A Cantonese restaurant recommended by a friend in Manhattan's Chinatown. The traditional dim sum trolley experience was a big plus. Steamed Pork Spareribs w. Black Bean Sauce豉汁蒸排骨: An auntie pushed her cart in while I was looking at the menu, and seeing spare ribs, I ordered a basket. It turned out to be the best dish of the meal. The spare ribs were all small, tender pieces, the meat falling off the bone with a gentle touch, and you could taste the savory aroma of the black beans and the original fragrance of the pork. The wood ear mushrooms added a touch of delicate umami, which was a pleasant surprise. Steamed Shrimp Dumplings水晶鮮蝦餃: Although you could tell they were made with frozen shrimp, each dumpling contained two shrimp, and the texture was quite firm, so it was acceptable. However, the dumpling skin was too soft and mushy; two even broke. As a dim sum place, this har gow was a bit of a letdown. Crispy- Fried Pork Dumplings酥脆鹹水角: My parents thought they were just average, but I really liked them. The skin was fried to a crispy exterior and a soft, chewy interior, and the filling was salty, savory, and aromatic enough. Chao Chiu Style Dumplings潮州素粉果: Similar to the har gow, the filling was savory, but the dumpling skin was too soft and mushy. Steamed Special Soy Rice Noodle豉油淨腸粉: I didn't want to order this, but my dad wanted it, and unsurprisingly, it was a complete disaster. The rice noodle rolls were soggy and had no texture whatsoever. Beef Chow Fun乾炒牛河: A huge plate, literally shocking the whole family. Don't order this unless you're really hungry. The beef was tender, the rice noodles were fragrant, and the wok hei (wok aroma) was mostly there, but the seasoning was a bit bland. Adding some soy sauce would instantly elevate it. In short, this restaurant seems to do very well anything unrelated to steamed rice noodle sheets, but not so well with anything related to them. The ingredients are of high quality, but perhaps the pastry-making skills are lacking. If you keep this in mind, you'll have a great experience. The prices are very reasonable, and you get a 10% discount if you pay in cash. The environment is a bit cramped and old, but Cantonese will never mind. read more

Pretty solid sit-down restaurant in Chinatown that is maybe a little more expensive than other places, but if you want somewhere with a nicer ambiance this is a solid spot. Menu is pretty extensive and appreciated all the pictures. Ordered the sticky rice, beef short ribs, and steamed fresh catch of the day. When going through the options for the catch of the day, I think there was a bit of a language barrier and I was under the impression that the different fish were at either 15, 19, or 65 dollars per pound. I selected the fish that I thought would be in the middle at $19 per lb and when I got the check, turns out it was $90 per lb! The fish tasted great but it's never a good feeling when your bill comes out to be that big of a surprise. In the future, might be nice to have them write out the catch of the day with the price point just to make it more clear. read more

My personal favorite nyc dim sum spot. The service here is quick, the space is clean and large, and i LOVE when they use the carts for dim sum instead of having to individually order the dishes.

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Ping's Seafood - Dim Sum. - Seafood Near Me - New York, New York

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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!) read more

Very good steamed shrimp dumplings and seafood shumai. They stuck a bit to the paper suggesting they weren't instant fresh and had gotten a tad gummy, but they were enjoyable. We had asked to FOLLOW our apps with a Peking duck and a side of eggplant in garclic sauce but the big steaming bowl of (tasty) eggplant pieces arrived before our last appetizer did. Ok. The sauce as good for the fried tofu. Crispy tofu with shrimp - our third all- finally showed up and it was very nice though I was surprised (but not disappointed) that they had used soft tofu to fry; it had a creaminess that firmer tofu doesn't have. Apparently a tiny piece of shrimp was incorporated into the fry batter on the top of each rectangle, almost like a monogram. I couldn't taste if it was shrimp or what but no biggie. It came with no sauce but a dip into soy or the rich eggplant sauce took care of that. The duck arrived and pieces were nicely arrayed - fat meaty oieces, thin slivers of crispy duck skin and some that had both. Scallions and cucumber were abundant, which I find unusual. The pancakes were fresh and the dish proved a big hit with all four of us. And it was substantial to boot. We had asked to FOLLOW the duck with a noodle dish - lobster in longevity (vermicelli) noodles - but limit arrived virtually with the duck which had with its accompaniments already taken over the table and forced us to choose which dish to tackle. The noodles and lobster pieces (cut open shells with bits of lobster accessible with small forks) won. The sauce was ok, maybe more flavor like a ginger or garlic would have helped it and the noodles, but the dish got eaten. My only complaint wasn't Ping's fault - that's the dish, which required a lot of hands on of the lobster pieces through the sauce and thus was quite messy. But it was in fact good. Overall a good choice. And what appeared to be lots of Asian families joining us for Sunday dinner confirmed that. read more

I was doing a lecture presentation at Ping's. They have private dining room downstairs enough for 20-30 people with 2-3 round tables of 10. The menu is amazing! Steamed giant oysters with garlic and vermicelli: the oysters were bigger than my hand. It's probably the size of my foot! So good! Chicken 2 ways: half crispy and half steamed. Fried tofu, walnut shrimp, and salt and pepper squid all in one plate! Twin lobster with soft noodles: good amount of lobster meat. Steamed Black Sea bass Mushroom and bok choy: delicious vegetable dish Crab crispy fried rice: this is the best fried rice! Love the crunch from the dried scallops. The wait staff were attentive.

Came in for a quick dim sum lunch. The cart lady never made it to the front of the house, so had to order from the menu.. which was fine, and maybe fresher... the quality of the dimsum is great. The beef short ribs are cooked perfectly and have amazing flavor. The fish in the hot pepper dish is very good, a bit of a kick, the fish is perfectly cooked. The beef and veggie rice roll was not great. I won't order that again, not enough beef, the veggie bits were too big, and they had the crunchy dough in there as well.. it had too much going on. read more

When I walk through the streets of Chinatown in Lower Manhattan, I actually feel like I'm in a foreign country. I mean I guess it makes sense, but it just trips me out how it's a whole different world from the streets a few blocks North. Signage all in Mandarin, Chinese vendors and people roaming the streets, the New York skyscrapers out of sight and out of mind. I feel completely out of my comfort zone, but I'm finding that's my happy place these days. That's where the growth comes. Anyways, my big bro is from Taiwan and stays putting me on the best spots in Chinatown. He recommended we hit Ping's, which is known for Hong Kong style Seafood and Dim Sum. I walked in past live fish, eels, and crabs in a tank in the window and couldn't shake the feeling that we had just entered a Chinese restaurant in Rush Hour II. I mean that in a compliment of the highest regard. Rush Hour II is on my Mount Rushmore. We sat down at a rectangular table and took in our surroundings. The interior felt like it was straight out of 2001. It gave the feeling that they were just focused on making banging food, as opposed to worrying if everything looks pretty and upscale. As I scanned the interior, the vast majority of patrons were Chinese which just made me more excited. As we were looking at the huge menu and deliberating what to order, a Chinese man came up in a full Prada sweatsuit and began speaking broken English. It turned out to be Chef Ping himself. You guys wanna talk about aura? Chef Ping had the JUICE. His aura was a legit gravitational pull... Him and my big bro went back and forth speaking a blend of Mandarin and Cantonese for about 4 minutes, while me and the other homie just sat there intently listening like we could understand a word. After Chef Ping left, big bro said "He's gonna just send a bunch of stuff out, but I made sure we got the whole duck." This is my preferred way to order food. Sometimes you gotta just let go and let God. The feast consisted of snails, Taishan style beef, Shrimp dim sum, pork jowl, a whole duck, sirloin steak, and Nancy's fried rice. My adrenaline started PUMPING when they brought out the whole duck to the table, as I had never seen a whole cooked duck. Turns out it was just for show, as they go in the back and cut it up before they serve it to you. Everything was sensational and there were no misses in here. Although, I must mention how the snails were hard to deshell but I have to chalk that up to a cultural difference. My favorite dish actually turned out to be Nancy's fried rice. They have two eggs topped over the rice and pork, and push the runny yolk over the rice right in front of you. Top 3 most visually appealing egg experiences for me. The dish is named after his wife, and he would only make it specifically for her. She pressed him to put it on the menu, and Chef Ping obliged. We know who really runs the show around here. We were so full after this beautiful meal that we couldn't even move, but I find this is often the reward for hardwork of starving myself all day so I don't get fat from doing these food reviews.

There's no better way to ring in the new year than to eat dim sum with the homies! I really appreciate how you can make reservations ahead of time which is rare in my experience for dim sum.

Had a really great meal at Ping's. A few dishes stood out to me and made the experience memorable. We tried the soy-braised squab, which you need to pre-order a day in advance. It's fresh (never frozen), and the sauce it's braised in has been developed over decades. The flavor was deep and layered, definitely something you don't find everywhere. The fried rice had a mix of crispy and soft grains and that texture made it pretty addictive. The Gwo Zing Zung (a type of Cantonese joong) was probably my personal favorite: hearty, fragrant and comforting, it reminds me of my grandmother's cooking. The beef short ribs in the stone pot were also great. The pot kept the meat warm for a long time, so even as we ate slowly, it stayed flavorful and tender. The lobster E-Fu noodles had a unique texture since the noodles are flown in from Hong Kong, and the shrimp roe on them was a nice touch. We also ordered dim sum, which Ping's is well-known for. Everything was clearly handmade and fresh. The steamed sponge cake (Ma Lai Go) to the rice rolls and even the steamed oyster with XO sauce. You can tell there's a lot of experience and consistency in the way they prepare dim sum here. Overall, the food was thoughtful, with a lot of tradition behind it. If you're into trying classic Cantonese dishes with care put into them, Ping's is worth visiting. read more

The dumplings were good, but the crab fried rice was just okay. It was very garlicky, and for $35, the portion was disappointing- only two small crabs with very little fried rice. We left feeling unsatisfied and still hungry. Overall, it wasn't worth the price, and I wouldn't return. read more

Came for lunch on a Saturday at around 12:30 with a party of six. We ordered a few items to share including plain churng fun, chicken feet, chicken fried rice, and some veggies. Food was fine but staff seems like they hate working there. It's also very loud in there - louder than your typical dim sum places. The restaurant is pretty cramped, so if you are looking for dim sum cart, this place does not have that. You just order off the menu. Overall, it wasn't bad but there are better options in Chinatown. read more

Not going to lie. We went out with another family for lunch and the experience was just not good. Haven't been this disappointed in a restaurant in a long time. The staff was not very attentive. The food quality and taste was mediocre at best and the way and order in which items was served was haphazard and inappropriate. The roast pork arrived first, before the dumpling appetizers. It was coldish which means it likely was pre roasted and refrigerated then when reheating, the fat was clearly not rendered under a broiler. It was fatty/slimy. A broiler would have made it much hotter and crispy. The smokey flavor also seemed like it may be bottled smoke but I can't necessary prove that also it should have been glazed or have a dipping sauce. As for order of service. The dumplings should have come out first. They served most dishes to one family on one side of the table and not the family on the other side of the table. So the other family was waiting for a long time while one family got to eat as dishes painfully slowly trickled in. The kitchen was very slow at each dish. The staff also didn't seem to be paying attention enough to the tables although there seemed to be way too many staff on the floor. Waters were not refilled fast enough. And we waited a while before they even came around before we could ask for the check. The seating as room seemed like the authentic old NYC china town Chinese restaurant which makes sense. The bass and eggplant in garlic sauce was tasty. I likely wouldn't return. read more

Walked right in around 12:15pm on a Sunday. We were seated right away! You order from menu-no carts like in some dim sum places. Service was super fast! We probably waited maybe 5 min before all of our dishes came! We had pork shumai, haka, shrimp shumai, beef ball, peppers stuffed with fish paste and turnip cake. All were delicious and pretty large pieces. Thank you for a great lunch! read more

Yes, NYC tourists from So. Calif. (O.C.) This place was recommended a Viator 911 Museum tour guide saying his family eats here & he's Chinese. Since our hotel was on the other side of town, it cost us $50 taxi to Chinatown. But he said it was good. Well, we were greeted warmly, having no reservations. Our hostess Lori was extremely thoughtful in helping us choose our dinner & arranging a ride back to hotel. The food was very good, tasty & adequate portions. There was large Chinese family party dining together at round table. I mentioned how beautiful their family was, surprisingly, they embraced me & had a family picture taken with me in it, which warmed my heart. A real family restaurant not to be missed. read more

On a recent weekend outing to Chinatown, was in the mood for quality old school Cantonese food, decided to visit Ping's. I have been there before but it's been at least ten years. We were warmly greeted as we walked into a cozy dining room filled with other early evening diners. The restaurant was packed with families enjoying well prepared food which is always a good indication of the quality of the kitchen. We ordered the Crystal Chicken which is a chicken that is poached and served room temperature, the tender and silky chicken was delicious with the broth's flavor captured in the skin, every bite reminded me of the great kitchens of Hong Kong and San Francisco. Also ordered the barbecued roast pork which was good but would have been better if it was a little leaner. Also ordered the soft and crispy crab fried rice which was outstanding, some of the rice cooked to toasty crispiness, the flavor and textures of this dish lives up to its name. We started with the crab and seafood and the crystal veggie dumplings. The food arrived quickly and the service was very attentive. Will definitely return to try some seafood. read more

Was very hungry so I wanted some dim sum on 11am on a Saturday and Ping's had no wait time, so it was perfect. The interior was traditional and very Cantonese focused. There are no carts, but there is a menu that lists all of the dim sums you can order and it includes the picture. I got the fish stuffed jalapenos, shu mai, chicken feet, turnip cake, and chive dumplings. I also got the Pu Er Tea. The tea was really good and the food came out fast. I think everything on the menu was good, but not mind blowing. The turnip cake and the fish jalapeno dish were my favorite things on the menu. It was close to authentic dim sum but not entirely. The chicken feet in my opinion could have been soaked in more sauce. The shu mai was good but it was not great. The turnip cake was really great though, it was perfectly seasoned and well made, the sausages inside were delicious. The chive dumplings were good but I think they needed more chives, just a personal preference. Overall it was good food for a decent price. read more
