The food and drinks were fine, but not great. The service was a bit slow. We had a to call the waiter several times since she would seem to forget to check in with us. The best part was the view. We had a nice table by the window.

Amazing views, service impeccable, Negroni tip top, spenny but that should not be a surprise given the location.

Wow, what a birthday treat! Everyone at Gong was lovely and attentive. The queue system for getting a window seat was explained to me and it did not take long before I was moved to the stunning scenery. The drinks were divine and I enjoyed a moreish sharing platter by myself (the perfect amount of food if you were starving like me!) Finally, I appreciated the free birthday cocktail shot that I got alongside another couple celebrating a birthday. Was very festive.

We had cocktails at the Gong bar for a special occasion and the staff were amazing. The cocktails were special. We had asked for a window seat and had the most fantastic view of the river and Tower Bridge. Everyone we me, from the doormen, security and bar staff wished us a happy birthday (it was a joint b'day). It was a very special experience.

Une expérience absolument incroyable au restaurant Le Gong du Shangri-La à Londres ! Chaque plat était une explosion de saveurs, et je peux dire sans hésitation que c'était le meilleur restaurant japonais de ma vie. Les sushis étaient d'une fraîcheur exceptionnelle, et le service, irréprochable. Seul petit bémol : le prix du cocktail à 26 livres n'était pas affiché, ce qui a été une surprise. Cela dit, la qualité et l'élégance de l'expérience en valaient vraiment la peine. Je recommande vivement ce lieu pour un moment gastronomique inoubliable !
