Shangri-La

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.

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)

Food is good but pricey. Each dim sum item is $5-6 each. The salt and pepper squid is $23! No carts. Staff is friendly.

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.

Wonderful dim sum and Chinese food outside of Detroit. Especially loved the pepper steak and fried egg noodle with beef. Great service! Everything came out so fast. Look forward to coming back!

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.

There food is great, service is perfect. Their servers are nice and kind.Ambiance pretty Chinese mood.

My office staff and I ordered dim sum from them. We all agreed that the food was very good.
