Being on the 33rd floor of The Shard, provides stunning views so make sure you get a window view. They had some of the best peking duck we’ve ever had and the selection of dimsum especially the mushroom & spinach and the wagyu w/ hot & sour broth was amazing. Only criticism was that the prawns were slightly over cooked.
