Sticky Mango Tower Bridge

Nestled in the heart of Shad Thames, just a stone’s throw from the iconic Tower Bridge, Sticky Mango Tower Bridge delivers a Southeast Asian dining experience that’s as vibrant as its riverside location. Whether you’re swinging by for a solo lunch break or dressing up for a dinner date, this spot knows how to impress-with flavor, flair, and a touch of tropical elegance.

What hits you first is the atmosphere. It’s got that polished London style with just enough Southeast Asian edge to keep things exciting. There’s outdoor seating for those breezy Thames-side evenings, and accessibility has clearly been considered-with wheelchair-friendly entrance and seating options.

Let’s talk food-because that’s where Sticky Mango Tower Bridge really turns heads. If you’re into small plates with a big personality, start with the Gochujang Pork Belly or the Spicy Tuna Tartare Spring Rolls. The pork belly melts like butter, with a kick of sweet-spicy heat that stays with you (in the best way). Those spring rolls? Crisp, fresh, with a bold punch of tuna and sesame-absolutely addictive.

From there, move on to the Chicken Satay, which is rich, smoky, and arrives with a peanut sauce you’ll want to scrape clean. For something more refined, the Vietnamese Style Seared Scallops are a must. Lightly charred, delicately seasoned, they come with a whisper of citrus that lifts the whole dish. This place doesn’t just deliver flavor-it balances it like an art form.

For mains, the Lobster Pad Thai steals the show. Decadent, silky noodles, topped with sweet, tender lobster meat-it’s indulgent, but never over-the-top. Prefer something heartier? The Massaman Lamb Shank is comfort in a bowl: fall-off-the-bone lamb swimming in a rich, aromatic curry. You can taste the hours that went into it.

Vegetarians aren't left behind either. The Cauliflower in Thai spices and Vegetable Pad Thai are both standouts. Packed with fresh herbs, wok-seared to perfection, and deeply satisfying. And don’t miss the Thai Green Mango Salad-sweet, sour, spicy, crunchy-it’s a flavor rollercoaster in a bowl.

And then there’s the Miso Glazed Black Cod. Buttery, flaky, and cloaked in a glaze that toes the line between sweet and savory. It’s one of those dishes that stops conversation mid-bite.

Now let’s talk drinks. This isn’t a place that throws a few beers on a list and calls it a day. The Pinapple Vodka & Basil Cocktail is cheeky, fresh, and dangerously easy to drink. The cocktail menu is crafted to match the spice and zing of the food, and there’s a well-curated wine list for those who prefer a dry rosé or crisp Sauvignon Blanc with their curry. Want something bubbly? Prosecco flows freely, adding a celebratory touch to even the most casual visit.

Desserts lean playful. Think tropical flavors, clean presentation, and not-too-sweet finales. The Sorbet selection is ideal for a palate cleanse after a spice-heavy meal, and if you’re still nursing a cocktail, it pairs like a dream.

The service at Sticky Mango Tower Bridge is attentive but not pushy. Staff know the menu inside out, so don’t hesitate to ask for recommendations-whether it’s a wine to pair with the Gochujang or the best sequence of dishes for two.

While the restaurant doesn't offer takeaway, it does provide delivery, which is great news for those who want to enjoy their Massaman curry curled up at home. But truth be told, the real magic is in dining in-the vibe, the presentation, the pace-it all works together to create something memorable.

So whether you're drawn in by the sushi, staying for the cocktails, or coming back for the lamb curry, Sticky Mango Tower Bridge brings something different to London’s dining scene. It's not just a meal-it’s a mini escape to Southeast Asia, served one dazzling plate at a time.
