| - Talk about a popular dim sum place! My family has loved this restaurant for a few years, but this was my first time trying it, so I was excited. We tried to get here by 9:45am so we could get in for the first seating at 10, but unfortunately we missed it so needed to wait 45 min or so as groups started to leave. And there continued to be a long line.
Haha, I'm impressed by the efficient design!
The tables are arranged in a circle so that carts can go around to the tables and then replenish at the kitchen. Unfortunately since we were at the beginning of the second seating, there weren't many items we often like (chicken feet, har gao, siu mai) since they ran out. Fortunately, we got them as we were finishing up.
I really enjoyed something that seemed like shrimp tempura wrapped in funn. It was delicious! I also liked the eggplant shrimp (generous amount of shrimp inside) and roast pork. I also love gailan, and I appreciated that the sauce was on the side so I could control how salty I wanted it.
The baked char siu bao could've been softer, though, and filled with more meat. The butter buns were filled with lots of butter, though they could have been warmer and softer.
The service was generally good and some of the servers even smiled. If you're family with dim sum restaurants, you know that's rare.
I enjoyed Ping Pang Pong and would return again. Most of the customers were Chinese and other Asian, so you know the experience is really Chinese!
