"Dumplings are some of the best event food out there — a few are a snack, a bunch are a meal, and they’re portable and easy to eat. At Dumpling House the Climate Pledge Team ain’t exactly reinventing the wheel here, but who cares? There’s pork egg rolls, veggie pot stickers, and soup dumplings from local frozen brand MìLà, which also has its dumplings in Lumen Field." - Harry Cheadle

Amazing soup dumplings for the price. Would definitely come here again. We had the pork soup dumplings, beef gyozas, a couple of massive pork bao buns, and some green onion pancakes.

Looking for something warm and comfortable food, this place wasn’t that busy for a Thursday night but all the food was really yummy. I wasn’t a fan on the beef noodle soup, it was packed with lots of noodles and beef was a little salty. The dumplings were good. The pan fried bok choy was delicious! Good for comfort food! The restaurant is in need of an uplift to bring more customers and bathrooms definitely need an upgrade. Overall experience is good. The owner Ping is super friendly and very professional.

Generous portions and good prices for cozy home-style food. The owner is from Qingdao Province so, as well as having more “traditional” dim sum, you can enjoy rarer options like lamb soup dumplings and big, fluffy yeasty bao. Absolutely love this place. Never going to wait in line for Dough Zone’s overpriced small portions again!

Ordered the soup dumplings, a lamb skewer, and the shrimp chow mein. Affordable and super flavorful. The star of the table was the soup dumplings. Sit down for soup dumplings is always the best when they offer the variety of shades to dip it in. They order via QR code and you attach it to your table. Convenient to order and pay your tab. Definitely worth it for the price, quality, and value.

My boyfriend and I came by here for lunch a few weeks ago and I seriously cannot stop thinking about those chicken soup dumplings. My boyfriend loved the lamb skewers as well! This was my first time having soup dumplings since there is none in my city (😢), my boyfriend has had them many times due to being from a much larger city and he agrees with my love of these dumplings. Ping was incredibly kind and so accommodating! She was not only kind to us, but she was kind and accommodating to multiple people who came in while we were eating, even to a man seeking water for him and his friend. This was notable to me since it is not uncommon for restaurant owners and workers to just tell people no and treat struggling people poorly. I truly do not see or agree with some reviews that spoke negatively of her and called her rude. We unfortunately live about 5 hours from Seattle but we will certainly come back every time we visit Seattle! We got strawberry bubble smoothies on the way out and it was also so delicious! Thank you so much again for your hospitality and I can’t wait for our next visit!

I’m a huge fan of mom and pop restaurants and will go out of my way to support one rather than eat at a big chain restaurant. We’ve been passing by this place every few days for months and thought we’d give it a shot. In the entry room there’s a big bubble tea counter (always a good sign) with a great assortment of smoothies and bubble tea. The main dining room is full of bright line green tables right out of an 80’s movie set. The food and service smacked of the foods we got at the night markets in northern China. Small hand formed dumplings and buns prepared in house and all of the standard sauces. Nothing was mind blowing but everything was good. It’s a nice spot if you just want some quick comfort food or something fast before a game or concert.

We love Pings! It is our go to place downtown. We always get soup dumplings and beef noodle soup because they are so good! Ping is a one woman kitchen ( she does have help some time) and her recipes are full of flavor and nourishment. The dumplings are so good that they disappear off the plate. She always has 3 kinds of savory toppings for them. There is not another dumpling house in the Seattle area that can compare with her delicious fresh handmade dumplings. The beef soup is also delicious, tender meat tasty broth, yummy noodles and enough vegetables to keep my palate happy. Pings is less than 1/2 block from the light rail. You’ve got to try it!

Lady is very nice who works there. The lamb skewers are very tough. Not that great. Everything is okay. I had the soup dumplings a long time ago those are good. If I wanted soup dumplings again I would go here. The food is okay. Not great but not that good either.

Got some pretty good dumplings from this place in the International District. It sure has a lot of places to get this delicacy around here. Ping's Dumpling House is one of the most authentic of all these. Order at the counter and get a few that are freshly made. The prices are pretty good for portions. Check out all the dumplings they have. It's certainly got a lot. There's many for meat eaters and vegetarians. Before going know they make these fresh. That means they're pretty much made to order, so it can be a little of a wait. It's about $14 to get an order. There's about a dozen or so dumplings in these. Enough for a couple people to share a steam box. We got the Napa Cabbage, Tofu, And Black Mushroom Dumplings, which were plump and steaming. Good flavor even before using the oils. The dumplings were pretty tender. Has the best dumplings in the area. It's located on King Street close to the International District rail station. There's a few of these for vegans and vegetarians.

Generous portions for cozy, home-style dumplings. If you don't want to wait in line forever at Dough Zone or pay exorbitant Dough Zone prices, head here! Also a great option if seafood isn't your favourite. There are super delicious lamb dumplings, which is a rare treat when so many restaurants skew to Southern Chinese cuisines. Pretty slow at lunch on a weekday, so food came very quickly and the atmosphere was nice.

Dumplings were great! Ambience was very nice and bathrooms are surprisingly clean! We ordered the shrimp noodle, green onion pancake, and the chicken dumplings! Compliments to the owner and chef!

If you're looking for a family owned mom and pop dumpling restaurant, come here! I'll admit I'm usually the one to hit up Dough Zone, but I was very happy with our meal here. It's in a convenient spot within international district and much cleaner/modern than most other Chinese restaurants lol. We ordered pretty much every staple dish and shared family style! The soup dumplings and potstickers definitely stood out. We were served by the friendly woman seen in other review photos. She was more than accommodating and friendly.

I gave this place multiple triesnto redeem itself but to no avail. $14.99 for the soup dumplings is a food crime. I had the shrimp and pork XLB's and the top part was hard, while the bottom part of the dumplings fell apart. The Green Onion Pancakes $4.99 were fried in dirty oil as there were black specks on the pancake when I bit into it. The service was decent but, both items came out luke warm. How does an order of streamed dumplings not come out hot? If you are named Ping's Dumplings, why would you even serve this to your customers? I should have taken the hint as I was the only person in the restaurant as an Indication that the food was not good. After I took the pictures, i left my barely eaten food on the table. Just go to Dough Zone where the XLB's are constantly hot and the food is not cooked in dirty oil.

Ordered soup dumplings, steamed dumplings, shrimp chow mein and mapo tofu. Food did not taste good. The chow mein was alright until I found a piece of metal in my mouth. One of the dumplings had a really strong horse radish flavor, not really sure what that's about. The soup dumplings were probably the most decent thing we had there and even that wasn't very inviting. We ordered 3 bowls of rice and then were told after the fact they were out of rice. They replaced it with the chive pancake which was dry and unappetizing. The price of the pancake was less than the 3 bowls of rice but we were charged the rice anyways. Not a huge difference in price but when the meal is that bad it stands out. Overall I will never be coming back. Maybe it was an off day, but not worth me spending $20 to find out.

Yes Yes Yes! Just go. The pork soup dumplings, the chicken potstickers, and the veggie chow mein were done to perfection. The prices were reasonable and the food was incredible. I would eat here all the time if I lived in Seattle.

You moved to Seattle for work, leaving the comfort of family behind to seek your fortune. You miss the connection that having a meal with relatives provides, a warm place where you can be yourself and accepted for who you are...except for that one grandma who didn't coddle you and also didn't have time for your bullshit. Oh, she'd feed you and keep you relatively safe but you could expect to hear her comment on the extra weight you put on or your stupid haircut while she served dinner. But dinner was always amazing and you knew that despite the commentary that she loves you and would do anything for you. I hadn't felt this way since my grandma passed decades ago, until I walked into Ping's. She's often by herself in there and works her rear off, cooking, taking orders, cashier...you've entered her domain and just like grandma (Wanda or Ethel or whatever your gram's name was) she's got no time and little patience for your sensitive Seattleite crap, she just wants to feed you. Food is great, dumplings are perfect and taste better and a little more 'real' than those of her close neighbor Dough Zone (I love them too). I'm sure lots of her reviews talk in depth about the food, so I will skip that part. Soup dumplings and onion pancake are go-to's though. If you want a relaxed, cozy place to have a great meal that feels like you are sitting at the table in your grandma's house, try it out.

I came here while on a food crawl with my cousin. We ate at all the restaurants on this block and I would say this was our least favorite. The ambiance was pretty average, and the dumplings were just okay. The lady that served us was wonderful but the dumplings left much to be desired. Based on the other reviews maybe she was overwhelmed with the crawl crowd. Will try again another time.

No waitress. Must order and pay online while sitting at table. Cilantro and salt are your main flavors. The noodles were a salt bomb. We couldn't eat it. Be careful what you order online.

The cashier at the front was so sweet!! I believe it was the owner, it was a quick service and straight to the point. I got the chicken soup dumplings, so yummy!! We also bonded over boba, and how they make their tea fresh per boba order and not in bulk.

Thanks Strictly Dumpling/Mikey Chen for recommending this place on YouTube! Came in around 7pm and we were quickly seated, offered tea and utensils - yay Beef XLB - very fresh (owner recommended these cause they said they were just made and they were right!) and flavorful, wasn't too much soup but no biggie Pork and Chive Lu Baos - good filling and also flavorful Would recommend checking out if you're wanting dumplings-- be sure to be patient cause there were only 2 staff members working including the owner

I bought both pork soup dumplings cooked at the restaurant and bought the frozen lamb dumplings. Overall, the dumplings have the potential to be delicious, just some minor changes. Filling: In both, there is a lot of meat filling (good!) in the dumplings, and it tastes good. However, the dumplings are a little bit too salty, and after the first couple of dumplings, it adds up. For context, I typically do not put sauce with the dumplings but will put sauce on at least one. When I had the pork soup dumplings, I did not put any on because it was getting hard to eat them without water. I've shared some of the frozen ones with people who usually put sauce on them, and they couldn't put any sauce on because of the saltiness. For the wrap/skin: I think it's easy to overcook the skin. When I had the soup dumplings (xiao long bao) made at the restaurant, the skin seemed to sag, and it was hard to pick up the dumplings without the skin ripping off. I care more about the meat filling, but I also like having the soup in the xiao long bao. For the frozen dumpling I brought home, some of them already had the soup/juice seeping out after the first to second pour of cold water. For this, I'm not certain what would help fix it. Maybe the wrapping itself is too thin, or there might be too much meat filling, making it easy for the skin to break (I hope it's not the meat). I would love to buy from them again, I don't have the time to make dumplings at home, and their prices are reasonable to me. If it was less salty, I would much prefer to buy their dumplings frozen over the ones sold at the grocery stores.

The owner wasn't friendly. The chili oil container was 1/3 full and went back in and asked for another one. She wasn't happy and told me that the sauce was "a very cheap chili". Which I took as, go buy some. I was visiting Seattle and If I had an option, I'd dine in, but COVID-19. Dumplings didn't really hold up in the to-go container, especially the Xi along Bao (soup dumplings). It was busy, I understand, would try it again to support local.

I been to this place 2x now and Im sticking with my original thought. The first time, my husband picked up the food so I can't say what he experience, but both times ,it took a while for the food to be ready m it looks like there's only 2 ladies there working. One does the cleaning and one does the rest. Food is made as order. I can see this being ideal for smaller places but they have a restaurant, I'm not sure how long you would be waiting if they have 3-4 customers at the same time. For me though, when I came in here, the lady was cleaning the floor and it was soo strong of bleach that it definitely put a bad taste in my mouth. The ladies was very nice though, even though their English was not that great. Food wise, I got a pork soup dumpling, a pork a chive steam dumplings and a pork pot stickers. They were all standard to me. Nothing really stood out. I think the favorite thing here was the sauce. My husband love the sauce. Overall, it's an ok place, but with so many places nearby that has dumplings and shorter wait time, it's definitely not my go to, but definitely check them out!!!

Popular spots in the International District often have lines which has me or The Homie a wandering to nearby spots to kill time and explore. Ping's Dumpling House was one of those spots. What was learned based on a takeout order back on 5/31/21 was that they do tasty "meat on a stick" and a pretty decent milk tea. I was able to snag a few bites from The Homie's order. Meat was flavorful, tender, and pretty generous on all the skewers ordered. Milk tea was refreshing, I just prefer other ID locations a bit more. I do have a note to self to return and explore the menu further.

Pings was great fun. It is precisely what the name says: a dumpling house. Soup dumplings (the soup is inside the dumpling), pot stickers, soup with dumplings and a handful of stir-fried items. Ping's is run by two women who manage the cleanest kitchen I have ever seen anywhere. The women will also explain how to eat soup dumplings so you don't burn your mouth or have soup run down the front of your shirt. And don't expect any frills; this is a very spartan store-front restaurant near the Chinatown arch. We had chicken soup dumplings, lamb potstickers, and bok choy with garlic. The soup dumplings were great. I think I'd get tofu potstickers next time. The bok choy was a needed contrast to the dumplings.

Yelp
Ping's Dumpling House does not disappoint! I cannot stress how much I love their Pork & Chives Dumplings! The Pork & Chives Dumplings bad generous portions of meat and is especially good with the chili oil and garlic soy sauce mix! Also, I really enjoyed how the pork-chives ratio was just perfect. In addition, the Xiao Long Baos have a unique take, as they aren't filled with your traditional soup base. The Xiao Long Baos are extremely meaty and taste delicious with the the vinegar-ginger sauce. While the food is authentic and quite tasty, I must compliment on the service. The owner, Ping, is friendly, hospitable, and treats everyone as if they were family. Ping is a lovely person, and I hope to get to know her more in the future. Highly recommend :)

Dumplings themselves are delicious! I was just very turned off by the service that we were given. Their hours state that they are open until 10PM. We arrived around 7:30PM. Aggressively told to get a seat and order. Before we were able to even look at the menu we were told we needed to order. It was our first time here so we had questions about the menu but it just seemed more of a hassle to the person who was there. Food was made very quickly which was nice. Food was delicious! My favorite part was the CHILI OIL. Omg it was spicy but in a good way and delicious. Definitely made the dumplings even better. They also had a garlic sauce available and that was good too. As we got our food we literally were stared down while eating as if they wanted us to hurry up and finish.. it was around 8 by now. As soon as we got our food we were given the check instantly.. not even able to order more if we wanted. They turned off lights in one area. As soon as we were going to pay the whole demeanor of the person serving us changed, she was a older woman. She all of a sudden became every friendly and asked how we liked the food. It was weird.. when we paid literally the couple in the restaurant (server and cook aka wife and husband I'm guessing) were out the door, they closed up and left. This is about a little after 8 now. Granted I want to give them the benefit of doubt and maybe they had some emergency which is why we were given such horrible service that was rushed. But it if your hours have changed UPDATE YOUR INFO. That way people aren't going in last minute and getting such crappy service. But yes go try the dumplings- food is great. Service however was not for us.

This is one of my favorite restaurants in all of Seattle! The food is reasonably priced and so flavorful and delicious, I am obsessed and can't wait to go back. The service is friendly and fast and it is a wonderful dining experience. Try the scallion pancakes and veggie chow mein, they are outstanding!

The first time I came here was with a group of people and I was able to try a number of dumplings and dishes. It's close to work and since covid I've picked up frozen dumplings to make soup at home. They're known for their dumplings but what I've really been enjoying lately is their noodles soups especially when there is a chill in the air it hits the spot. Generous servings and a variety of options to try. Dumplings are better to order when with a group which you can't really do right now. It gives you more opportunity to try different dishes rather than just having a plate of one type of dumplings.

I live close by and have been getting take out from here recently. Prices have increased from old menu photos, but I think it's still a great deal. Definitely plan to order from here more often! The turnaround time via phone or online order has been pretty quick (within 15 minutes) so far, maybe because I only order one item at a time and haven't caught them when super busy.

What a tasty lunch! we got dumpling soup and fried pork dumplings and shared the bowl of soup. Every bite was delicious, with bright flavors, obviously made with the freshest ingredients. Ping is lovely, happily walked us through the menu and helped us choose this fine meal.

Walked by and stopped in on a whim. What a nice find. Dumpings are hand made on site. I can tell because the folds remind me of how my mom used to make these and second, there is a window where I can see them making it. XLBs were soupy, and the xuigao had the texture and taste of any I had growing up or tried overseas. This is a good sign as few dumplings wound truly be all that much greater. Condiments on the table were ginger vinegar for XLBs, spicy oil, and garlic sauce. I prefer things a bit on the salty side and would liked a bit if soy sauce, personally. Food was good. The candy dish at the counter were pre-melted so they were stuck together and sticky. I'd recommend that one enjoy the hot food but go next door for dessert.

Came in with a small group for lunch before a game at the stadium. We had so much fun trying a bunch of different dishes! It's definitely a small family business with a hole in the wall feel, but that adds to the magic! We tried a bunch of different dumplings, lamb skewers, chow mein, schezwan pork and milk tea. Everything was very flavorful and well prepared. Prices are very reasonable too!

Had walked past this place a few times, and finally popped in. Sometimes yelp reviews aren't as accurate, so I thought maybe it would be surprising. Unfortunately, it was surprising, but not in the way that I'd hoped. The cucumber was chopped haphazardly, and just topped with a random topping. All I can say about the taste is "a little sour." Not delicious at all. I don't know how you do a fried tomato-egg dish wrong, but they did it. The egg was overcooked, and the egg/tomato ratio was heavy on the egg side. It was cooked with chives and sesame oil, as is customary... but where was the sugar?!?! Tomato egg is supposed to be sweet, and there was no sweetness. It just tasted like a fried egg with a little tomato and chive mixed in. The dumplings. The crab & pork soup dumplings were ok. Presentation wasn't great, and there wasn't much "soup" to speak of. There was no burst of flavor that you might expect upon biting into a soup dumpling. But, at least it was edible. I can't say the same for the chicken dumplings. Good lord. As my boyfriend said and I quote, "the worst dumplings I've ever eaten." We only ate one each and abandoned them. It was a disappointing experience. :/ If you stumble upon this place while wandering in International District, there's a reason why this place is empty! So many places that would have better food!

I totally bombarded Mrs. Ping with a group of 13 people. It took us awhile to answer her simple questions "how many", "chopsticks or forks", "where would you like to sit"? We were horrible. But, she hustled. Her husband was cooking up our storm. She was at our table every couple mins as the food came up. None of us remembered what we ordered. The food was amazing. And the portions were perfect. After all the food was out, she came back and checked in and apologized for waits etc. I couldn't figure out the billing. I thought I had paid her twice. She had to sit and explain it to me over and over. The whole time she was patient and just kept saying it again and again until I understood. I definitely recommend. Maybe only 4 people max though. I felt like an a-hole when I realized it's more of a quick stop restaurant vs full service and seating. I encourage everyone to go.

Went to grab lunch before heading out to the airport and Ping's was one of the few shops open at 10:30am. We were the first customers for the day! Being cold and rainy outside we just wanted something warm but to our surprise the food was delicious and the lady was very nice to take our order because we sat there not realizing we order online lol. The food came pretty fast and the dumpling were so fresh and juicy!!! The wrap was perfect not like some dumplings where it is too thick and barely and meat. This one was meaty and flavorful! The wonton soup was delicious and light but if you add a drop of the spicy sauce it makes it all the more amazing and delicious loved it!

Went here last night for some takeout. My friend and I got the chive & pork(?) dumpling, beef and onion buns, and lu bao. I can't say we were fans of the dumplings. They were sour, had way too much chive, and weren't well filled. The buns were alright. I thought they could've used a little more filling, but the dough of the buns were super soft, springy, and not dry at all. If I went back, I'd order the beef and onion buns only Overall I wasn't too impressed with the food but service was great and friendly and we only spent $25 for our 3 menu items.

Very causal place. Food was amazing! We had the green onion pancake and the shrimp soup dumplings. Wow!! We shared between two people and the flavor was amazing and freshly prepared. And we loved that it wasn't a fancy place. Just crazy good authentic food.

We came in on a Sunday at 3pm and had the whole restaurant to ourselves. We got to chat with the owner and learned about how they make food by hand and use family recipes. I like their online ordering system and made it easier for everyone. You could also use it to pay so that's convenient if you're in a rush. Food was great and many options for vegetarians. Both steamed dumplings pictured were very good and different from what I've had at competing restaurants. The bok choy was simple but so good! I definitely recommend this place!

Worst dumplings I've ever had. Soup dumplings had no soup in it. There was this taste that I couldn't get out of my mouth... I feel bad for posting negative reviews but bad experience. Wouldn't recommend at all.

Ephraim G.

Yelp
The best food I have EVER put in my mouth. I love it here! To me, this is the best restaurant in Seattle! Ping is so nice, she is always happy to see me & I always refer to her as my dumpling mom. I love her more than my real mom lol. The dumplings are handmade to order, I always get Pork Xiao Long Bao - they taste like a delicious meaty umami hug! I swear, every time, it's like a spiritual experience for me, I try to bring everyone I know into the Ping's Dumpling cult of dumpling worship. The pot stickers are really good too; I love the crunchy skirt on them, it's almost cheesey, but the Pork Xiao Long Bao are on another level of legendary. On the table, there is garlic soy sauce, ginger soy sauce, and chili oil to use at your discretion for each item. Whenever there is a rainy day or maybe I just feel a bit sad, I can count on Ping to make dumplings that will fill my heart and fix my soul, I know I will always leave full & happy because the dumplings are truly made with love.

Ping's Decent Prices I agree Friendly service I agree Beef noodle soup, good broth, beef that is tough.. I don't agree b/c leave that 2 trucks that r built Ford tough Boiled Shrimp, Pork & Napa Cabbage Dumplings - bland n don't taste any filling @ all.  I definitely don't agree (Beef continued.. so I asked the waitress wat part of beef cut is in the noodle? She raised her leg up n formed a knife w/ her hand n demonstrated cutting patterns below the knee)

David T.

Yelp
I stopped here hoping for Yelp expectations but unfortunately was let down. I ordered the shrimp soup dumplings, the lamb skewer, the pork and chive soup dumplings and the pork and Napa steamed dumplings. The lamb skewers were a total rip off. Five tiny 1/2 inch pieces of lamb that had little flavor for $6. Don't wait your time. The shrimp soup dumplings had more green than shrimp and the shrimp had no flavor. Also little to no soup. The pork and chive were also soupless. Very disappointed on the outcome of this whole order.

Popped in to check out this Dumpling joint. I watched a review form a YouTuber named Simply Dumpling so my expectations were pretty high. This place didn't disappoint. Food was so good. The service was so personable. We just love the lady that runs the front. I will definitely be coming back to explore more of the menu.

Disappointing dumplings! We came here for dinner and the experience was just very off, from the beginning. First off, we waited to be seated and the two employees just kept looking at us and didn't acknowledge our presence until we finally asked if it's self-seating since they weren't going to assist us. They then asked if it was just the two of us and pointed at the first table by the door. Unfortunately, service didn't get much better as the two servers seemed to be in a hurry when taking orders and literally kept yelling at people, either directing them to menu items, where to sit and confirming orders. Why so loud? But the food was horrible! We ordered the Pork and Chive Dumplings and the Pork Soup Dumplings. Although it didn't take long to get our food, it was all borderline, inedible. Pork Soup Dumplings didn't have any soup and the dough was very dried out, as the texture wasn't moist at all; and you'd think with the shell that it would be soft, but the very tip was hard. Much was the case for the Pork and Chive Dumplings. Those tasted a tad better with the chive flavor, but texture was dry and pork inside was very small. Plus, the dipping sauce and ginger to eat your dumplings with made them taste even worse! The taste was sooo bitter, as if the sauce had been really old, and smell was foul! Dumplings tasted better without the sauce, and that's not saying much. I will not be returning, as the food was a waste of money and service was abrupt and rude. With all the other dumpling spots in the International District, don't make Ping's an option.

We attended the dragon festival that was located in Chinatown back in July and there weren't a lot of food options, so the rest of our group decided to get something to eat from here. When we met up with them, they already ordered items for everyone to share. We ended up getting the chicken heart skewers, pork and chives pocket, and the crab meat xiao long bao. I wasn't interested in the skewers, but tried the xiao long bao and pocket. The xiao long baos were pretty flavorless, so it wasn't very enjoyable, but the pockets were actually pretty good. They were huge and had a nice crunchy texture. Service wasn't that great and the staff seemed annoyed that we didn't order more food LOL.

We were on on our way to the Dough Zone and they ended up having a long wait so we looked elsewhere and stumbled upon Pings. We were seated right away and were able to order directly from our phones pretty quickly! You place the order from your phone without having to go through the whole process of paying etc so the food went in quick and came out quick. The woman serving us was super friendly and attentive. Honestly, felt like we were in her kitchen at her house. We thought the food was great. We had a mix of soup dumplings, pot stickers and buns. Honestly, between the easy process, quick food and good service, it was a great experience!

Walked in and was immediately greeted by the kindest owner ever! Got what she recommended: Chive and Pork Lu Bao, Pork Potsticker, and Pork Juicy Soup Dumpling! I am never turning away away- this was one of the best foods in Seattle so far. Completely underrated, so worth everything. Please go if you're in the area! I would love to continue supporting this kind business

The Pork Soup Dumplings were so good! I found the online menu and ordering system very easy to use. Service was prompt and efficient. Be careful of the red chili sauce on the table! A little goes a long way but the flavor is SO good!

Pleasantly surprised by Pings Dumpling House! There was no wait when we arrived. Lots of food and drink options to choose from, and reasonably priced. The dumplings were delicious and so was the coffee milk tea. The food was fresh and the owner was very friendly. Would definitely go again!

I always feel bad leaving a restaurant a bad review because I understand the work and time that goes into what they do. This is strictly about the food we had, the restaurant was a pleasant experience and they take care of their space. We got pork soup dumplings as well as pork dumplings. The soup dumplings didn't taste very good, they seemed microwaved rather than steamed. They were dry and the internals didn't taste like pork. The pork dumplings had good internal ingredients but the skin was too thick and seemed off. It was doughy like it wasn't cooked long enough. The dipping options for the dumplings was a red vinegar with different toppings inside. I would have preferred a soy sauce base that I can then add vinegar/spices to.
