Our top fave in balewadi high st. The blooming tea spritzer which was recommended by the waiter was one of the best drinks i have ever had ! The chocolate DOME - aaah.. we always keep dreaming of that... its unbelievably yummy ! each and every element on the plate is perfection in this dessert. The sushis , tacos and momos are yummy too.. hands down one of our top fave restaurants in the area ! <3
P.S : the service is incredible and so is the decor. can't find any fault in this place. Sincerely hope it stays consistent.
If u really have a penchant for good classy food ...then this is the right place to be...
Impressed by the service....ambience bright...but the wooden maze sometimes becomes an eyesore...otherwise it's just a perfect food getaway for something different!!!
It's not everyday that you get more mesmerised by the ambience of the restaurant than the food (not that the food was bad). But this place has this amazing look and feel that is extremely calm to the senses and pleasant to the eyes. And that's why, for the first time, I only have pic of the ceiling of the place and not of the food (it was also somewhat dark to get pictures of the food). The staff is extremely courteously. The food was lovely, but not as exquisite as you expect from this price point. I can remember the prawn sushi was excellent, and the pork belly was good. All in all, a good stop to indulge in one night of fancy food.
I visited this place before lockdown....
Absolutely in love with this place and the food. The min I stepped in-the ambiance melted my heart. Very classy yet simple. Going by the reviews I was to order for some ramen and appetizer but after looking at their tasting menu I decided to go with that to get to taste a 6-course meal and to decide what to order the next time :)
The tasting menu was simply amazing right from the soup to sushi, dumplings, appetizer. The main course was a little disappointing or probably it didnts excite me. The desserts were yum too. The portion size is amazing for one. Not sure if you can share it. But do go with the tasting menu if u want it all
We loved the ambience and great food! Absolute fan of this place! Jasmine rice was so flavourful and the mango mousse was the best dessert recommendation by the chef!
Great experience. Service was so good. Food was awesome. First time goers like me will feel have no problem in deciding menu cause manager guided us well. Ambiance is greatly planned and maintained. Its little expensive but I mist say every penny is worth
An excellent place on the high street. Gong make you go wow right after entering the place. The ambience is really classy and makes you think of contemporary Japanese architecture.
The service was excellent, all the staff were very skilled and well versed in the menu, so to speak.
Coming to the food, we enjoyed the Amuse Bouche immensely. The sushi was fresh and tasty, but the boneless wings were a bit disappointing, so was the nasi goreng.
However, will be coming back here to sample more of their menu.
By far one of the best restaurant serving asian cuisine. Variety of food is top notch. Visited this place for a team lunch and we weren't disappointed with even a single dish. Be it water chestnut and corn starter, sauciness and crisp of crispy lotus stem, fiery tender boneless chicken wings, and those amazing water chestnut, spinach and corn dumplings everything was bang on. I'm a big fan of water chestnut and the way they have incorporated this in variety of dishes is enlightening. Pad thai and stir fried noodles are sure thing to try for. Burnt garlic fried rice was really good. But Kerala fried rice was a revelation. Service was really good, staff being very patient, calm and accommodating. This place speaks Chinese, asian in each and every way possible with their ambience, food, use of cutlery. In for a good asian cuisine this is the place to go.
Let me tell you guys I've tried a lot of Asian places and I wouldn't hesitate even a bit before I put GONG on my list of one of the best Asian restaurants in Pune.
AMBIENCE:- This pretty restaurant has some amazing interiors which will leave you absolutely mesmerised when you enter, it has gorgeous seating which can accommodate up to 50-60 guests at a time and an amazing bar with some trendy drinks.
FOOD:- We had some delicious dishes here, we tried
Mushroom Cappuccino, its was just lovely, the best one I've tried yet.
Asparagus tempura rolls
Dimsums

My personal favourites were mushroom cappuccino and asparagus tempura rolls.
SERVICE:- The service was pretty good, the food was served on time and the manager was very helpful.
HYGIENE:- The place was quite hygienic, the place had a very fresh vibe and the dishes were changed after every course.
COST:- The cost is pretty reasonable.

Gong, an amazing place for Asian cuisine, was recommended to me by my friend quite long back. So I decided to visit the place with a different set of friends. The ambience and decor is very warm, subtle and nice. The staff of the.restaurant are also very welcoming.
Regarding the food, I must say u will get the best Asian food here in Pune.
What we tried :
#Thai_Coconut_Soup: The soup was quite good and delightful. I really loved the texture of the soup. Flavours were also really good.
#Mushroom_Cappucino: This is an amazing soup. Rich in texture, served in mugs with a foamy effect on top. #Must_try
#Sushi _rolls/ Tempura_rolls: We had Asparagus tempura and Ebi tempura rolls (consisting of prawns). The sushi rolls were really nice and delicious.
#Dimsums: We tried Green curry veg dumplings, cottage cheese vegetable siu-mai in veg and in the non-veg we tried, fish dumpling with basil leaf and chilli and Coriander chicken siu-mai.All the dumplings were good and yummy. #highlyrecommended.
#Appetizers: We had steamed. tofu tossed with pickled ginger chilli and spicy black bean chicken with black pepper onion chilli. Both were quite good and amazing.
#Main course: Stir-fried green veg garlic butter steamed rice, wok tossed noodles and spicy Thai coco curry. Everything was finger-licking, especially the Thai curry.
#Desserts: We tried mango pudding and chocolate bomb. Both were delicious in its own way. Beautiful as well.
Also we tried some cocktails and mocktails (don't remember the names). They were also really Refreshing.
Overall experience was amazing and superb.

Been visiting this place from quite some time now. This still is my go to place when ever I'm in mood for real authentic Chinese. Not a lot places can match the taste of real Chinese cuisine.
The second you enter the place you do feel very posh 😍. The interior is just amazing and im just surprised about how clean they keep everything. Not once have I seen a single clumsy table
Staff here is well versed with the menu items coz in the beginning I really had hard time understanding the cuisine, that time they really helped me to choose the right meal for me.
Let's talk about their food :-
From almost a year or more I have visited the place too many times and still their food has not changed a bit. Even while using zomsto gold!
Things you must try here :-
Soups -
Mushroom cappuccino soup-
This is the soup where chef's skills really shows off. This is way too delicious to share with anyone so dontttt share. This is a really rich, earthy soup served in coffee cups finished with a dollop of frothed milk/foam to give the cappuccino effect.
Thai coconut soup-
This soup has very authentic, bold, and delicious Thai flavors which makes this soup irresistible!
Sushi rolls -
*Asparagus tempura-
Delicious avocado pieces with chef's special sauce (shhhh it's top secret)
*Ebi tempura roll-
This has prawns tempura and tongarashi
Prawn lovers favorite.
Dimsums-
Veg
Green curry vegetable dumpling-
The only veg dumplings I can not stop hogging on almost every time I come here.
Non veg -
Coriander Chicken Suimai
Now the name may sound odd and you may think it has lots of coriander but no this is perfectly balanced and the chicken is so juicy that you actually feel happy by ordering this one.
Appetizer :-
Veg-
Steamed Tofu tossed with pickled ginger chilly. - now I know as "tofu" you may think this is simply a boring dish, but it's really not it serves the purpose of appetizer as it just so softly fills part of your hunger and surprisingly it tastes good.
Spicy black bean chicken with black pepper onion chilly -
Whushhh!!! yaaa it's a really long name for starter 😅but ya this is medium spicy chicken as it has chilly, pepper.
Main course -
Now in this I love one combination
That is -
* Stir fried green vegetable garlic butter steamed rice,
Goes well with
Spicy Thai coco curry - coconut based medium spicy curry.
Dessert -
Mango pudding and chocolate bomb
So now for this one you need two things
1. Really good camera
2. Insta account
Cuz cmmon these two things are really worth capturing in your phone and the chocolate bomb is a must for slowmo. All this has to go on your Insta just to show off to your friends right?
Now let's rate this spectacular place-
Ambience 5/5
Sushi rolls 5/5
Other food 5/5
Service 5/5
Vfm 4/5
Overall 5/5.
Great service and ambience, recommend making a reservation if it's a weekend. I mainly wanted to try out their sushi and dumplings - wasn't disappointed at all. Ramen could be better, and desserts aren't as impressive. Cocktails/mocktails are interesting, definitely worth a try.
One of the best Asian food in the city, the sushi’s are worth a try, they have good Bao’s also, but were a little bit dry, their chocolate dome is just out of the world. The outlet gives u a fine dine feels with some exquisite interiors. I found staff a bit less interactive, there was some problem with the online deals at the time of billing but they were least bothered to help. But a must try place for Asian cuisines.
If you are looking for a Japanese cuisine then this is the perfect place!! Every dish we had here was mouthwatering😍 Ambience is amazing. The place is little bit small and there might be a waiting queue. But perfect place for a date night!
The food is great. If you are a fan of Asian food, this is one of the best places to try authentic Asian food. The ambience is amazing. The staff is very polite. Just be mindful of the wait time especially during weekends. Also note it closes around 3:30 PM so they might rush you a little for the final order. Highly recommended

I recently had the pleasure of dining at GONG, and I can confidently say it was an extraordinary experience. From the moment I stepped through the doors, I was greeted with an ambiance that left me in awe. The restaurant's interior design is a harmonious blend of contemporary elegance and warm, welcoming charm. The soft, dimmed lighting and tasteful decor create an intimate and inviting atmosphere, making it the perfect spot for a memorable afternoon.
But the real star of the show was the food. The menu offered an exquisite selection of dishes that catered to a wide range of tastes. I started with crispy lotus stem black pepper, . The combination of ingredients was masterfully balanced, and each bite was a delightful surprise.
Further we had a couple of dishes in both veg and non veg as follows :-
- Veg - Avocado & Asparagus role, vegetable in thai green curry, blue jasmine fried rice with crispy garlic (must try) , Bao cottage cheese & sundried tomato.
- Non veg - Crispy chicken katsu bao, salmon nigiri & tuna nigiri (sushi), khao suey chicken (must try), New Zealand lamb chop,
The exceptional food and the inviting ambiance make it a must-visit for anyone looking to indulge in a culinary journey. I will definitely be returning to savor more of their dishes in the future. Highly recommended!
Tried their Chicken Ramen, Chicken dumplings, Khow Suey & Pan Fried Noodles. Ramen could be better.
Overall scrumptious & authentic dishes. Doesn’t disappoint. The ambience is the cherry on top. Used swiggy dineout for payment so wasn’t too heavy on the pocket.
Special mention: Loved their cutlery!
The ambiance and service provide perfect setting for a fine dine restaurant. The place has a wide variety of cuisine from across south east asian countries.
Would recommend making reservations in advance if you are going on weekends.
Must try: Sushi platter & Mushroom Cappuccino
"Gong" is a top spot for Asian food, and the atmosphere is great.
We tried the "Malayan Spice" mocktail and another one I can't remember the name of. Both were really tasty. Definitely try the Malayan Spice if you go.
The "Cream Cheese Sushi" is the best sushi I've had in Pune. I've tried a lot, and this one is a winner.
The rolls were also great and reminded me of Dimsums. Big thumbs up for them.
The only letdown was the Ramen. It was mostly greens and didn't taste like real Ramen. Everything else was perfect, but I'd give the Ramen a 2/10.
So, overall, Gong is one of the best places for Asian food in town, except for the Ramen.
Taste is good. We had dumplings, sushi etc. Ebi tempura roll was great. Dumplings were nice. Pepper chicken was tasty. Ramen were bit bland to my liking. Philippino chicken was nice. Overall good but expensive to what they offer.
Visited for dinner as we had heard a lot of good reviews from our friends. Even though it was Thursday night, it was packed. Make sure to reach early or make a table booking.
Ambience is lovely. Staff is friendly. Tables are close to each other, you can actually over hear conversation from other table, wish they add more space between tables.
Food is lip smacking. We had crispy chicken katsu bao, chicken and straw mushroom sui mui and Pad Thai.
Food was tasty with good portion size.
