    D1 and I became overcome by 'Dumplingus Needextremus' a condition I passed down to her as the carrier of the rare xiao long bao gene. She has been in Pamplona for six months and had the condition in it's worst form. This place is a very satisfactory cure for the dumpling afflicted. Not a patch on Sydney dumpers but good for an urgent fix.

    This spot was suggested by my sister, we arrived for Happy Hour. I love the ambiance of this place, the decor was on point. We ordered a variety of items to share & I was pleased with them all. Our drinks were pretty tasty too. I do think it's a bit overpriced for the portion size, but, I would definitely return & recommend it to others.

    Ping Pong is my love. It's a chain, but I don't care. Who cares if it's delicious and healthy? I've never actually eaten in the restaurant, but I've picked up the take away. That's a pretty good sign though right, because they've packaged it up, and I have to take it home, unpack it, and it's still phenomenal? Yes I think it's a good sign. Anyway, my husband and I like ordering a bunch of dim sum from their menu and just sharing it. The black prawn dumpling is by far the best dumpling ever ever ever. Holy gazolie it's incredible. We also like the mushroom and scallop, veggie, edamame. Really, they're all very good. I also like their soup- thai style mushroom soup- it's very strong with lemongrass but it's really nice. And their rice pot- tofu, mushroom, and black bean rice pot- it's quite big and delicious. Yay Ping Pong. It's got a lot of variety, and yummy, healthy vegetarian/vegan food. Yum. A great option if you're in a hurry but want something that is warm and not terrible for you.

    I really like Ping Pong as it is the perfect place to go with a group of pals and is one of those sociable meals where everyone can tuck in mezze style. The decor is simple, with low seating, dim lighting and square glass tables. We all usually go for selection of dim sum, but I would recommend that if you are hungry or have some manly men with you who enjoy a proper feast, opt for a solo meal. The dim sum is wonderful though, particularly the spicy meat options (there are a number of different types) and the cocktail list is quite extensive. The lavender herbal teas are interesting as come in a glass and as you drink, the leaves expand - the innocent tea became quite the talking point of our table! It does get expensive however as it is easy to get carried away with the ordering so I would recommend you make firm decisions at the start of the meal as to how much you want. Definitely a winner for me though as the place is relaxing, fun and a sociable way to have a meal with friends.

    I know everyone raves about Ping Pong, and rightly so. Clean, minimal interirors, funky menus and staff who know the dim from their sum, it's a great place for a first date, or just meeting with friends. All the Ping Pong restaurants have a great vibe, but i really like this one in particular as it's always got a great buzz. Yes, the dim sum are delicious, but to go for a decent meal if you're hungry, it's not great value as I usually get distracted by the relatively cheap price per plate, but having to order copious amounts to feel satisfied. They have an enormous list of dim sum, with a variety of fillings and they really are divine. I'd recommend not going in super-starving though, unless you're willing to part with some serious cash!

    There are two floors to this PP so even if it looks busy give it a go if you're passing and looking for some dim sum. The whole chain is all 'cocktail Chinese food' - it's set to quite modern, slightly westernized design and most the clientele are usually local office workers with a smattering of tourist. The colours are much darker and atmospheric than a traditional Chinese restaurant and the menu reflects this in it's more minimalist edge. I think your best bet is to share a few dishes between the people you're eating with as most of the dim sum is typically small and bite size so you can easily mix and match. Prices aren't extortionate but again more than you'd pay in a more just off Chinatown sort of location. Try the jasmine tea after, they serve it so that the plant sort of flower's as you drink it. Give it a go.

    Only a short review: Awesome variety of tasty Dim Sum! We have enjoyed following Dim Sum this evening: - Chicken & garlic Dim Sum (our favourite!) - Duck Spring Roll (crispy) - Char Siu Bun - Beef filet dumpling Everything was really delicious!

    The atmosphere was great, the food tasted fresh and was, for the most part, great/delicious. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The food is a bit pricey, and some items were ok in taste, but not great. Solid four stars.

    From the street, this place looked empty and sketchy, but once inside, it opens up into a huge, and well-frequented, restaurant. The dim sum was not presented in the way I am used to - on a tray, pushed by an old Chinese woman, and you just grab what you want. In this joint, you order from a menu, like tapas. But it was still good stuff.

    Ahhhh!!! This place is really cool!!! And they have a book of yummy drinks that are two for one on…read moreSunday and they taste really good and they're amazing!!!! Can you tell I don't get out much? At least for drinks. Anyway. We came here with some friends and took advantage of their 2 for 1 offer (meaning you get two drinks for 10 pounds). It impressed me that they served really good drinks for such a good price. I personally loved The Last Word (super strong but great flavour) and the Elderflower Margarita (YUM!). They both packed a punch but weren't so overpowered with liquor that they didn't taste nice. The bar staff was fun as well. The one that wasn't popular was the honey one. I can't remember the name but none of us liked it. It's a cool bar!

    I was gonna give this place 3 stars, but on reflection of the whole experience it's a definite 2,…read more2.5 at an absolute push. And I don't give out 2 stars lightly. This was one of the few places the bf and I had booked to go to during a brief 3-day trip to London, due to the 2 for £10 cocktails and general good reviews it had. I kinda wish we hadn't! Upon arrival the place was practically empty (but it was like bang on 6pm on a Monday, so a lot of people hadn't arrived for happy hour yet) and staff showed us where our reserved booth was. All good to start off with, the place looks pretty cool inside and the tunes were good too. Here's where it starts to go downhill. I skipped up to the bar having decided with the bf which cocktails to get (at this point we didn't realise 2 for £10 meant two of the SAME cocktail, because they never mention it) and ordered a Strawberry Daiquiri for the bf, plus a Chocolate Martini for myself. Nope, couldn't get the one I wanted as they were out of chocolate liqueur, so it was back to my seat to try and decide on another. I was gutted but excited about my next choice, the Show Me The Honey. NOPE. They were out of honey vodka so I couldn't have that one either! I get that obviously it's a busy bar at weekends, but I thought that was an extremely poor show - the staff weren't hugely apologetic about it either which didn't exactly help. Finally deciding on a Russian Spring Punch (yay, they had all the ingredients for that one!) I ordered the drinks. The bartender said "you know it's 2 for £10 yeah?" but again didn't mention the fact that it's two of the same cocktail for £10. Once he started making up the drinks I of course caught on to what was happening, whereupon he looked at me like I was an idiot for not knowing something they never openly tell you. Great. I begrudgingly paid for our drinks (I wouldn't really have minded except the bf wasn't sure if he'd want more than one cocktail and we now possessed four, plus I was really wanting to try a couple of cocktails instead of two of the same one) and went back to the booth, more than a bit deflated by this point. The cocktails were...fine. The champagne in my cocktail wasn't the nicest but it did the job of course. The atmosphere in the bar was...also fine. But that was it. Fine. It stayed pretty quiet the whole time we were there and I guess just wasn't the whole cocktail bar experience I was expecting. We then made our way to Cahoots where we had an absolute belter of a time and it totally saved our night, goes to show that sometimes you really do get what you pay for!

I'm not sure how close this bar is to Brazilian nightlife, but to me this bar feels typically Brazilian in cadence. I just love the atmosphere, the enthusiasm, the music, you feel transported to another place and I just don't understand how very few people, even those living in Camden, don't know about this bar! I was introduced by a lovely Yelp friend and try and get back whenever I'm in Camden as I really love this place. To me this is one of Camden's real hidden gems. So why do I love it? Let me count the ways: Live music: I'm not sure if there is someone on every night, but I'm always shocked by them hosting some fantastic, extremely talented musicians. Intimate setting: As a tiny little venue you huddle around small tables, it feels cozy, personable and warm. Art work: Walls, ceilings and tables are plastered with art, pictures, paintings collages drape all surfaces. It's like some hipster arty underground cavern... like so many bars in Shoreditch are trying to achieve, but this place isn't trying, it has charm and personality without having to try. Caipirinhas and mojitos: Using traditional Brazilian ingredients the cocktails here are just superb... and after a few you can't help but sink back into your seat and enjoy the ambiance. I'd also recommend the Cuba Libra, I'm usually not a fan, but would make an exception here. As a cocktail bar you need to expect to pay cocktail prices, but the live music, amazing atmosphere and art are free.

Apparently the owners want it to feel like someone's living room and it definitely has a relaxed and locals-come-here vibe, although our seating area was in what was once a VIctorian police cell, which was probably less cosy back in the day. The interesting concept here is to serve small bites of food tailored to each house cocktail which a beautifully presented and explained, as are the cocktails themselves. We sampled almost all of the house cocktail menu and generally everyone was very impressed. I think several people really liked the park bench, with its strong apple flavour, although I personally found it a bit one-note. In fact, I wouldn't say any of the cocktails here got it quite right for my palate, some of the balancing of flavours didn't quite work for me and none of them particularly blew me away. They were pretty good, but there weren't any I found incredibly delicious and "incredibly delicious" is really what I am looking for in a cocktail. I had the Get Me a Bourbon, I'm Hungry and Lost in Alaska. The first was a short drink which wasn't massively memorable, contra my favourite ever bourbon cocktail, the fantastic bourborini once on the specials at Pitt Cue Co. Lost in Alaska I thought was nice although others said they thought it tasted medicinal! Service was great - helpful, patient and attentive. It's expensive, especially now I live in Manchester and can get better cocktails at the Fitzgerald for £4 less, but I would still recommend Knowhere Special, especially if you're nearby having dinner. They have such an inventive and passionate approach, it's very impressive already and I'm sure will just get better with time.

The interior is small, cramped, and homely like walking into a hippie's apartment. Our table was in its own private alcove with a low vaulted ceiling. We had one server who was outstanding - knowledgeable, excited, and outgoing. The house cocktail flavors were all over the place. Some were good and others were great. They are all super weird for sure, so you'll get a kick just reading off the descriptions. They are pricier, but not outrageous. Many also come with little snacks to pair with the cocktail. If you don't want something crazy, you can order regular cocktails as well. Neat experience and certainly recommended to try out for novelty's sake. One of the best experiences we had in London!

There options are plenty many however they do only waffles (both sweet and savoury) and no toast. I swapped the scrambled egg with poached egg and added an avocado as an extra. My breakfast was therefore, savoury waffles with smoked salmon, cream cheese, poached eggs and crispy capers with extra avocados. I complete devoured my brunch after being hungry for just over 3 hours. The food was great, something different from standard Sunday brunch. However, due to the healthiness quotient, I will not frequent this place and only treat myself maybe once in good few months. The staff were friendly and quick. The general vibe of the place was great. Would highly recommend for anyone to go at least once.
