My 2nd time at Ping Pong but first time for lunch. Number of choices wonderfully overwhelming (!) but very well explained by our server/s. They were very conscientious on allergies too. Although we didn't opt for the set menu lunch in the end it did look very good VFM and I would certainly have it next time (it included the chicken/truffle gyoza which we had anyway and were gorgeous.) Hard to name all the other individual dishes we had as they were all excellent but I'll pull out the 2 types of chicken skewer we had as being especially good. With a lot to catch up on my friend and I stayed quite some time after other diners had left, but the staff were really lovely about it and didn't hassle us. Looking forward to my next excuse to go back!Is this helpful?

Great food and drinks selection. The offers makes it an ideal afternoon/ early evening out with friends. It's also a laid back environment, with lovely ambience. The one thing that was incredibly frustrating for us (and other diners I've spoken with), are the waitresses hovering around your table to remove any plate/glass/bowl, the very second they were empty. Considering it's a tapas meal, we spent the whole experience with an arm over our table removing items. And if they weren't removing items, they'd pace up and down the decking, stopping to check the tables constantly. I appreciate they wanted to clear the table, but it was constant- it ruined the experience as we couldn't have a conversation without being stopped every 5mins. It felt like being back at school, having your plate monitored. We therefore had to eat tactically, always ensuring one piece of food remained on the plate- so they stayed away. All very frustrating!Is this helpful?

Terrific find. First time visiting Ping and hope to dine there again. The staff was very accommodating and provided a special menu for a lactose intolerant member of our party. I ordered the chicken truffle goyzas and did NOT enjoy them at all. It just wasn’t to my liking. However our server was kind enough to remove them from our bill! I hope to visit Ping Pong again soon.Is this helpful?
