Hutong at The Shard

From the moment we entered everything was first class. Given a window table with fantastic views over the city. Food beautifully presented with an explosion of flavours. Service impeccable. Thoroughly enjoyable afternoon and very good value for money

The view is obviously the first thing to mention, it's brilliant. Visit the toilets for an aerial view of the trains heading out of London Bridge and Canary Wharf in the distance. Then there's the decor in the restaurant itself; a bit "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", a weird contrast with the steel, glass and exposed 21st-century engineering of The Shard, but it works really well. Then there's the food, familiar and yet very special at the same time. The wine list had some eye-wateringly priced bottles but we still found a decent bottle that didn't break the bank. Finally, the service was really good. Our server was excellent, friendly, helpful, charming and conveniently the right height to talk to without having to crane your neck (high chairs, short waitress).

Excellent service and value for money. The food was gorgeous - would definitely recommend. The only thing I was not impressed with was the charge of £5.50 for water, without giving us the option of bottled or tap water. It was offered as you would expect at any other restaurant, but no mention that this was chargeable.

Location was outstanding, restaurant views amazing, food was overpriced and very disappointing indeed. I've tasted better Chinese Food from several local small Carry Out Outlets. The Starters were lukewarm, the main course was overpriced and pretty average in presentation. The desert was embarrassing, despite the price it was presented terribly and way below average for the price

Overall, not the best dining experience views and location apart!

I would not recommend this Restaurant

You pay for it being in the Shard and the view, which is amazing. If you were just paying for the food alone it’s not worth the price. A lot of what we ordered was completely bland and tasteless like the lamb ribs. They were so dry and tasteless like eating cardboard I was honestly shocked that anyone would serve them let alone a highly regarded and expensive restaurant.

Perfect night with an amazing view !

All very nice and tasty.

Fabulous lunch here at Hutong in the Shard! Service was fantastic and the food was absolutely delicious. Although, be prepared to spend nearly £20 a cocktail!

To dark you could not read the menu.
The Prawns ma lai the dish had so many dried red peppers which was over 65% of veg

Overall, I think it’s overpriced. Of course, there are views, but mainly over a railway..so not the best! Food was average. We ate vegetarian: dumplings, veggie spring rolls, tofu, noodles and rice. One glass of wine. 2 soft drinks. Bill was £128. I have no problem paying for great food, but this was not particularly great, average flavours, nothing blew me away. Waiter and service was perfect though. I wouldn’t go back personally! I think you can have a way better experience for the same money elsewhere.
