Ping's Place

Salty soy bean tofu (AKA Tofu Brain) is my favorite, other street food are great too. Noodles are good. Rice combos are just OK.

Located in Great Wall supermarket food court, the place is a hidden gem!!! Prices are unbeatable!! I live right next door to this market not knowing they have so many different varieties. Hubby and I always drive down to Buford Highway to eat xiao long bao if I was craving and the place we go to is so expensive compared to PP. most of their food is under $10 and they have so many styles of food that you can look into, and did I say they even have stinky tofu??? It’s a must have whenever you’re here. Their soy milk with you tiao is to die for!!!! With the nice boss lady in the front and her husband making everything fresh in the back, I’ll give this place 5/5.

The food was very local and authentic but the customer services was bad. I ordered salty soy milk, twisted cruller, and stinky tofu for dine-in but I couldn't finish it. So I asked the lady behind the counter if I could get a box for the unfinished food. Her reaction was rude and shouting at me saying why I would need a box for my food as I only ordered twisted cruller. I told her “I ordered stinky tofu. I need the box for it.” She then replied with an unpleasant face: “you ordered stinky tofu?” (and handed me a box without any apology) I was like EXCUSE ME??? This is how you handle your business and customer services? I will continue to come in the future just for the food itself but I figure that I need to leave this review so you can have the opportunity to educate your staff.🙄

I came here in the morning to get some salt and pepper chicken before work. Simple right? Should be in and out and uncomplicated right? Nope! The rice was old... Not just last night's rice but the kind of ossified fossil rice Indiana Jones would finde in the temple of doom. Then came the chicken... Referring to the rubbery grey speckled filth that was reheated and probably cooked a decade ago would be a disservice to chickens everywhere. If I could rate it lower I would, unfortunately Google doesn't have a negative star rating. Avoid like the plague or send your enemies there for food poisoning.

Pretty great food. It's a little expensive but this is on a whole other quality level than fast food. It's also not the same formulaic Chinese food restaurant that you see everywhere with the exact same menu. This is the real deal. The dumplings are on par with those that I've had in China. They need to put another location in Greenville on Woodruff Rd so that I can eat this amazing food more often. It's a little intimidating for someone to order who isn't familiar with what Chinese food tastes good. I suppose most of their patrons are Chinese so they know what they want. I do also but most people would be lost. This is one area they could improve. Menus should be provided which should provide a detailed description of exactly what things are. For the most part you're pretty safe just choosing something because I've only rarely had authentic Chinese food like this that I didn't like.
