Ordered the shared menu for two and we were very happy with the selection The Pros are: served quickly friendly staff reasonable prices the menu for 2 included various dishes and I really enjoyed the mixture Cons: no negative aspects tbh. If you’re a student I can highly recommend signing up for UNiDAYS as you receive 20% off on the bill. Overall recommendation: Would go there again

Check out video review on instagram @bigfoodiesenglandworld Went for the happy hour period half-price on certain items the food was very good I have had authentic Chinese food from China and I must say the dumplings were very close to the real ones. See a video of them on my profile on Instagram @bigfoodiesenglandworld with more reviews on restaurants and home cooked food.

The atmosphere is great with good decorations, the toilets are clean and the staff is very qualified and nice. The food was one of the best I've ever eaten in this category. Nothing to complain about, great place if you're in the area.

We went 2 people on Saturday around 15.00pm, it wasn't that busy. Unfortunately we are so fast as we were so hungry and I didn't take photos. The bao bans were so soft and the prawn although was fried you could tell was good quality. The staff were really kind and explained the menu to us and how big the portions are so you know exactly what you are getting. Apart from the food I also got the strawberry and vanilla ice tea and was really tasty. All the food was good quality, not greasy at all and tasty. The place is very clean and the bathrooms also were super clean. See photos for menu and receipt.

The manager was managing and serving the packed restaurant all by herself and she did an amazing job. The food is always reliably good as are the drinks. I loved the soft crab special as well. I've been coming here since they opened and could not be happier that Ping Pong are doing so well in the middle of all the hospitality doom and gloom.

A great place for a quick eat. The Chinese dishes are light and tasty. Portions feel a little small (3 dim sum per dish) but the price is fair. Service is great, the restaurant is clean and the service is friendly. Very convenient for Oxford Street/Selfridges.

Excellent surprise. Thought I would not go because the price of the food could get a little expensive, but worth it, fresh and wonderful food, perfect in the details. The dishes are small and made to split. Make several requests to experience the huge diversity of meals and share everything with friends.
