Shangarila Restaurant Thaniya — Restaurant in Suriyawong Subdistrict

On my last day in Bangkok, I was looking for some small eat before I headed to the airport, but stepped in this place. I was immediately amazed by the high traffic within the restaurant. They serve many transitional but delicately prepared Chinese food with visually appealing presentation. As a single diner, I was seated in a place that I could see all customers come and go and variety of dishes brought to their tables. Food quality: High. It is refreshing to have these traditional Chinese food after days of high-sugar and spicy diet in Thailand. I love Thai food. But I need something light for a break.

What you may notice, quite different from western restaurants, is that they have strictly defined roles for the staff, who are in obviously different colored uniforms. Those in black take orders, answer inquiries, prepare check and take payment. There are also lower ranked staff who are truly waiting along side and take away used plates, clean your table but do not interact with customers and strictly not serve food at all. There are also food porters who bring out dishes from kitchen to your table side. Only staff in black can move the dishes from porter's tray and present it on to your table.

I am glad that I found this classy yet inexpensive place that I enjoyed a very good meal before I...

Shangri-La Restaurant Thaniya is truly a gem for anyone who appreciates authentic Chinese cuisine with an impressive seafood selection. The ambiance is elegant, and they offer private rooms, which makes it ideal for both intimate gatherings and business meetings.

The fresh seafood here is unmatched! I highly recommend starting with the Phuket lobster sashimi—a beautiful presentation and flavor. The crab curry is another must-try, perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. Every dish we tried was exceptional, from traditional favorites to unique creations.

The service was impeccable—attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable staff made the experience even more enjoyable. Given the popularity of this place, I’d suggest booking a table in advance to avoid waiting.

Overall, Shangri-La Thaniya stands out as one of the finest Chinese dining spots in the area. I’ll definitely be back and recommend it to anyone who loves quality food and...

Once you enter the restaurant, you feel like went back to 1990s Hong Kong old restaurant, which is nothing bad, but the entrance area close to fish tank smell fishy, part of the restaurant have a bit musty smell too.

For the food, recommend dish: Peking duck Need to improve: crab meat corn soup too sweet; X.O sauce scallop the sauce is good but scallop overcooked; Mapo Tofu I really regret to order cause its not good taste.

Service staff are all very attentive. Overall, if u are looking for authentic Cantonese/Chinese Food, I would not recommend this one as there are much more other better option in town with more reasonable price. But I chose here because of location. Right in the middle of Thaniya street, easily access with BTS and have car park next door. Parking could be free with a...
