Shangri-La Chinese Restaurant and Take-Away in Newark and Sherwood

Lovely food and always friendly service! Only thing i would improve on would be space. It feels a little cramped in here when its busy, but it doesnt affect food or service quality!

Just poor.Starters: crispy chicken was tough, dyed red for no reason because it didnt add any seasoning. Prawn toast, hardly any prawn paste. Chicken skewers, chicken again tough, satay sauce was awful, too thick, not seasoned well. Spring rolls and seaweed was ok.Chicken and sweetcorn soup; was a nuclear yellow/orange but again no taste…Hot and sour soup; smelt really off, little bit like sewage water, heavy on the vinegar, super heavy on the chilli oil, doesnt actually taste like anything other than a spicy gloop.Sweet and sour dip was grim…cant describe it, just grim. Pretty tall order for us to not even be able to describe why something is awful considering we’re foodies and both worked as chefs in the past.Mains: rice was watery. Not jasmine rice which should be a chinese food staple. Chow mein, ordered twice, they burnt it twice, actually smelt the burnt coming off it so thats my kids dish out the window.Ordered a variety of dishes to see if any was passable:Squid in ginger and spring onion, passable.Stir fried mix vegetables, zero seasoning but passable by using salt on the table.Tofu in black bean sauce, the tofu was the dehydrated version thats been soaked in water too long, very watery, very grim.Garlic mushrooms, never seen so much garlic on a dish to not taste like garlic at all…Singapore vermicelli was good, surprised considering rice noodles burn so much easier than normal noodles….Again the egg in it looks like its been dyed bright yellow…maybe tumeric was added? But noodles were still relatively clear which is weird.Beef in black bean sauce…we would comment but the staff forgot to put order in. I guess they forgot whilst chatting loudly in a small restaurant about customers and about eating ice cream from the freezer after their shift ends.I ate most of everything considering the warning of being charged wastage…I regret it now. Luckily they missed my wife's main dish…£16 each for adults, kids under 4 were free. What a great mothers day treat aye.

This is the perfect all you can eat restaurant. This is the only place for miles that provides all you can eat. We always arrive around 7pm because then were starving after a day of only eating breakfast. Great atmosphere

Amazing place to go to, the staff are super friendly and are always very welcoming.The food is served warm and fresh and it tastes so unique!

arrived in good time that's about it......burnt chowmein other food was ok ...won't be ordering again....YUK

Food wasn't up to scratch I. E not enuff on menu certainly not a larger menu than my local Chinese takeaway and also my 70 year old mother was cold as their was no heating on and even the tap water was cold no running hot water in the toilets and the worst thing out of all is the fact your not aloud in with your guide dog. They should be ashamed.

Is expensive and bad quality, one of the sauce came less than half, looks like they put in my order a leftover sauce from someone else, they use a cheaper products to make the food and the price are high, I don't recommend this restaurant

Very disappointed, I have been there on many occasions in groups. I went in alone this evening and was told I could not have the buffet, as it was not for 1 person. I checked the menu and nowhere did it mention that there was a minimum number of people required.

Went for the buffet on the 18 October and was pleasantly surprised the food was excellent and the service was excellent.will be returning very soon. Nothing was to much for the staff,they really worked hard to please.

Love this place.We went for all u can eat buffet to finish off the 50% offer during July.Always good food. Staff very helpful and attentive. Thanks Daniel and the girl for being our waiters. I was so full I rolled out the door 😁.Had a problem with confirming table booking but all worked out ok.Vivid measures were great. I like the screens between tables. I enjoyed the privacy. I would like the screens to stay after covid.Many thanks for a lovely meal.See u again soon x
