I think it's the late opening hours which makes Ping On such a Stockbridge institution. Also perhaps because we're all into retro, kitsch things and it's certainly that - cute net curtains and worn tables make it a perfect place to spend a drinking break.
However, being cosy and reliable is one thing - being chewy and bland is another. Even though it's a great place to eat n' chat it's not particularly great in the food department. Everything's a bit of a strain on the jaw and really isn't the most tasty.
The staff were friendly and confident and the price seemed to be lower than a take away. I will be back here but definitely not for the grub. -

The food is merely okay, although I don't know why they fried their roast duck and still called it roast duck.
However, what I find unacceptable is that the sit in prices are different than the delivery/takeaway prices. That's...really damn weird, and the price differences are actually quite large.
Wouldn't recommend this place unless you were up late and were jonesing for some Chinese. -

Pleasant, good service, and reasonably priced. Enjoyed the shrimp chow mein (soft noodles).

This is decent, solid Chinese food. Nothing fancy, nothing to get too excited about, but a place we wouldn't mind eating at again. The food was tasty enough. The decor and drinks selection at the restaurant are nothing special, so I think we're more likely to get this as take-out next time around.

'Emily, you HAVE to go to Ping on, it's like, amazing, yah yah yah' were the words I heard walking a rather tiddly and posh friend back home to Stockbridge the other night. I had heard about it, as it is open very late and feeds the drunk 2am market. What's not to like?
Well, I made the mistake of eating here sober. Don't get me wrong - it was edible, but only just. I had crispy beef and my friend had sweet and sour chicken, but they both tasted exactly the same. The rice was really cold too, which I'm always wary of following a less-than-pleasant experience in Tenerife with bad rice.
The shop itself is quite cool in it's own way...maybe unintentionally so but cool nevertheless. I think that going here after a night out is the best way to experience PingOn, inebriating the senses.
