    Pings Signature Crunchy Crab Meat Fried Rice
    Ted P.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Came here for a lunar new year lunch on a weekday with my co-workers. Service was quick, the waitress brought out a plethora of dim sum for us to choose from almost right after we all got seated. We chose the har got (steamed shrimp dumplings), pork shumai, fried seafood bacon roll, shrimp cheong fun, pan fried turnip cakes, beancurd skin roll and the salted egg yolk buns. They were all pretty good, but the fried seafood bacon roll stood out the most to me. If I had to pick on one item, I'd give the cheong fun a miss. There are better ones in Chinatown! Since there were only 4 of us, we only ordered the lobster ee fu noodles to share, in addition to the dim sum items. The noodles were $70, I'm not sure if there was elevated pricing due to the festive season, but we did think the noodles were well cooked and there was a good amount of lobster. The lobster was cut up such that it was easy for us to pick the meat out. We ended up paying $140 with tips.

    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.

    Justin M.

    Authentic Cantonese food in Chinatown. A must visit!! Btw, they do accept credit card (a lot of reviews mention cash only). Service is extremely friendly, and a lot of space inside. FOOD: Beef Short Rib Stone Pot (8/10): Beef was so tender and extremely fragrant. Would definitely be improved with just a little more garlic Fish and Eggplant Stone Pot (8/10): Another very solid dish, with fried fish along with yuxiang eggplant. Goes amazing with white rice! Barbecue Pork (5/10): Would skip this one, not that good and a little dry. Crab Fried Rice (7/10): HUGE portion, fed the 2 of us for like 3 consecutive meals. Solid but missing a little flavor (tasted better when we re-cooked it with green onions!)

    I haven't had really good cheap dimsum in forever. For 4 people it was like $80! Service is great, everything comes out incredibly fast. Not a single miss really.

    Iconic restaurant. A dim sum must in Chinatown. The tables are packed to during dim sum, the server will carry trays n you just order what you want. Not as cheap as it used to be. Like everything else the prices have gone up. But the flavors are still great.

    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

    We've been to several different locations of Nan Xiang before and it is always a favorite. When we…read morediscovered the Koreatown Nan Xiang was right around the corner from our hotel this visit, we made it a priority to visit, and we brought friends who were new to soup dumplings (XLB). There was a wait list to get seated when we arrived but the process was simple and moved quickly, and service was prompt and food came out quickly. We ordered both the standard pork XLB and my faves, the pork and crab ones, as well as pan fried pork dumplings which I was surprised to discover were also full of soup, chicken corn dumplings, and two noodle dishes: rice cake with pork & mustard greens, and pan fried noodles with beef. Servers were conscientious about allergies and very specific about letting us know which items were which, but other than that were largely appropriately hands off. They did ask us, mid-meal, if it would be ok if a service dog were at the next table to ours, which I thought was courteous. (The service dog was adorable and well behaved.) All the food was fab, which we expected. It's nice to come in a group and be able to order more items for a greater variety. The rookies executed well (and thanked us for the instructions on how to eat XLB to avoid getting soup everywhere) and were pleasantly surprised by my longtime favorite, the rice cake and mustard greens. I'll need to remember that the pan fried pork dumplings also have soup, because I really liked the texture of them. Such good food, and as always, better shared with friends.

    I'm being an overly harsh critic- this place is honestly great. The service was quick and…read moreattentive. It was a clean restaurant. The food quality and taste was amazing. Just a few things to pick on. 1) cucumber dish was good, but did feel it lacked a bit flavor and spice. Huge portion 2) wine cold chicken, felt like it was nothing special. Definitely had better elsewhere and prob wouldn't order again. Had food remorse and wish I ordered another cold dish 3) pork xiao long bao, soooo flavorful and juicy. Like I felt like I was having soup. I think the skin was a little too thick for my liking. Overall would definitely come back if I was in the area but would seek to come if it wasn't convenient.

I really liked the scallion pancake and eggplant. The pancake wasn't crispy/dry, but rather the exterior was crisp and the inside was still a little soft/fluffy. It's the first time I had a scallion pancake that wasn't just straight dough inside/outside, or so thin that it got crisped out. I really liked this texture profile though. The eggplant was 10/10; the eggplant was cooked well, so tender but not soggy. The sauce was really good too such that it was sufficient spice but not flaming. Would recommended. I enjoyed the cucumber salad and tofu as well, but have had better. Seasoning and prep were good though -- although the tofu was cooked so tender (or maybe was silken tofu to begin with) that the whole table was struggling with carrying it from plate to mouth -- heh. Food came out very quickly; staff were friendly, efficient, and helpful. Decent amount of seating with a cozy vibe. It was a good meal, not my favorite Szechuan spot, but definitely hit the spot.
