This is by far the best Chinese restaurant in the Blacktown area.
To be frank I'm tired - and have been for a while of the "lace curtain" approach to Chinese Cuisine. Dirty, horrible 1970's Chinese is a thing of the past, and Chinese Restaurant operators should take a leaf from the "thai" restaurants appearing of late.
FORTUNATELY Mr Pings is NOT one of the above. It is a contemporary "family" style dining area that exudes class and quality.
The food is 50% Aussie-Chinese and 50% Chinese... there are menu options to suit all tastes.
Chinese tea was served as we were seated in the restaurant. We were the only "anglo's" in the place, always a good sign in my book - the hosts are great and speak English well.
Our meal consisted of a mixed Entree for three - which was 6 yummy dim sims, 6 spring rolls and 6 prawn cutlets. Awesome taste and awesome value.
The the kids picked beef and black bean and honey chicken - as I said - Aussie- chinese food. I would normally have BBQ pork with salty eggs, a more traditional Chinese meal.
Rice was served and fresh as.
Bill was 73.60 all up. Not so bad - we struggled to finish the meals..
The only negative thing in my mind is the $2 surcharge for both credit card and EFTPOS. I always think this is a manufactured charge, especially on Eftpos.But I still go back... !!
Don't know why this place is not flooded with patrons, except it is a little out of the way... read more
