Stars: 3 StarsI picked up a Groupon for Shangri-La after reading the reviews. I was excited to see what had been done to improve what used to be Ping’s Garden. The interior is much improved. It is clean and neat and they obviously spent time and money making improvements. I loved the Koi pond at the door although at present the koi look like gold fish. I hope they get time to grow. One area they failed to do anything was the bathrooms. Nothing worse than going in to wash your hands and being unsure you are any cleaner then when you arrived.
The menu was extensive and I saw many of the usual Chinese restaurant favorites and some other more unusual options. We decided to start with a soup particularly the Chicken Corn Soup. This wasn’t very good. It was basically a gelatinous egg drop with some chicken and corn added.
For our entrées we decided to share an order of white fried rice which was fantastic. It was very fresh and had just the right amount of ingredients. We also had an order or General Gao’s Chicken and an order of Honey Walnuts Chicken. Both of these entrée’s were fantastic. They were all white meat and were packed with flavor and seasoned perfectly.
The staff was very friendly although it was almost a bit too friendly. While were ordering we had three employee’s trying to sell us on the food. It might have been partly because we had no clue what they are saying to us and it felt like we were in a foreign country trying to order.
It still has some room to grow but it is a great start with some good eats.
