Reviews for Chef Shangri-La in North Riverside, IL
It was our first time at Chef Sangrila to celebrate the hubs birthday on a busy Saturday night. We decided to bring in a cake... and the hostess was so nice about it. No questions asked and served it to us after our meal at the end of the night. Food wasawesome and delicious but the ENTERTAINMENT WAS PHENOMENAL! It was Michael Jackson impersonator night and he did such a greatjob! The show started at 7:30pm and lasted a good hour. He changed several times and not only he sang but he danced too. He waspretty good! I was very impressed and maybe because I grew up with all of MJ's songs, I sang along every song. MJ engaged withthe crowd and during the song "Thriller" he pulled a few guest to dance the infamous zombie dance. It was soooo funny!Hahaha Everything was delicious. We ordered pot stickers, crab rangoons and beef teriyaki sticks. Crab rangoons was very meatyand not skimpy on the filling. The beef sticks was tender and flavorful. We also ordered mooshu pork, steamed white fish,Mongolian beef and chicken chow fun thick noodles. My favorite was the chicken chow fun. But everything was just wonderful andportions was huge. I had a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon and my hubby had the Dr. Fong. The entire restaurant has a tiki themedand it was such a wonderful time we can't wait to go back for the other entertainment such as Elton John, Lady Gaga, Tina Turnerand more! Read more
I truly enjoyed the food. Entertainment was excellent as "Chicago's very own Tina Turner" is featured on 1st Friday of each... month. However, I have been there 4 months in a row and only one stall in the women bathroom was working. I firmly believe thatsince it is an abundance amounts of women at the restaurant, this matter should be rectified immediately!! As seniors women wehope this issue is taking care of. Thank you in advance. Read more
We went to the restaurant and found ample parking and many people enjoying their dinners in private rooms and a large party in... one of the large rooms. Our waitress was friendly and efficient. The food from crab Rangoon ???? to my wonton soup was great. Mymain course was orange chicken which also was great. We took home complete meals for both of us! Read more
I love their service. So friendly and their food is delicious! I've been here a few times before and I always come back. I got... the lunch special they have during the week. Their food was hot and very fresh. Love their decor. I definitely have plans ofchecking out their live impersonation show. Read more
I’ve been coming here for probably 30 years with my family, and now I come in with my own children to share the family... tradition. It’s kind of like a local spot known for great cuisine and epic drink selections. (Dr. Fong) Let’s not forget theElvis nights. Recently came in for lunch with my family and it was just as fabulous as I remember. They even put the lemonchicken back on the menu. Everything was phenomenal, we indulged in this Passion Mango Shrimp and it was amazing. The calamariportion was small, which was disappointing. But overall the whole experience was pleasant. Love love love the decor especiallythe pond and tiki theme throughout the restaurant. Highly recommend this spot if you’re ever visiting Chicago it’s only afew minutes from the city. Give them all of your money Read more
Very nice restaurant operating withint safety quidelines. Servers wore masks and seated parties far apart. My friends eat meat... and drink alcohol so they all had a great time. I saw a vegetarian page of the menu and had high hopes. I thought the food wasgood but soon got a bite of meat in my tofu. I spat it out and just continued to catch up with my friends until they were doneeating. I made myself dinner when I got home.

The food was mediocre. Just like any Chinese takeout restaurant. Although the pork tasted like it was freezer burnt so I didn't... eat that. Also the cocktail I ordered was horrible. It tasted plasticy and watered down. I sent it back and they still chargedme for it. Also we ordered a meal that came in the potato basket that tasted stale. I went here a long time ago and it was waybetter. I probably won't return. All that being said the waitress was very attentive. Read more
