Located along the Chao Phraya river at the beautiful Shangri-La Hotel is this lovely Chinese restaurant. Upon arrival, you are immediately greeted by a lovely hostess and when you enter the restaurant you will see a large gold Chinese-style Buddha, the dominant feature of an otherwise low-key room but all the better to showcase the Chinese artworks and carvings.

Lunch offers a variety of traditional dishes, and a delectable Dim Sum buffet. There is a special 5 course and 6 course set lunch menu. There are special dinner menu selections and live seafood is also a house specialty, with red garoupa, black garoupa, sea bass and many shark's fin dishes. The Peking duck, a house specialty, is carved very delicately by a girl with white gloves, and served as two courses; crispy skin and minced meat with lettuce.

The hotel's standard wine list is very extensive. The list is arranged according to the properties of the wine, such as, "light fruity reds" and there is even a list of wines that go with Asian foods. You may select a cognac to get into the Hong Kong style or there is even a Louis XIII available at 3,000 baht per glass.

The staff is friendly and the service, as expected, is impeccable.

There are set lunch and set dinner menus and they are the most economical way to order. A la carte, of course, is not cheap as a nice dinner can cost as much as 5000 baht less wine, but this is definitely a superb quality restaurant.
