空空CJWe had a wonderful evening. I was invited by my girlfriend and I was surprised how special and delicious the Japanese food tasted. It's an original restaurant with a very Asian feel. You must try the miso soup, which I really liked. The only downside I think is that their restrooms are a bit outdated, but they are clean, so I don't want to deduct a star. The sushi and sashimi are delicious and fresh, don't forget to try the red, green and white 3-in-1 ice cream. Have a great time there!

KevinThey serve authentic Chinese fast food, and the restaurant is similar to the roadside restaurants in Shanghai, but the price is much higher. The shredded pork with fish flavor is very authentic, and there is also egg fried rice. It was a very satisfying meal, mainly because it satisfied my stomach.

KevinAlthough Minjiang Restaurant is opened by a Sichuanese, it serves not only Sichuan cuisine but also authentic braised dishes. The fruit wood roast duck is very authentic and is one of the specialties of this restaurant. Sichuan dishes such as Kung Pao Chicken are also very good.

KevinThis Michelin one-star dim sum shop is quite good, and the dim sum inside is quite exquisite, but the portion is generally smaller than that in China, and the price is much higher. However, there are not many Michelin dim sum shops in China.

YoukangThe favorite fast food restaurant for international students. The grilled chicken and corn are very Portuguese. Friends who like spicy food will definitely love the spicy chicken wings here. The dishes are basically simple and rough barbecue, but everyone loves it, and the price is not too burdensome.

M43***62My first dinner experience at the Shangri La was fantastic. The view, food, drinks were brilliant. We enjoyed the Asian menu and were not disappointed. The sommelier suggested an excellent bottle of wine which suited our specific tastes and paired well with our meals, followed by delicious Gummy Bear cocktails and complimentary petit fours. The service was unparalleled, and we were particularly pleased with the service from Sabrina (Waitress), Kat (Sommelier), Spiros (Assistant Restaurant Manager) and Jordeen and Chloe (Hostess). Additional thanks to Adrien and Prudence from Reception/Guest Relations for organising our evening and being helpful with queries. Overall, a very special experience.

KevinWe came here to eat mainly for the filming of Thor 2. It's very famous, but the British cooking skills are really average, and the taste is really not that good. If you come here for the taste, you can skip this place.

西行阿里The 31st floor of the Shard is a British-style western restaurant that mainly uses local British food as ingredients. You can go there for breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner, afternoon tea, or have a drink at the Bar in the restaurant. The dishes are all made from fresh local British ingredients, and the seasoning has been carefully improved. The appearance is very delicate and pleasing to the eye. The restaurant now accepts reservations for dinner and afternoon tea. If you go to the Bar, you don’t need to make a reservation. You can check the official website for the specific menu. In addition to Aqua Shard, The Shard also has the teppanyaki restaurant Oblix and a Chinese restaurant called Hutong, as well as two restaurants and bars of the Shangri-La Hotel in the building. For a detailed introduction, you can see "Recommended Restaurants and Bars in the Shard".

红妆人NefelibataI ordered beef offal mixed with rice noodles, which was so fragrant. It should be added with a little shacha sauce, peanut butter or something like that. The freshly boiled beef offal was added immediately and then some spices were added and mixed. It was served immediately with a fragrant aroma.

M43***62London is just so lucky to have Helene Darroze cooking for the culinary aficionados of this metropolis. Elegance, attention to detail, delicious food, great wine and drinks list, variety of options on no-low alcohol, vegan and vegetarian options and service ware is just stunning (Hermes for example). The combination of kitchen and dining room team is just second to none and particularly the Chef's Table is by far one of the best ambience, value for money you can find in London.
