Profile

Though not unique (you'll find freshly killed fish available at a number of other Chinatown restaurants), Ping's is the place that currently does seafood best. Chef/owner Chuen Ping Hui's menu consists mostly of simply prepared, Hong Kong-style seafood dishes, though other categories of food are well represented. Whether they're worth your while is a different question; you'd be silly to come here to eat anything but fish, perhaps supplemented by one of the well-executed noodle dishes. — Steven A. Shaw

Lunch Specials

Mon.–Fri., 10 a.m.–3:30 p.m., $5.95

Note
Ping's will accommodate just about any special request, but be sure to speak to the hostess: Most of the servers speak very little English.

Ping's was only remembered for very poor service; the steamed rice ordered was forgotten, entree ordered by one of us appeared first, the shrimp dumplings were insipid and the overall mediocrity of the place was crowned with awful service. To top it all, as I was leaving a forgettable meal, one of the waiters/supervisors had the audacity to check my tip and come hollering after me to let me know it was too little! All I could do was to snap back and ask him what he expected the tip for? I could still hear him muttering nonsense in Mandarin as I walked out. Shameful, and customers should always know and protect their rights and not be intimidated by insolent, uncouth servers such as those at Ping's.

Great food!

I was taken to this restaurant by another ABC. Her family has enjoyed their weekly dim-sum here since 2003. My first meal here was dim sum on a busy Sunday. The hakau (shrimp dumpling) was so fresh and juicy i order it every time i go back. Make sure you ask for the mango pudding for dessert! Dinner there make sure you ask for braised fish or any of their recommended fish is fine. Their Chef's special shark's fin soup will get you ready for your main course. Oh, if you like to order any item from their special menu, make sure you give them a call 3 days in advance for prep time (some abalone takes 18 hours to get marinated and cooked).
