    Exceptional Chinese Cuisine in Colombo

    We've never had an experience like this anywhere else. Each dish was delicious, but the prawn dumplings and crab rice were particularly impressive—rich in flavor and expertly made. A special thanks to Shabeera, whose warm smile greeted us each time. Even during the busiest moments, she was always willing to assist us and managed to secure us a table. Her hospitality was truly remarkable. Additionally, we appreciated our server who took great care of us throughout the meal. Highly recommended—we will certainly be back!

    Disappointing Saturday Lunch Experience

    What has happened to this place? We had hoped for a pleasant Saturday lunch, but our experience was ruined. We waited over an hour for our main dishes, and by the time they arrived, we were starving and exhausted. The service was incredibly slow, and it just wasn't worth the money we spent. We are extremely disappointed.

    Fantastic dinner at Shang Palace

    We dined at Shang Palace on April 4, 2026, and the experience was outstanding. The food was exceptional, and the prices were just right. Thusith provided wonderful service, being both discreet and professional without being intrusive. I highly recommend this place!

    Excellent dim sum but uneven main courses

    Shang Palace, a Chinese restaurant within the Shangri-La Group, offers some of the finest Cantonese dim sum in Colombo. The shrimp dumplings and siu mai are particularly exquisite, and the dim sum experience is both elegant and impressive. The sea view enhances the overall charm of the place. That said, the quality of the main courses can be inconsistent; some dishes taste pre-made, and the service can fluctuate between being attentive and inattentive. With prices ranging from 5000 to over 10000 rupees per person, the roast duck and fried rice are fantastic, but the Kung Pao chicken and other Sichuan options feel overly adjusted. It's best to stick with the dim sum and steer clear of the less satisfying dishes; just be prepared for potential delays during busy times. This spot is well-suited for business gatherings or special celebrations, offering moderate value for money.

    Great dim sum but main courses falter

    Shang Palace stands out as an exceptional Chinese restaurant in Colombo, especially when it comes to its dim sum offerings. The Cantonese dim sum, particularly the shrimp dumplings and siu mai, is delightful, and the fried rice has received high praise. The restaurant features an elegant atmosphere and professional service, making for a highly regarded dim sum experience. However, opinions are mixed: some diners have reported issues with the main courses being inconsistent, service speeds varying, and even some pre-made dishes being served. Regular customers have also voiced their concerns about recent menu changes, feeling that the quality of service has declined as a result. With an average cost of 7,000-10,000 rupees per person, the value is reasonable. It's advisable to concentrate on the dim sum and try to avoid dining during peak hours. Overall, it remains a solid choice for those who love Cantonese cuisine, but it's best to keep expectations for the main courses in check.
