Great experience and absolutely stunning location with the best views in London. Went for a special birthday and we felt very special! Extremely friendly and efficient staff throughout our 1.5hr stay. Yes, it’s pricey but so worth it.

Booked a slot for 1.5 hrs at lunchtime and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. As a one off with friends we splashed out on a bottle of fizz at a whopping £125. Coo eee very pricey but hey ho you only live once. Didn’t get an excellent because I thought our female server was not friendly at all!! In fact a bit surly. If visiting there is a min 30 pound per head spend per person.

We had a lovely table with amazing views on the 52nd floor of the Shard. We did not prebook a table as we went early. They do not have a paper menu you are presented with a QR Code to scan to get the drinks menu. The service was very slow and not what I was expecting at a 5 star hotel. I had to go up to the bar as we wanted to order drinks and same to oder the bill as no waiter was in sight. To get someone’s Attention was impossible. Cocktails are min. £25 plus 15% service charge, which is added automatically to the bill even so the service is poor. You are paying for the view. It’s lovely for a special occasion. The ambience could be improved with some nice background music. Don’t expect good service but enjoy the views.

Very nice spot for a drink, amazing views and nice ambience. Prices for drinks are higher than your regular pub, but overall in line with more upscale cocktail bars and cheaper than a visit to the Shard sky terrace. I'd consider it good value for money overall. The place is in demand so you might need to leave the table. We were welcomed to the bar to continue our stay. Recommended if you want to have a nice drink with someone and enjoy an amazing view - probably not if you want to get drunk.

We were celebrating a special birthday and booked, you must book because we actually saw people being turned away. Great views, expensive cocktails average around £30 plus service, we sat by the window and a had two rounds of drinks, did not feel rushed, a fantastic view and quick service. We enjoyed the evening but as some other reviewers have said the food menu was not really enticing. Big disappointment was the standard of the toilets, chipped marble sink and cheap handwash in stainless steel containers, like at a service station. Come on Gong you can do better than that.

Cocktails at Gong was to be the finale of an epic, surprise birthday trip arranged by my student daughter. After being greeted with 'happy birthday' when we entered the Shard and then at the bar we were shown to a window seat with amazing views. Before ordering the waiter came over and apologised saying there'd been a mix up with the cake and would I be happy with vanilla instead and they'd waive the charge. My daughter works in a restaurant and told him not to worry it wasn't the end of the world. Our cocktails arrived but no cake. Because of the £30 minimum charge per person the now 'free' cake meant we'd not met the threshold. After a wait to order, round 2 arrived but still no cake. We slowly sipped our second drinks joking they're going to come out with a cake any minute now but after nearly 2 hours we agreed it wasn't coming and asked for the bill. I went to the ladies, passing the original waiter and when I returned to our table we saw him go past carrying what looked like a scoop of ice cream. A few minutes later a waitress plonked it down on the table saying here's your cake then returned with 2 small plates, no sorry, no happy birthday, no apology, nothing. For a 5* venue the experience was marred by the poor customer service. My daughter was upset that the day she'd planned was spoiled - the cake was especially important to her because my husband always forgets now she's not at home to remind him and throughout the day kept saying 'don't worry there'll be cake'. BTW the mouthful we got was exceeding nice but not worth the wait!!

Our experience was exactly what we expected - amazing food, delicious drinks and great service. Initially we were seated in the centre of the room, but we were kindly moved to a window table without having to ask - we were grateful for this. The nibbles we received at the start of our experience were lovely, and overall an amazing experience.

Food arrived very quickly, ‘chefs sharing platter’ for the window seat experience. To be honest every seat was a window seat so no need to book this expensive experience. Anyways, the sharing platter consisted of 4 small pieces of sushi and a few other nibbles, we expected this was the starter. But after it was finished we were brought the desert, we were starving, very disappointed. My husband does not drink champagne so he ordered a beer, the bill came to over £300 for 40 mins of dining. Ridiculous

Stunning ! Had a reservation for 5.45pm Arrived at 5.40pm. We checked in with one of the two checkin staff and were told as we were early (5mins) so we would need to wait in the lobby. 10 mins passed meaning we were then 5 mins late at this point so I asked when would we be going up to the restaurant. The other checkin lady asked my name and then the guy said he had forgotten to send us up. Not a very good start. Anyway the poor service from the lobby was no comparison to the service up stairs. Everyone greeted us with a smile. We were seated on a table in the middle of the room which was lovely and we ordered our drinks and food. Before our drinks arrived we were moved to a larger window table. This was truly amazing. The views were stunning. The vibe in the restaurant is really cool. The dark lighting is cozy and romantic. All the staff were extremely good at their jobs making our experience perfect. Our food was nice, ordered too much really ! I would definitely recommend this restaurant for a special occasion.

A mid experience regarding what is being served ! The view is amazing, we booked thirty minutes before sunset so we could enjoy every changing colours. The cocktails were very disappointing. A very generic taste, and little to drink (see photo to check the size of the glass and the size of the ice cube haha). Minimum spending of 30€ per person. And note that the prices you see on the menu are not the correct prices, they will add 15% for service. So a 30£ cocktail is actually 32,5£ ! Staff was very kind.

Located on the 52nd floor of the Shard, GÕNG offers some amazing window views of London with cocktails and food. Due to the expensive pricing I'd expected the service to be alot better, it felt slightly rude for the staff to remind us that our allotted time was soon expiring when we were sat waiting as they had forgot our drinks order, and then later forgot our dessert order...

Opted for Gong to propose to my girlfriend and it was a great decision. The team were on hand to ensure everything ran smoothly beforehand. Mona was very professional on the phone and reassured me that the team on the day would make sure everything ran swimmingly. On the day itself, it went without a hitch. I was met by Sucheta who I had previously spoken with on the phone and she went above and beyond what is required to make sure I was happy. She was even okay with super last minute changes and worked around it to make sure everything went off with a bang. Sucheta is a real asset to Gong, incredibly polite and genuinely goes above and beyond. If you have plans to propose or any big plans at the Gong, Sucheta is the person to help you! Thank you again, Sucheta.

Went for the view, nice, so knew the drinks would be expensive. Loud elevator type music played on loop.

Amazing views, the best views in town. It used to be better a few years ago. For some reason there’s more attitude from most of the staff, a bit arrogant, prices are kind of crazy and when we tried to cancel our reservation they wouldn’t allow it otherwise I’d get charged for that. Honestly, there are much better high-end bars in London, try Claridge’s, The Ritz or The Raffles.

Fantastisch om in London op deze hoogte, met dit fenomenale uitzicht een drankje te doen! Heel speciaal en je kunt het dan zo duur maken als je zelf wil. 3 sterren omdat de prijs/kwaliteit van het eten onvoldoende is en ze de brutaliteit hebben om de fooi (bij ons 20pond!) ongevraagd in de rekening te verwerken. Ze boden, op navraag, wel aan om het van de rekening af te halen. Dat hebben we ook laten doen. Je mag er max. 1,5 uur blijven en als je twee drankjes doet en een hapje eet ben je ca. 120 pond kwijt. Maar zoals gezegd: je kunt ook twee spa rood bestellen en alleen genieten van de sfeer en het uitzicht! Ps. Ook al hoef je niet, een toiletbezoek is een must :)

We decided to revisit after a very pleasant visit 12 months ago. What a disappointment. We arrived a little early but were told to go away and come back, had to share a lift with porters and luggage (surely a hotel of this calibre has a service lift?), shoved in a corner, so noisy with blaring music you couldn’t even hear the person sitting next to you speak, average service, overpriced wine. Massive disappointment considering we had gone to celebrate a special occasion. Such a shame. We won’t be going again.

The worst and most expensive bar. The sharing platter comes with tiny pieces of food for £42 and the drinks are near £30 each. Overall £160 and we both left hungry! The staff at the entrance is not friendly and the other staff are pushy for customers to consume alcohol. Be aware it’s not a restaurant it’s a bar, so don’t go there for food. I will never go back and would recommend the restaurant on the 35th floor which offers actual food for much less. Cherry on top of the cake they brought the bill without us asking for it. Complete rip off

The bar totally worth the money and it’s all good for a special occasion once in a while. You gotta also check out their washrooms , it’s very modern and a different experience… We were served by Anbu who was very professional and friendly.

GŎNG, perched atop the Shard, is a swanky spot with some seriously impressive views of London. The vibe is dark and moody, with velvet seating and dimmed lighting. The cocktails are on point, made with fancy ingredients and fancy techniques. The staff is super attentive and makes sure you're all set. The only downside is the price. The cocktails are a whopping £25 each, which is a bit steep. But if you're looking for a special occasion spot to splurge on, GŎNG is definitely worth considering. Just be prepared to open your wallet a bit wider.

We booked an experience on opentable for sunday afternoon with our 9 months old View is spectacular. A but pricey but i guess we paid for the location more than for the food quantity. For 125£ per person we gor a rose champagne and a taste of of the sushi surely only a teaser or starter, not for someone who want to eat a normal size lunch or dinner. We paid extra to have more sushi ended up paying 170 per person. For the same money you can get a michelin star restaurant tasting menu in London… but indeed no view It’s worth going once for the view, would probably suggest to get a cocktail there

In my opinion: the food is over charged, little and very very poor quality (you can have cheaper and better Asian food from any takeaway near you), drinks super over charged and staff members are snob. The atmosphere is ok and the view is fantastic! Basically you pay a lot of money just for the view and to take a lot of pictures to post in your Instagram. I definitely not going back! I was expecting restaurants to be expensive but also better quality, and in this case it’s just expensive and the quality is not on their menu!

Gong at The Shard in London offers a breathtaking view of the city. The staff is excellent at accommodating guests by moving them to window seats if available, ensuring you can enjoy the incredible scenery. Though, their prices could practically reach the height of the 52nd floor! In fact, some cocktails are as pricey as £50. The service is top-notch, but there's a catch – they strictly enforce reservation time limits, and they'll usher you out when your time is up. It's a bit of a bummer. While they have a few options, the high prices might make you question if it's worth it, given the alternatives in London. It's a great place to splurge on the view, but your wallet might feel a bit lighter when you leave.

Paid for the experience to have drinks with a view and a platter. Staff were really friendly but the reality was that as I’m coeliac they could only make some of the dishes. For two of us it was nearly £300 for a bottle of wine and 6 pieces of sushi each

Fabulous views over London. The service was great as were the food and drinks. I just feel it was overpriced, even for London.

An unforgettable experience worth the price of entry. First class hospitality and some of the best views of London. Highly recommend! Book a table early to secure a window seat!

Friendly and attentive service. Great atmosphere. Fried food on the menu is a bit oily.

Somehow never made it up the Shard in all the time since it was built in spit of living here. But finally did for some birthday drinks. The staff are friendly, relaxed and professional. They do a first class job. The cocktails are pricey, true,...

I had high hopes for this place due to the wonderful views and its reputation for special occasions. However, my experience left much to be desired. While I understand that quality comes at a cost, the level of service we received was far from acceptable. My wife and I were lucky enough to secure a window table, but our excitement quickly waned. We sat there for a good 20 minutes without a single greeting or acknowledgment from the staff. We had to actively flag down the host just to place our drink order. After what felt like an eternity, we were finally able to place our food order thanks to a diligent worker named Luis. We could see and hear him expressing our frustrations to a manager, but it was disheartening that the manager didn't even glance our way or seem remotely concerned. Adding insult to injury, Luis had the audacity to remind us of our 90-minute seating limit and warned that we would have to be relocated when our time was up. This left us feeling even more unwelcome and rushed. In hindsight, we should have opted for dinner at the 35th-floor Ting Restaurant, as it's clear that this particular establishment has a lot of room for improvement in terms of service. Very, very disappointed with our experience.

Wonderful views. Great for special occasions. Not cheap, but considering the cost just to go to the viewing platform, well worth it.

Drinks with the best view of the city!!!! The drinks were pricey but extremely well balanced and tastes amazing. The view just seals the deal.

The view is the highlight of the experience. The place is nice and trendy but is overpriced in my opinion. I imagine that there is so much demand for a nice view with drinks and food that they can justify the prices but I am...

we went here for a birthday drink which was nice however, once we asked for the bill we waited 30-40mins due to a technical error to then be told that we had to spend more money which resulted in us missing our dinner reservation at our next place. We were not very happy with the lack of service.

Had a fantastic afternoon here for my wife's 40th birthday and the cocktails were fantastic, the staff were attentive and very friendly, they wished my wife a happy birthday which was a lovely touch. The only criticism I would have is that perhaps there could be a slightly stricter dress code. As it was a special occasion for us, we were a bit distracted by children and adults coming in with their swimming wear with them and general just very casually dressed, it just detracted a bit from the special occasion but otherwise it was a lovely day at GONG.

Silly expensive but well worth a visit for the views and the service. My third time there for special occasions. It’s an experience.

We are going there to celebrate the birthday of a group of six of our close friends. First, we selected a shared platter, which had modest servings yet good and fresh sashimi and appetisers. The birthday cake we had was the finest I've tasted in a long time. I sincerely suggest that the drink menu be improved, as the cocktails are terrible. We appreciate that they gave us a table with a nice view, but it's bothersome that the service members on the scene appear to be very busy and pushing us out the door. Overall, it was a positive experience, although the cost was undoubtedly justified. The cake there is a must to try if you are going for a special occasion!

Greeted by 3 lovely ladies who could not have been more attentive. Shanon gave a warm welcome and escorted me to my table where I was waited on by lovely Mira. Not only a mesmerising view, the guest experience has certainly guaranteed a return visit!

We had drinks at Gong after dinner and thoroughly enjoyed it. The bar is very cosy, has beautiful interior and feels very luxurious. We sat in the third row for about half an hour before being moved to a window spot. The view from the windows at night is breathtaking and so special. We had cocktails and enjoyed these too. They are definitely overpriced (starting at 25 pounds) and don’t taste as special as the price and menu description suggests. The service was exceptional though and we received complimentary olives and nuts. We feel the overall experience justifies the price!

We came here for some drinks and the view. The staff are very friendly and attentive and the views across London are spectacular. The drinks prices are on the high side but this is down to the location which would be very difficult to better anywhere else. Overall very impressive and worth it.
