Best Asian Restaurants in Catford

From the moment we stepped into the shard to the moment we left, everything was amazing. The service. The food. The decor. The vibes. Everything. We arrived earlier than expected but that was absolutely no issue for them. They sat us down and asked for drinks. What we ordered was too much for our table and moved onto a much larger table. A table by the window became available and we were moved again! Now, most would complain about this but, it’s the SHARD!!!!!! How can you complain about being moved when everyone wants to sit by the window lol. Overall the service, the food and everything inbetween was amazing! Would definitely be back.

While food was ok, IMO not befitting of a 5 star hotel in an exclusive location like The Shard. Service was also not supreme with long waits for drinks and no return visits to ask if we wanted refills when drinks were empty. Restaurant furniture, floors and tableware also a bit shabby. The view makes up for it but will unlikely be returning.

Had a great experience on Christmas Eve at Shangri-La The Shard.

At last another decent Chinese restaurant in SE London, there are so few. Very good food, clean, fresh, unadulterated with good ingredients. Rapid and effective service. Very good value. Some very good wines available although we did not drink them. Boring and sterile surroundings though, although convenient location wise. Otherwise recommended.

Really delicious, interesting Thai fusion food, with excellent views of Tower Bridge if you sit outside. Service was friendly, though we had to wait too long to order. Only real complaint is the loud, trashy nightclub music they play, totally inappropriate to the venue. Do the staff pick this to entertain themselves? Surely customers don’t want it, unless this is what tourists expect to hear everywhere these days? Or are they hoping to attract a young, downmarket clientele?
