Ping

Great chinese food! Dimsum was nice, service excellent. Highly recommend trying the lobster noodles! Juicy and tender

One of the most comforting Cantonese meals I’ve had in Chinatown lately was at Ping’s Seafood.<br>You can really feel that this is a long-time neighborhood favorite instead of a trendy social media spot.<br><br>Their dim sum chef is 68 years old and has been making dim sum for 55 years — including 28 years at Ping’s alone. Everything is still handmade fresh daily, and the attention to quality really shows.<br><br>The signature Soy Sauce Pigeon was the highlight for me. The skin was unbelievably crispy while the inside stayed juicy and flavorful.<br>⚠️ Definitely preorder before going because it can sell out.<br><br>I also loved the Beef & Chinese Broccoli Rice Roll with Fried Dough — super silky rice noodle texture with crispy youtiao inside.<br><br>For dessert, the Mango Pudding was classic Hong Kong style: smooth, refreshing, and not overly sweet.<br><br>Their shrimp dumplings, siu mai, chicken feet, pork ribs, and other dim sum were all consistently solid too.

We stopped here for lunch on Monday. Weather was nice and place was easy to find. We went inside and promptly seated. We were given lunch menu and we also chose some dim sum.<br>Dim sum choices were good.<br>For lunch we had beef and vegetables, fish with celery and chicken lo mein.<br>They gave us tea but you get charged for it.<br>Service was ok.<br>May comeback for their other menu

The taxi from JFK to Ping’s was almost as much as the meal but it was worth the ride. We had our usual… BEEF IN THE STONE POT, CRISPY SQUID, and we also tried the CRIPSY QUAIL. As usual, the food and service was a “10 out of 10”! It was so good, we order some BEEF to go! The night ended with a memorable selfie with the host & newly claimed foodie friend “KI”.<br><br>If you haven’t tried them … you are missing a treat!<br><br>October 2025<br>After my first visit to Ping’s in July — where I shared a review that reached over 80,000 views — I knew I had to return to see if the experience was just as incredible the second time around. Spoiler alert: it absolutely was!<br><br>This time, my entire family joined me for lunch, and two days later, my wife and I came back again for dinner. Both visits were nothing short of exceptional. The staff treated us like family, going out of their way to make sure we were comfortable — even helping us get a perfect table in the center of the restaurant. Their warmth and hospitality are just as impressive as the food itself.<br><br>During lunch, we sampled 10 different Dim Sum dishes straight from the cart, along with the famous Beef in the Stone Pot and Crispy Squid — each dish bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. For dinner, we couldn’t resist ordering the Beef in the Stone Pot and Crispy Squid again (yes, they’re that good), and this time we added Wonton Soup and Shrimp Dumplings. Every bite delivered that same rich, authentic flavor that makes Ping’s stand out from the rest.<br><br>From start to finish, the presentation, taste, and service were all Five-Star Quality. The prices are incredibly reasonable for the level of craftsmanship and care that go into every dish.<br><br>If you’re looking for Best in Class Chinese cuisine in New York City — Ping’s at 22 Mott Street is the real deal. Whether it’s Dim Sum, seafood, or a full dinner, Ping’s delivers unmatched flavor and consistency that earns its title as the BEST in Chinatown and the BEST in NYC.<br><br>July 2025<br>If you are in or visiting Chinatown in New York City , you MUST go to “Ping’s” at 22 Mott’s Street. The food is AUTHENTIC, the service was AWESOME and the food was AMAZING. For that reason, I give them an “A”.<br><br>The BEEF RIBS in the STONE POT is one of the BEAT MEALS that ever had.<br>👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾<br><br>By Mark Pendergrass for Creating Exposure Through Food

Every dish we ordered was non-spicy but incredibly fresh and flavorful. The seasoning was clean and balanced, and honestly everything was very rice-friendly. It is the kind of place where you keep reaching for another bite without even thinking.<br><br>The only small downside was that the restaurant was quite busy that day, so service was a bit slow at times. That said, the food quality absolutely made up for the wait.<br><br>We will definitely be back for the food.

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.

Ping’s is a solid Chinatown classic for dim sum and Cantonese comfort food. The menu is extensive, portions are generous, and everything comes out fast and hot. Dim sum is available all day, with reliable staples like shrimp dumplings and BBQ pork buns. A dependable spot for casual group meals.<br><br>If you want it shorter, more casual, or more food-specific (dim sum only / dinner dishes), I can tweak it.

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.<br><br>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).<br><br>Next time, I think I'll try one of their lobster dishes or maybe one of the dishes that require pre-orders.

Ping’s serves some of the most authentic and flavorful Chinese food around, with every dish tasting like it came straight from a traditional kitchen. The garlic chicken, pork noodles, and shumai were all beautifully seasoned and prepared with care, showcasing deep, balanced flavors rather than the usual takeout shortcuts. The warm, attentive service matched the quality of the food, making the whole experience feel genuinely welcoming and genuinely authentic.

Been coming here since 2018 and I always have the best food and cultural experience here. There are many Cantonese restaurants in Chinatown, many of them are tourist oriented, and some are too noisy for me. This place is not only authentic but with great service. I highly recommend. Yum, Yum…. Happy belly, big smile and happy vibes.

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.<br><br>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.<br><br>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.<br><br>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.<br><br>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.

Tea was delicious. Under seasoned food, and found these three to be quite bland. Chive Pot stickers, beef shumai, crab crispy fried rice, the bok choy was very garlicky and the beef with ginger and lemongrass was better, although it had many large chunks of ginger stir fried. No parking per se, ez walk to the q. Serving staff very nice.

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.<br><br>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!<br><br>For the best value, we usually go for their banquet dishes over dim sum.<br><br>＊Ping’s Signature Roast Pork 炭燒叉燒皇 $26.95 **<br>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.<br><br>＊Soft & Crunchy Crab Meat Fried Rice 珠翠雙昇炒飯 $26.95 **<br>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.<br><br>＊Shrimp Lava Toast 流心蝦多士 $9.95/pc *<br>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.<br><br>＊Lobster E-fu Noodle 石燒龍蝦伊麵 $55<br>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.<br><br>＊Beef Brisket in Broth 清湯牛坑腩 $49.99<br>It was loaded with beef brisket, and you could tell they used a premium cut just from the tender texture.<br><br>Just a note that their servers are really friendly and patient. That’s also a reason that keeps us coming back.

Really solid Cantonese spot. Loved the fish filets eggplant and this mushroom vegetable mix. Strong flavors without feeling too heavy. Dim sum items were just alright. Wish the cha siu buns were more filling.<br><br>Setting is a bit loud which might be to be expected in Chinatown. Service was sharp and attentive. Overall good experience!

Had a really great meal at Ping’s. A few dishes stood out to me and made the experience memorable.<br><br>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.<br><br>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.<br><br>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.<br><br>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.<br><br>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.
