About this restaurant

Romantic
Good for special occasions
Good for groups

Trends come a go, but one famous Chelsea establishment has remained resolute to the changes over the last 35 years.

Nam Long prides itself for being a favourite cocktail bar to the Chelsea locals. The fact that it was originally conceived as a Vietnamese colonial restaurant and cocktail bar adds to its unique character and charm amongst the glut of generic bars in the capital. Serving Pan Asian dishes - the house enjoys sharing platters for all, un matchable in its ambience, embedded in history and novels this is also the birthplace of the infamous “Flaming Ferrari.” The cocktail that holds its own legacy and has pawned countless imitations around the world.

Extremely poor service and badly made cocktails. Since when was a Negroni just a glass of Campari??

Lack of COVID precautions overall at this restaurant and I wouldn’t recommend. Not socially distanced - we were packed into crowded area right next to two tables and had asked to move. Other customers coughing at table next to us. Waiters not wearing masks at all times and took off to come to sing happy birthday at a table next to us. No soap available in bathroom (they had mixed bottle with water). Sticky menus and table.

That’s a weird place - there is a nice vibe once you enter, but after this it’s impossible to hear each other, the music is way too loud. No social distancing measures with the staff touching you on the back on several instances, or coming really close to your face to speak with you — not the best during the current pandemic. Food was tasty but we waited for quite a while and is significantly overpriced. Downstairs, there is extra space and when I visited the bathroom I saw several empty tables with unfinished food, and no one was there (no customers or staff) suggesting these were left there for quite a while.

What a relief to be back, an injection to the soul to be back with a restaurant with so much history and strength- the pandemic has not beaten this gem! Savaged with the 10 pm curfew diners and drinkers have started a touch earlier- get in for the 7pm slot and enjoy a proper evening. Its warm, cosy and friendly air have been missed, the food is just as tasty and it is refreshing to see we havn't been slammed with a reduced slack covid menu! The Jumbo king prawn curry is a must- Thank you Nam Long you've been missed

Nam Long never let us down! Drinks and food were great - I’d definitely recommend margarita on the rock and the shrimp dumplings. The service was really good as well and the atmosphere was perfect. We’ll definitely come back.

The place has amazing vibe. And the cocktails are amazing. However, the restaurant is not taking any social distancing precautions - we were sat so close to the next table, it was worrying.
