Pings is a large Asian bistro located just outside of the main downtown area at the start of Eat Street. They have a nice open decor and good food. The atmoshpere is pleasent and there are a lot of fish tanks to stare at if your date is boring. They sell beer and wine only, and this is more of a restaurant than a bar, so check it out for dinner, but then head up the street to New Dehli, Azia, or down to Brits for a more social bar scene. Try their specialty birds nest entree, it is excellent.

Though the decor is a bit of a flashback to the 80s , I still LOVE this place. Amazing lunch specials and the most polite staff. Youll be filled and satisfied with both the cost and portion size.

Ping's is what it is-- decent priced, tasty, "Americanized" Chinese food with flair. You can find all the dishes you are used to finding at Ping's, but with little touches that make it all unique. There aren't really drink specials except for the daily special, but drinks are VERY reasonably priced. This is a great place for after-work drinks if you want to find a place to bring a large group on a short notice--- the bar is usually not very busy and the servers and bartenders are attentive and eager to please.

Wonderful family owned restaurant. The owner is hilarious. They offer beer, wine, & liquor. Wonderful family sized portions. NOT over-priced. Try the peking duck for two! It's absolutely brilliant.

We've always enjoyed Ping's. Sure it's not 100% authentic, but the food is g=really good, the servers are funny, and the atmosphere brings us back to the early 90s. Always a tasty place to nosh after a show.
