    Wontons in chili oil
    Vivian L.

    My go-to place for Taiwanese beef noodle soup. It hits every time. The beef is always soo tender, and lots of big chunks. They don't skimp out, and reasonably priced. The consistency of the noodles is always perfect too. The wontons in chili oil were a bit bland though. But also not skimped, and reasonably priced.

    This is a small little food stall inside the Great Wall Chinese supermarket. They have a bunch of popular, traditional Chinese breakfast foods like youtiao (fried dough), scallion pancake, tofu pudding, hot soy milk, etc. I wanted to order everything on the menu but had to restrain myself cause we didn't want to be in a food coma for the rest of the day lol. So I got sweet hot soy milk along with youtiao, savory tofu pudding, and beef pancake. My bf got pork congee from another food stall. The youtiao wasn't as fluffy as I hoped but still good, especially after soaking in the soy milk. Ah reminds me of my childhood. *happy tears* The tofu pudding aka Dou Fu Nao was my favorite! It's still wasn't the same as the ones I had growing up in China but the flavor came very close. I wish they threw in some pickled veggies lol. My bf loved the congee but it's such a pain to order from the other food stall. Meanly because the lady at the register had such a thick canto accent that my poor mandarin level had a hard time understanding what she was saying. And she got impatient when I asked to repeat stuff lol. Typical service you'd expect from a food stall I guess. But if you want some authentic Chinese food definitely check this place out! They also have photos of every dish they server so it'll help you see what every dish is like before you order.

    The absolutely giant shao bing you tiao and soy milk. The perfect Taiwanese breakfast :)
    Matthew O.

    I absolutely love Ping's Place! It warms my heart to see Taiwanese food start to get more recognition. I especially love this place because they serve very traditional Taiwanese breakfast items that you are hard pressed to find in other places. The warm soy milk is just so silky smooth with just the right amount of sweetness. The egg pancake has that slightly crispy edge combined with the slightly chewy pancake and soft egg that coats the top of it. Dip it in some chili oil and it is delicious. Finally, the scallion pancake is just so wonderfully crispy and flaky. It is also a good size and makes sharing with 2 or 3 other people really easy. This is a go to of mine for Taiwanese breakfast. If you want a similar experience, be sure to check this place out! :)

    Cruller, savory soy milk, sweet soy milk, fan tuan

    Just moved to Athens GA and was so excited to find this place! We had all the staple breakfast foods and they were yummy! Will be back soon to try the beef noodle soup and other lunch items.

    Fried cruellers and sweet tofu bits
    Karen Z.

    Inside, Great Wall, this is my most visited food stall. They have the best, nostalgic, Chinese breakfast of fried crullers, soy milk, and sweet soy bits (豆腐花). Of course, service is okay (even if you speak Chinese), but I don't mind that at all, as long as I get the delicious food!! I showed my partner this combination, of dipping fried crullers into sweet soy milk, and she's hooked!

    Salt pepper chicken bento
    Michelle L.

    Pandemic-era review: STILL DELICIOUS! Salt and pepper chicken bento, chicken fried rice were super yummy, and I was so happy to hear that they have douhua (listed as tofu soup on the menu): if you get the sweet version, as I did, it is a delightful dessert with a lightly sweet and gingery soup and melt-in-your-mouth soft tofu. 18 bucks all told, for two entrees and one treat! Plexiglass barrier between customers and the staff is up, there are stickers on the floor to remind customers to distance and all staff had masks on. Already thinking about the next time I can come back!

    Pork and rice
    Steven D.

    $7 for a fried pork cutlet with rice, veggies, and egg. The friend recommend the pork chop rice platter. The large portion was pretty filling. It consists of a plate of rice topped with a nice portion of crispy pork chop. There's a hard-boiled brown egg, bok choy, bean sprouts, tofu, and other various veggies. Nothing about the food really stood out except for the price. The quality/price ratio was ok. The quantity/price ratio was excellent. There's free water at the front. They charge extra if you use cards. Would I come here again? Sure. I like food stalls at Asian grocery stores because it's convenient and I don't have to wait for servers.

    The boss lady that loves to give us attitude.
    Michelle L.

    This rude owner boss lady. If you're that annoyed to go to work true. Close your shop. We asked to put one of our foods for togo and she told us no you do it yourself. Having a bad morning? It 11am and giving people attitude already. If we asked you for food for togo then wouldn't it be easier for you to put it for togo instead of giving it to us on your plates and we need it for togo anyways. What is the whole point of this attitude. People like this just stay at home. Don't open the shop.

    Taiwanese Pork Chop Bento
    Will C.

    A neat haven for lovers of Taiwanese cuisine. Most of the staples are here: beef noodle soup, bentos, breakfast items. And it's located in the Great Wall food court, which is convenient-ish though I'd wish the market made it easier to move between the market and the food court if one has a cart. Got two bentos, an egg scallion pancake, and a fried crueller/toasted bing combo. The food was pretty good, no complaints there. With the bentos, I particularly liked how all the necessary elements of a Taiwanese bento were there--pickled vegetables, minced pork (and gravy) over rice, the tea egg, greens--as well as the inclusion of tomato-egg-tofu on the side. It's a lot of food for a good price. I was too full to eat much of the other items, but the bite or two I had of each suggested they all checked out. I really only have two critiques. The first is that I wish the pork chop was bone-in, as is the norm in Taiwanese take-out shops. That way, the chop is a bit thicker and meaty, and the bone lents more flavor to the chop. In contrast, the thin, boneless one Ping's uses feels like it came out of the freezer and not particularly meaty/. It's rather reminiscent of pork katsu that you get in Hawaiian plate lunches, though credit to Ping's for getting the breading and seasoning down. The other critique is the 3% credit card surcharge, which is applied regardless of the subtotal. Other stalls in the GW food court have credit card surcharges as well, but all of them waive it if you spend a $5 or $10 minimums; Ping's is the only one that applies it universally. When I asked the woman behind the counter why that was the case, her response was too complicated for my lousy Chinese. But I think she said that their POS software applied it automatically, which I'm skeptical and/or think they should change. Honestly, I'd be fine if they just added 25 cents to each menu item because it's far more annoying than feeling like you're getting nickel-and-dimed. Anyway, dumb credit card surcharges aside, the food is good, affordable, and in generous portions. I'll visit again, and will undoubtedly complain about the surcharge again as well.

For the Beef Bulgogi Cheese Fries, the bulgogi is good, the fries are not. These fries are from the frozen section at Costco, make no mistake. They are bland, 2/5 star fries. Even if the bulgogi was on top of better fries, the bulgogi is dry and the cheese on it isn't melty or saucy, so the fries and the topping don't mix together well. Just a pile of dry food.

Always hated this rule for every restaurant, but I get it if you have a special and hundreds of customers. We were one of 3 parties on a weekday brunch, super slow. We also ordered the traditional breakfast and a kids breakfast. But instead of bacon, we wanted a croissant for the kids meal. They are both $5 in the menu when ordered separately. First the server said they didnt know (weird) then said they would check and left for 5 minutes. The answer was no. So I paid an extra $5 and added a croissant. I ate the bacon, which improved my salmon Benedict. But neither the croissant nor bacon felt like $5. Kids meal is now the cost of a regular. So I recommend if you dont want any substitutions, try this place. I wont be coming back. It really irks me that you cant just put bread instead of bacon on a kids meal. You aren't a robot, and you are not busy. You are also not getting me as a patron anymore. P.S. the Croissant alone was not worth $5. I rate it a 3 out of 5 on its own.
