The Best Asian Restaurants in London

Asian food has taken London by storm, such that there are Asian restaurants and grocery-shops of all origins popping up way beyond the remits of the famous and beloved China Town. We have devoured through the best of what London has to offer, so you can get a taste of Asia too.

Ping Pong

Ping Pong specialises in dim sum; a traditional Chinese cuisine which usually consists of a variety of delicious “small-eats” served on small bowls or platters. Dishes range from adventurous sides such as the green tea custard bun into bite-size traditional dishes including crunchy golden dumplings and beef kimchi gyoza. Ping Pong host a brilliant Sunday special dubbed ‘Lazy Sumdays’ where customers can get unlimited dim sum for just £24.95 per person, or £11.95 for your under 12s. If you wish to add a bottle of prosecco, your Lazy Sumdays is still only £35.oo per person.
