Let me start by saying HELL YEA just for the wasabi itself.. damn near burned my brain up! That's the kind of heat I'm talking about! Usually I order extra wasabi from spots cuz it's not too hot.. Test it here first, lol. Was at Lodi Street Fest & stopped in. I ordered Dad's & Crunch Roll. Rolls were excellent, and with the wasabi heat.. Perfection! Pull up! read more

Food was okay overall. The sesame chicken was a little different than what I'm used to, I was expecting breaded strips like most Japanese restaurants serve. That said, the young host and server were incredibly friendly and kind, which really stood out and made the experience sweet. I'll be back, but I may skip the bento box next time and try more of the Chinese dishes instead. They also take Apple Pay, which is definitely a plus. read more

From the Yelp reviews, I didn't see too many people order chirashi at this restaurant so I decided to try it. I am so glad I did! It came out pretty quickly and the portion is so generous. The fresh thick slices of sashimi were more than enough to fill me up. The sushi rice was lightly seasoned and went well. At the end, I only ate about half the rice (because I usually eat smaller than average portions) and had to take a break before stuffing the last 3 pieces of sashimi in my stomach. The price was extra reasonable and certainly more than enough food for me. The agedashi tofu (not pictured) had more of a panko breading (instead of a light wet batter) and this made it a little heavier of a dish for me. My friends ordered a handroll, a bento box, and a singapore fried noodle. The singapore noodle was also gigantic and delicious, according to them. Overall this was a great place for a casual dinner. In this little town of Lodi, this was certainly a surprise find. read more

Shangri La - Chirashi 01/2025 - Sushi Bars Near Me - Lodi, California

So for my nieces birthday we went here to celebrate, large group of about 24 people. It was a Friday night, but they let us make a reservation and sat everyone down quickly as they came in. With the amount of people in our group the service was on point! Quick to bring out the food, drinks, refills, anything we needed. The food was amazing, I had the teriyaki chicken bento box, so I got a little bit of everything, perfect amount of food and reasonably priced. Others had sushi rolls, the volcano roll was the favorite. Some had prawns, edamame, a little bit of everything. No one complained about their food, including the kids. Place has nice decor, full bar, and clean. Will definitely be back, and highly recommend. My 9 yr old niece told me "you need to give them a good review." And I sure am lol read more

Ambiance- The decor has not changed since they opened the business ages ago. However, it's always clean. There are tv's in the bar area with either sports or news available for watching. They can accommodate large groups as well. Service- Always good. Have never had a bad experience. Food- A wide variety of food, limited if you are gluten free or have food sensitivities. Some dishes can be made with rice noodles, but may run into issues with sauces. Generally, the food is on the saltier side, but there is still so much to choose from. They do have decent prices for Happy Hour drinks. read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE! The food is delicious and beautifully platted! The staff is friendly, welcoming, and very engaging. We've always had a wonderful experience, and do our family gatherings and birthday parties there too! The drinks are tasteful and presented well! I highly recommend this restaurant for the best sushi in Lodi, CA. read more

Not understanding the mixed reviews. Maybe I came by on a good day but the food is fantastic. Got the tuna ceviche, stuffed mushrooms, and a few rolls. Each was super fresh and delicious. Also got some standard Chinese fare, Mongolian Beef and Sechzuaun chicken... both were solid. Service was excellent as well, we were greeted warmly and seated quickly. Food came out not long after ordering and plated quite nicely. Ambience is nothing special but it is cozy and comfortable. Looking forward to going back soon. Cheers read more

It's such a beautiful day that we decided to drive out to Lodi from Elk Grove to try this restaurant and I'm glad we did because everything we ordered was so good. We ordered the fried agedashi tofu which was so good I didn't even get a picture lol. The tuna ceviche with wonton chips was 10/10. You can also order this as a sushi roll. The Warrior roll and Lion King roll were also really good because they were really flavorful. My favorite thing about the rolls were that they were cut perfectly to the size that would fit in your mouth. I hate it when I have to bite into a sushi roll lol. The service was also 10/10 as the staff were attentive and always checked on us with everything we needed. This is important for us because we have two young children who always need SOMETHING. If you know, you know. We got the crème brûlée for dessert and the top was torched which my daughter loved because it had a bit of the crunchy sugar. Perfect for her to run out that sugar around downtown Lodi on a beautiful Saturday. We will definitely be back! read more

I think for the price, this place is overall good. We ordered the honey walnut shrimp, chow fun, pan fried noodle, spicy tofu soup, chicken fried rice. It was for 5 of us. The pan fried was exactly what I envisioned. I thought the noodles would be dry and crunchy af with the gravy but it was soft. All good though, just a heads up, it was still good. Service was really nice and attentive. Also I like the spicy soup. It was actually spicy but just enough before it was overwhelming. It might be spicy for a lot of people (in this area) if ya catch my drift lmaooo. But if you can hang, try it because its delicious! And this is coming from someone who just recently started eating spicy! The ambiance is really nice too. They got projectors and TVs playing all kinds of sports and what not. There's a wider restaurant seating area and then there's a bar. Pretty big restaurant - didn't expect that. I'd say its worth bringing the family here if y'all are in Lodi craving some Asian! read more

Was looking forward to going here for my birthday. We waited in line and were ignored. People kept cutting the line. The person seating people was disorganized and we eventually left. The owners need to let staff know to welcome customers and have a system for seating people. read more

We always enjoy our meal at Shangri la. They have very good service, their staff is very friendly. Their atmosphere is very relaxing and also great if you're a sports fan. They always have sports on in the bar, it's nice to have a bite and keep up on the scores. read more

We used to dine here pretty often many years ago, management fell off a bit then. After some downtown festivities we decided to grab a quick dinner. We can definitely do without the rolls, it was mediocre for both Dan Dan noodles was actually the hit!!! It was extremely delicious! Service and staff was attentive, they were busy but we had two young gentlemen check on us frequently. Restaurant is a bit dim. read more

Their food is good but when I get Sushi their seaweed is always chewy and I don't like that. Other than that, everything else is fine.

This place used to be good. We hadn't been for a long time, but decided to go there for dinner. Big mistake. First off, the hot tea was barely lukewarm and we told the server and she said it would take 20 minutes to get hot water. Our sushi roll came and I couldn't believe how small it was compared to a few years ago. It did not taste fresh. The soup and the rest of the dishes came at the same time - all barely lukewarm. We told the server three times, she offered to heat it up in the microwave. We were hungry and just ate it anyway. The bill came and it was $80. We asked for a discount because the food was cold and she said she couldn't do that. We asked to speak to the manager. He wouldn't come talk to us and told the server no discount. Of course we paid the bill and left. Terrible experience. read more

On my recent trip to California, I visited and had lunch with my dear friend. She wanted to try Shangri La located in historic downtown Lodi which creates a friendly and inviting environment. Once inside we were greeted promptly and enjoyed a nice environment, friendly/efficient service. The food selection was very fresh and good trying- Thai Spicy Tofu, Honey Walnut Prawns as well as Sweet and Sour Chicken and one other dish with white rice. All the food arrived together, and it was evident very fresh and delicious!! When I'm in California and the Lodi area I will definitely go back!! read more

staff was friendly and service was great, but overall the food was pretty mediocre. we started with the crazy edamame (fifth slide) and were not impressed. they were supposedly soy sauce tossed, but tasted and looked very plain. they had a tiny hint of spice, but no flavor. i've never seen edamame done this way and was super surprised when they came out. the rolls and roe were fine, not bad but also not our favorite. the orange chicken was not how we remembered it tasting (it's been years since we've been here) and we were disappointed in that. again, not bad just not amazing either. the mongolian beef was good and my second favorite dish behind the szechuan style green beans which were good and pretty spicy! by pretty spicy i mean we actually were really spiced out. the chow mein was good, but i wish it had a little more flavor. the food came with white rice which we didn't know and were happy to see. the portions were pretty big which is standard when the food is family style. for the portion size the prices were also pretty standard compared to other local asian restaurants. we were super bummed that this place wasn't what we remembered it to be. read more

Love me some Shangri La. This is my go to sushi spot. Whether it's dine in or a to go order they always make my food the best! I always get two spicy tuna hand rolls, and an order of the salmon nigiri and the hamachi nigiri with jalapeño. I also love love their key lime tini & all their other tinis are delicious as well (a bit strong but that's the point. You have one drink and you're good to go LOL.) I love the lighting in their I do prefer a darker ambient. I wish they played some light music though that would take the experience to another level. Regardless, I love it here. read more

Had a date night with my husband tonight, the food was fabulous. The service was good. We were finishing our second drink when we paid our bill, immediately after paying in cash with a 25% gratuity we were asked to move to a smaller table so they could seat a large party the restaurant was empty where the party could have been seated. We have never been asked to move in any restaurant and thought that was the rudest we have ever been treated. we left immediately without even finishing our drinks that we paid dearly for. read more

I've been here many times and love the variety of the food for the price however today I was disappointed by the Teriyaki beef. It tasted purely of charcoal and was too chewy to swallow. We sent the dish back and went on to enjoy the rest of the meal. Until we received the bell and they refused to remove the price of the dish saying that we ate over 50% of the dish. However I took a picture of the dish before the meal and right before we sent it back and as you'll see we did not take over 50% of the plate. I was disappointed and will not be returning. read more

Shangri La is a lovely spot in Lodi that offers plates and options for everyone. Love coming for sushi rolls and their dinner bentos. I always enjoy the Sashimi bento and it's plenty of food. My partners favorite roll is the Warrior roll and I like the Mom and the Saigon. Add a Luck Dragon to top off a perfect meal. Servers are always nice and attentive. I prefer sitting near the bar area as it feels livelier, but the dining room offers a more intimate atmosphere. read more

Shangri La - Delicious miso? soup - Sushi Bars Near Me - Lodi, California

I've been sporadically going here for years. The rolls were some of the first sushi that I ever had! Unfortunately, today was a bit of a let down. We got there about twenty minutes after opening and the first to be seated. We ordered our drinks, appetizers, and entrees very quickly. The first two came quickly. Our cheese crab fritters and calamari were mostly breading and lacked the filling that makes them so appealing to begin with. My main issue, however, came with how long the wait was for food. 30 min-45 min is pretty standard, but not when everyone around you has gotten there after you, has been served before you, and has larger orders than you. The table next to us ordered a poke bowl and four different rolls after us, and yet we got our order after the four tables who came in after us had gotten theirs. Server was attentive with drinks. Actuall food was sort of meh. The Mom's roll, however, was very good, especially with the addition of spicy tuna read more

Food had good flavor. Tons of items to choose from. Some items were repetitive. Was not impressed with the drinks. There is a wait time due to being understaffed. Server we had was good. Ordered a few rolls that had good flavor. Projector TV was off centered during the game. That sucked. I would return to try other items. Location is nice for an after dinner walk. read more
