Why go, and how to do it well
Situated on Level 2 of the Shangri-La Chiang Mai along Changklan Road, Kad Kafé is a hotel restaurant that draws both guests and outside visitors with its themed dining events, most notably a Friday evening dinner buffet and a Sunday seafood brunch. The Sunday brunch stands out for families, as it has included complimentary children's arts and crafts activities alongside swimming pool access, making it a more immersive outing than a standard meal.
Visitors can expect a polished, comfortable atmosphere consistent with the Shangri-La brand, with staff noted for personalized and friendly service. The buffet spreads feature Thai dishes and international options including sashimi and sushi, along with a variety of other selections. Experiences have varied, however — some guests praise the food presentation and variety, while others have found certain dishes underwhelming in flavor or freshness, so expectations are best set accordingly depending on the specific event or promotion on offer.
For practical planning, the restaurant is located close to Chiang Mai's Night Bazaar, making it convenient to combine with an evening in the surrounding area. Reservations are recommended, particularly for the popular Friday and Sunday buffet events, as these draw dedicated crowds. Those visiting primarily for the buffet promotions should confirm current offerings and pricing directly with the hotel before arrival, as menus and inclusions may change seasonally.

Reviews from Google
We visited twice — once for the Friday night special buffet and again for the Sunday seafood brunch, which also included complimentary kids’ arts & crafts and access to the swimming pool. The atmosphere, food, and service were all wonderful (special thanks to Benz and Mild!). We especially enjoyed the tenderloin steak cooked to order, the pistachio tiramisu, and the Tom Yum mojito cocktail. The kids were just as happy — they loved the mozzarella and tomato salad, the cheese buffet, and of course, the desserts. Highly recommended!
It was a Thai cruise buffet dinner promotion at shangri-la chiang mai. The food presentation was great. The waitress was super friendly and showcase Thai food to me. It was very personalised service with extra miles to ensure I have enjoyed my dinner. Food: huge variety amd taste good Service: excellent Atmosphere: very relaxing and good.
I have done many sunday brunch buffets, this here clearly has seen its best days. No idea why the reviews are so high. Very little selection: look at the bread station, i had to ask for jam, there was just butter. Look at the fruit and salad quality, even the roast. Not even simple tetra pack orange juice or still water included. That is a NO GO! Feels like a scan. A disgrace, I hope if there is a GM reading this they have to take action. Were Shangrila Gold members and just came for brunch. Absolute horrible!

Ice Is Safe
Factory-made tube or cylinder ice (used in virtually all restaurants and stalls) is made from purified water and is safe to consume. You don't need to skip the iced Thai tea.
Use Grab for Delivery
The Grab app works for food delivery across Thailand, letting you order from street stalls and restaurants alike. It's invaluable on rainy days or when you want to eat in your hotel.
