If you're vegan, no worries! They will print you out a little menu of your own so you can easily choose what you want.

Classic dimsum restaurant that offers excellent value. Try the flowering teas, bao, and chicken rice. Serves Woodford reserve in a decent oldfashioned cocktail. Booking recommended.

Big choice of delicious dim sum which keeps getting updated according to the season so always something new to try. Great cocktail choice and good value at the happy hour

I did not like anything here. The dumplings are sticky and difficult to eat because they tear on touching. The chicken had a strong taste, also the shrimps. هجوا عنه دمبلينج الدجاج و الجمبري فيه زناخه

This is a very cool place and concept! The dim sums are delicious but the other sides are too (honey glazed ribs)
Leiliane ValadaresNovember 9, 2016
The place to eat Dim Sum. And ask for lichee and ginger ice tea to drink, if you want some elegantly freshly taste.
Faraz AhmedJuly 21, 2014
They serve some of the great dim sum food in the city! Try their Vegetable Sticky Rice and Chicken and Cashew Nut Dumplings. The prices are a bit high though!

I really enjoyed my self. Nice romantic atmosphere, delicious meal, friendly service. Basic set of dim sum with tea for £20 is not cheap, but it worth for it.
Mah CarvalhoJuly 6, 2016
Good service, sharing tables, wonderful cocktails and tasty food.

Ping Pong is one of those slick teahouses where dim sum lovers can indulge. Try the crispy prawn balls, the char sui buns and the lychee and lemongrass martini. Read more

They do non-halal chicken and they will check food in case of any allergies. But they don't do Happy Hour drinks. Mon to Sat open till 12 midnight unlike some other restaurants round here.

O my goodness where do I start?! Tasty tasty tasty! Cocktails to die for. Ambience. Its a must do! ...just b aware you cant book for groups under 6.
Bamdad DashtbanSeptember 29, 2015
Nice place, good bar upstairs. You might be asked to share the table with others. They recommend 4 dish per person which is a bit too much
JaimieSeptember 2, 2011
Fantastic value for money - Ping Pong classic for 1 is only £9.99 and includes a mixture of delicious spring rolls, dim sum and sticky rice. Quick service too - ideal for a flying lunch.
Martin CastleJuly 28, 2017
Dumplings are fab and try hibiscus cocktail staff are great but prepare to wait at busy times and have a drink upstairs.
Chris R (thechristophe)December 4, 2016
This place gets mentally busy so come early. Try and stick to a set menu or bring a voucher as the price ramps up quickly.
Masha FleurusFebruary 25, 2019
Nice ambience, delicious dim sum (all of them)! Great value set menus.
Est KDecember 27, 2014
Dim sum deliciousness. Black prawn dumpling, soft shell crab, broccoli. Top it off with oolong tea and mochi for dessert!
Dave MarshallDecember 4, 2015
The dim sum here is great value. Service is mechanical but the cocktails make up for it. Deliveroo deliver from here
That girl rayNovember 20, 2015
Can get pretty busy there at dinner time so get there early e.g. 6pm.
Ann DonagheyNovember 6, 2011
Love this place! affordable, tasty, nice atmosphere and great cocktails!! Love the lychee and lemongrass martinis!! And a nice walk along the river to boot.
David BakerApril 17, 2011
People say the food and service are bad here but we had great dim sum and really good service upstairs on a Sunday afternoon. May that's the place to head for - away from the crowds downstairs.
Jessi @2feet1worldOctober 31, 2014
Good dim sum for a chain, will seat you in cosy upstairs bar if tables are full. Good quick option pre-theatre
Marco ColomboApril 24, 2013
It's a chain, there are a lot around London and this one is nice and cool, every time full of people! Dim Sum are great!
Ankur BanerjeeSeptember 19, 2014
When you're picking up sticky dumplings with chopsticks, let them cool down for a bit after removing the basket cover. Otherwise it might stick to the paper cover and disintegrate.
DanAugust 12, 2015
Dumplings disappointing, falling apart and spilling their gritty & unflavoursome filling everywhere. Loved the wonton soup however. Service was atrocious though, having to ask 4 times for our order.
Helen M-JApril 3, 2016
Lemongrass and lime cocktail was wonderful, as were the duck spring rolls and char siu bao

try the non-alcoholic coolers, like the pineapple juice, coconut puree and fresh lime combo. Read more

Really tasty food. Very busy but the staff are still very attentive. Cocktails to share are delicious!
Brian CottamOctober 30, 2013
Very popular because it's bloody good! Didn't have to wait more than 15 minutes. Small groups may share tables up to 8
Ekaterina EgorovaMay 2, 2013
delicious food especially ribs and Vietnamese spring rolls. And don't miss to try cocktails! Yummy!
blanca garciaMay 10, 2014
If you order set menus when in a group keep track of what they bring, as they tend to mess up (bring fewer things or too many!)
ChloeMay 13, 2018
They probably spent all the effort on designing the menu/concept rather than improve their food.
Enzo MartinelliJanuary 10, 2015
Been here 5+ times
Several offers during the weekend and warming flower teas

The service can be a bit unreliable, but it's well worth making use of the all you can eat menu on Sundays.
Jessica SmithApril 3, 2013
Spinach and mushroom dumpling is a must!! Ping Pong's namesake cocktail also goes down a treat
Anjali RamachandranMarch 4, 2016
Standard ping pong quality - can't go wrong with dumplings and baked pork puff
Mela MelAugust 28, 2014
Pork puffs, veg sticky rice, char sui bun, all the dumplings!! Delicious
The Cultural ExposéJuly 11, 2011
The dim sum here is just delicious - and meal for tenner hits the spot (but not the pocket). Recommend the prawn and spinach wrap.
Shiv KapoorMarch 4, 2013
Flowering teas are unique - great presentation, soothing taste.
JNETApril 10, 2015
Good place for groups. Location is perfect and easy to meet at.
Mark BrassingtonMarch 18, 2012
Large groups get to sit upstairs, they can sit at least 15 of you. Excellent service especially from our waitress Scarlet.
JiJiJune 18, 2012
Lemongrass & Lime cocktail so yummy and they now have the outside sitting available (weather permitting)
ayaka wongOctober 8, 2013
Great canton food ! The best one in UK ! Yummmmmmmy!!!
joe kebbiAugust 11, 2018
The food is great and decent price
Mark MitchellMay 11, 2013
Separate menu for mushroom-free dishes available on request. Hugely appreciative of this!
MargaretJune 24, 2012
Vastly limited gluten free menu doesn't have enough food on it to actually make a meal. All of the sticky rice has gluten in it!

The season special hazelnut mojito is a neat and innovative cocktail.
Giac_ManSeptember 7, 2012
Best dim sum place in town awesome drinks and one of the managers is insanely hot.
Hugd PandaMarch 1, 2010
Can recommend the Sichuan Vegetable Collection (small cold pickled platter), Crunchy Golden Dumpling (only crunchy on the inside) & the Banana and Chocolate Spring Roll!!! Yummo!!! :)
