Ping Pong boasts to serve 'little steamed parcels of deliciousness' and this is no exaggeration. You might not like everything on the menu but the choice is so varied its bound to suit all tastes. As you are seated in the dark, sexy and stylish restaurant you are given a card and pen. You mark the amount of each savoury bite you desire according to the menu and pass it back to the waiter. Each dim sum plate, consisting of 2 to 3 pieces per plate costs anywhere between £2 to £5. I went with 3 people and we chose 3 to 4 plates each, however we did end up ordering more as we went along. The Scallop and Prawn Dumpling (£2.99) were delicious, as were the Crispy Prawn Balls (£3.59).
Ping Pong and dim sum in general is very much a grazing way of eating. It's very easy to wile away the afternoon picking on little bites of intricately prepared food, ordering as and when you want it. This, however, is not as cheap as it may seem, be aware of how much you're ordering if you're on a budget. Ping Pong started in Soho, however has now branched out all over London with a total of 12 restaurants. I would suggest going on a Sunday when you can eat unlimited dim sum for a total of £17.15 a head.
