Ping Pong, a dim sum chain with 12 locations in London, has permanently closed its restaurants after 20 years of operation. The closure was announced on Instagram, where the company expressed pride in their independent hospitality brand. Fans reacted with disappointment and sorrow, sharing how they would miss specific dishes. Kurt Zdesar, the founder who left in 2007, commented on the challenging economic environment that contributed to the closure. At the time of closure, four branches remained in London.
"It's a wrap. After 20 unforgettable years, all Ping Pong locations are now permanently closed. We're incredibly proud of what we built, an independent hospitality brand full of creativity, flavour, and soul."
"Noooooo. You were the best dim sum. Where am I going to get the veggie buns and sticky rice from?!"
"This is incredibly sad news! Wish we'd have known. Would've loved to visit it one last time."
"The UK has become increasingly difficult to survive this current economical environment. Very sad news."
