This is an interesting whisky bar/restaurant that offers some light bites and Chinese foods. T Went there with friends on Tuesday. Used a Groupon voucher that covered a Japanese/Scottish whisky flight and a few light bites.

We came here for drinks last week. Cool little place with friendly staff. I really like the decor of the front and the bull logo. We sat at the bar as the seating in the back's only covered by a tent/gazebo-thing and rain was leaking through. Not ideal, but it was nice to sit at the bar. The seating area in the back is cute, though a bit of a hodgepodge of random furniture. I guess that's what they're going for, though. We only drank beer this time, but the selection of whiskeys looks amazing, so I'll definitely come back for that. Didn't look at the food menu or eat anything so i cant comment on that. Lastly, the service was good. The kind of service I like. Down to earth and laid back staff who seem genuine. 4 stars.

I came on a Sunday to this restaurant. It was a quiet evening and we got seated and served quickly. The food was very nice but the real (and unexpected!) star of the show were the amazing cakes! We had a delicious coconut and strawberry cake which we loved - so much so that we went for another slice - this time we got the chocolate and coconut which was even better! We were told by the staff that they were made by the security guard who works at the restaurant which is sooo cool. Can’t wait to return and eat some more cake!

My favourite Shoreditch spot for cocktails and delicious Japanese small plates. An unassuming bar from the outside but inside the vibe is always brilliant, the team are awesome and the cocktails (and extensive whisky menu) are to die for. I love the various small plates, which can satisfy a quick craving or be put together for a full meal.

I got recommended to go here from a few mates, so I brought the mrs along for a Friday night date. I must say it exceeded all expectations, with a range of excellent cocktail options and a delicacy of beautiful Asian style cuisine. The staff were very welcoming and very efficient, as there was practically no wait times even though it was busy. The bar is beautifully designed and has a very cosy atmosphere (perfect for a cheeky date night). Credit to the hilarious bouncer and jack the cocktail connoisseur. 10/10 I highly recommend

What an excellent afternoon we spent in Bull in a China Shop! Four of us went to sample the range of whisky's on offer and were treated with an extremely tasty and very pleasant "flight" of four world whisky's supported with interesting information about each one by a knowledgeable proprietor. We were so impressed by our first "flight" that we decided to sample another but this time, from four different countries. Again, the owner duly obliged and treated us to four more whisky's which were also excellent. To accompany our tasting, we were also provided with some excellent tasting dishes designed specifically to support the whisky we were sampling. This was an excellent afternoon spent in a warm, comfortable and very pleasant environment. We shall definitely be going back again and fully recommend Bull in a China Shop to anyone interested in Whisky.

We had our work Christmas meal here. Food was delicious and so much of it! We had the Christmas menu which included the excellent bao buns. Staff were very friendly especially the lady serving us. The choice of Whiskeys was endless and on recommendation I tried the Charcoal Old Fashioned with Japanese Whiskey. Great ambiance too. Would definitely recommend it and I will definitely be back!

We really enjoyed our night here at Bull in a China Shop. Great cocktails in a socially distanced but well heated outdoor area, and the food was superb. I'm not usually a fan of modern Asian fusion as it can be executed poorly, but this place does it justice. We had bao buns with crispy pork and hoisin sauce, the bbq platter (succulent babyback ribs, chicken wings and rosemary chips), and the Peking rice boxes as mains. Everything was cooked perfectly and so tasty. I could eat their hainan rice every day for the rest of my life. Definitely pay this place a visit!
