Ping Pong

Ping Pong is my love.
It’s a chain, but I don’t care. Who cares if it’s delicious and healthy? I’ve never actually eaten in the restaurant, but I’ve picked up the take away. That’s a pretty good sign though right, because they’ve packaged it up, and I have to take it home, unpack it, and it’s still phenomenal? Yes I think it’s a good sign.
Anyway, my husband and I like ordering a bunch of dim sum from their menu and just sharing it.
The black prawn dumpling is by far the best dumpling ever ever ever. Holy gazolie it’s incredible. We also like the mushroom and scallop, veggie, edamame. Really, they’re all very good.
I also like their soup– thai style mushroom soup– it’s very strong with lemongrass but it’s really nice.
And their rice pot– tofu, mushroom, and black bean rice pot– it’s quite big and delicious.
Yay Ping Pong. It’s got a lot of variety, and yummy, healthy vegetarian/​vegan food. Yum. A great option if you’re in a hurry but want something that is warm and not terrible for you.

Templo del Dumpling, los tienes gritos, cocido, vapor, con arroz, etc… cuestión de ponerse con los palillos manos a la obra…

I still love the food from Ping Pong but the service really was dire tonight. As well as very very slow even though it wasn’t very busy the waitress was a bit rude — blunt and dismissive.
Stillll as always I can recommend the char Sui bun, roast pork puffs and the yuzu matcha cake. Personally think the spinach and beef dumpling is very bland but also enjoyed the potato edamame cake and the veal spring rolls. The special dumplings — 3 different colours — were ok but nothing special.
Tasty food but not the usual service

Only a short review: Awesome variety of tasty Dim Sum!
We have enjoyed following Dim Sum this evening:
— Chicken & garlic Dim Sum (our favourite!)
— Duck Spring Roll (crispy)
— Char Siu Bun
— Beef filet dumpling
Everything was really delicious!

Found this place while wandering around with a friend. The place is very hip and had some pretty delicious selections. It’s definitely not your back-​alley Chinatown dim sum place, but a nicer version with some modern twists. We got the selection menu to share, plus a few other things that looked good and we were both happy with everything. Drinks here were great as well!

The food is amazing and the cocktails are A*

I love Ping Pong. It’s like. an Asian McDonalds for me, or something. The food is good and tasty, the service is quick and friendly.
They have good beer and a wide selection of food. I tend to go for one of the set menus, Ping Pong selection for one. It’s £12.50, amazing value and you get a good range of food. The potato and edamame cakes are… hnnnngh.
My only disappointment is that the rice dish that they used to serve with this was a beautiful chicken and broccoli dish and now it’s mushroom and vegetables. If I hadn’t of had the chicken one, I wouldn’t be disappointed, but seeing as I had (and it was so tasty) I do miss it.
So, yeah, it’s not fancy, but absolutely worth a hit if you’re passing and fancy dim sum.

I have to say that i was really suprised to say how good the food is. I have eaten dim sum all over the world and i have to admit that this tastes authentic and good with a modern twist. The menu is exciting and the drinks are fun. It is a definite must try and i have been back more than 3 times. My favorite are the buns and shrimp dumplings! Try everything! Delicious and cool.

I’ve had a dim sum craving ever since I’ve been in London. We randomly found this place after exploring the shops around the area. We had to wait a few minutes to be seated since it was packed. We had to sit downstairs. It was a little tight space, I’m not sure how they were able to bring all our food without hitting anyone. Anyways, there was a menu that you pick out the food you want so we did that since we were unsure of how this whole process works.
Dim sum was amazing, the drinks were amazing. I wish I went back here when I was in London recently. They should have places like this in the states. I will try the set menu next time I“m back in London.

It is a cold and windy winter Friday in London. You spent some time walking around and it feels like you could use some lunch. There is no better place to go than Ping Pong and have some of their winter warmer lunch. It was one of those places I wanted to go to for a long time. My hubby is not a big fun of dim sum, so I thought that lunch would be a great option. We both chose Winter Warmer lunch — regular and vegetarian option. It comes with 6 or 7 dim sums, rice dish with broccoli, mushrooms and chicken (in regular option), 2 sauces and a tea of choice. I had some lovely jasmine lily green tea. It was a great deal and the food was delicious. It was just what we needed at that moment. It filled us up and brought some strength to face the cold again.

We had to wait 45min to get a table but it was totally worth waiting. The food was delicious.

What a surprise in downtown London. Best dim sum ever. Highly recommend this place. Their soup will revive you and their dishes transport you back to Asia.

Great Dim Sum in London! I must say this was an amzing dinner I will never forget everything we had was amazing.

Pretty good for Dim Sum but nothing really special, I would love to try the afternoon tea or all you can eat option.

Ping pong est un restaurant de tapas asiatiques.
La spécialité du restaurant: les succulents dumplings /​Dim Sum (ravioles vapeurs ou cuits à la poêle) végétariens, à la viande ou aux fruits de mer.
Il propose également de très bons amuses bouches à la fois classiques et originaux.
Il est agréable de terminer son repas avec une brioche asiatique au cœur fondant au chocolat.
Les produits sont frais, bien cuisinés et bien assaisonnés!
A la carte, c’est cher! Mais c’est très très bon!
Le restaurant propose également des menus le midis, plus abordables.
Le cadre: le restaurant est grand, la déco est sobre et moderne.

Sometimes I just need some Dim Sum. There is something rather special about the little balls of sweet and sour filled joy (buns) coming in piping hot thatched wooden gazebo box. Dumpling of various varieties and sticky rice wrapped in banana leaves. It’s the perfect thing to share with a group and this is just what we did. 11 of us at a large round table made it a great atmosphere to «pass that yum thing» around.
I was a little dismayed by the prices, though for London, I guess I shouldn’t have been too shocked! The menu is pretty big with lots of choices for everyone. I wasn’t particularly hungry after a huge lunch so went for the lighter options. I actually was in the mood for veggie things and found a great deal to choose from. I personally ordered the vegetable dumpling soup which came with a gorgeous broth which was warm but not overpowering. Perfect appetizer. I had the vegetarian sticky rice which came all wrapped up. I had some of the chicken dumplings which were tiny parcels of joy and went great with the sauce. I pinched a bit of the little lamb chops off the table which were succulent and gave just enough tug when you tried to rip it off the bone. Also, the beer deal was pretty legit as we got a bucket (yes, a bucket) of 10 beers for like 29 pounds?
Next time I go, I am definitely going to pig out on the 29 pound set menu. No contest.

I’ve been on a quest for decent Dim Sum forever now. I’ve got ton bigger classy joints and smaller run down shacks and nothing has impressed me like the stuff I’ve had in the states.
But Ping Pong? Ping Pong is damn close.
I’m usually not a fan of chains of eateries since I think they tend to do boring food. But Ping Pong nails the dim sum experience. Nice atmosphere of dark wood and comfortable small tables, all the food comes piping hot and delicious and it’s a nice way to share a meal with a friend or date.
Everything was good but the seafood dishes seems to stand out above the rest. Anything was prawn was a winner. And my pork bun was sticky and sweet and just the way I liked it.
The only real issue is the prices, but I’m so biased in this area it’s not even funny. Dim Sum in the states is literally the cheapest food you can buy, and you get so much for so little money. When I see how much it costs here in London, my eyes bug out just a little bit.
But that’s pure bias on my part, beyond that, the meal is good, the food comes quickly and it’s decent al around. Looking for Dim Sum, this is the best I’ve found in London so far.

Ping Pong is taking over the world, and you can see why.
The dim sum is excellent; Ive been to a few PP’s over the years and they’ve always given great service (including the time the waiter thought we had ordered too much!).
The food is awesome, I’d say on par with dim sum I’ve had in China and HK, though a *little* pricey. They have a bunch of set menus which is good, inclgood veggie range for the health and environment conscious ;)
They do also they do a buffet on Sunday for £21 which I am trying to convince a bunch of mates to come with me to :)
I’d recommend evreything from the steamed section cos it rocks!
Hmm…looks like today’s lunch is sorted then.

Oi Ping Pong! Hurry up and get yourself down to Brighton ASAP!
Ping pong is a dim sum lovers wet dream. This little Chinese tapas place IS a chain, but unfortunately we do not have one where I live. Shame Shame shame…
This one seems small when you enter, with little tables very close together, but fear not! There’s more seating downstairs if it’s looking busy. We had a table Next to the most hilarious couple of men I’ve ever eavesdropped on (not hard — you are very close together) but if I wasn’t enjoying their conversation so much, it could of been annoying.
We chose a few dishes to share and I would greedily say — about 6 – 7 should fill you up.
We had a gorgeous chicken soup — delicate flavours but still managed to feel wholesome. Then shared a pork bun — so different to anything I’ve had before but I loved it!
We then went on to munch our way through the dim sum menu — mostly steamed. All very tasty. Drinks were quite expensive and annoyingly I had a lovely glass of Malbec and could have quite easily enjoyed another if it wasn’t the best part of £8! Not too cheap but thoroughly enjoyed it.
Brightonians — the nearest thing we’ve got to Ping Pong down here is Yum Yum Ninja I believe!

Nice décor and ambience though for some reason the day we went, it was steaming hot, (and I’m the kind of person who has to wear thermals for half the year!)
The food was nice but fairly uninspiring. I had a mango and goji juice to start which unfortunately tasted like watered down Rubicon. I do love a good mango juice — but this isn’t it :(
The veggie set menu for £10 is good value, but the fried bits that come out first were really greasy and set the bar low (especially the potato cakes — this is my favourite easy-​to-​cook veg and should be a basic dish).
The steamed dumplings were much better, but not enough to make me want to come back.
I wouldn’t say no, but it’s not my first choice… soz folks x

So delicious. At first I was reluctant to try Americanized dim sum, but I was blown away by how amazing everything tasted. My bf ordered all our food, so I don’t remember exactly everything I had, but it was all delicious. I remember ordering a lemongrass drink that was divine.
I wish they’d open a ping pong in LA!

Yes, yes, I know, Ping Pong isn’t REAL dim sum.
But you know what it is? Generally fast, tasty, and filling when I am on my lunch break and want fairly healthy hot food in my 45min or less time slot.
2 – 3 dishes, and a glass of tea, and I am a happy camper. I tend to try the seasonal specials, and I love the king prawn & garlic dumpling in squid ink pastry.
The service at this location is better than what I have had at the others. Friendly, attentive, and they don’t look at me funny when I ask for the bill right after my food comes (so I can dash out the door and back to work when I am done). Thanks guys.
I’ve even got a loyalty card. Now I feel like a real yuppie. Please shoot me.
