Ping New York

Ping’s is a classic Cantonese seafood restaurant that has been serving Chinatown since 1998. It’s well-known for its dim sum, fresh seafood, and extensive menu of Hong Kong-style dishes. 1.Authentic Dim Sum Experience: The dim sum here is served traditionally, straight from the carts, steaming hot in bamboo baskets. You’ll find an array of classics like shrimp dumplings (har gow), pork buns, chicken feet, and turnip cakes. The freshness and variety are impressive, with a balance of flavors that feels authentic. 2.Cozy and Historic Ambiance: The restaurant’s interior speaks of its legacy. The walls are adorned with photos of notable guests and memories that give it a charming, nostalgic vibe. It’s a welcoming touch that makes you feel part of something special. 3.Convenience for Cash-Only Guests: Although Ping’s is cash-only, there’s an ATM conveniently located right at the entrance. It’s a thoughtful addition, especially for first-time visitors unaware of the policy. To sum up, Ping’s delivers a true taste of Cantonese cuisine in the heart of Chinatown. Whether you’re a dim sum lover or a seafood enthusiast, this spot has something for everyone. With its long-standing reputation and authentic flavors, it’s no wonder this place remains a favorite.

Food is amazing! Very authentic Guangdong dim sum. 流沙包绝绝子!Dishes came to table fast. We enjoyed the food here and will definitely visit again!

Very authentic food, the employee which served us was very professional and commercial. For those non Cantonese, you could trust their recommendation , but it would be more pricey. Best taste so far during my several visits in china town. Fully recommend

One of the best dim sum / yum cha places!! Everything was delicious but especially the congee .

ping’s is iconic in chinatown. not sure why it took me so long to try it but im glad i finally did. i got to meet ping himself and he was like your canto uncle telling us stories about his life and how he came up with his dishes. you can tell he just loves food and making people happy with food. menu highlights for me: house bbq roast pork (yum!), pork jowl with string beans and crispy white fish (favorite of the night), pings signature soft and crunchy crab meat fried rice (all the textures), and napa cabbage in chicken soup. definitely coming back soon!

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, all 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 really 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. THANK YOU CHEF PING, KEEP DOING YOU I’M INSPIRED! IG @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov__

We came here to celebrate Chinese New Year as a family a couple weeks ago and it was so good! I hadn't been here in years and it was as good as I remembered it. My family and I kept commenting on how good the food was the whole time. The staff and owner were all incredibly kind. Definitely will be back and will continue to recommend this spot to people.

Exactly what you would desire from a Dim Sum restaurant in Chinatown. The food was delectable. There was a huge selection, and every single thing I tried was amazing. The staff were the fastest in any restaurant I have ever been to. I finished the last dumpling, and the basket was instantly removed from my table, most of the time without my noticing. The entire restaurant was clean, the bathrooms included, and the decor was immersive. Highly recommend for a brunch time visit, then upon conclusion of your meal you can explore Chinatown, walk to the Staten Island Ferry, or grab the subway to anywhere within reasonable time.
