Ping Pong St Christopher's Place (Bar, Restaurant)

Ping Pong is the brainchild of the former Operating Manager of Nobu Europe - and thus as you'd expect, the dim sum and cocktails on offer are all of the very highest standard. And in addition the amount of creative input and attention to detail they have invested in creating the restaurant aesthetic really is staggering.

Yet, importantly Ping Pong is intended to be a good deal more accessible than some of its illustrious peers - they adhere to a 'no reservation policy' and in terms of cost you'd expect to pay about £10 for lunch and then little more than double that for dinner with cocktails or wine.

“I love everything about this restaurant! I love Ping Pongs modern take on the concept of Dim Sum - I love trying lots of different dishes and they give you the opyion to do this - it is great fun to share with friends and colleagues. The flowering teas are so fresh and beautiful! To 'sum' up - great food, great service, great atmosphere, great drinks and superb value for money!”

“As a Chinese living in London all my life, I regularly eat at dim sum joints across the city so I generally know what to expect. However, Ping Pong was totally unexpected and a disappointment after a friends suggestion to go there. Dishes were of tiny portion compared to the norm and many dim sum choices were experimental and average tasting at best. For example, the Chefs Special - Scallop with Asparagus fried dumpling (107 on the menu) came on a plate looking like 3 supermini scotch eggs and each one I would say is 90% filled with a mushroom. How much? £3.99. O My God! Also, you would expect a Chinese restaurant with dim sum to serve noodle dishes. Don't expect any here. To be fair the decor was okay, it was clean and the staff were generally friendly. I guess you pay mainly for the scenery and service and not for a good meal. Dim Sum for 6 = £90 + half full stomach. Nevertheless, experience counts and I'm glad I did try Ping Pong because now I know not to go there anymore and because it makes me appreciate proper dim sum places in London such as Joy King Lau and Golden Palace.”
