    Ordered from both the dim sum and entree menu. Pretty decent food. Was looking forward to The Nancy Special the most and it is really homey, but I wouldn't rush to recommend it. Next time, I would just stick to dim sum. Pretty chill vibe inside for a Sunday brunch. Chill workers.

    This place is really solid! The staff is friendly and the food is delicious! The portions are really big so it's a good place to share plates. I had the beef and broccoli and it was delicious. They also give you complimentary tea which was nice.

    In the heart of China town, the food delicious. It's our second time here, we come for the dim sum on the weekend. My only regret is that they don't have the pushcarts

    More ribs, more dumplings, and chicken feet
    Carol R.

    Came back home to New York City to attend my high school reunion. Met a few longtime friends in Chinatown for lunch. Hadn't been to the area in almost a decade and most of my favorite places were gone. But Ping's is still around. I'm not even sure it carries the same name as it did when we used to visit it more than a decade ago. And the server confirmed that it had changed owners. But it is the same busy (and a little noisy) establishment with many diners, lots of steps, two stories, and some of the best dim sum in town. Service is very accommodating and quite friendly. I did get a fried rice dish when I ordered traditional sticky rice (cooked in banana leaf). And they didn't have any steamed custard buns (Nai Wong Bao). But we enjoyed lots of shrimp dumplings, steamed ribs, snow pea tips, squid, and even chicken feet. My friends and I really enjoyed catching up over a savory, delicious lunch. It depends on your appetite, but prices average about $30 per person.

    BLUF: 3.5 out of 5 stars. A mix of very good and mediocre dim-sum at slightly above average prices. We visited Ping's Seafood for dim-sum on a recent weekday. The restaurant was packed full with tourists and locals. We ordered: - Steamed Rice Noodle with Minced Beef 牛肉腸粉: This is a very good beef rice noodle roll; one of the better ones in New York City. The noodle was soft and silky. The beef mince contained scallion, which added a flavor dimension often missing in versions from other places. - Fried Seafood Bacon Roll 脆炸煙肉卷: These bacon-wrapped shrimp balls were very good, too. The dish was served hot, and the shrimp ball was done well. - Chiu Chao Style Dumpling 潮州素粉果: We've had better. This version was missing water chestnut. - Pan-Fried Stuffed Eggplant with Fish Paste 豉汁釀茄子: We've had better. This version was too soft and greasy. - Steamed Seafood Siu Mai 海鮮燒賣皇: This is a shrimp siu mai. The shrimp was mushy, where it should have been crisp. We might have ordered more -- the first two items listed above were very good, but everything else was mediocre -- so we stopped, especially since Ping's prices seemed above average. Other: - The menu seems to indicate a two-tier pricing for dim-sum, but our bill didn't match that pricing. - There are adequately maintained restrooms in the basement, accessible by stairs in the middle of the restaurant or by stairs in the front of the restaurant. - Tea is $2 per person.

    Pings Signature Crunchy Crab Meat Fried Rice

    I've been coming to Pings for years with my family but this is the first time I've tried the dim sum. It's definitely on the pricier side but there's no wait during the busy hours. It's got two floors so you can walk up the steps and ask for a table on the left side at the top. I tried the Turnip cakes, baked char siu baos, beef rice rolls, steamed spare ribs, sticky rice in lotus leaf, and the signature crunchy crab fried rice. The dim sum food was kind of average given the high price but we enjoyed their special crab fried rice. I think this spot is worth going to if you don't want to wait a long line at the other popular dim sum spots. I do think their dinner menu is better than dim sum as it has a better variety and quality.

    What better way to start off the new year with dim sum? We made reservations for 15, which was going to be two tables but we ended up squeezing into one large table downstairs. With such a large group, we ordered multiples of a variety of dishes from fried shrimp balls to tendon to turnip cake to buns. Most dishes were $7 each and in the end, we each only paid under $30 --such an affordable and delicious meal! The service was good and everything was delicious. I do wish we got more refills on the tea, but there were so many of us in one table.

    My family's been coming here for dim sum and big family dinners forever, but I had no idea they were hiding a secret menu. It includes my favorite shrimp lava toast, salted baked chicken, razor clams, XO-sauce oysters, and more. While the prices are on the higher side, you're guaranteed some of the most authentic Hong Kong favorites. Their attention to detail is insane, like even the radish in the beef brisket pot was perfectly cut into uniform pieces! For the best value, we usually go for their banquet dishes over dim sum. *Ping's Signature Roast Pork 炭燒叉燒皇 $26.95 ** Sure, you can get char siu for cheaper elsewhere. But the quality here is on another level. It was almost comparable to my favorite char siu from michelin star restaurant in HK. It melted in my mouth, with the perfect lean-to-fat ratio. The glaze was done just right,, not overly sweet or salty. *Soft & Crunchy Crab Meat Fried Rice 珠翠雙昇炒飯 $26.95 ** Ngl this might be the best fried rice in my life. I've never had "crispy" fried rice like this. Each grain was glistening on the plate. The portion was generous and packed with crab meat. *Shrimp Lava Toast 流心蝦多士 $9.95/pc * I dm-ed them to reserve two days ahead. It was a deep-fried toast, topped with shrimp paste and a whole jumbo shrimp. When I had a bite, the half-melted cheddar cheese oozed out. Super meaty, crunchy, and satisfying. *Lobster E-fu Noodle 石燒龍蝦伊麵 $55 No canto banquet is complete without lobster yi mein. We could barely see the noodles under all that lobster meat. The gravy was quite thick, but it clung to every strand nicely. *Beef Brisket in Broth 清湯牛坑腩 $49.99 It was loaded with beef brisket, and you could tell they used a premium cut just from the tender texture. Just a note that their servers are really friendly and patient. That's also a reason that keeps us coming back.

    Dim sum spread!

    First time dining here for lunch so of course I had to bring along the fam. Definitely try to get the whole party there before 12 as by the time we left around 1ish, there was a line out the door for seats. We got here around 11:30 so there wasn't a line yet. We ordered their crab fried rice and a couple of dim sum dishes. Servers were also bringing around plates of freshly choy sum in case any table wanted to add some vegetables to their table (not us!). The crab fried rice was pretty good and the fried rice was had a light seafood flavor though I wish it was a tiny bit saltier. Table favorites were bacon wrapped fried shrimp balls, fried fish balls and the tofu skin wrapped with vegetables. The har gow was quite large and seemed to be freshly made. For some reason, we also ordered chicken feet and it didn't come out till we were basically ready to leave (definitely go in knowing what you want to order). Next time, I think I'll try one of their lobster dishes or maybe one of the dishes that require pre-orders.

    This Mid-Autumn Festival, the squad and I decided to let our inner fobs out and feast it up in Chinatown. Ping's was everything we were looking for: old-school Cantonese dishes with old-school Cantonese hospitality. That means large portions, thick sauces and COMPLIMENTARY dessert soups (#IYKYK). The only thing missing was the complimentary big bowl soup starter, but I get that in these inflationary times, any freebie is a treat. Word of warning: None of the actual dishes look as artful as the pictures in the menu, but they're still good for the most part. We started with the Crispy Barbecued Quail, which was roasted to perfection with plenty of jiu yim (spiced salt) for dipping. The Yin Yang Fish, which sadly was not arranged yin yang-style a la the menu photo, was still scrumptious, featuring melt-in-your-mouth poached fish pieces across from melt-in-your-mouth fried fish pieces, with some greens in between playing referee. The Half Crispy Fried Chicken in Garlic Flavor was a bit dry, but the skin was perfect. And our Ginger Scallion Lobster over Vermicelli was everything we were craving that night, with plenty of carbs to soak up all that flavor. And that aforementioned complimentary dessert soup? It was red bean soup with sago pearls, a combination of two of my favorite Chinese dessert soups. Winner winner, autumn dinner.

    Good solid staples. We had the short ribs in clay pot n the fried rice in pineapple. Both decent. It's legit. Want to try the more authentic stuff I grew up next visit.

    Great soups. Best won ton soup in nyc. (So far). Hot and sour a little too sweet but delicious and full of vegetables. All dim sum very good. Thin and full of fresh seafood. Prices on the high side and Other main dishes very pricey.

    Daniel M.

    Service was perfect, came in for dim sum today being Chinese New Year. Order a few items, roast pork buns, shrimp rice crepes, fish ball and beef balls. Restrooms were very clean, we noticed an A-grade from department of health, which is a good sign. Ambiance was very feative and the room was decorated in bright red with red linens.

    Can someone tell me how many people the upstairs room seats? Can someone tell me how many people the downstairs room seats?

    Upstairs is pretty big. It's one of those restaurants that accommodates parties and Weddings. Stop there for dinner or dim sum and check for yourself.

    Do they serve the dim sum on carts or order on a menu?

    Both. They come by with the carts but if there's something on the menu you fancy, you can ask the server to send out specific dishes. Love them!

    Are they letting customersuse the restrooms?

    If you are dining outdoor, I think they will let you use the restroom.

    Due to outdoor dining. Are we able to use the bathroom?

    Yes

    Is there a weekday discount for dim sum?

    No

    I've been meaning to try this! Walked by, saw a lunch sign, so ordered shrimp and garlic sauce (has…read morebroccoli); +4 shiumai, lunch special $14 takeout, and was really excited about it! Shiumai exceptional! Other food, not so much. Will not return for lunch special, perhaps only dumplings, presumably. Even the WHITE RICE is crunchy/overcooked/completely a disaster! Truly remarkable. Soup terrible, didn't even resume after first few cornstarchy bites. Perhaps it's on me for not pretty in the correct things, but if the rest of the offerings are this awful, please just don't even offer them. So very disappointing. (I mean, how can you possibly be an ASIAN RESTAURANT and under/overcook WHITE RICE?!???!!! Don't you eat it? Obviously not!!!)

    I'd say the food earns them 4 stars on its own, and you can find more of a variety at the dim sum…read morehalls of Flushing, Chinatown, and Bensonhurst, but the food here is still quite food for midtown and worth a visit for. Dish highlights include the shrimp and chive dumplings, beef chow fun, and my personal favorite, the stuffed eggplant. Other items were a little bland, like the turnip cakes and har gow, and the pan fried shrimp noodles were awkwardly plated and made them difficult to eat. I also wish they had rice noodle rolls, which I didnt see on the menu. Really what pushed it to 5 stars to me was the service. We came as a huge group of 20, with a baby and stroller in tow, and they handled everything without so much as a grimace, just an outpouring of helpfulness. They sat half our group at a round table and the other half at a rectangular long table and also helped us navigate dietary restrictions, asking specifically who in the group had those restrictions. The menu is labeled too, so you know which items are vegetarian or gluten free. At one point our helpful server noticed we hadn't really touched that awkwardly plated noodle dish and offered to replace it with another. We didn't take him up on that as I'd find that wasteful but I thought that was so attentive and earned them a generous tip. The space is nice looking, and the food came out very quickly. We also didn't break the bank, even with plenty of drink orders. Dao's is an easy recommendation, especially when you factor in how seamlessly they handled our chaos.

    Did a take out/delivery order from Dim Sum Sam…read more Plenty of options to select from for take out/delivery. The roast pork rice bowl looked good from the choices on the menu so decided to select that. For $15 it was a good deal as the roast pork and rice itself was plentiful and filling esp if one is hungry. Definitely had enough sauce which was good. Came with 1/2 egg which was nice. Food order and delivery from GHub was pretty quick esp since there was no specific time just asap (only downside of ordering via an app). However, food did stay warm.

It's pretty spacious so large parties can easily fit as well. Open till 12:30am so it's pretty obvious this spot just slaps. Value, opening hours, ambiance, convenience, all of that adds up to be one of my favorite spots on a New York adventure. Dim Sum Combo A - a little bit of everything makes up this set, perfect for two people to share especially. This really has all the classics including har gow, siu mai, XLB, and egg tarts plus some extra goodies. Will say there are (obviously) better tasting pieces out there but these aren't low quality at all. I've had much worse and each item hit the spot. Choy Sum w/ Oyster Sauce - no green beans so we settled for some other greens and fiber. Nutritious, juicy, healthy, cannot complain here. Crispy Pork Belly - Not a bad price for the amount, great crispy skin on top with the typical balance of fat and meat. This one also hit the spot perfectly, even if not our favorite or best, the price and value cannot be beat while satisfying cravings.
