Located on the 2nd floor of the Thompson LES in New York City, Shang has perfected the adaptation of traditional Chinese for today's sophisticated palate. Guests will experience a globally-inspired menu with vibrant colors, unique presentation & bold flavors in a communal dining setting. The interior of Shang possesses a minimalist elegance while maintaining a touch of adventure reflective of Shang's Chinese cuisine. Past the lattice cut dark wood screens at the entrance to the main dining room, bold shapes & colors dominate, brightly reflected in the Italian glass tiles lining the walls of the bar. Shang bar & lounge, perfect from happy hour to night cap, serves an extensive wine, specialty drink & cocktail list to Manhattan's finest. Chinese wallpaper with erotica designs creates a tantalizing escape for those who desire a more intimate experience in the private dining area.


Tips

  • Fun Fact
    Shang is his own pastry chef, having created all the desserts himself.
  • When to Go
    Earlier is better, unless you're part of the fashionable young crowd that slams the place late.
  • Parking
    Street parking is easy most nights, but on weekends plan on using a garage.
  • What to Drink
    Try the Bee's Mash, a mix of muddled plum, Thai basil, fresh lime, wildflower honey and bourbon.

My friends and I went to Shang for dinner last night and had the most amazing experience!! The decor makes you feel like you are somewhere special, not your average restaurant. The staff was so attentive and knowledgeable! The food! The food was the best part!! I had the Rice Paper roll and the Chick Pea Onion Tempura as appetizers and OMG they were delicious!!

Shang - Avoid 7th floor bar
Reviewed by jkani on 2009-08-02T14:57:56Z

I went here last night for drinks for a birthday. It was early in the night, it was three girls. The guy in the lobby by the velvet rope (what a joke) was giving us a hard time about letting us in for a drink. Then you take the elevator up to the 7th floor where you get more attitude from another guy in front of velvet rope who acts like he's doing you a favor by letting you in. We had a few more girls join us later and then two guys. The girls got in with attitude from staff, and when the guys came we went to get them and the doorman said 'i already let in so many guys to your party already', when my friend said no you didn't i swear, he called her a liar. Then another wait staff guy came to our table to smooth things over and said b/c the waitress asked me nicely, I'll let you guys stay. My friend said to him, it's not a privelege for us to stay here and he stomped off in a tif. We had ordered several rounds, but asked for our check, left no tip, and went into the elevator. The waitress came out after us asking to talk to us for a minute. I said no we're done and will be leaving. They were so disrespectful to the bday girl and to all out friends that came up. There was never a line in the lobby to get in and the place was empty, so i don't why there was sooo much attitude from the staff there. On the way out other people were complaining about the service too. Go back to Customer Service 101. You should be kissing our behinds, not the other way around. Go somewhere else for a good time. When we asked them if our friends will be able to come up later, the staff said depends what they look like and what time it is. We left at 11:30 -12am and it was dead and we looked good. Stay away from this place. I've been going out in Manhattan for years, all the hot spots and have never been treated like this. I'd give it zero stars if I could.

Pros:

Cons: rude staff, attitude
