Ping Pong

Having walked by Ping Pong (3322 N. Broadway, Chicago) several times over the last few years, I finally had the opportunity to eat there. The interior is painted white with a very minimalist decor. It is fairly small and an additional half dozen tables are on the sidewalk. Floor to ceiling wide doors made the two feel connected. The young wait staff all wore striped clothes. There was a nice variety of Asian and Asian-inspired options on the menu. I ordered Pad Woon Sen (glass noodles and vegetables with chicken) which was adequate and expected. The clientele was varied with some older and some younger people. The ping pong connection was apparent when the check was delivered to the table (see picture). The food and service were worthy of a return visit but the music was so loud that conversation was difficult.
