  “Popped in on our last day of our London adventure and got to sit at the bar and enjoy the view. Drinks were a bit pricy, but I really enjoyed my cocktail and the red wine was lovely! Jonathan behind the bar was also very kind, being very friendly and welcoming!”

  “Beautiful view and a large selection of drinks. Service is excellent. However when busy you will need to wait at a temporary table in the center until a table with a view is available.”

  “We had such a great experience at GŎNG. The cocktails were absolutely amazing — beautifully presented, tasted incredible, and the whole atmosphere and views made it even more special. A massive thank you to Jon, who looked after us throughout our visit. He was genuinely one of the nicest and most attentive waiters we’ve had. He made us feel really welcome, was friendly and professional, and went out of his way to make sure we were having a great time. It was my 30th birthday as well, and Jon’s service really helped make the evening feel special and memorable. Amazing cocktails, incredible views and outstanding service. We’ll definitely be coming back. Thank you again, Jon!🙌🥂”

  “Disappointing birthday experience - paying for the view, not the quality. I booked TĪNG/GÖNG to celebrate my friend’s birthday. We were completely fine with the £30 per person minimum spend, provided the food and drinks reflected that value. Unfortunately, spending approximately £50 on two drinks that were virtually undrinkable was incredibly disappointing. I initially ordered a custom spicy margarita, explaining exactly how I wanted it made (sweet and spicy with chili, not cardamom and clove). The waiter confidently insisted he knew exactly what I meant rather than checking with the bartender, and suggested a mango margarita instead. When it arrived, the drink was actually warm, despite having a large ice cube in it. It was easily the worst cocktail I’ve ever been served, and we had to send them back. A second waiter kindly offered to have the bartender fix them, but the replacements were just as bad. We ultimately switched to standard spicy margaritas, but even those arrived at room temperature. To make matters worse, the service was incredibly inattentive. Despite the bar being quiet, it took 15–20 minutes just to catch a waiter's eye. The lack of basic hospitality completely ruined what was supposed to be a special celebration. We actually had a dinner reservation booked as well, but after this experience, we politely declined to stay for food. We ended up going to Plants of Roselyn on Tooley Street instead, where we had three fantastic cocktails that were three times cheaper and paired with a brilliant experience. It felt like TĪNG/GÖNG is solely relying on the Shard's view rather than providing the luxury standard they charge for. Management seriously needs to train staff to actively listen to customers rather than pretending to know what they want.”

  “Every time in London we come here. Best viewing spot to see London’s landscape. Didn’t try any food as we came for the fancy cocktails and they hit the spot. Very crafty and artistic. Drinks are priced for the atmosphere. All the walls are glass even the restroom 🥹. We had a great time. I say check it out.”

  “A huge thank you to the wonderful Andrea for her incredible customer service on Saturday night. She was so accommodating of me and my partner (who is a bit nervous of heights!) and went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and had the best experience. The rest of the staff were very friendly and attentive. The drinks were lovely and fresh, and the views were, of course, breathtaking. A very special place!”

  “Visited Gong at the Shangri-La in London and came away feeling that people mainly go for the view rather than the overall experience. The skyline views are impressive, but beyond that it didn’t really justify the price point. The seating was fairly uncomfortable, especially given that we were only allowed to stay for an hour and a half. The sushi was decent but nothing extraordinary, and the champagne pricing was honestly hard to justify. For three people, a bottle of champagne and sushi came to around £400. I also had a cocktail at £22, drinkable, but definitely not memorable. The staff were polite and professional, but the service itself wasn’t particularly memorable either. Overall, I wouldn’t personally recommend it, mainly because there are far better options in London where you’ll get much better food, comfort and value for money while still enjoying a great atmosphere.”

  “Awesome views and great service. Sushi was good but not the best I've had. Would definitely return as such a unique spot.”

  “Come for the view. Stay for the cocktails and champagne. Booked a premium view seat with a bottle of Veuve Rose Champagne and sushi. Service was fantastic. Very friendly and attentive people. My glass of champagne NEVER went dry. ;). Our sever was perfect. View of course was the highlight. Music was good. Consistent with the mood. Sushi was ok. Not as we had expected. The soy sauce was awful. How could this be? Why cheapen the meal with crappy soy sauce?”

  “This cocktail bar offers quite delicious sushi. You probably will get one of the best stunning views in a city, friendly staff, and great atmosphere, making it ideal for special occasions or dating. That was our 2nd visit, a bit overpriced , but definitely worth the visit.”
