I come here just for the salt and pepper pork chops. I also love the vegetable chow fun, the chicken chow mein, and the broccoli beef. If you call ahead they'll have it hot and ready for you! read more

this is my favorite Chinese restaurant. There food is really good. The best thing about this place is the amount of food you get for the price, I get one dinner combo and it lasts me for 4 meals. They always answer my calls and get started on my order right away, The best Chinese restaurant in Oroville read more

If you plan to dine in don't go to this restaurant, they don't have restroom to wash your hands or in case of emergency you have to go and costumer service is outrageous, the person taking orders is rude and has no etiquette, not recommending this place read more

Good food good people but the place actually closes at 7:30 not 9pm. I showed up at 7:10 and it was a slight issue but they ended up taking my order. read more

We went in and ordered two meals chicken chow mein ,pork fried rice and orange chicken .we were told to come back in 45 min.we left and came back in 45 min and took the meals home There was enough food to feed 4 people but it was not fit to eat, the rice was very dry the chow mein had no chicken and absolutely no flavor the orange chicken was over cooked will not be going their again ! $30.00 wasted! read more

Food was great till eating but the wait time was terrible 45 minutes to an hour is bad Dont know it I go back read more

Food was ok till I seen a hair in the salt & pepper pork chops. Was as if the guy didn't believe me till he tried picking at the hair and the entire peice of pork came up with it. I've read of people having bad experiences at Uncle Pings in the past, this was my last visit. read more

Delicious I loved it every time we have visited. Not greasy at all. Good experience. My husband loves the salted pork chops. Sweet and sour chicken was good too. read more

There food is amazing!! But the Generals Chicken is terrible. I have no idea why. It used to be so good. I think the cook hates The General. It taste like sweet chili sauce with a little bit of soy sauce. The owner needs to change this recipe. Generals chicken is supposed to be crispy and spicy with a little bit of sweet. The owner needs to talk to the cook and start testing new recipes. read more

First time I've ever eaten here. So we ordered a little bit of everything, from pot stickers to the salt and pepper chops. Let me tell you bud that this place is rockn the shrimp in lobster sauce is fantastic and the cream cheese wontons are grubbn. Definitely will be back soon. read more

my parents and i were craving chinese food, and the place we typically go to was closed that evening so we found a different restaurant to try. we came across uncle ping's and decided "why not?" and decided to try it. we were the only ones there and nobody came in for food while we were there, which struck us as a bit odd considering this restaurant did have pretty good reviews online. well when we got that food, it tasted great, but my parents and i ended up all getting food poisoning that night and into the next day. please make sure to keep the environment clean if you are cooking and serving food to people!! and don't leave stuff out if it should be kept cold. read more

My wife and i were craving Chinese food so bad but we knew we couldn't spend anymore than $20 to feed our little family of four so we ventured off to visit Uncle Pings (#2 rated on Yelp). We ordered one Princess Chicken and one Orange Chicken dinner special and were thrilled to taste fresh and amazing Chinese food for only $19.89! Our two toddlers loved the chow mein and the princess chicken was the perfect blend spicy and sweet and we'll definitely be getting it again :) Our waitress Regina was super nice and their amazing jazz playlist made the food taste better lol We'll definitely be coming back and would highly recommend this as an affordable and tasty place to eat (IMHO better than Tong Fong Low). read more

It reopened but when we walked in the same people that got the place closed for being nasty dirty and making people sick by holding food at the wrong temps seem to be working here so we walked the heck out. read more

Ok. Second time here and just as satisfied with the quality and taste of the food. Reorded the vegetable fried rice cause i couldn't get enough of that last time and tried the Hunan beef this time. I am super satisfied and have plenty left over. Hope this place sticks around for a very long time. P.s. if you come in for lunch they have pre made good for quick grab and go. And if they are out of an entre, they'll whip it right up for you fresh. Can't beat that! read more

Uncle Pings opened in the small building that has been the home to a few other restaurants in the past behind the old City of Paris building (Now the DA's office). Their claim is to have fresh, homemade Chinese food. It is nice to have another option to the Oroville institution, Tong Fong Low, even though I will always continue to eat there. Love the fact that they offer fast, take away food that's out during the lunch hour to get patrons on a time crunch quickly fed and out the door. However, other take out order times must be improved upon if they want repeat business. My family ordered takeout over the phone and was quoted 45 minutes!! That is too long and when all was said and done, it took 1 hour 5 minutes before our food was ready to leave with!! They were apologetic and stated they'd received a huge to go order prior to ours. I understand they just opened and are working out the new business jitters, but that is not an acceptable time for take out to be ready! People will not wait that long or just won't come back. However, I am very happy to report that the food was really good and fresh, although had to be microwaved at home. White meat chicken was used and only good cuts were in the dishes. No mystery meat pieces I've seen used at other Chinese restaurants. Friends report the soups, especially the War Wonton are very delicious, especially on the cold nights we've had lately! We ordered: EGG ROLLS VEGETABLE EGG FOO YOUNG MIXED SAUTEED VEGETABLES SHRIMP W/LOBSTER SAUCE LEMON CHICKEN CHICKEN CHOW MEIN One disappointment was that no rice was sent w/the order-not sure if they forgot or if we needed to order this separately. Lately, I've encountered this at many Asian restaurants. I wish they'd tell you so you know as there are dishes that really need to be served over rice. My personal feeling is that rice should always be included, not be an additional charge. Prices were reasonable for being of homemade quality and decent portions of food served. Take out was packed w/care and expensive plastic containers were used for the saucier dishes/soups. We even reused them for other food storage! This was very appreciated as it's a bummer to have food spill and make a mess in your car. Overall, we really liked Uncle Pings and will order again. read more

I have been looking forward to trying out Uncle Ping's since I first heard of it. Sadly to say, I was disappointed. I do have to say though-the guy who was there (I believe the owner) was very, very nice. He checked on us more than our waitress did and when we were leaving he asked us for our honest opinion on the food. We had to be honest and tell him why we didn't like it -at all- and he was gracious and told us he was very sorry we weren't happy. But on to that honesty part...... The food was less than subpar. We ordered General Tsao's Chicken, Potstickers and Egg Foo Yung. The chicken came out fast and was the 'best' of what we ordered. Maybe the sauce just wasn't quite or style, but it tasted more like teriyaki chicken and had no spice to it. But the meat was good and not too breaded. Had a nice crisp to it. After at least 10 more minutes the potstickers came (which are supposed to be an appetizer). As they were giving them to me, the cook yelled over that they didn't have time to make homemade ones so these were a packaged variety. Personally, I would have rather they told me they were sold out than to serve me frozen potstickers for the price of real ones. They were gross, but that doesn't reflect on the restaurant. By the time our egg foo yung came out we had been there over an hour. It was a ridiculous wait time. There was only one other person inside and they got there after us. I wish we had left. The foo yung was a lot more sprouts than egg, it was too crispy and the sauce was way to rich and dark. We each took one bite and left it there. I know they are a new restaurant but maybe they should have waited longer to open. -They are a sit down restaurant with no bathroom. They direct you to use the public restroom in the parking lot across the street. -They have no soda machine. We were not even offered anything but water and hot tea. -They were sold out of chow mien. A Chinese restaurant with no chow mien? -The wait was ridiculous. I have to say, the only reason they got 2 stars was because the owner was so very nice. Strictly based on the food, I'd give them a 1. read more

I have been going there off and on for over 6 months now and have not been disappointed yet. I can honestly say I haven't had food prepared this well since I lived in Toronto, and man they had some great eats there! I like the freshness of all their food, Uncle Ping's chef pays great attention to detail upon presentation, even on the to-go food. The portion sizes are very large and the prices are almost to low to believe. It's hands down my favorite place in town to go when I don't have time to cook :) read more

The good here is simply delicious, I will start with the inevitable comparison to tong fong low, in my opinion pings serves the Beyer food but you will get better service at tong fong low. I have tried a wide variety of the food at pings some of the notably delicious things are salt and pepper pork cod,szechuan pork, princess chicken, broccoli beef, honey walnut shrimp, as well as very good grief rice and chow mein. They are a family run business abd have always been friendly and attentive. Now for another comparison to tong fong low, the fried foods is better and less greasy at pings especially pings delicious egg rolls. The restaurant is very small abd does not offer cousin drinks they do have soft drinks but they are sold by the can. They also do not have there own restrooms how ever they're are public restrooms right across the street so make sure to bring some hand sanitizer Overall I give it 5 stars because the food is that good, especially compared to the always good but unspectacular tong fong low. In summation give this spot a try and try something your unfamiliar with, you don't have to get orange chicken everywhere you go do you? P.s. avoid the stream table Monday-Friday although the prices are cheap the food is served buffet style abd loses some of its freshness always better to order off the menu read more

Uncle Ping's has decent Chinese food for the price. We ordered a combo meal for 4 which consisted of: Egg Drop Soup Fried Egg Rolls Beef and Broccoli Sweet and Sour Pork White Rice Mongolian Beef Chow Mein Fried Pork Needless to say, it was a lot of food. Almost everything tasted alright, but nothing was exceptional. The Egg Rolls were a little cold in the center, and the Mongolian Beef was chewy. Compared to Tong Fong Low, I'd say there were about the same when it comes to the food. The facility isn't all that great. No bathrooms on-site. Tables were cleaned with bleach as we were seated. This is more of a take-out restaurant than a sit down. They have a few tables and have quick service, but its generally busy and noisy. The waitress, Victoria, was outstanding. She was attentive and pleasant. Food was delivered promptly and water was refilled when needed. read more

Cute little resteraunt right in the center of town. After reading the good reviews I was excited to try this somewhat new chinise eat out. When I first walked in it was very small, and had 3 tables seated. Staff was super friendly and helpful. I was looking for a real dim sum chinise kind of meal, and staff gave options saying that to serve dim sum once every other weekend would be possible if ordered in advanced. That was extremely sweet of them considering they would really go the distance to better service their customers and be able to deliver what we needed. Extra star for that :)) I ordered 2entrees and a half order of chow mein and fried rice. The food tasted pretty fresh and were very large portions. I had even taken left overs home and served two teenage boys. Overall I'm very happy with my first experince here, and wil gladly be back soon. read more

I've noticed that everyone has their own idea of what "good" Chinese food is, including my Chinese friends, so this review is specific to my "taste". What is my taste? I like my chinese-style food more pan-asian -- fresh vegetables that accent the food without simply being "filler", easy on the oil/grease, easy on the salt, tasty sauces, light breading, etc. I don't like leaving a chinese restaurant feeling like the food is a brick in my stomach, but some people do. If you like your chinese-style food some other way, then ignore this review ;) I've not found a dish yet that I didn't like. My preferences are: The orange chicken and the kung pao are good. I'm partial to the mandarin beef, which is very very tender with a subtle sauce and served with fresh lettuce leaves and puffed rice noodles. The pepper fish is excellent. Very light and fresh! As for the restaurant itself: The decor is nothing special, It is clean, including the washrooms. It is run by a multi-generational family. Everyone is very friendly. Parking is on the street or a large lot on the east side of the restaurant. read more

My son and I love eating here. Good portion size and freshness. So happy they are open again!!

Uncle Ping's is a good place to eat americanized chinese food! The people working are very nice and helpful! A local told me about this place and I am glad they did. I ordered the Egg Foo Yung and Prawn Chop Suey to go. The food was very fresh and hot as expected. The egg foo yung was large and the gravy/sauce was not greasy nor overwhelming as some places fix. The chop suey was ok but not great. Lots of bean sprouts and had other meats (pork, chicken) in the dish along with shrimp. I would try another choice and probably will during my work related visits to Oroville CA. read more

Great service with a smile. The prices are very good for the portion sizes you get. But I just can't love it like I wanted to. We have eaten here many times and we will definitely eat here again. I've found the things we've tried are either great or meh. The lemon sauce on the lemon chicken is amazing but I'm not a fan of it being served as a single breast, fried and sliced and sauce added. It ended up soggy, not at all crispy and the breading slides off. The General chicken sauce should be a hot and spicy but Pings is kinda boring. Not quite hot and not sweet at all, just very salty. I'm not a fan of spicy food but this is a dish I enjoy nearly everywhere. The fried rice was decent but the pork egg foo young was meh. So its not a bad place. I'm very interested in trying many more of their extended menu options and I would choose this place over tong fong lo any day. read more

They have Big Prawns eight to a order, food is good.Only downside is no restroom in the restaurant you got to go out side and down to the corner and use public ones.That is why it gets four not five stars. read more

I have eaten here on many occassions, and have always been pleased. The first time, I ate here with my boyfriend, parents, and sister. We didn't think we ordered as much as we did, our table was overflowing with dishes! It was all good, too. I am a picky eater, and only like a few Chinese food items. I really like their chicken corn chowder (like mom makes, it's so good), chicken chow mein, and sweet & sour sauce. I don't know if they make their own s&s, but it's good. BF has had salt & pepper fish, fried prawns, princess chicken, and egg foo young. He has liked it all. We try different things sometimes, but these are things we keep getting. There is no bathroom, and the place is small, but every single time we step in the door, we are greeted quickly and with a smile. I would argue that we have actually had better food here than at TFL. And so far, the service is great too. read more

This placed used to be my favorite. I really want to give higher stars. But new owners are not so nice, portions are smaller, and not as fresh. Cooks are the same so not sure how that can change. Flavors are still the same, just not as fresh. read more

Great food, reasonably priced. Only possible downfall is that the dining area is tiny, but that can be an upside, too. read more

What it lacks in restaurant size and tables it makes up for with flavorful, fresh and delicious dishes. The vegetables are sauteed but crisp and the seafood and meats are cooked perfectly. The Singapore Noodles are amazing with just the right amount of curry and spices. Some Chinese restaurants, I'll not mention any names, drench their food in so much sauce the veggies are soggy and you can't taste the ingredients. Ping's has a good balance between flavorful sauces and fresh ingredients that make for a pleasant dining experience. The menu, particularly the lunch special, is good food at affordable prices with decent sized portions. My husband and I often split dinner. The staff are friendly and courteous and if you ask for a specific dish or variations on the menu they will make it for you. I enjoy the food and service and have recommended it to family and friends. read more

The best chinese food. Thank you chef ping, Kevin, Regina, and cooks. Lots of chinese vegetables. Great flavor. Great service. read more

See all

Very good, SUPER fresh. Worth the drive out to oroville for some bomb Chinese. Food is a good combo of authentic but American style Chinese. The egg rolls are unbelievable. read more

If you have avoided this place, man you are missing out on a gem. The egg foo young, princess chicken are amazing. Actually I dont think there is anything they make that my family hasn't enjoyed. The prices are great, the veggies are fresh and it is just delicious. read more

This place reminds me of being in the Bay Area. Their salt and pepper pork chops are very tasty.

We almost always go here. Their food is fresh, and the new owner is fantastic! They have something for everyone in my family and have hospitable service. We prefer the food over Tong Fong Low because it is not as greasy. read more

Great quality food. Always delicious. One of my favourite take out restaurants in town. I've had countless dinners here and never once have I been unsatisfied. read more

The only reason we went here is because the other place down the street was closed on Monday. The service was bad. I know it wasn't the fault of the one server and that it is mostly a take-out place but we waited 30 minutes for a couple of dishes that should've only taken 5 minutes. I did overhear the server harassing the cooks for our food and I also overheard that they made me the wrong order. She acknowledged the poor service by bringing us a complimentary dish of fried prawns which were undercooked. The rest of the food was blah. Don't eat Chinese food in Oroville on a Monday night. I only gave them 2 stars because I didn't get food poisoning and the waitress did try to redeem herself. read more

First time customer at uncle pings. Customer service was great. Excellent communication. prices were fair from $5-8 bucks a dish for the quantity given. Only cons were that the wait time was a little too long of a wait for a couple dishes and the water was served from a dirty gallon container into not so resturant friendly cups. Other than those two obstacle, my experience was great. P.s.... daily combination plates will be a good add to the menu. read more
