Husband and Wife Lung Slices (not really lung) and Pork Belly with Preserved Vegetables and Mantou
Scott S.

Thinking back on my delicious dinner at Ping's Bistro in Fremont, two things stand out for me: the delicious food, and the heat level. We ordered a variety of dishes, and all of them were fantastic. As my friend mentioned, a little bit saucier than you'd typically find in China, but still good. And we ordered everything extra spicy. The "Premium stir-fried beef with yellow peppers (with broth, Angus beef with brisket fat)" was a great saucy start to the meal, it had a nice sour flavor to go with the mild-medium heat and was very fresh tasting. "Husband and Wife Lung Slices" was good, standard and a smidge oily, but tasty. The tendons (there are no lungs, just beef and beef tendons) were cooked nicely, with just a hint of chew but tender. Again mild-medium "Stone Pot Flavored Frog" is where things started to get really good. This was one of the best dishes of the night, and the best frog I've ever had. So tender, with a nice crispy exterior, and so much flavor. This was delicious. If you've never tried frog, this is the one to get. A nice break from the heat was "Braised Pork Belly with Preserved Mustard Greens". I was told that this was a bit leaner than what you'd expect in China, but for me the meltingly soft, rich pork belly and chewy greens made into little mantou-tacos was great. It has a nice sweet/sour flavor and zero heat. Now, by far the spiciest dish we ordered was "Double Pepper Chicken Noodles". Delicious noodles, fresh chilies, great almost crispy texture from the wok, but this was firmly in medium-hot category. Everyone started to sweat and get runny noses eating this one. But the flavor was addictive. Some notes - the parking lot is big, but you may have to walk a bit. This is because this restaurant on a Saturday night was absolutely packed. I came around 6:30 and there were 9 tables on the waitlist ahead of me. I wouldn't say it moved quickly, and the area to wait in is cramped. So best bet is to come early or go wait somewhere else. They have an online waitlist that sends a text when your table is ready, so there's no need to stick around being jostled by people entering and exiting. Service was efficient. My friend ordered (in Mandarin) so I didn't follow what was happening, but the food arrived very hot and very quickly, and they nicely pack up your leftovers themselves. Overall - fantastic. I found some new favorites, had some good versions of things I already like, and while it certainly isn't cheap it was worth it. Oddly enough they added an 18% tip automatically. Fair enough, I would normally tip 20% for dinner but if 18% works I'm not complaining. Unfortunately the location isn't convenient for me and the food would be a bit challenging for most of my friends, so I probably won't be back soon. But anyone who wants some authentic and spicy and interesting Chinese dishes would be happy coming here.

I really wanted to like this place but unfortunately it wasn't my favorite compared to some other places in the area. My friend and I were looking forward to the intestines but unfortunately they don't make it anymore. We diverted and ended up getting mapo tofu, pork belly, and chogqing chicken. There wasn't that extra kick that I feel like most other Hunan places may have. Service was good. They were attentive to refilling water and gave us or check quickly when we asked for it. The place is also quite clean, spacious, and looks nice. There's a parking lot up front as well.

重庆辣子鸡Chongqing Style Spicy Chicken
Kyle G.

My friends and I came for a late lunch around 1 PM. After ordering, all four dishes arrived extremely quickly--within about 5 to 10 minutes. We ordered the Chongqing-Style Spicy Chicken, sautéed eggplant with string beans, steamed pork belly with preserved vegetables, and the boiled spicy fish fillet with pickled cabbage. Overall, the food was delicious. Our surprise favorite was the eggplant dish. As you'll see in the photo, the spicy chicken looks buried under chili peppers, but there's actually a generous amount of chicken underneath. A solid Chinese spot--slightly on the pricier side, but worth it if you're looking to treat yourself.

Came here after seeing my friend post a picture of this garlic fish, and she told us it was so good. So we got the yellow croaker fish and it was indeed very delicious. My family are not into spicy foods but it looks like this place serves lots of spicy food. Good thing they were able to accommodate not spicy on all our orders. So, that's a big plus with my family bcuz we have been places where they can't adjust how spicy the dish is. Love the decoration of the place, very modern feel with the murals style walls. Everything went well but one thing we noticed is all our food all had the same taste. Might be the sauces used were all the same. Fish was definitely worth it.

擂辣椒茄子 Eggplant with Grind Peppers (cold dish)
Lore M.

My co-worker wanted me to try this place so she ordered for us on doordash. I was amazed how good the food was and it still had great presentation for being a to go order. I love spicy and garlic and the dishes were packin with those flavors! Today's order: Sliced pork in spicy garlic sauce with cucumber 10/10 Eggplant with grind peppers 10/10 Sautéed eggplant with string beans 9/10 The pork and cucumber in spicy garlic sauce is incredibly delicious! Served cold and it's surprisingly refreshing. The sauce is more like chili oil and also has bean sprouts inside soaked up in that chili oil. I loved everything about this dish. Never had cold eggplant before but wow it was really good with lots of flavor and the green chili's in there are super spicy! Sautéed eggplant with string beans were good, could be a little more spicy but was still really good. String beans had good crunch too. Will keep coming back for sure.

This place had a long wait line on a Saturday night. After the meal, I feel that it worth the wait because the dishes that my party ordered were so good. My favorite were the lotus root soup and the steam eggs entrees. The other 5 dishes are good too. Prices are towards the expensive side, but the portion was big. The ambiance of the restaurant is also very nice too. I had a very enjoyable dinner experience here. Definitely recommend you give this place a try.

Emeline T.

I've been thinking about/craving the food here for weeks since I tried it. Everything we had was flavorful, rich, and delicious, and most things were at least a little bit spicy. We had a party of 4 on a Saturday for dinner and there was a pretty long wait (at least 30 mins), so just be prepared for that weekend crowd. Top picks of the menu were the two pork dishes we got -- pork belly with preserved veggies and sliced pork in garlic sauce. I was honestly full midway through the meal but kept eating because that's how good it was! Will definitely be back.

Braised chicken, 沸腾鱼片-巴沙鱼Fish Fillet with Flaming Chili Oil(Basa)
Francie M.

My friend took me to this place and I enjoyed trying lots of new flavors and foods! Our eyes were bigger than our stomaches so we over ordered but we wanted to try everything! - kumquat green tea: comes with gelled chia seeds and it's the perfect refresher to wash everything down. On the sweeter side but in a good way - rice with house special: flavorful pork knuckle (not too gristly but watch out for a few pieces of cartilage) with pickled spicy cabbage and rice. Don't fill up too soon because there's so much more to eat! - bitter melon: I had always to try this. It was bitter but nicely offset from the copious amounts of garlic. My friend also reported it was on the milder side of bitter for reference - one of the stir fried greens: I forgot which, but it was tasty - steamed egg with oyster mushrooms: need to learn how to make this when I'm sick it was so comforting - lemongrass fish: so flavorful with herbs and so flaky. Lots of bones so watch out when eating - braised chicken with wood ear mushrooms: this was the only disappointment. $40 for a small amount of chicken and mushrooms and the chicken was mostly bone and cartilage? Logistics: - mostly indoor seating with one outdoor folding table - strip mall parking right outside - we waited about 10-15 min for 3 people on a Saturday night, it's popular

Returned with friends who like spicy food, its the same old oily greasy food. All I could taste was chili oil, salt & hot pepper. No wonder my none-Chinese friends never want Chinese food when we go out...sigh

This is a very upscale Sichuan restaurant. One of the only places that get really spicy. While I like a lot of Malay and they do not disappoint! The service is outstanding. I have enjoyed each dish. I highly recommend this place.

Kai W.

Pretty great Sichuan style restaurants in the are. The food has always been consistently good for us and even keeps well when ordered as delivery. We are big fans of the fried rice as well as the stir fried vegetables here. The restaurant itself is a little small but cozy. If you have a party of four I would try to get one of the booths in the middle of the room. Service is quick and professional and the food comes out quick. If you aren't a spice veteran you can certainly ask them to tone down the spiciness for you, they're very accommodating for adjustments. Plenty of vegetarian options as well if there are diet restrictions. Check them out if you get the chance to! They're popular enough that they recently expanded to Socal in Hacienda Heights!

Our family's favorite Chinese restaurant in the area! The cauliflower dry pot is our favorite but we love how they have seasonal dishes they switch out once in awhile. My mom doesn't eat pork and they always great about modifying certain dishes to not use lard.

Kelvin L.

Pings bistro offers an exhilarating dining experience with its bold, spicy flavors, heavily featuring peppers and Sichuan spices. The dishes pack a punch, delivering a fiery yet tantalizing taste that leaves a lasting sting on the tongue as the numbing spice is powerful! (Some say the spice will make your eyes blue if you consume for a long time) For those who relish intense heat and authentic Sichuan cuisine, Pings bistro is a popular spot for many Chinese folks and if you are looking for quality & spicy Chinese food - this is it!

Did the restaurant recently move?

They should still be at the same location, I just saw them last week. But they did recently open a second location.

Do they have gluten free dish or menu?

The spicy tripe dish should be gluten free.

I wanna book a table (7-8 people) for tmr night at 7:00pm. But no one answers the phone. Is that a wrong num?

I dont know, sorry. This place tends to run very much like its sitting in China. So, you might be better off just dropping by to ask. Otherwise you will be sitting outside for quite a while where there is no seating.

We don't eat at a lot of Chinese seafood banquet restaurants in the Bay Area, but we came here for…read morea family dinner, and it reminded me of HL peninsula and various seafood / dimsum places in Vancouver. Pearl Bay has high ceilings and a gigantic screen, and it seems like a lot of wedding banquets take place here. They have a hot deal weekday special that's $488 for a table of 10-12, and it was a lot of food. I think they limit it to a few tables a night. Service was not bad - they refilled ice water multiple times, which was surprising for a Chinese restaurant. That said, it would have been nice if they had actually announced what dishes we were getting. The menu included: - Chicken soup - Stir fried beef with vegetables - Cold marinated chicken and geoduck - Fish maw with pea sprouts and shiitakes - Fried egg tofu - Steamed fish - Twin lobsters with vermicelli - Suckling pig with steamed buns - Fried rice The highlight was the fish roe fried rice: great texture and flavor. Other things were variable in flavor. For example, the lobster was good, but the vermicelli texture and flavor were lacking. The banquet menu we got was good value and was more than enough food. I am definitely interested in trying their weekend dim sum.

Everything is more expensive everywhere these days. The thing is, this place is solid. I've always had a good meal here. Everyone I've ever shared a meal with here has always enjoyed it. So, maybe the lower rating will scare others off. Personally, I'll enjoy eating here over and over again. BTW, their baked pork bun, chowfun, and tofu wrapped pork/mushroom dishes are delicious.

We started with the One Piece Mixed Salad (tofu skin, vermicelli noodles, woodear mushrooms, carrots, celery, seaweed, and peanuts, all mixed in a savory, acidic, and spicy dressed ) and the Shredded Potato Salad, both of which made for nice appetizers. We also had the Cold Skin Noodles (Liangpi), a bowl of wide, chewy noodles mixed with a savory sauce and topped with tofu puffs, shredded cucumber , bean sprouts, and a creamy sesame sauce. Hailing from Xi'an, the Braised Pork Pita Burger was fatty pieces of pork braised in a savory sauce, served in a dry round of "pita," but even better was the Spicy Cumin Lamb Pita Burger, which contained a tantalizingly spicy, flavorful filling of tender spiced lamb. The Signature Beef Bone Noodle Soup came with noodles in a simple broth, topped with three bone-in beef ribs. The meat on the ribs was rather tough and sinewy, and the soup on the bland side, but the presentation of the dish was definitely impressive. Finally, the House Special Braised Dry Noodle was a bowl of noodles topped with a savory sauce with lots of different dried ingredients including tofu, s mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, and red bell peppers. For each noodle dish, you could select from a variety of noodles, but my favorite by far was the 2cm "General Wide" noodles, which had an amazing chewy texture. Overall, this was a great restaurant for authentic Northern Chinese noodle dishes and other eats. Everything came out from the kitchen in just minutes after we ordered. The tasty dishes came at a good value, and the service was super friendly too!

There seems to have some menu change since the last time we came. We ordered 2 dry noodles and a cold spicy pig ears appetizer. The pig ears were piled up with no fillers - something hard to find these days. You can select the type of noodles so I picked the widest while my husband picked the middle one. I love the el dente texture of the noodles giving it a bit of chew. My braised pork belly dry noodles was not dry... very watery which was not to my liking. I want my dry noodles with as little gravy as possible. The flavor was light despite all the gravy, but the veggies and one egg made it up. The house special dry noodles had just the right amount of gravy for taste but not enough ingredients. I was wondering why the restaurant is called One Piece... I guess the entire bowl of noodles is one piece noodle as it was hard to eat as all the noodles are tangled. No complaints here just need to be careful with the splashes on your shirt. Overall the food was good, service was decent as we were offered actual menu instead of only using QR code to order. The place was not small with plenty of table. A bit noise as with all Chinese restaurants.

They were so big and juicy, but I'd probably pass on the beef noodle soup. What I didn't appreciate was, we were only halfway done with our meal when the server put down our check. We hadn't asked for it and half the restaurant was empty with no customers waiting for a table. I put the check aside (inside the table, not on the outer side of the table) to continue to eat and in the time span of 5 minutes, multiple people asked if it was ready. If it was ready and we were done eating, we would let you know we're ready and you would see that we were done. I don't like the feeling of being rushed to eat, especially if there aren't people waiting for tables! We ended up packing everything up to go and brought the food home to finish. This was our fourth or fifth time here and I don't think we will be coming back.

The portions were good for the price and you get plenty of food. I don't know the weight, but definitely was filling and I typically get 1.8 pounds at other malatang shops which can cost more.
