Ping's Place

This is the 3rd time I've ordered Salt and Pepper Chicken here where they left out the fried basil leaves that really make the dish special. IlI used to work in GW Supermarket and I enjoyed getting this dish on my lunches. The crispy basil leaves are soo good! I told the lady at the cash register that this was the 3rd time that they didn't add the basil leaves and asked for some. She lied to me and said they were out. I later found either the owner, or a manager and they fried some basil leaves and gave them to me. I gave this place 4 or 5 stars back when they cooked things right. I will change the review if it has basil leaves next time like it does on the menu.

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.

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

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.🙄

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.

amazing taste of Chinese northern style. Absolutely the best Beijing & Tianjin dishes.

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.

I do have to say they don't have much food on the menu for you to choose, however, all food they provide are fabulous! Cruller, beef wrap, egg pancake (not American style) are something you must try! I personally doubt one of the reviews because 1. they charge you extra 4% which is true, but ONLY if you use credit/debit card and they typically tell you ahead before charging you. 2. I never compare price, so I don't know, but as long as they have the price listed, then I don't see anything wrong with it. Example, the cruller from the one next to it, it's too firm to me, then why I get the firm ones with saving little extra even though that's true? 3. I don't know other people, I never had stomach or diarrhea issue with them

Excited to see a Taiwanese spot with breakfast items! Loved that the tofu pudding and sweet soymilk was not too sweet. Fried donut stick seemed standard. Wished the egg crepe came with sauce we are used to getting when we order it in TW. Fantuan was good. Wait was quite long though for items on a Friday morning that should be fast, so docking a star for that.

My go-to place for Taiwanese beef noodle soup. It hits every time. The beef is always soo tender, and lots of big chunks. They don't skimp out, and reasonably priced. The consistency of the noodles is always perfect too. The wontons in chili oil were a bit bland though. But also not skimped, and reasonably priced.

Inside, Great Wall, this is my most visited food stall. They have the best, nostalgic, Chinese breakfast of fried crullers, soy milk, and sweet soy bits (豆腐花). Of course, service is okay (even if you speak Chinese), but I don't mind that at all, as long as I get the delicious food!! I showed my partner this combination, of dipping fried crullers into sweet soy milk, and she's hooked!

I haven't tried anything other than their sticky rice rolls, love the purple rice one. If you eat it freshly made, it's so good. For $3 each you can't complain. The other thing I get is the sweet tofu pudding (douhua). I usually get it at dimsum, but it's hardly available these days. I just pop in and get what I need after some grocery shopping at great wall. Service is quick. Tip: pay with cash or you get charged a 3% cc fee.

I always come here for the savory version of the doufunao (soft tofu). Yummy and only $3. It's in the Great Wall Supermarket food court so nothing fancy but great for a quick bite.

Just moved to Athens GA and was so excited to find this place! We had all the staple breakfast foods and they were yummy! Will be back soon to try the beef noodle soup and other lunch items.

This is a small little food stall inside the Great Wall Chinese supermarket. They have a bunch of popular, traditional Chinese breakfast foods like youtiao (fried dough), scallion pancake, tofu pudding, hot soy milk, etc. I wanted to order everything on the menu but had to restrain myself cause we didn't want to be in a food coma for the rest of the day lol. So I got sweet hot soy milk along with youtiao, savory tofu pudding, and beef pancake. My bf got pork congee from another food stall. The youtiao wasn't as fluffy as I hoped but still good, especially after soaking in the soy milk. Ah reminds me of my childhood. *happy tears* The tofu pudding aka Dou Fu Nao was my favorite! It's still wasn't the same as the ones I had growing up in China but the flavor came very close. I wish they threw in some pickled veggies lol. My bf loved the congee but it's such a pain to order from the other food stall. Meanly because the lady at the register had such a thick canto accent that my poor mandarin level had a hard time understanding what she was saying. And she got impatient when I asked to repeat stuff lol. Typical service you'd expect from a food stall I guess. But if you want some authentic Chinese food definitely check this place out! They also have photos of every dish they server so it'll help you see what every dish is like before you order.

I absolutely love Ping's Place! It warms my heart to see Taiwanese food start to get more recognition. I especially love this place because they serve very traditional Taiwanese breakfast items that you are hard pressed to find in other places. The warm soy milk is just so silky smooth with just the right amount of sweetness. The egg pancake has that slightly crispy edge combined with the slightly chewy pancake and soft egg that coats the top of it. Dip it in some chili oil and it is delicious. Finally, the scallion pancake is just so wonderfully crispy and flaky. It is also a good size and makes sharing with 2 or 3 other people really easy. This is a go to of mine for Taiwanese breakfast. If you want a similar experience, be sure to check this place out! :)

Compare to other restaurant in the food court ,they are the only one I eat .Reasonable price and quality food .I like their noodle

Very solid beef and tendon noodle soup! The broth had depth in its flavor, the beef tendon was perfect in texture, and the noodles were not overcooked! Their spicy wontons could have been tastier/spicier but were still a yummy snack.

Classic Chinese breakfast items like soy milk and fried dough stick (you tiao) along with other typical lunch menu

The food is not bad, but they told me I will need to pay a 3+% fee for using a credit card. That is not right. The flavors of pork bento and beef tendon noodle were decent. The bento included a boiled egg, pickled vegetable, cauliflower, Ma po tofu, and rice. I liked the variety of side dishes. The broth of the beef noodle soup was clear and not too salty. It had 6 or 7 large pieces of soft tendon and bok choy. The breakfast egg scallion pancake was delicious.

This rude owner boss lady. If you're that annoyed to go to work true. Close your shop. We asked to put one of our foods for togo and she told us no you do it yourself. Having a bad morning? It 11am and giving people attitude already. If we asked you for food for togo then wouldn't it be easier for you to put it for togo instead of giving it to us on your plates and we need it for togo anyways. What is the whole point of this attitude. People like this just stay at home. Don't open the shop.

It is one of the food shops inside a chinese grocery market. My friends and I wanted to eat something for breakfast and decided to buy from here. Food is decent and fair price

Pandemic-era review: STILL DELICIOUS! Salt and pepper chicken bento, chicken fried rice were super yummy, and I was so happy to hear that they have douhua (listed as tofu soup on the menu): if you get the sweet version, as I did, it is a delightful dessert with a lightly sweet and gingery soup and melt-in-your-mouth soft tofu. 18 bucks all told, for two entrees and one treat! Plexiglass barrier between customers and the staff is up, there are stickers on the floor to remind customers to distance and all staff had masks on. Already thinking about the next time I can come back!

$7 for a fried pork cutlet with rice, veggies, and egg. The friend recommend the pork chop rice platter. The large portion was pretty filling. It consists of a plate of rice topped with a nice portion of crispy pork chop. There's a hard-boiled brown egg, bok choy, bean sprouts, tofu, and other various veggies. Nothing about the food really stood out except for the price. The quality/price ratio was ok. The quantity/price ratio was excellent. There's free water at the front. They charge extra if you use cards. Would I come here again? Sure. I like food stalls at Asian grocery stores because it's convenient and I don't have to wait for servers.

A neat haven for lovers of Taiwanese cuisine. Most of the staples are here: beef noodle soup, bentos, breakfast items. And it's located in the Great Wall food court, which is convenient-ish though I'd wish the market made it easier to move between the market and the food court if one has a cart. Got two bentos, an egg scallion pancake, and a fried crueller/toasted bing combo. The food was pretty good, no complaints there. With the bentos, I particularly liked how all the necessary elements of a Taiwanese bento were there--pickled vegetables, minced pork (and gravy) over rice, the tea egg, greens--as well as the inclusion of tomato-egg-tofu on the side. It's a lot of food for a good price. I was too full to eat much of the other items, but the bite or two I had of each suggested they all checked out. I really only have two critiques. The first is that I wish the pork chop was bone-in, as is the norm in Taiwanese take-out shops. That way, the chop is a bit thicker and meaty, and the bone lents more flavor to the chop. In contrast, the thin, boneless one Ping's uses feels like it came out of the freezer and not particularly meaty/. It's rather reminiscent of pork katsu that you get in Hawaiian plate lunches, though credit to Ping's for getting the breading and seasoning down. The other critique is the 3% credit card surcharge, which is applied regardless of the subtotal. Other stalls in the GW food court have credit card surcharges as well, but all of them waive it if you spend a $5 or $10 minimums; Ping's is the only one that applies it universally. When I asked the woman behind the counter why that was the case, her response was too complicated for my lousy Chinese. But I think she said that their POS software applied it automatically, which I'm skeptical and/or think they should change. Honestly, I'd be fine if they just added 25 cents to each menu item because it's far more annoying than feeling like you're getting nickel-and-dimed. Anyway, dumb credit card surcharges aside, the food is good, affordable, and in generous portions. I'll visit again, and will undoubtedly complain about the surcharge again as well.

The beef noodle soup that I ordered today had A PIECE OF HAIR on the surface of a beef slice. I spoke with the worker, and she kept convincing me that it was not hair. She then proceeds to encourage me to finish the noodle soup, and she offered neither a replacement or refund. I ended up dumping the soup. Please DO NOT purchase anything from this restaurant as it has terrible kitchen hygiene!

I tried their beef and tendon noodle soup, and it was really good. I also got a seafood noodle soup and loved it. The spicy wontons were pretty good too. Finally, I got the small soup dumplings, which were quite tasty. I ate them in my car as I left the place with my to go boxes cuz they were delicious! All in all, a great restaurant with tasty food, packed well!

The wontons in the soup were alright. The soup was plain. The salt and pepper chicken was AMAZING. So crispy and flavorful. I would definitely recommend. The wontons in spicy sauce were very good and the spice wasn't too spicy. The tendon and beef were currently tender and the hand pulled noodles in it were fresh and had a great consistency. I would definitely come here again. The only bad thing is it's inside of a supermarket and they mainly speak Chinese so you have to pay attention to your order.

Unfortunately I forgot to take photos while I was here, but I decided to try the beef shao bing (chinese beef pancake/beef roll on the menu), the dan bing (egg & scallion crepe on menu) and the sweet tofu soup. Dan bing - good. Didn't blow me away, but pleasant, I was content to eat it. Maybe a tiny bit salty but not to the point of unpleasantness, and not greasy. Shao bing - this one was a little plain, but it was hearty and comforting. Sweet tofu soup - also a little plain, but when served hot it was also sweet and comforting and served cold it was quite refreshing. The best way I can describe this experience is that it was all very much comfort food. While nothing was particularly stellar, eating the food was nevertheless just pleasant and enjoyable. The prices are fantastic here, though, be warned that it can get a bit crowded.

This place has THE best Taiwanese-style stinky tofu with cabbage kimchi I've ever had in the States. Even my parents liked it, and they're so picky as to what tastes "authentic." For those that have never had stinky tofu, it's basically a tofu that's been fermented in a special way. It's not an overly powerful taste, but I do think it's an acquired taste. You typically eat it with the "stinky tofu sauce," which I'm not even sure the ingredients of, as well as the hot sauce it comes with. You put those sauces, along with the cabbage kimchi, on top of the tofu, and you eat everything together. I also had their cold, sweetened soy milk and yo tiao (fried cruller). They were good, but not overly exceptional. That being said, I still always order them in addition to the stinky tofu, haha. The only drawback of this place (well, aside from having to pay cash) is that it's located in an Asian grocery store that has the typical "odor." However, if you can get over that initial smell, the food is reaaaallly good!

Only had one item. Because we got other food from other shop in store. Excellent scallion pancakes #21 .only $2.75 So many other places overcook or greasy Here flaver, texture great. Will try other items next time

Little Taiwanese food found in the Great Wall Food Court. These place is famous on their noodles. You can select three different kind of noodles to go with you bowl of soup. Basically you can create your own. Their selection also include dumplings, fried biscuits, cook dish, breakfast, porridge, pancakes and drink. It has big selection and combination that you may not know what you want. I have the wonton noodle soup which is very traditional. However, I make some change on the noodles from typical egg noodles to rice vermicelli noodles. Asa results, I have clear white soup base. It actually turn out very good. I like their wonton because the wonton skin is fluffy and thin. The wonton meat is season with good taste. The order take about 5 minutes when there was no people in front of me. Good soup for light meal.

Great flavorful food at amazing prices inside Great Wall Supermarket. The service is quick and pleasant. I love their Chili Wontons and the Salt & Pepper Chicken

Legit food court restaurant serving up salty soy milk and you tiao (fried dough stick) inside of the Great Wall supermarket! The service is of a typical Chinese establishment (basically no customer service) and cash only which is annoying. But the food is good and there aren't many places that serve this type of fare. If you can deal with the lackluster service and the crowded seating area, the food will be worth it! Very good place for cheap eats! The salty soy milk was delicious and only $2 and the pork over rice bento was huge and came with a side of tomato with egg and tofu and was under $8. I was full for the rest of the day! Be careful when you get the you tiao since they come fresh out of the fryer and are piping hot! They have self serve cups for water on the side of the register as well.

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.

This place gave me diarrhea for one week. Be careful of the pork chops. Food poisoning from this place. Every time I eat here I get diarrhea. I learn my lesson now. I stay home for one week. This place must not be clean.

It was so good! We had the beef noodle soup, Chinese cruller, salt and pepper chicken, and sweet soy milk. It was so flavorful and you can tell they cooked with love! Noodles were really bouncy and fresh and soup had deep flavor. I recommend this place.

My sister was really craving some traditional Taiwanese beef noodle soup. There was really only one option in the Great Wall food court for that: Ping's Place. Ping's Place reminds me of Bento on Jimmy Carter. They've got all the little Taiwanese snacks and bento staples. Even though it's cash only, they don't charge you for sales tax... So you win some, you lose some. The beef noodle soup is standard. Beef was tender and the broth was richly beefy. The noodles were chewy. Not a fan of how the veggies weren't sliced into shorter pieces - I don't really want to choke. Oh, and just a reminder to non-Taiwanese patrons: Taiwanese food is on the blander spectrum of Asian cuisine. That being said, don't expect a ragingly spicy Szechuan dish or a health seasoned Cantonese entree. I was tempted to try some of their fried chicken or other traditionally Taiwanese bento dishes, but I'm glad I didn't. We ordered way too much food from all the other stalls already. Next time, I'm definitely bringing more cash.

You can find Ping's Place at 2300 Pleasant Hill Rd, Duluth, GA 30096 in the Great Wall Supermarket about a block west of Satellite Blvd where it crosses Pleasant Hill Rd. I've written my last two reviews about two other business in this same food court - you'll find it on the left along the entire wall of food businesses. As mentioned previously, I met with a group of friends for a lunch UYE at the Great Wall Supermarket hosted by Tuong Vi P (https://www.yelp.com/events/duluth-uye-lets-do-saturday-lunch-great-wall-supermarket) - basically about a dozen of us sampled various treats from one of about 5-6 restaurants in the food court. This food court specializes in authentic Chinese cuisine so you'll see variations of dumplings, saucy dishes, pork belly and Chinese BBQ. The Saturday was extremely busy with a full market and full food court - it took some time to gather together the many tables we needed and people kept coming to join our group. Ping's Place specializes in Taiwanese food and much like the other places in this exceptional food court, is a counter-order business as you would expect from a food court - sort of "fast casual" before that term meant anything. I did not order the food from Ping's Place, focusing on Best BBQ towards the end. I did manage to sample a few dishes from their menu (photos of items all along the back wall - actually all of these restaurants used this method to communicate): Beef Noodle Soup with hand-cut noodles (served on the weekends): This soup had a good beef broth - the noodles were a bit doughy, reminded me of the pull-drop dumpling soup my mom used to make. The beef was thick sliced and very good. I thought the broth could use a bit more kick - maybe there was a subtlety to it that I was missing? Overall I thought the experience good but not great. The beef soup was very good but could have used a secondary layer of flavor (I have a feeling it was very authentic and true to Taiwanese cooking though, so take my opinion with a grain of salt). (also posted to my food blog)

Ping's Place is a popular Chinese restaurant located inside Duluth's Great Wall Supermarket food court. Great Wall has arguably the best lineup of food court restaurants among the Atlanta area Asian supermarkets (e.g. Super H Mart, Assi). They are all Chinese food though. You can get quick, filling, and tasty meals for under $10 per person. If eating with others, order multiple dishes and have a feast. It's a great deal because you get to try a bunch of different foods and possibly have leftovers to take home. Ping's and everything else inside Great Wall are geared towards the Chinese community. Fortunately, the menu has English translations for just about every dish and a colorful picture menu for a subset of items. There are about 20 different varieties of noodle soups, most of which are about only $6-7 per bowl. Examples of ingredients you might find in these noodle soups include beef, beef tendon, pork chop, mustard cabbage, pork feet, shrimp, and other seafood. You can customize the noodles too (e.g. egg noodles, vermicelli noodles, thin white rice noodles, etc.). Other menu items include dumplings (e.g. leek dumplings), buns (e.g. steamed pork buns), bento boxes (great for lunch, individuals), breakfast-type foods and snack/appetizer items such as Chinese crullers, scallion pancakes, salt and pepper chicken, sweet rice rolls, and congee (rice porridge). Beverages include soy milk, Taiwanese milk teas (including bubble tea), rice milk, and plum juice -- all homemade. The bubble teas are about $3 each. If you want bubble tea, you're probably better off going to Chatime the next stall over. One of the popular dishes at Ping's is the pork chop rice platter. It consists of a plate of rice topped with a nice portion of crispy, boneless pork chop. It's accompanied with a boiled brown egg, bean sprouts, bok choy, chopped mustard cabbage, and Chinese fungus. The pork chop is already sliced for you and its crispy batter and savory flavor are reminiscent of Japanese tonkatsu (pork cutlet). I like the sour mustard cabbage and the soft, slippery fungus. A variant of the pork chop rice platter is the "house specialty rice platter," which is located right next to the pork chop rice platter on the picture menu. This platter comes in a bowl. It's similar to the pork chop rice platter except instead of pork chop as the meat, it's ground pork and gravy. The egg, bok choy, and mustard cabbage are accompanied with pickled cucumbers, bits of cloud ear fungus, and tomato and scrambled egg. The ground pork and gravy are almost like a stew or thick sauce. These platters are filling, contain a variety of ingredients, and are affordable. If I had to recommend one, it would be the pork chop platter since I think most people would prefer the crispy pork chop instead of the ground pork and gravy. I'm a big fan of the Chinese crullers (~$2 each). If you like breads and doughnuts, I highly recommend ordering one or more of these. They're kind of like the Chinese equivalent of doughnuts. They are long, puffy pieces of fried dough. Quite oily. They're magnificent with sweetened condensed milk. An ideal shareable item to order is one of the pancakes. I like the simple scallion pancake (~$2-3). The pancakes are cooked to order. They are thin and take up an entire plate, surface-area-wise. They too are oily, but delectable. The salt and pepper chicken (~$5) is very tasty. This is a popular Taiwanese snack and one that you can find at bubble tea and bakery places like Quickly and Sweet Hut. These are fried, crispy chicken nuggets. Pings' version is not as spicy nor as crispy as its competitors, but they are still good. Addictive. The wonton soup isn't bad. You have the option of having noodles in your wonton soup. Note if you get noodles in your wonton soup, you get less wontons, so there is a trade-off. I suggest getting wontons only. You get about 12 pieces per bowl. They are standard-sized wonton dumplings filled with a pork and shrimp mixture. The broth is clear and mild and comes with chopped cilantro, scallion, and a piece or two of bok choy. You may want to add chili sauce or another condiment to spice up the soup. Condiments, disposable silverware, to-go containers, napkins, water, and tea are available at the front counter. You have to request most items. Complimentary cups of water are poured by staff behind the counter. It's not self-serve like Super H Mart. Service is good. Most items are ready fairly quickly. Some items take longer to cook/prepare than others, such as the scallion pancake. If dining in, the foods are served in plastic plates and bowls on a tray. If dining out, they'll be packaged in Styrofoam to-go containers, bagged and ready for you to take home.

TOO much MSG! I got headache after having food here every time. They used way too MUCH MSG and me so so sick. I can not even breathe and had to lie down for the whole afternoon. I have no any allergy to anything, just the strong MSG Maybe I did not use MSG at all when I cooking at home. I should buy some MSG too in order to get used to eating outside Chinese food with MSG!

One of the food places located within Great Wall. Food is great and service is really fast. The only downside is there's cash only, unless you want an extra 4% charge on your card. If you go on the weekend or during lunch time, it can get pretty chaotic and finding seating can be pretty difficult.

Ping's place, not to be mistaken with Ping's Place Too, is located inside the massive complex that is The Great Wall Supermarket. Early in the morning, you will find customers waiting outside for the stutters to roll open and the Taiwanese feast to begin. Oh yes, this is Taiwanese food readily available to you---sitting right next to, in the same food court as...a Sichuan kiosk, a bun bakery, and at the end some of the best Hong Kong BBQ I have ever had in the US. Two different types of hard boiled eggs, but tea eggs are a must. Five Spice Beef Rolls, Fried Basil Chicken, Fried Pork Chops, Traditional spicy beef noodle soup, Ground Pork on rice, bubble tea, sour plum drink... the possibilities are endless. And, I recommend trying it all! I feel really sorry for the nice old lady standing there in Ping's Place Too next door. She was completely bored with no customers, while we were attacking the Ping's next door. I will research into this further next time I visit Duluth. If you are in Atlanta, and interested in taking a break from speaking Hangul to try your hand at Cantonese or Mandarin--- it is a convenient way to broaden your horizons even more.

If I can give a zero star I would. Service is terrible. No napkins in this place. We ordered the shrimp wonton. She gave us pork+shrimp wonton. Maybe you should have specify its pork and shrimp instead of just shrimp wonton. Plus they charge me 3%for using credit card ...? Like wtf it's almost 2020.

What I miss most about my once-hated, now-beloved Atlanta (OTP!) is the abundance of all the great Asian food. Living away from it all now, my options for Asian food have decreased by more than 90%, and good Taiwanese breakfast down by 99.9%. There's none where I am now except this one place that serves breakfast on the weekends, and even then, it's just incomparable! (aka, be thankful, Atlantanites!) This place is fantastic because even though it's breakfast, it's basically a really awesome cheap brunch spot for the weekends (also good for those night cravings too). I get basically the same "main dish" every time, with a different "side dish" depending on my mood. But basically it's like this: Required: Salted Soy Milk Broth (comes piping hot with loads of green scallions and chinese style croutons (??) and shredded dried pork) Choose One: Scallion Pancake, Scallion Pancake with Egg, Tea Eggs That's usually my choice for breakfast. Not too adventurous, but mostly because anything else would be too much! I get this combination for less than 7-8 dollars! It's consistent, it's delicious, it's affordable, and I love this place! They used to be Ocean Garden over in the Chinatown food court, and I really missed those days because they had the absolute best salt and pepper chicken. I don't think they have them here at Ping's place, but I never really looked for it to be honest! If I had to choose for good breakfast, this place rules over Chef Liu's over on Buford, but honestly, both are amazing. (this one slightly better ;P)

Super solid spot for Chinese breakfast. Their Chinese cruller (youtiao) are freshly fried and delicious. They also have a good rendition of salty soft tofu (which is actually pretty hard to find). The rice roll (fantuan) with purple rice was also pretty legit, nicely packed with pork floss, fried cruller and pickled greens. Sometimes in other subpar versions the rice can end up too dry but rice in the version here was perfect. The only let down was their kaofu (had this pungent flavor I think was from the bamboo?) but I guess I should have known not to get a Shanghainese dish from a Chinese breakfast / Taiwanese spot. Stick to the breakfast (and Taiwanese?) items and I think you'll be a happy camper.

We came here for brunch. Highly recommend 油条，烧饼果子, 豆浆, 牛肉卷饼. We didn't order beef noodle, but friends said they really like the beef noodle here as well, so that's what we are going to try next time.

Ping's Place (大华小吃) is located inside of Great Wall supermarket in Duluth, just around the corner from the large Duluth Sweet Hut Branch. Plenty of parking, although weekends and evenings are very busy, you'll find yourself walking a bit further if you come during these times. This small, unassuming food stall inside of the supermarket puts out some of my favorite Taiwanese/Chinese food in Atlanta. It's great for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and takeout and definitely worth the trip out to Duluth for some tasty, cheap, authentic food. My top 3 picks for breakfast are the Chinese cruller (油条) and soy milk (豆浆), the purple rice roll (紫色糯米团), and the chives & pork fried dumpling/potstickers (韭菜锅贴). The Chinese cruller is huge and should always be ordered with soy milk. The soy milk is definitely quality and can be ordered sweet or salty. Both flavors of soy milk are very good, so order whichever sounds best to you! The purple rice roll comes filled with a deep fried Chinese cruller and can be ordered sweet or savory. They put sugar inside of the sweet one and pork sung inside of the savory one. Both are great, although I tend to prefer the sweet one. It's a great on the go breakfast that is very cheap! My other breakfast choice is the chives & pork fried dumpling. You get about 12-14 in one order and the sauce that it comes with is great. It's like a mix of vinegar and soy sauce that goes really well with the dumplings. I have not had the other flavors of fried dumplings, but I am confident that they would be very good! My top 3 picks for lunch are the fried chicken nugget bento (咸酥鸡饭), the fried chicken nugget noodles with clear, chewy noodles (咸酥鸡面，细粉), and the fried pork noodle (猪肉炒面). The fried chicken nugget meal is an awesome deal that usually lasts me two meals. It comes with fried chicken nuggets, rice, braised beef (卤肉), tofu, tomato, fried egg, pickled veggies, and bok choy. The fried chicken nuggets are leagues beyond typical freezer aisle nuggets. They are super crispy, juicy, and perfectly seasoned with a mix of salt and pepper. There is a reason that these nuggets appear in two of my top lunch picks, and that is because they are a MUST GET. The fried chicken nugget noodles come with fried chicken nuggets on one plate and a bowl of clear soup with chewy clear noodles, bok choy, and cilantro. The crispy, very flavorful chicken nuggets go very well with the relatively bland soup. Finally, if you want to try something that isn't chicken nugget-centric, I recommend trying the fried pork noodle. It is a fried vermicelli noodle dish with pork, egg, and pickled veggies. A great, very filling dish that can definitely last two meals. One of the biggest things that really makes me love this place is that every time I order here, the service is great, the food is always high quality and also very consistently the same dish. The loud food court setting may be a put off for some, but for me it is a great casual dining/take out experience. Definitely worth the trip for consistently great, cheap, and authentic Chinese/Taiwanese food.

Food: 4stars, service: 4 stars, speed: 5 stars, ambience: 2 stars: Food: I ordered a curry beef noodle soup out of curiosity, but it was quite amazing and delicious. This was more like Thai red curry and coconut based soup and, and it had 3-5 huge chunk of slow-cooked stewed beef in it. Omg, I loved it very much. The soup was so tasty and satisfying. The noodle was a bit over cooked though. But I Would like to explore more dishes again. Service: it's built into a super market food court, so there's not much you can expect. But their ordering system is very organized. Speed: But the noodle soup came out in a lightening fast timing. You can spend 30 minutes from the order to the end of eating, and get out of the place. Ambience: it's in a food court, so the place can be dirty, super crowded and so on. I will definitely go back and try other stuff!

The signs were in Chinese but they had English translations, too. Patrons order food, get a number. The servers called out my number in English. Food came relatively quickly and I scooped it up and found a table. They have plastic ware at the front counter. Napkin dispensers were at the tables themselves. For $6 and some change, cash only, no tax, I got a fresh and filling meal. I ordered the pork chop bento. The pork was lightly fried and not greasy. I didn't expect to get something fried so I scavenged for the meat inside. It came with rice and assorted vegetables. It was more than enough. Although it was very busy, there are plenty of seats in the food court. There are plenty of parking spots, too.

Not bad for a quick taiwainese breakfast meal. Got a beef wrap and a donut with soy milk. Good to eat on the go

Picked up food a couple of times...tried the pork chop rice, beef noodle soup, green onion pancake, pogo chicken...everything I've had was pretty good. I really like the bentos - you pick the protein and it comes with a couple of sides (usually a spicy tofu and a vegetable and a tea egg). Portions are generous and everything is reasonably priced. It can be a bit slow though, especially on the weekends. Overall, I really love the food here and highly recommend it. It is located in the food court of Great Wall supermarket but the quality of food at Ping's is better than a number of the "restaurants" I've been to here.

I don't think I've ever went to a Taiwanese restaurant so I wanted to try Ping's Place after reading positive reviews. In general, the prices were very affordable (they accept only cash). I tried the cruller with soy milk for the first time. It's similar to a churro without the sugar sprinkled on it. Not bad, not great..a little bland. We also had Wonton in chili sauce and fried rice with Taiwanese chicken. These dishes were a little more tasty but still seemed bland to me. I'm not sure if they were close to authentic Taiwanese food...but I think I'd prefer to eat at Hometaste or Ming's BBQ regardless. It seems like most of the customers speak Chinese which is why the lady at the counter called out the orders in Chinese. Since I don't speak Chinese, I kept looking over to see if it was our turn to pick up our dishes. It would be much more convenient if they called out numbers. I didn't quite understand the hype about this place. Perhaps, I chose the wrong dishes.

I miss asian breakfasts! And even though I have to drive two hours, this place is authentic, delicious, and great prices! So worth the drive!

Alright, to start, this is an unprepossessing place. Don't feel like you need to remotely dress up - it's a little food stall off to the side of the Great Wall (GW) supermarket and seating is shared between the 5 stalls. Come as you are. I chose Ping's due to their menu and the featured items; the menu is a little tough to parse if you don't read Chinese, but rest assured there is some excellent food here. I got the beef noodle soup with the knife shaved noodles and it was quite delicious - noodles had a nice texture and the beef was well cooked, not too tough and still had flavor. I also ordered a side dish I love - "steamed gluten" is an unappealing name but I remember it as the salty sweet sponge-like starter of my childhood and it lived up to the memory! I'm excited to come back and try the taiwanese breakfast items, I've never found the rice + chinese doughnut combo in the US but I crave it on the regular!

it can be overwhelming deciding where to eat in the food court of Great Wall Supermarket -- esp. during peak lunch time, everyone around you is speaking Chinese and all the menu boards are mostly in Chinese too. So I judge by who has the longest lines or what looks good. Last time I went to Best BBQ and I was pretty happy -- today I noticed a lot of people eating what looked like Beef Noodle Soup, incl. a mother with two small children -- all of them eating this same soup. I asked her what it was -- she said what sounded like "hen sliced soup." It looked like beef not "hen" and I asked her again "is that beef noodle soup?". She said again "hen sliced soup". I figure (wrongly it turns out) she was telling me the Chinese name for Beef Noodle Soup so next I asked where she got it -- she told me the Taiwanese place and pointed to the 2nd food stall. She sold me when she said they get this all the time when they come here. So I went to "Ping's Place" and asked for the "hen sliced soup" in broken English so that it sounded like what I had heard earlier. The owner/cashier knew what I was talking about :) But just to be sure, I asked for the most popular soup -- she said "Original Beef Noodle Soup with hand-sliced noodles." i chuckled to myself :) The beef noodle soup is $6.50 -- and $1 more for hand-sliced noodles on the weekends & holidays. The broth was very good - tasted like pho broth. Beef slices were thick and very tender. Soup also had bok choy and chopped onions. The "lost in translation" noodles were found at the bottom of the bowl ... and clearly hand-sliced. Roughly cut, uneven and thick. I didn't care for them at all -- I felt like I was eating cooked dough. Next time I'd try one of the other noodle options. Good soup for cold weather though. But reading the reviews afterwards, I should've listened to Michael L and gotten the Pogo Chicken instead. CASH ONLY.

Convenient location. Inside of Chinese market. Food is good and decent. I order chili dumplings and soy milk, it's good.
