    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 :)

    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! :)

    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!

    Pork soup dumplings

    It is one of the food shops inside a chinese grocery market. My friends and I wanted to eat something for breakfast and decided to buy from here. Food is decent and fair price

    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.

    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.

    The boss lady that loves to give us attitude.

I had just landed from New Jersey and arrived tired, jet-lagged, starving, and looking for something delicious near my hotel. Artificial intelligence recommended Just Brunch, and this time, AI absolutely understood the assignment! I ordered the Seafood Lovers Omelet with shrimp and lobster, accompanied by a side salad and biscuit. Between the seafood and eggs, I estimate that I received approximately 50 grams of protein. The portions are not humongous because this is a more gourmet-style restaurant, but the amount was just right for rich, high-quality food. The omelet was delicious, the salad was fresh and flavorful, and the biscuit came with an incredible Cajun sauce. Oh, my Lord! I normally watch my macros, so I only ate about a quarter of the biscuit, but every bite was worth it. The jam was also fantastic. The freshly made pineapple, ginger, and mint lemonade was out of this world. It was refreshing and tasted like something genuinely special--not an ordinary restaurant lemonade. My total was $38.16 before tip, and I left Briana 22% because she provided excellent service and deserved it. Some people may think that close to $50 for brunch is ridiculous, but I see it differently: I could spend about $20 somewhere like Panera and have a basic meal, or I could spend more and have an experience I will actually remember. Just Brunch is not the cheapest option, and this was certainly more indulgent than my everyday breakfast. But if you value taste, quality, presentation, and a memorable meal, it is absolutely worth it. If you're visiting Duluth, especially for work or while staying nearby, don't miss this spot. Amazing food, amazing drink, and an amazing experience!

Well, hate to be frank, but our Souffle Pancake was just very disappointing. While the pancake was nice and fluffy, the toppings and presentation wasn't even close to being as good as they used to be. I felt this was new management, with a whole, new style of doing desserts maybe? In any case, we did think the pancake tasted good...but it was just lacking in the creamy topping, as only the top layer had this creamy base. The lower 2 pancakes had no cream on it...and tasted quite bland. Even the strawberry sauce was minimal...so minimal, I went up to ask for more. Also, the decorative toppings, including the strawberry, were just BLAHHH. If you come here expecting the Strawberry Souffle Pancake of the past, you'll be disappointed. So nope...just not pretty enough for Instagramming. Made me wonder if the rest of the desserts have gone down as well?? For drinks, my husband had Cappuccino, and I had this Oohlong Tea. Not pictured, but the presentation was just passable...and the taste was just OK. If I recall, their drinks used to be presented beautifully as well as their desserts...but from the look of things, that may no longer be true. Guess I may give this place at least another try. Who knows? Maybe it was just an off night?? Hopefully I can upgrade the review on my next v visit...should the dessert and the drink look and taste better. Fingers crossed??

I do not feel as though downtown Duluth truly captures the amazing food scene of the city, but again, an old friend did like it enough to tell me about it. Inside was pretty spacious. High ceilings and bright. You have to go up front and order, and they'll give you a buzzer to let you know when your food is ready. Pretty standard so far. It's not too loud, even with the music playing in the background, so not bad for hanging out with friends after the food is done, though we didn't. We were all pretty disappointed with our food. It wasn't bad, thankfully, it was just meh. We could've literally drove 5 minutes away for better, so we left as soon as we finished. The good thing is you get to choose what protein you want with your dish, which is nice. However, the chicken katsu here is thin. Also, the K-Fried chicken doesn't really mesh with the pasta. It's like a skewer on the side of your main dish. You can eat them separately and be happy enough. I was ok with the bulgogi, but I would've expected better from a Korean establishment. I haven't tried every single protein option, but I won't lie, tofu in pasta isn't the most appealing to me. For the main dishes, it was pretty bland, especially the omurice. You need the egg and the protein for flavor. The Schezwan pasta wasn't even spicy. At least the carbonara was creamy as it should be.

I had the hash dish and some of the huge pancake the hubby ordered. The pancake was basically a cake round, I took a bite when the hubs was at the last quarter of it and it was actually still pretty hot! It was good. It looked 1.5-2" thick and 2 pieces. To me that is suitable to split amongst 8 people. The hash was delicious. Tiny roasted veg topped with your style of eggs. I chose sunny side and it was a perfect pour right into the dish. There were also 2 medium round Idaho potatoes, yum! Most definitely without a doubt will be returning.
