Ping Pong Dim Sum - London

I visited this restaurant with a friend and was pleased to find that they clearly marked many vegan options on the menu. I appreciated the opportunity to order several small dishes, allowing us to try a variety of flavors instead of just one large plate. The food was good, but I likely wouldn’t return, though I believe that’s more about my personal taste than any flaw in the food itself. This is an update to my previous review from August 14, 2022.

We have been dining at Ping Pong for years, usually before heading to the theater on South Bank. However, our recent visit was disappointing. The restaurant was overly crowded with poor ventilation (especially concerning given COVID), and there weren't enough servers to manage the workload. The place was unclean, and we left feeling unsatisfied and still hungry. We expected more vegan options in a restaurant like this. We're now on the lookout for a new pre-theater dining spot.

The vegan menu offered a wide variety of dishes for us to sample. The cocktails were exquisite, and the restaurant itself was truly beautiful.

Really excited to try ping pong and was a little disappointed as there was a very limited number of options that were both vegan gf, with one of the only options that were sold out when I visited. green dumplings were delicious but expensive for only three! I would advise less, but I was very remarkable for allergy labelling and nice staff.

Great vegan options for a dim sum place! everything is marked well (including gf) and staff was very helpful to accommodate! i had the mushroom&leek dumplings and they were lovely
