What People Are Saying About Shangri-La 120

In Short – Modern Asian best describes the decor, accented by the low-level sounds of new age music. A full-service sushi bar, separate smoking-allowed bar area and private dining rooms all assist in breaking up the immense size of the dining area, imbuing it with a cozier air. The overwhelming menu reflects influences from throughout the continent. To start, stick with the better-than-average sushi selection and bypass the predictable appetizers.

Avoid Sunday Lunch Buffet, Go Early on Friday/Saturday Evenings

by lisanova22

On our first trip, we had a WONDERFUL meal! The food was really excellent! This was a Saturday evening.

We went to the Sunday lunch special and the food was not great. It seemed like (and maybe it was) leftovers from the previous nights. Not great.

I'd recommend that you go on a Friday or Saturday evening. It's a little bit overpriced, but the food is good.

  • Pros: Good food, Nice Ambience
  • Cons: Sunday buffet

They should be ashamed to call themselves a Japanese restaurant with they food they serve. Clearly it isn't Japanese. A mix of asian is more like it. And the prices? Definately not worth it! There are much better Japanese restaurants in the area that are reasonably priced.

Good experience for lunch

by mem_123

I have had lunch here on two different occasions. On both occasions, they were able to accommodate me quickly, without a reservation. I thought food was excellent and the prices were fair. Service was just ok, not overly friendly. The waiter had difficulty describing the food in english, which was kind of a bummer.
