We stopped in to try a few items. We ordered the pork soup dumplings, pork and cabbage buns, green onion pancake and pork and chive pot stickers? The pot stickers were by far my favorite thing we got there, and I would return just to eat those again. The pancake was also delicious! We didn't care for the soup dumplings or the bun though. You can easily order your food using their QR code and it came pretty quickly. read more

Over the past few years this has become one of our fav spots in the International District in Seattle. Either we're on our way to a Sounders match or grabbing a bite after Wing Luke museums Chinese New Year ceremony we always find a table ready for us quickly with food arriving as fast as we can place the order on the restaurants app. Service is fast and focused on getting you your food. When you're ready to leave you can pay through the app and they are notified and you can ask for take out containers for any leftovers. I know we should explore the menu more but by the time we've ordered the green onion pancakes, the pot stickers, the soup dumplings, and finally (our favorite found in "cold dishes" Cucumber Silk) we have to call it because it's just too much food. Highly recommend this awesome small business for its quality and flavors! read more

Okay- this is perhaps my first review where the rating gets really docked because of service. The dumplings here are fantastic, but the auntie running the place is perpetually pissed. There is only one person (just her) running the place, and it's clear she's overworked. I feel bad for her, but it's also obvious she doesn't want to deal with customers. With that being said the food is phenomenal. Got the xiaolongbao, jiao zi (pan fried), steamed dumplings, and sheng jian bao (pan fried buns). Everything was delicious, especially with the ginger, garlic, and chili oil. Would recommend getting takeout!! read more

Great food. You know how sometimes you eat Chinese and feel tired or dehydrated or just out of sorts afterwards? This did not happen here. I got the pork chow mein and it was delish. Ate lunch twice on one order! Added hot chili oil of course. Everything is fresh, veggies were not too many and were very interesting, crunchy. Price was good for this area. Thank you Pings, I'll be coming back! Rock hard and party harder my fellow Yelpians. Leave a fat tip. Peace love and communism for all read more

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. read more

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. read more

I was the Only person in the restaurant and they over cooked everything, soup dumplings were overcooked to the point The bottoms were falling out, and there was dry on the inside, lamb skewer tasted like it was microwaved. The meat was so chewy, and the pancakes were overcooked. Absolutely fail on all dishes. Don't waste your money! read more

I'm not the type to leave a bad comment and I love supporting small businesses but the service and food here was horrible, we were met with attitude when asking for soy sauce and sugar for tea. The restaurant was 55 degrees And we moved tables closer to the heater and she gave us attitude by scoffing when she noticed we moved. our dumplings had a vinegar taste to them and the Bao we ordered was not cooked at all. The soup dumplings were disgusting mush. I really wanted to give a better rating but there was nothing I could physically eat. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Came in before a game at Lumen, was expecting great dumplings. Over $50 for 2 orders of overcooked dumplings, and chicken chow mein. Bottoms were falling off and the meat looked undercooked.

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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 read more

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. read more

Ping's Dumpling House - Green onion pancake, soup dumpling and steamed dumplings - Dim Sum Near Me - Seattle, Washington

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!!! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Ping's Dumpling House - two plates of food on a table - Dim Sum Near Me - Seattle, Washington

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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!
