Ping Pong

Set over two floors right next to the Royal Festival Hall, this dim sum restaurant is buzzing at all times of day with great happy hour deals, bottomless brunches and fantastic dum sum platters that are designed for sharing.

Ping Pong is one of South Bank's later opening restaurants, making it an ideal spot to grab a bite both before and after a show. The dim sum menu is extensive and has something for everyone with plenty of gluten-free and vegan options.

Dumplings, baos, buns and gyoza come in all shapes and sizes and there are always interesting seasonal specials to try. If you are struggling to choose opt for one of the great value set menus that come with a bit of everything, or alternatively, there's a choice of different rice and noodle bowls if dim sum isn't quite your thing.

For kids there's the Little Pandas menu which also comes with crayons, colouring in and puzzles to keep the little ones busy.

If you like a good deal look out for Ping Pong's numerous special offers and meal deals.

The Don’t Give a Shiitake happy hour runs from 3pm-5pm on weekdays and all drinks and dim sum are half-price. On Saturdays the Bottomless Brunch is the perfect way to elevate your Saturday afternoon (from 12pm-4pm) and the Lazy Sumdays deal bags you unlimited dim sum for only £25.95 per adult (£11.95 for under 12s).
