Good food but since everything has become expensive, this has risen in price too. The dimsum ji xiaolongbao were delicious as were the crispy tofu with sweet chilli sauce.Is this helpful?

Everything in London has become excruciatingly expensive and Ping Pong, one of our favourites, is no different. £180 for a casual dinner out (2 adults and 1 kid) is a bit too much for a small, informal dim sum place.Is this helpful?

Arrived on time for our reservation. Table was not ready but cleaned up pretty quick. On first glance very small and tight restaurant. Have been to all other London Ping Pong restaurants can say they’re a lot nicer. Menu was given but a third of it was unavailable, explained by waitress that this was due to them missing a delivery We were asked for some water for the table, we ordered a sparkling water. It took 20 mins to arrive. Our food along with others food took more than 50minutes to arrive. Some other guests who ordered after us received their food earlier (by15 mins) Completely disorganised and was only a trainee handling the entire restaurant hence was not a senior I could speak to. I now realise why there was so much availability of bookings on Valentine’s Day compared to all the other restaurants of this chain. Avoid at all costs, will ruin your eveningIs this helpful?

Six of us celebrated my daughters 25th birthday here and we all thoroughly enjoyed our food which was served promptly by most efficient waiting staff. Each dish we had (and there were many) were all very tasty. The grilled beef gyoza and the chilli pork tenderloin were especially delicious but everything was fabulous. Well worth a visit.Is this helpful?
