Lots of vegan options & quick service ! - Edit
Visited the South Bank location for dim sum, big menu and lots of vegan options! (as well as lots for non-vegans too) I had the vegan dim sum which included crispy gyozas, veg spring roll, spicy gyozas, mushroom & leek dumplings and rice for 16.45!! If you’re feeling particularly hungry you’d probs want to order extras too but the dim sum is a good deal and great if you’re not sure what to order. Service was quick and friendly😄

Good vegan options & nice environment - Edit
Went here for dinner and everything was great. We had fried tofu, vegan bao buns, vegan spring rolls, edamame, and cocktails. It was all very yummy.

Not good, but ok - Edit
I tried the vegan menu, it was good, but it's chain restaurant quality. I wouldn't recommend for anyone, but if I was in the area, looking for something to eat, it's an option.

Too many options to pick from! - Edit
We were struggling for somewhere to eat that wasn’t another ‘burger place’. Don’t get me wrong, I love a burger as much as they next vegan but I really fancied something different. I used the Happy Cow app and this place came up.
Read moreWe arrived and as soon as we were seated was asked if we had any allergies or requirements. We told them we were vegan and they provided us with a separate print out of all the vegan options on the menu. 16 options including 2 desserts! We picked 9 dishes to share between us.
All the food was delicious and served piping hot! I love the baskets some dishes are served in and that everything came when it was ready. My favourite were the vegetable bun’s, they were really nice and very filling. I do think we ordered a tad too much, I think 5-7 dishes to share would of been more than enough.
We had 2 cocktails, the total bill was £68.91 including £10.21 service charge which was added automatically. This service was a bit high but the service really was excellent.
Pros: Loads of delicious vegan options , The food is served when ready so piping hot, Great atmosphere
Cons: Expensive , High service charge added automatically

100% authentic Asian cuisine - Edit
I haven’t had a truly authentic Asian dish since going vegan and I am over the moon that I have discovers this place! Amazing dishes! Takes me back to my backpacking days through Asia in a completely cruelty free way. Highly recommend if you’re after 100% Asian dishes.

Dumplings and bao buns - Edit
Although often busy, this is one of the restaurants on the Southbank that have a better queuing system than most. Pick up a buzzer, grab a seat and maybe a drink upstairs and get seated when your buzzer goes off.
Read moreLarge drinks list including cocktails and mocktails.
Ping pong is really for when you want dumplings, buns and other dishes to share with your friends.
Not many veggie dishes. The stem broccoli appears as vegetarian but not vegan on the menu which doesn’t make sense. I wouldn’t trust the vegetarian marked dishes and double check that they don’t include fish sauce or similar.
The mushroom bao buns and wontons were my favourite.
As many other restaurants in the city, Ping Pong also adds 12.5% service charge to the bill.

Small menu but nice - Edit
Yes it's true that the menu is limited for vegans but at least they're trying. Mine and my girlfriend's meals were good.

A set vegan menu. - Edit
I like that, besides a vegetarian one, they now also have a set vegan menu. So now we can enjoy the same offer and ease of ordering as everyone. Previously i have had to pay more than my mates for the same amount of food. This set menu consists of pretty much some of every dish on the vegan menu. So if you go out for dinner a lot making this a regular would probably be boring.
Read moreThe food was very flavoursome. All dishes were very tasty.
The only thing i found disappointing was that the edamame came out not as a starter but at the same time as the rest of the food.
Pros: Set vegan menu. very tasty.
Cons: Edamame comes together with other food.

Vegan options have been reduced - Edit
Was here 4 weeks ago but now many of the vegan options are no longer on the vegan menu.
Read moreWhat is of concern is that those dishes that have been removed are still on the main menu - so were they not vegan before?
Pros: Has some vegan options
Cons: Reduced options available in the last 4 weeks., Vegan options may not have been vegan after all

Great Vegan Dim Sum - Edit
I think it's great that there's a separate vegan menu here, even though there isn't a great selection. It really simplifies the process and awkward conversations around "can I have this, but with this taken out" and I think more restaurants should do it.
Read moreWe over-ordered quantity wise, looking at the price and thinking that they were small dishes, but there was a generous amount of food per plate.
The quality of the food itself was pretty good, we had the braised chilli rice pot, vegetable spring rolls, vegetable bun, spicy vegetable dumpling and crunchy golden dumpling. My favourite was the vegetable bun, which was surprisingly sweet to the taste.

Pros: Generous portion sizes, Seperate vegan menu , Good food
Cons: Little bit noisy on a peak Saturday night

Not too bad - Edit
It's a good place to satisfy a dumpling crave and they give you a different menu for the vegan options. It was too bad but the price was too high for the order in my opinion.

lame - Edit
We walked in, saw the vegan menu, and walked right out. I uploaded the menu with this review, and it is very short. We didn't think it was worth it with all the other vegan fare in the festival right outside the restaurant. Maybe in desperation.
Read moreCons: vegan menu is tiny

Nice place, matter of taste - Edit
I went there with a friend. It is close to the London Eye and the "Wonderground".
Read moreYou get a menu where you have to tick ✅ the meals you want to have. You also can choose one of the menus they already put together if you want to taste a little if everything and are a vegetarian or eat meat.
If you are a vegan just ask for the vegan menu which shows you the vegan options to choose.
They recommend 3-5 dishes per person to be full.
I chose the three dips, the vegan rice with tofu, black beans and vegetables, the vegetable dumplings and the vegetable sticky rice.
I think if you like traditional Asian food this might be a place for you but if you are used to the "European Asian food" don't expect it to be the same.
I liked the sweet and sour dip and the rice.
The dumplings had an ingredient which I couldn't recognize and didn't really like. The sticky rice came in something like algae leaves and I didn't really know how to eat it.
Maybe that's just because I'm used to the European adapted food and this is an individual choice but I wouldn't go there for a second time.
Pros: nice staff, vegan menu available, lovely plates an
Cons: very individual kind of taste with some foods, not
