Took my family (party of 7) for a pre theatre meal on a Saturday evening and was very disappointed. Two of our party had just returned from a trip around Asia and felt that the food was not authentic. My wife and I both felt that the portions were small. The sticky rice for example was little more than a... More

Came across this after my brother suggested going. Lovely food, a couple of things were forgotten by a new member of staff but the service was great!

Visited for lunch this Saturday with a friend who I hadn't seen for a while. Upon arriving, the bored looking waitress directed us to a table that was pretty much attached to a table of children who were sprawled everywhere around the table and were obviously quite comfortable. No problem, but when there are plenty of free tables elsewhere I... More

We had dinner here last night, it was very busy, great atmosphere and excellent service. The staff are friendly, and very obliging. The food came just as we wanted it, hot, and very good, my partners first time at Ping Png, and we will definitely be back.

We sometimes go for the Ping-pong selection menu which is great value at £11 and gives you a nice variety of dishes. Personally my favourite dishes... More
