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.

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.

Ping's rocks! They don't stiff you on the meat in the dishes as almost every other place does. Plus, it's not grade D meat - quality chicken, beef, pork, etc.

Awful, overpriced, faux "chinese" food that apparently given the runs to more than one person (see mplshappyhour.com for hilarious testimonials). I truly despise Pings and pity those who think they're eating something to crow about.
