Considered among the very best Chinese food in New York.
Ping's Seafood Restaurant probably serves the most classic Cantonese cuisine you can find in the Chinatown area. Windows are busy with awards and reviews. As you walk in, you will be welcomed by live lobsters, crabs, shrimp and fish who reside in the tanks. The two-floor restaurant is always packed with dim-summers during morning and lunch hours. Do not expect prompt seating for Dim Sum on weekends; just take a number and hang around to be called. It is worth the wait.
Editors, reviewers, and the public have rated Ping's the best Chinese food in New York City. Praises galore for Dim Sum and the ever-so-fresh seafood. For Dim Sum, try yumcha (drink tea) which is a meal consisting of a multitude of steamed or fried hors d'oeuvres; favorites like tsuenfun - flat noodles stuffed with shrimp or pork and accompanied with soy sauce; siumai and har gow, pork and shrimp flour dumplings; wugok, a tasty taro mixture surrounded by flaky deep-fried dough; and the exquisite char siu bao, flour buns stuffed with roasted pork.
For dinner, even familiar dishes you have had before are extra tasty and delicious. The young chef and owner, Chung Ping Hui, elevates Cantonese cuisine to food fit for emperors. The Ginger & Scallion lobster, Fresh Oysters in XO Sauce, Shark's Fin Soup, Crispy Minced Garlic Fried with Dungeness Crab, Manila Clams in Chinese Wine & Caribbean Spicy Sauce, and Braised Soft Tofu with Mixed Seafood are must try entrees. Just make sure you come back to try different dishes. You will love it.
