Shangri-La Restaurant is one of the best dim sum spots in Metro Detroit, in my opinion. Service is good, food is always hot, and is consistently good, definitely a reliable choice. Inside feels very nostalgic with decorations, especially being inside of a mall. It's one of my favorite Sunday morning go-tos after a night out. I usually order the har gow, siu mai, spare ribs, and the Chinese donut wrapped in rice noodle (so delicious). And of course, their BBQ buns and pastries are a must. Overall, a great option for dim sum in the area! 4/5 read more

Shangri-La - Dim Sum Near Me - West Bloomfield, Michigan

On 6/15/26 I called in a pickup order. I asked for a dish with only bok choy and chicken due to food allergies. I was told that it would be made that way. I got home and opened the food and it was filled with vegetables I was allergic to. I called and spoke with the person I ordered from they confirmed that it should've been made with only bok choy and was told to come back and get the correct food. I asked on this phone call if I would need to bring the food that was made incorrectly back they assured me I didn't. Then less than 10 minutes later called me back and said that the kitchen didn't think they made a mistake and to bring back the food to prove they were wrong. I came back with the receipt and incorrectly made item and inquired as to why they switched up in less than 10 minutes no response was given. Then a woman who I believe to be an owner opened up the food and started sifting through it with a spoon telling me what the vegetables were. Once I again reminded them that, that still isn't what I ordered she finally remade the food and made me wait again as they didn't have the correctly made meal ready as they promised me on both phone calls. This incident also violates Rule 3-306.14 of the Michigan Food Safety Code as well. I have been a loyal customer of Shang-ri La's Midtown and West Bloomfield location even during COVID and to be treated this way was pretty devastating. read more

Stopped by Shangri-La for lunch and was surprised to find dim sum on the menu. Hadn't had any since Wong's Eatery in Windsor closed. There was a nice assortment. I ordered Shui Mai, Fried Shrimp Balls and Steamed Pork Dumplings. Everything was delicious but the Shui Mai could have been a bit warmer. The menu isn't your usual Chinese-American fare. With offerings of pork buns, soup dumplings, squid, tripe and chicken feet, it seems more authentic Chinese cooking. I can't complain about the service. I got seated right away and my waitress was attentive and served me my food in short order. The atmosphere of the restaurant was pleasant. The second room has a beautiful stained glass dome and the entire place is nicely decorated with paintings and sculptures. All in all, it was a very pleasant experience. I will definitely be returning. read more

It has been way too long since my last visit! Outstanding hot & sour soup, dim sum, and beef with Chinese veggies. In terms of Dim Sum, we ordered [scallop w parsley, deep fried shrimp balls, beef rice roll, bean curd, sticky rice stuffed with Chinese sausage, pan-fried corn cake, pork pan fried dumplings, and finally got the durian pastry]. A feast! All was outstanding! read more

We came here for Dim Sum for my niece's birthday. Unlike how it was in the past when the servers came around with carts for you to pick from, you choose what you want from a menu, the way you order sushi. I let others choose what we should have; except for spice, I'm not picky. It was only ok. I didn't care for the texture of a lot of it, as most of the meat seemed to be boiled, and the wrappings seemed a bit slimy and rubbery. And, we couldn't really tell which items were which, as everything tasted similar. It was ok, but nothing was outstanding. Even the tea was pretty weak. But, the service was good. I don't know how much Dim Sum usually costs, but for 4 of us eating it, 1 soup and 1 appetizer + one regular entree, the bill was just under $200. That seems very expensive to me, especially for mediocre Chinese food. read more

My favorite Dim sum please throughout Metro Detroit. Rice rolls, Mongolian beef, eggplant, sesame balls, shrimp friend rice all so good. This is a must try for authentic Chinese food.

A few years ago they went to offering dim sum anytime they're open - yes!! No carts, but you can order anything off the dim sum menu now. Our favorites remain Sticky Rice Wrapped, Fried Shrimp Balls, Shui Mai, Small Pork Dumplings (these are soup dumplings - be careful with these or your soup will be on the table), Sesame Balls, etc. When I'm feeling special (ok, when am I not, but I digress), we order the Spicy Salted Shrimp or Squid. I love the Chinese Broccoli. They get busy, sometimes you even have to wait. But it's worth it. I saw them on Door Dash and will keep this in mind when I'm lazy but want dumplings. read more

Extremely authentic Chinese American Cuisine! My girlfriend and I have been craving a space that gives us that China town ambience, this place has everything. Lots of very delicious dim sum options which you cant find everywhere, we considered this a lucky find! Menu had jelly fish, chicken feet, tripe, white lotus buns, all the good stuff. Staff was very quick and kind, had us seated patiently and food came out at a typical pace. I will absolutely be coming back, it completely cured my New York sadness! Not to mention the building is beautiful, photos attached! Highly recommend! read more

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. read more

My kids love this place! The ambience is so fun for them; they call it the "dragon restaurant " because of the dragon painted on the ceiling. Dim sum is fun and tastes great, however it does add up quick price wise. read more

Awesome staff! Amazing food! Could not have asked for a better experience! It was a little pricey compared to other, less prestigious establishments in the area, but well worth the price! I will be ordering all my Chinese takeout exclusively from here, from now on. Thank you! read more

Promptly seated. Packed with people at lunchtime. Many Asians eating there, made us think it must be pretty authentic. Everything was very tasteful. Could taste chicken in wonton soup, no watered down broth. Everything was served hot. Excellent hot tea, not watered down. Perfect seasonings on all dishes. Even the fried wontons for soup were yummy. Generous portions. Nice crunch to almond chicken. We'll be back! read more

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. read more

I tried this place on a whim one afternoon. Service was good. Place was nice and clean. Not a lot of people there at the time. I ordered General Tso's chicken and an upgrade of shrimp fried rice and asked if there were scallions in the rice. The host informed me that there weren't. The price of scallions is "too expensive" to even add to the dish. My food didn't look that appetizing as the rice looked and tasted greasy and the shrimp were large and imposing in the rice and made the rice unappealing to my palette. The chicken looked hard. My husband said the chicken was "chicken skin". I think I got two broccoli spears. I say "I think" because I believe there was only one. I would really like to say I would return to this restaurant and I wouldn't totally count it out but consciously or intentionally, probably not. read more

Rice was cold, fruit flies, waitresses were not very kind. Orange chicken was ok, not a lot of flavor. Egg roll had very little taste read more

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) read more

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!! read more

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. read more

We came here because my sister-in-law from out of town was looking for the best almond boneless chicken around and we were hoping this would be it. While the chicken itself was very good, the gravy that goes on top of it was kind of watery. And tasteless. I got a scallop with snap peas dinner and there were hardly any scallops in it for $25. I was a bit disappointed. My sister got a fried noodle seafood meal, which I never tried but again it didn't seem like it had much in the way of the sea food - it had lots of noodles!! We also got the sizzling rice soup and that was actually very tasty. We all got eggrolls that were very tasty. read more

I did a carry out here for a combination sweet and sour chicken dinner. I thought it tasted pretty good. The chicken was not over cooked. The egg roll was good too. I liked that they provided the sweet and sour sauce on the side, so everything was still crispy by the time I got home. I had an issue with their online ordering system, but I called the restaurant and placed an order that way. Hopefully the online ordering works in the future. I gave them 4 stars because I think their prices are a little high. They have the best chinese food I've found in this area, so I'd probably still go back. read more

I went to Golden Phoenix but decided to leave. I went to Shangri-la instead and it did not disappoint. I am visiting from Arizona. We don't have good Chinese there. I grew up in WB.

Finally found legit Chinese food in MICHIGAN. Struggle has been real, but glad I can have some good dim sum and more. This restaurant is not fancy.

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. read more

Shangri-La - Dim Sum Shu Mei, shrimp, Stuffed Eggplant and Pork buns - Dim Sum Near Me - West Bloomfield, Michigan

We enjoyed our lunch here on Friday. Eric R. always wants dim sum since it is not available where we live, and this was a very short drive from our friend's house in the area where we stayed. We came at lunchtime and were immediately seated. Water and tea showed up right away. We took a look at the menu and filled out the order sheet. Five of the six items we ordered showed up fairly quickly, and the dessert item came after. It was very efficient and impressive! Eric R. ordered soup dumplings and steamed BBQ pork buns for himself. He liked the buns but not the soup dumplings, which were cold and did not come with ginger or black vinegar, or a spoon for that matter. I ordered garlic chive pancake which I shared with him. They were very hot and tasty! I also got the shrimp stuffed eggplant which was served with green onions in a savory sauce. I also ordered the shrimp kau (shrimp dumplings) which were also very tasty and served at four per order so we each had 2. We asked for chili oil which we got immediately to enjoy with our dumplings. Soy sauce was already on the table. My dessert were the steamed egg yolk buns. They were super hot and delicious, though very sweet. My dad would have loved these! We also thought the prices were really good here. read more

Fabulous REAL Chinese food! Dim Sum like we ate on mainland China. Congee is amazing. All so good and huge portions.

Great authentic Dim Sum restaurant they get busy fast especially on the weekends. If you have a large party make sure you make a reservation. We love the variety of dishes however since COVID they do not bring the dim sum carts around so you have to do all your ordering at one time so it can be hard to figure out how many items you should get. read more

A hidden gem located in the Orchard Mall. A bit pricey but worth every penny. Dim Sum all day. Curbside pickup available. Cantonese +. Dinner combos are $17 and include egg roll and fried rice. Specialize in live seafood. Owner born in Thailand of Chinese parentage. Our soft shell crab spicy appetizer $9 arrived lukewarm and was returned to the kitchen. It was ok but nothing more. The hot and sour soup was average and not worth the $4. The Grouper with black bean sauce $23 was perfectly cooked and flakey and tender. Hunan beef $21, the meat was soft and tender and vegetables fresh and cooked Al dente. Szechaun chicken $19 was mildly spiced yet delicious. Chicken was very tender and the vegetables were fresh, all sauces were light and flavorful and savory. Good venue when you want a special meal and are willing to pay for it. $$$ Recommended.. read more

It is very hard to find a good dim sum place. Believe me, I have tried in a couple of cities. Maybe I am a little picky, but EBS taught me well. I haven't had any dim sum since the pandemic started and had been here a few years ago with a Chinese Meetup group. Decided to give them another try. With the pandemic, you don't have dim sum on a cart, but can order off the menu. The menu is on the table with pictures in both English and Chinese. It is under plastic cover on the table. You mark what you want on a sheet with the prices. Everything is cooked to order by a chef that is either from Hong Kong or trained there. That shows in the quality. They do have more than dim sum if you are only use to what Americans call Chinese food. Everything I ordered was what I expected. The Chive dumplings is different than China Palace, but not bad. It was just as good warmed up the next day. I get the shrimp dishes like shrimp har how, shrimp rice rolls, and any other shrimp listed. The service was good and the dinning room set up for safety. Soy sauce in packets not the normal small bottles. I look forward to coming back and for my diet, it is too close for home. Prices more than reasonable. read more
