Ping Pong (Hampstead)

I've been to other Ping Pong restaurants and they're hit and miss. The dim sum is okay, but pales in comparison to most of London's more established dim sum restaurants. What really galls me is the compulsory 12.5% service charge in a restaurant where you write down your own order and usually get bad service to boot!

Ping Pong restaurants seem to be under-staffed wherever I go, and staff run around making every effort not to make eye contact. It's often not their fault, there simply just isn't enough of them.

At first we liked having more dim sum options around London as we don't live particularly close to those we like best, but now I've reached a point where I'm willing to make the trip for better food, better service and then I can choose to tip accordingly (I tip generously, but hate being charged for nothing) .
