    Kong

    Shoreditch, London

    Bar in London, United Kingdom

    Why go

    Kong is worth tracking for late 2026 if the idea of a Chinese Public House in Shoreditch sounds more useful than another standard pub meal. The draw is food-led casual dining at a $$ level, with Andrew Wong and Naren Young behind a format built around dumplings, noodles, grills and pints.
