asking if we needed anything further.

Food was great. We loved the chili shrimps and truffle fries. We had the slushee margarita and Mai tai. They were really good. For food we got the chicken burger and Shang burger. They were also good. The wait was a little long for the food but we were made aware prior to ordering that they were short staffed so that was nice to know before ordering. Overall great experience we plan on going back.

Unfortunately, this will be our last visit. We have given this restaurant several chances because the location is beautiful, but this experience was particularly disappointing. I made an 8:00 PM reservation and requested outdoor seating. When we arrived, we were told the wait outside would be approximately an hour, so we agreed to sit inside. Surprisingly, there were only about three other occupied tables. We waited quite a while to order and even longer for our food. Our server never returned to check on us or refill our drinks, and I eventually had to go to the bar myself for soda refills. I understand the restaurant closes at 9:30 PM, but with a reservation 90 minutes before closing on a Friday night, guests should not feel as though the restaurant has already shut down around them. The AC appeared to be off, the restaurant was uncomfortable, and the staff seemed irritated. We felt more like an inconvenience than welcomed guests. My husband and I dine throughout Sacramento and genuinely enjoy supporting local restaurants. I was actually evaluating this location for an upcoming business event and as somewhere I could bring colleagues and clients. Unfortunately, after this experience, I couldn’t confidently bring guests here. I don’t know whether this was a management, staffing, or time-of-day issue, but the standards need attention. We rarely leave a restaurant feeling that a meal wasn’t worth paying for, but this was one of those occasions. I sincerely hope ownership takes this feedback seriously. The location has so much potential, but the hospitality, service, and food have to match it.
