Ping Pong Soho (Soho)

• This restaurant is a very contemporary and corporate version of old Chinese tea houses
• Where you can have drinks with friends while eating boiled eggs and dim sum
• The cocktails were better than the food
• Char siew buns were pretty tasty
• He will go on picking up plates while we are still eating (his hand almost knocked my face out while trying to do so)
• I was hoping that this is an isolated case
• I guess that is what you would expect from a place which serves unlimited dim sum for 20£
• Over rated is more like it
• Remember this is Asian fast food style restaurant not real fine dining although restaurants are nicely kitted out will always be back
• The setting is very nice and most tables are designed for sharing plates
• I also love their char siu buns which had amazing soft texture with some rich in flavor fillings
• They have some tasty rice dishes with broccoli and chicken
• A lovely place to dine with friendly and warm staff
• I remember coming here with a few a large group of friends
• The service was extremely good
• Moreover the food was very nice indeed
• The service is fast and the atmosphere is very relaxed
• So it is a nice go to place for lunch if you are craving Chinese
• The staff wasn't particularly friendly and the prices were average in the sense that you have to order larger quantities if you go on a hungry stomach
• Some of the best and authentic dim sum I've had in recent memory
• If I didn't make an effort to be conscious of the bill I'd probably keep on eating until they were out of food
• I like to mix and match but the pork puffs and duck rolls are always a fixture for me
• The service is excellent and the staff make very good recommendations
• If Chinese food is not on the top of your list then try Ping Pong to change your mind because it certainly changed mine
• Some flavours I have never heard of were absolutely amazing for herbal fusion drinks
• The dim sums were very well cooked and had delicious stuffing inside that I could just eat on
• It is a cool and relaxing place to have lunch in with friends for a catch up
• The interior is very modern and classy and the place has its own bar and seating area
• Absolutely affordable just like any other Chinese restaurants around the corner but the service and atmosphere are great in Ping Pong
• What I like about Ping Pong is the fact that they add seasonal dishes to their menu now and then
• The cocktails were top notch as ever
• My absolute favourite among the A/W14 dishes were the lobster dumplings
• While they were all quite nice
• I have to admit that the lobster dumpling were the only ones that really stood out
• We finished our dim sum session with their new apple and cinnamon parcels
• I just love dim sum and Ping Pong is definitely a great place to visit
• Also for those who are bored of the usual ones and like trying out new recipes while sipping on some great cocktails will definitely appreciate Ping Pong as well
• Sundays at Ping Pong can equal an as much as you like sumday dum sums with a free mocktail (cocktail is available aswell)
• It makes it easier if there are 3 people as most of the dim sum is available in 3
• Soon favourites were picked out which included prawn toast
• All in all there were 17 different dishes on offer and 23 rounds completed
• The seating upstairs is mostly a bar setting with mostly 2 seats
• Downstairs is tge kitchen alongside bug sharing tables and a cute corner of 4s or 2s which is where I sat
• Was brought here with a friend strictly for one dish
• Don't think it was as good as it had been before
• I can go to Ping Pong and have a really tasty meal which is also relatively healthy
• This branch is stylish and there are bar seats around the steam kitchen to see the dumplings being cooked
• Ping Pong is a contemporary restaurant that serves authentic Dim Sum throughout the day with cocktails and Chinese teas
• I love my Dim Sum Sundays because Dim Sum is usually served from 11am 5pm so I never make it during the weekdays
• The meaning of Dim Sum is basically a small Chinese dish that's steamed or fried which contains various savoury fillings
• It's a great place to catch up with friends and as they say
• All the fun is in the sharing (lets just hope my friend is into sharing
• ) I have noticed that Ping Pong serves seasonal specials alongside their menu and I was really keen to try something new
• I am a massive gin lover and what better way to start my evening than a glass of Nashi Pussycat cocktail jinzu gin infused with yellow gold oolong tea nashi pear
• Chartreuse yellow liqueur and fresh lemon juice whilst my friend was too intrigued to not get the Hong Kong Colada a classic tropical cocktail with a twist
• Fresh lime and pineapple juice served in a bamboo mug with a bamboo leaf
• We had a long piece of paper with a pencil to mark which dishes we would like in quantities (very different from ordering a starter and main course)
• Puff pastry glazed with honey topped with sesame seeds
• Usually I know them as triangular shaped so it was interesting to see Ping Pong's version that's shaped like a sausage roll
• They are pork fillets in sesame and chilli marinade with lettuce and red araranth
• Be prepared to get stuck in with your hands
• The seasoning on this pork tenderloin really brings out the flavours and is well balanced with the lettuce
• The main dishes I was looking forward to the most were the baos
• There has been a rise in popularity with white steamed buns and how could I resist from trying these
• They are on their seasonal specials so it was a no brainer to try these before they disappear from the menu
• Comes with 3 fluffy white steamed buns with griddled smoked duck served with lollo rosso lettuce
• Hoi sin sauce with roasted sesame seeds
• Also comes with 3 fluffy white steamed buns
• King prawns with a chilli coating served with avocado
• I think the fried king prawns went really well with the steamed buns which had that extra crunch
• A dessert to end my fun filled night at Ping Pong which was the Yuzu matcha finger cake
• It's a matcha green tea biscuit base with mango and passion fruit compote and yuzu mousse
• When I first read the menu I thought there was a lot going on but once the dessert arrived
• So I savoured every moment of it with a small bite at a time
• Get confuse with the type of guy who will try everything at least one time
• It's okay buy it is only dumplings (well made I have to say
• I enjoyed the variety and it was topped off with a good glass of wine
• Slightly over priced but with the quality of food that they serve
• Go for their Ping Pong selection set menu for 1 if you are confused about what to order
• The atmosphere at Ping Pong branches are always welcoming
• This informal feel is also present at the Ping Pong branch in Soho
• The star on the menu for me were the pork or mushroom (for the veggies) puffs
• The price this all you can eat is worth it and it&rsquo
• Decided on coming to ping pong for lunch while shopping it was a good choice it's like a posh yo sushi
• Starters i had the mushroom pastries then I had the duck spring rolls they were delious then sticky sea food rice that was nice with prawn &
• Portion of ribs the food was lovely &
• I guess the location is great and the place has a trendy
• I like this chain as the staff are knowledgeable and the menu is more extensive than in my lack branch
• The cocktails are nice and more generous here
• It was so yum and I was so satisfied with my last meal in the city
• When no table was available but thankfully Ping Pong did not disappoint us
• The stools are quite slippery on seating but the view from level one to basement is quite nice
• The bar looks good with a wide range of cocktails
• A very light snack with an interesting texture
• One comprising of very soft buns which are opened quite tenderly
• These are to be filled with avocados and prawns served in the other plate
• Chilli chicken with sticky rice looked good but not that great
• It is a good option if you are looking to eat something filling in less quantity
• We went safe here and tried chocolate fondant which was a chocolate mousse/cake served with vanilla ice cream
• The ice cream was quite herbilicious
• This is okay but the dumpling skin is a bit too thick
• Considering the high end area Ping Pong is located and the good food they serve
• Our dim sum arrived quite quick but there were not exceptional
• I paid the bill and we left and it is the last time my sister and I will go to a place like this
• The service was good and efficient
• The Ping Pong outlet of Soho is a great option for vegetarians also
• The Thai soup was every bit delicious with wontons and coconut in its base and little pieces of fried onions that were caramelized made the soup taste a lot better
• The veg spring rolls were delicious too
• The filling was yummy and the best part was the oil content was less
• The edamame beans were yummy too and with a generous sprinkling of spices
• The dumplings were steamy hot
• I ate an entire dim sum in one go ( they were that good) and the spicy vegetable dumpling too was nice
• Vegetable filling and it was piping hot and soft when it arrived on the table
• The meal for two is amazing and is a good bargain to try out as many dishes as possible
• The dim sums are also delectable
• Quite central and the space is really good
• Waiters were not very nice and we had a constant feeling that we were bothering them
• A decent place with one of the best dimsums in London
• A great ambience helps improve your experience however the service is a little slow which could be worked upon
• First of all the waitresses are all miserable
• The only time my waitress smiled was when she spilt my drink over me
• Spacious place with relaxed vibe
• The number eight is an auspicious number in Chinese culture
• Not the sport) is quite prolific here in London
• The pastry is sticky but manageable and the fillings are flavourful and interesting
• I was very content with the pork buns too
• The fillings are proper and meaty and didn&rsquo
• Great Chinese restaurant which serve the best chinese finger food and starters in town
• A dinner hosted by a foodie friend was the one of the best here at Ping Pong soho
• Its presence is at many places try any of them all are same
• The thing you will love is the way you order
• S the Year of the Dog and what better way to celebrate than at Ping Pong with their mouth watering Chinese New Year Menu
• The Covent Garden branch of the dim sum chain is modestly stylish
• I mean how are they even making it
• The starters are great and I loved the ambiance
• A great value for money and the service was decent as well
• Had the lunch basket and was told by the waiter that the quality would be similar but it was not nice at all
• Ve tried something from the a la carte menu that was much better
• This so very famous and classy place is a worth visit
• Chicken etc practically everything on offer and each one was better than the other
• The soup dumpling are a must have
• The St Katharine's dock location is my favourite location
