Ordered the crispy duck rolls, black prawn dumplings, prawn toast, and chocolate dessert. Everything was phenomenal (duck rolls were probably the best), and food came out quickly. My only complaint is that the dumplings were a little difficult to unstick. Pineapple mocktail was also good.

We loved our dinner here! Friendly service and it was easy to get a table on a Wednesday night. I loved how we could check off what we wanted on the menu just like a traditional dim sum meal. All the dim sum we ordered was great, my favorite was the xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) and the chicken truffle dumplings, and of course the siu mai. The decorations and music were lovely as well, it was overall a really nice vibe. My only complaint is that with all the items we ordered, our little table for 2 became cramped very quickly!

Food: didn't know they had great dim sum in London; the Chilli Prawn Bao & Ping Pong Fried Cauliflower were excellent Service: great, timely service Design: interiors is a dark modern twist on a Chinese Dim Sum restaurant with hanging decorative umbrellas in a 2-storey space Overall: if you want a contemporary twist on Chinese Dim Sum with other unique dishes, then this is a must in SoHo

Modern dim sum with really great deals (ayce or half off happy hour). The typical dim sum were all good, like the har gau and the xiao long bao, but frankly the modern ones were a bit...strange tasting? Like the chicken and cashew dumplings and the griddled spinach and mushroom dumplings weren't horrible, they just tasted a little funky. The custard bun and mochi were so yummy though. Not pictured, but the pear & apple drink was so so good too. Service was fine, but since we ordered so much (10 dishes) and our table was tiny, I wish they cleared off some of the steamer trays once we were done with them rather than waiting until we finished everything to clear it away.

As soon as you walk in, you are greeted with very modernized Asian designs. All the employees are super kind and welcoming as well. They have an efficient way to order by having you just tick off on their menu what you want. One of the surprising highlights was the coconut flavored mock tail I ordered. Super yummy and I couldn't rate it high enough!! All the dim sum was delish, although you can feel that the food has been modified to suit local palettes. My favorites were the mushroom dumplings, siu mai, and egg custard bun!

Oh what an amazing dumpling day. Ping pong is my most favourite happy hour lunch place in London. Every weekday between 3-6 pm they have happy hour on selective food and drinks. Ordered all happy hour veggies dumplings and gyoza. Spicy vegetable dumplings was our absolute favourite. The gyoza wasn't as great but it's just absolutely worth the price. The chicken dumplings were nice too as claimed by my friend. The summer special wasn't worth the price; I expected the cucumber to be bit more pickled. However, I 100% recommend this place to everyone. Their baos and soups are absolutely delicious too.

Cool place to come here for some non-traditional but authentic Chinese elements of Dim Sum! It is quite expensive, especially for Dim sum, and I came at Happy Hour (which has a limited menu - but still excellent). I got the Beancurd Salad, Crispy Tofu (not pictured), Crispy Duck Spring Roll, Char Siu Pork Bun, and Shanghai Xiaolongbao. The first 4 were excellent but the Shanghai Xiaolongbao was frankly super dry (no soup), definitely far from a Xiaolongbao and barely even in the dumpling family. Service was great and everyone was super friendly in explaining the food! I got the Lychee and Roses drink and it was incredible.

This was a fun spot with delicious food. I went with a group of friends on a Friday night and had a great time. The food was wonderful, we ordered many different dishes and shared them all, which was a great way to try a variety of things. The atmosphere was also very fun and lively, they even had a DJ the night we were there. There's several locations across the city so there's likely one near you to check out. This is a great place to go with delicious dim sum!

Stellar!!! We were on our last night in London in the area visiting friends and wanted a quick bite to eat before heading back to our hotel and upon searching for nearby restaurants, this one caught my eye. I haven't had dim sum in a very long time and my fiancée was up for it so we popped in. We were greeted immediately and sat promptly, there wasn't much of a wait time until our server approached us and explained the menu and took our drink order. Drinks arrived and we ordered shortly after. It was no more than 3 minutes that passed that the food began arriving. It amazed me to see that many people I the restaurant receiving their food so quickly. We ordered 6 dishes. Pork puffs which were packed with flavor yet light. Prawn crackers which had a nice tangy chili dipping sauce along with it. Crispy prawn balls which had a nice crunch and another great sauce paired with it. Next up was the firecracker chicken roll which packed some awesome heat, not too much but just right for our palates. Traditional xiaolongbao was next and there were delicious; seasoned just right and I wish I ordered a second order. Lastly we had one of the specials which was Crispy duck bao... oh my word!!! This was the absolute best! The buns were soft and fluffy, the duck had a nice crunch to the skin and seasoned perfectly and the plum sauce accentuated everything just right. The service was exceptional and the food was amazing. This is a must try for any dim sum fan or someone who wants to give some delicious food a go. Cheers!!!
