| - Hands down the best dim sum in LV. We used to go to what is now Orchid's Garden when it was still named Chau's then moved on to Chang's, and dabbled with Cathay House. All of these restaurants would hover around 3 stars and dipped as low as being inedible depending on change of chefs and perhaps even ownership. Then along came the idea of trying Ping Pang Pong inside the Gold Coast casino.
The litmus test for dim sum for me are the cheong fun, the har gow, the oven baked char siu bao, chicken feet, and anything with shrimp. While the sauce of the cheong fun was very light, the noodles were soft and the shrimp were fresh. The har gow skin was soft and the shrimp again fresh. The char siu bao was the right combination of sweet and salty. Chicken feet were not too soft and not too hard. Did I mention the shrimp were fresh?!
Yes, it's considerably pricier than all the other dim sum restaurants I mentioned but it's worth it. And yes, it's also frigid cold like another reviewer said because that's how casinos keep you awake but it's nothing hot tea and a sweater can't fix. And yes, it can get very crowded since it's actually a fairly small dining room for a dim sum restaurant, not to mention a dim sum restaurant in a casino known for its Asian clientel, but go before 11:30 am and you'll be fine since most are either at the gambling tables or are sleeping in from being at the gambling tables all night.
