Im 56 year old, live in Bali, have been a Golden Circle member more than 20 years, and been coming back and forth to this Shang Bosphorus for the past 9 years, today since last visit I would say is very bad!! We came to...have dinner at the Shang Palace outlet, and happened to arrive 1 hour early before it opened for dinner. I noticed they have changed the team at their restaurants outlets, two of their staff, the waiter and a lady host at Ist Too restaurant behaving not as the Shang Standard hospitality!!! One waiter was very rude and telling us we cant be seated and served at their terrace due to fully booked, and the host was stopping us not to enter the Terrace area. In fact, there were half area was empty!! When the time arrived, we then went to the Shang Palace for dinner. After a quick dinner, we found out that there were half of the seating capacity at the Ist Too terrace were still empty!! Furthermore the ladies toilet at the Lobby area, the floor was slippery and wet!!! This never been like it as it was today. I will never want to come back again.More

The food was delicious. We had a lovely experience. On a negative note our drinks came later than the starter however the waiter apologized for the wait. Must try the tea from tea master. That was an entertaining display.

As a guest of the magnificent Shangri-La Bosphorus Hotel, I couldn’t not eat with my family in the Shang Palace restaurant of the hotel. We booked the restaurant for the last evening of our stay and and I can honestly say that we closed our...holiday in beauty. Let me first say that it was my first time eating Chinese food and it was superlative! The waiter who guided us throughout the duration of the dinner was very professional, but also nice. The best I’ve ever met so far, and it’s gonna be hard to find a better one. Food was so good, we took two appetizers, two main courses, noddles and the unmissable rice. Desserts which were beautiful and delicious like anything else! It’s not over yet, in fact the bast part arrived at the end: an unforgettable artistic performance to pour the tea made by an…artist! It was amazing! In short if you want have the best Chinese food in Istanbul and an unforgettable experience, you must go to Shang Palace!More

The restaurant is in the Shangri La hotel, which itself is a well needed oasis of calm in the chaotic environment that is Istanbul! The food was outstanding and many of the dishes were excellent value. The Siu Mai and Xao Long Bao were high...lights. For main I would recommend the chicken with dried chilli and hand pulled noodles. The wine will get the bill out of control. We stuck to local beer. The bill Was £50 a headMore

The pros : excellent service, fast, efficient and attentive. Delicious food, in particular good dim sum selection. Access to an extensive wine list and good selection of spirits The cons : no windows on the outside despite being close to the Bosphorus

Been on the road for almost 2 weeks and Istanbul was the last stop so we were looking for some comfort food. I am a fan of Shang Palace (or Summer Palace) but unfortunately, it was disappointing. First thing first, we respect the local dress...code so we checked online in advance. It says no shorts or sandals, so we complied but when we were there, at least two tables came with shorts so "which is which". Nightmare ordering process as the waitress wasn't familiar with the menu and she had to check with her colleagues back and fore. In addition, she got a few of orders wrong starting with the soups; then followed by the Peking duck (2 ways) and it came with a plate of roast duck. Then Peking duck came with the wraps only, she didn't order the 2nd way which was supposed to come with minced duck meat and lettuce. Overall, the food is so so, so don't expect a real Chinese food experience. Service is fine and staff were polite and apologetic to what had happened. Perhaps, the manager or senior staff should have taken over the ordering process rather than leaving it to an inexperienced staff. It wasn't a good experience.More

Following a spectacular Chinese meal at a five star hotel in Cairo I thought I would get lucky again in Istanbul. Unfortunately not. The restaurant is nice inside and the staff is dressed in fine Chinese silks. But the fun ends quickly. The service is...incompetent with multiple waiters battling to accomplish nothing. The food was poor. Peking duck very disappointing. Everything else was sorely lacking. Looked good but tasted lousy.More
