Come during lunch in the Winter and anytime during the Summer to see great views over London from the 33rd floor, ask for a window table if available. The dim sum is fresh, authentic , and tasty!

Thrillist

The cocktails include vodka-fueled Rose Cherry , a Dragon Pearl whose ginger & lemongrass are mixed w/ actual dragon fruit , and one r w/ lychee liquor , Sichuan pepper honey , and a Sichuan pepper rim. Read more

Best roasted duck in London I must say. The duck will be carve in your table. The skin is super crispy and the meat is juicy and delicious. The bun is very good too. I'm highly recommend this place.

Stavria K.

The most amazing London view.but!communicating with the waitress was so difficult as she denied speaking anything than Chinese! So not only i tasted amazing dumplings and duck ,I learnt the language

Sarah Aln

The atmosphere and the view . Make sure to have table near by the window. The food was delicious (vegetables spring rolls , prawns rolls , 1/2 roasted duck and fried noodles with seasonal vegetables ).

Emma Binning

Book early and ask for a table at the window for magnificent views . Cuttlefish salad , monkfish soup , scallop and prawn wontons , roasted Peking duck pancakes , Sichuan style Lobster are all fantastic!

Atmosphere, mood, presentation, interior, taste, service are very well together so that I really enjoyed every min. Instead of the signature menu we got their recommendations and they were fantastic.

London's finest Chinese restaurant located at The Shard.The cocktails are superb ,the braised sliced beef in aged vinegar and ginger sauce is delicious! but the the crispy de-boned lamb was greasy !

Gabe X J Sherliker

Worth a visit if not just for the view . Soft shell crab was delicious. Would go again, especially to the cocktail bar . "Taoist Blossom" was excellent. Enjoy whilst surveying the London skyline.

Roman Mittermayr

The views are amazing. You can just walk up to the cocktail bar , without a reservation though. Always pick the shared peking duck . Don't think twice.

Becky Jagger

Great decor and fantastic view . Came for set lunch on a Saturday and definitely left feeling satisfied!

Hamad R

Amazing food and service! Choose a table with a view ! Stick to all the signatures dishes like the Peking duck and the lamb . Sublime :)

Arturo B

8/10 Good for specials occasions . Great views of London. Enjoyed very much the iberico pork dumplings and the seafood fried rice .

Jenya S

Peking duck , softshell crab , scallop carpaccio . Beautiful atmosphere but surprisingly uncomfortable chairs! Staff was a bit arrogant and also gave some misleading GF-related info contrary to the menu

Yan T

Food is lovely and the views are amazing on a good day, but service can be a little slow, especially with a two-hour turn-round on the table.

Ezgi K

View is not as good as Aqua Shard's but the food they serve is very tasty. Definitely I will go there again. "Crispy prawn rolls " is higly recommended for starter.

James Bates

You're paying a premium for the location. Food is good but not awesome.

Madalina Florescu

Amazing view ! The beef is one of the best ????

Ardeshir Patel

Crabs and the peking duck are a must. I was disappointed in the service small example in the picture with desert forks were just dumped on the table. Not expected from a restaurant of this calibre.

Benni Prinz

Good high end Chinese, but the views make it worth while

Andrew O BC 翁

Great Chinese foods and delicious indeed

Mark Jansen

Good food, better views !

Josh ????☢

Truly awful old fashioned. Food had good flavor but tiny portions, not really enough to share. You’re paying for breathtaking views and breathtakingly overpriced Sichuan .

Bobby Ray

Bartender was super nice and friendly .

Antonio Jubar

Good Chinese restaurant

Ok food, amazing amazing views .

Ali B

Nice view , awful service: we asked twice for the bill, menu, coffee . The wrong drink was brought, wine glasses not cleared... I wouldn't have minded so much if the bill wasn't £160 with £19 service.

Shayndi Raice

The views are great. That's about it. Food is really terrible. Our meat looked and tasted like it was three days old and they just put some sauce on top hoping we wouldn't notice. Service terrible too

Tony Mistry

Great views , food and value
