Vibe: Uninviting ambiance with dated decor

The ambiance can be described in two words, 'old' and 'cramped'. The place seemed to have lost its luster over the years, with regretful signs of neglect evident. Possibilities of spending a date night here are dismal given the worn-out and less than clean appearance. The only silver lining, it enjoys a fair degree of buzz in the neighborhood.

  • Okay Buzz

    Busy ambience is noted, but doesn't necessarily equate trendiness.

  • Bad Ambiance

    Old, cramped space with dirty aspects unpleasantly affects dining mood.

Perks: Lackluster perks minus easy parking

Although the parking is described as more chaotic than useful, the noise levels are comfortably neutral. The only inconvenience to an otherwise seamless experience is the reservations, where an agonizing 45-minute wait can test your patience. While Shang's Garden does cater to diets and large groups, the general consensus falls on the side of mediocre service.

  • Great For Kids

    Attentive wait staff, kid-friendly with engaging amenities for children.

  • Okay To Hear

    Not too loud for conversation, clean ambiance, but no mention of music

  • Bad Service

    Service mediocre, waitresses rude and inattentive, long waits.
