It's ok. The service was fine, not friendly at all, but not bad either. I ordered black pepper, extra spicy, and crab Rangoon too. The black pepper chicken must be ridiculously bland because extra spicy tasted absolutely bland, like zippo spice The crab rangoon was ok too... probably wouldn't get it again. Slightly burnt. Also just for that it was over 20 bucks! So kinda crazy for a Chinese restaurant. read more

A good, cheap, to-go spot for Chinese food - you get what you pay for! We were craving Chinese food, so ordered to-go from Shangri-la. There aren't many Chinese spots in Chattanooga, so figured we'd give them a shot. Food was super reasonable and made quickly. Not the best quality, but I still enjoyed the flavors and ate it all! read more

Hole in the wall Chinese food place. The food was good. It was kinda stuffy in here and the table needs to get wiped down. The service was typical of a Chinese food restaurant. It was cheap. I think i paid 9 dollars for a good meal. If you're looking for cheap good food then give this place a call. read more

Don't expect southern charm. But the food will make you slap your pappy. I've had 3 meals now: sesame chicken, general tso and beef and broccoli with fried rice. Food is great, prices are good and portions are good. Prices may be excellent for downtown - you'll have to compare. read more

Friday night takeout hub. All you can ask is for is for a place to do their own thing well. They do Chinese takeout well. Not amazing, but filled my tummy! Haven't tried the sushi yet but they were making it fresh when I picked up! read more

We always order take out so can't speak too much to the vibe. They always have our order ready to go quickly. Our go to is Mongolian Beef and General's Chicken and my husband always orders a few pieces of sushi. It's consistently good - not great but we keep coming back so there's that. read more

Had spring roll and egg roll and beef fried rice for supper. Woke up a few hours later with food poisoning. Beware this place

The food is fairly low quality, but the price makes up for it. There is no ambiance whatsoever, and the employees are rude. But that's not even the worse part, when we finished eating, we were going to pack the leftovers to go. But as we were packing the sauce, we noticed something in there, what we found was a big screw inside the chili sauce. I also checked the health rating for here, and they've never gotten 100/100. I wouldn't recommend this place tbh. Go anywhere else. read more

Shangri-La - Chicken Fried Rice - Japanese Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

This is a Straightforward American Chinese food spot. I had black pepper chicken and white rice. The order was quickly made.

If you want good Chinese food, they definitely have it. If you want mean service, they have that too. Wish the people were just a little more kind. Makes you feel like you're an inconvenience when you order from them, which is unfortunate. read more

Got takeout by way of Uber eats. Food came warm, but not hot. That wasn't their fault though. Tasted great. No major complaints. Would eat again! Note: Crab Rangoon was out of this world here. Maybe my all time favorite. read more

This is hands down the worst sushi place in chattanooga or anywhere ive ever been. got the most expensive roll and it was underwhelming to say the least. tuna was straight out of a can and i needed extra wasabi to drown out the taste. im a sushi enthusiast and this is the worst ive ever had. read more

I ordered for four people. They will combine your sushi orders into the same container. If you call in the order, they also charge you 10% "calling service fee". Restaurant seemed clean. read more

Awesome food, fast and fresh! Yelp is bugging me to add more details, but I ordered delivery and it was great! You should consider this for an order beacuse it was good, not greasy, and tasty! read more

Small, hole in the wall restaurant on 7th st. They have sushi and Japanese appetizers and Chinese cuisine. The menu is a little limited but still a lot to choose from. We had 2 sushi rolls. They were very good!! The steamed pork dumplings were also great! My friend had the general tsos chicken and said it was good. I had the hunan chicken. It was just ok. Fried rice was ok as well. The egg roll was only filled with cabbage. Not good at all. I would go back and eat sushi and appetizers for sure! read more

A hole-in-the-wall Chinese place in downtown Chattanooga. We randomly walked in not expecting much, but were very surprised by the quality of the food. Although it was tough to communicate with our waitress, she was still able to make sure the food met some dietary restrictions. There isn't any draught beer, but has a good selection of Chinese beers. I highly recommend the General Tso Tofu and Veggie Fried Rice. read more

Great sushi and Chinese food! Had a order mix up but susan agreed to make it right! Recommend to my friends

Got sushi rolls they were gross. The meat tasted like it had been sitting out... salmon was warm.

The food was so good for a great price. I got the beef lo mein and there was so much beef and it was definitely the best I've ever had, definitely got bang for my buck. The sushi isn't anything special but it's at a great price. I definitely recommend coming here. It doesn't look great from the outside but it's very clean on the inside. read more

We have been here about 3 times and each time the food has been wonderful! The sushi sizes can be off (sometimes too small) but it is really good and the quality seems great. Our favorite thing to come for is the all you can eat menu which includes all of their specialty sushi, as well as, appetizers and other items on the menu. The service is great here as well! We keep coming back so I hope that the consistency stays the same and they continue to do the all you eat for $19.98 read more

Food is horrible. Soggy greasy, and I found a huge piece of plastic in my spring roll. It was sharp like from a plate. NOT SERVICE DOG FRIENDLY. I walked in to pick up my order and was physically pushed out the door because I had my service dog with me. My service dog is medical alert and with it being so hot outside I was very prone to an episode. They made me wait outside u til someone was able to bring it out to me. And had a full medical episode ( passed out) right in front of the restaurant on the street. Please be more understanding towards people with disabilities. read more

So disappointed after reading the good reviews. Boyfriend and I ordered delivery, and the food was delivered fast. We ordered two orders of fried rice, one beef and the other chicken. We also got the wonton soup, which was fine. The fried rice had no flavor, and the meat was extremely alarming. My beef was still red, and not in a cooked-rare way. My boyfriend's chicken made me nauseous. The chicken was still pink and extremely undercooked. The white sauce (which cost extra) is straight mayonnaise. No flavor, and tasted old. This spot is easy on the wallet, however you 100% get what you pay for. read more

I've hearty portions; good variety of well prepared dishes. Good quick lunch spot right down from Tge Court House and shister district. Great food great value ! read more

Have loved everything I've tried! Very yummy sushi - caterpillar roll is my favorite.

I ordered the teriyaki chicken and it is awful, zero taste to the chicken. This place also did not have anywhere to dine in. read more

Just completely bomb every time. Favorite sushi in Chattanooga by far! Never forgets an extra soy sauce, yumyum, napkins, all that! Highly recommend the Philly roll, the salmon and tuna spicy rolls, the pan fried pork dumplings are great. I see Shangri-Looniehoonie got some negative reviews... try it for yourself! You won't be disappointed. Thanks shang shang! read more

What an disappointment after reading all the reviews. The food was awful. I ordered orange chicken. All one could taste was frying oil and sugar. My husband had hunan beef and the beef tasted like rubber. The cashier was rude and unfriendly. No ambiance whatsoever. We cannot recommend this place. Even one star is too much. read more

I order delivery from here fairly often. A couple of weeks ago I was out and about and decided to order for pick up. I hadn't actually been in the restaurant in a couple of years and was surprised to see that they had remodeled. The space is smaller than when they first opened, which isn't a bad thing. There were several people eating in and even more people coming in to get takeout orders. They seem to have a good flow of customers. I like the sushi there. It's affordable and tasty. I don't go crazy with sushi. I don't like fish, but I love shellfish, so I stick with the cooked rolls. Yeah, I'm basic. Some of their Chinese dishes are pretty good. Their General Tso's is one of my BFs favorites in town. Their lo mein is pretty good and a few other basic dishes. Nothing wild or super authentic here, just good takeout for a Friday night in. read more

My favorite delivery. The veggie dumplings, and tofu instead of meat as a option is nice.

My son and I were wondering around downtown and he saw they had a sushi sign out. We went in to check it out. The sign outside was wrong in the lunch special end at 3 so we missed out on that. R i p. We still got their Sushi special was cost a little bit more but it tasted really good. Little kids were running all over the place barefoot and watching tablets and being very loud. Being typical kids, didn't bother us. There were about 5 of them in a table and I'm pretty sure their family ran the restaurant. Food was good, was sad we weren't able to get the special because it ended at 3 but their Sushi was nice. Will go again if I'm downtown and want sushi. read more

I deliver for doordash and have had to interact with with the workers of this restaurant dozens of times. They are extremely rude. They don't acknowledge or greet people that come in for pickup orders. Sometimes there are missing items in the order and when asked if they would come over to look at the order and the order screen, they get defensive, extremely rude and refuse to follow up with any any sort of decent customer service. In these times where restaurants are really suffering due to the global pandemic, it's more important than ever that people choose to support small businesses with good ethical practices and ones that value their customers and operate with kindness. read more

Decided to update my review since it has been quite some time. I still love this place. The food is consistently good, with very healthy portions. I enjoy the black pepper chicken, the Happy Family, & love the hot & sour soup. I have rarely had better Chinese food. They are reasonably priced and seldom crowded to the point that the wait is too long (but it has happened a time or 2 at lunch). The only reason I can't give five stars is because the staff seems a little cold, and come off as rude sometimes. Maybe it's a cultural thing or maybe it's a language barrier thing that I'm not getting, but either way. I don't think they mean anything personally to me, but it lessens my experience therefore 4 stars not 5. read more

My husband got the sweet and sour chicken and I got a eel roll, an egg roll with miso soup. It was as all alright. Nothing special. But it was fresh, or seemed to be. My biggest disappointed is the mood of the whole place. Literally everyone here has something against smiles or even appearing to be the least bit of in a good mood. Unless they're talking to each other and then they show other emotions besides content. read more

I am sick tonight and couldn't go out to get food, so I decided to try Shangri-La again. I ordered through Uber Eats since they don't have a $20 minimum like ordering through Yelp does, and I ordered a combo with sweet and sour chicken, a vegetable egg roll and fried rice. What I got was sweet and sour chicken, Lo Mein (which I don't like at all) and an egg roll that appears to have beef or pork in it (my husband was going to eat the egg roll and he's allergic to beef and pork). So 2/3 of my order was wrong, and I could only eat the remaining third of it. I double-checked my receipt with Uber Eats and it does show I selected fried rice and requested a vegetable egg roll, so it's not the system's fault. The restaurant was closing in 15 minutes when my food arrived, so I couldn't get a replacement for the items that were wrong. I guess it's my fault for trying to give this place a second chance. read more

This place does not ever disappoint! Ever. The food is AMAZING...tastes better, fresher, and from scratch, than any Chinese/Japanese restaurant in Chattanooga! And to boot, it's not a chain restaurant. It's a local family and you can tell that they put a whole lot of love into their food. Do yourself a solid and order from Shangri-La! read more

The service was attentive and friendly. There was a language barrier though it didn't end up being an issue. The space was clean, and we were the only ones in the restaurant at 6:45 on a Saturday. There was a decent amount of carry out going on. We got all you can eat, which apparently had been reduced by two dollars. The apps were fine though the sauces all had too much sugar. The shrimp tempura were probably the best. The gyoza and shrimp shumai were basic along with the miso soup. The salad greens were fresh. The sushi was mostly ok, with a couple of catches. The salmon nigiri tasted very bland. It didn't taste off, but it mostly didn't taste like anything. The shangri-la roll maybe had a little too much cream and spider roll was fine. The rice in all of this wasn't the best but it wasn't awful either. I didn't notice an overabundance of rice more were the rolls too loose as noted in other reviews. The spicy salmon hand roll was probably the best of all of them, though the seaweed was a little soggy. I might have gone back if these were the only issues, but I also ordered a single piece of yellowtail nigiri as a test. It was bad, really bad. I could tell by the color something wasn't right. It was the color of pus. It smelled extremely fishy and not in a good way. Needless to say I didn't eat it. Until then I maybe would have gone back. After their sushi chef put something so foul on the plate though, I don't trust anything else off his board. I won't be back. read more

My first time at this place and I was pleasantly surprised. First, it was pretty crowded at the lunch hour which is honestly a first for me seeing a Chinese place in Chattanooga so packed. To me that was a great sign. Service was pretty blah. I asked for Orange Chicken and the guy told me no but they have Shangri-La Chicken (I think thats the name?) so I asked to try it and he was hesitant and gave me a look telling me it tastes the same as Orange Chicken. Rude. I tasted it and although it tastes NOTHING like Orange Chicken, it is still REALLY good. I got the lunch portion with Lo Mein and the register lady was taking a very long time. I was concerned about cold food. It wasnt cold when I ate it and I thoroughly enjoyed my meal. Will be returning in the near future. read more

I have been here at least 40 times in 4 months , food is excellent and the price is awesome but let's just say they could be a lot friendlier ..... I don't know if it's because they can barely speak English or because their culture is just rude but a "hey how are you doing", or a "thank you come again", would go a long way. I deliver for Uber eats also and every time I come to pick up orders they act like they have never seen me lolol ..... very annoying .... also buffet is suppose to be served till 2:30 .... I come in at 2:17 and nothing is left on the buffet .... NOT VERY PROFESSIONAL ..... read more
