Old Chang Kee @ Boxhall City - (Near City of London, South East)

Vanessa Thompson The food was amazing, tasty and fresh. The ambience is lovely and the service was great. Definitely need to come back to try more of the menu

Tom I had dinner here with a colleague on a Monday night. It was relatively quiet but then the city always is on a Monday. The decor is very nice and there is lots of space so would be interesting to see the vibe of the place when it’s full. The small plates are essentially starters and we shared the pork bites and burnt ends between two and it was probably enough. The menu is interesting! For the mains my colleague had the ribeye and I had the fillet steak. We had a side of mash with gravy and also the loaded style chips. The steaks were delicious. Really tender and cooked to perfection. The meat was great. Really up there. Big shout out to the gravy mash combo too. That was immense. The service was efficient and felt a bit upsell a few times but again that’s the city for you. We stuck with what we wanted and it was seriously good. Would definitely go back. It’s not cheap but it’s worth it.

Patrick Carr Right. The food is spectacular. If you can, try and sit at the bar where amazing Fatou is a waitress. She made genuinely stonkingly good recommendations that were perfect in terms of what we were looking for at lunch. She also looked after us so well. Wagyu gyoza (prepare to fight whoever you’re with for them), snow crab (my wife loved), JFC (my fave, get the spicy version). The chocolate and citrus mizumono dessert is also very special. My Mrs isn’t bothered about anything chocolate-y but thought it was great. I’m a choco-holic and agreed. PS - Electric Diner (just across the room) is great too. Chicken Waffles in on Friday ace. PPS - Stick around and go to the main Ned bar. They play really great live music in the evenings, on the stage (see pics).

Khost Milad (Dr) Blacklock Shoreditch was an exceptional dining experience from start to finish. The steak was truly outstanding in both flavour and quality – perfectly cooked, rich, juicy, and clearly prepared with real skill and care. Every bite felt deliberate and confident, exactly what you hope for from a restaurant known for meat. The sides were equally impressive and far from secondary; each one was full of flavour and thoughtfully prepared, complementing the main dish beautifully. We visited on a Friday night, and although the restaurant was very busy, everything felt calm and well organised. There was no sense of chaos or rushed service, which says a lot about how well the place is run. The staff were attentive, friendly and efficient throughout. We went for the “All In” option, which was an excellent choice. It included a starter and two sides, and for two people the total came to £63 including the service charge. For the quality, atmosphere and overall experience, it felt extremely good value. A restaurant that genuinely lives up to its reputation.

Endy We had a great experience at the restaurant. Jessica was an excellent server — very friendly, attentive, and professional. She helped us choose a bottle of wine, and her recommendation was perfect. The wine was excellent and made our evening even more enjoyable. Thank you, Jessica, for the wonderful service!

Ella Travels I recently celebrated my birthday at Lucky Cat by Gordon Ramsay in Bishopgate and it was truly such a memorable experience. From the moment we walked in, we felt so welcomed and well taken care of. A special thank you to Chef Nude and Chef Nuji for the complimentary dishes — such a thoughtful and generous gesture that made my birthday celebration even more special. Everything was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. Huge appreciation as well to Luca and Shabeeb for their warm, attentive, and friendly service throughout our stay. They made sure we were comfortable and enjoying every moment. Thank you for making my birthday celebration unforgettable. I can’t wait to come back! Highly recommended!
