Ping's Dumpling House - nice lady + boiled egg hehe - Dim Sum Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Disappointing dumplings! We came here for dinner and the experience was just very off, from the beginning. First off, we waited to be seated and the two employees just kept looking at us and didn't acknowledge our presence until we finally asked if it's self-seating since they weren't going to assist us. They then asked if it was just the two of us and pointed at the first table by the door. Unfortunately, service didn't get much better as the two servers seemed to be in a hurry when taking orders and literally kept yelling at people, either directing them to menu items, where to sit and confirming orders. Why so loud? But the food was horrible! We ordered the Pork and Chive Dumplings and the Pork Soup Dumplings. Although it didn't take long to get our food, it was all borderline, inedible. Pork Soup Dumplings didn't have any soup and the dough was very dried out, as the texture wasn't moist at all; and you'd think with the shell that it would be soft, but the very tip was hard. Much was the case for the Pork and Chive Dumplings. Those tasted a tad better with the chive flavor, but texture was dry and pork inside was very small. Plus, the dipping sauce and ginger to eat your dumplings with made them taste even worse! The taste was sooo bitter, as if the sauce had been really old, and smell was foul! Dumplings tasted better without the sauce, and that's not saying much. I will not be returning, as the food was a waste of money and service was abrupt and rude. With all the other dumpling spots in the International District, don't make Ping's an option. read more

We attended the dragon festival that was located in Chinatown back in July and there weren't a lot of food options, so the rest of our group decided to get something to eat from here. When we met up with them, they already ordered items for everyone to share. We ended up getting the chicken heart skewers, pork and chives pocket, and the crab meat xiao long bao. I wasn't interested in the skewers, but tried the xiao long bao and pocket. The xiao long baos were pretty flavorless, so it wasn't very enjoyable, but the pockets were actually pretty good. They were huge and had a nice crunchy texture. Service wasn't that great and the staff seemed annoyed that we didn't order more food LOL. read more

Ping's Dumpling House does not disappoint! I cannot stress how much I love their Pork & Chives Dumplings! The Pork & Chives Dumplings bad generous portions of meat and is especially good with the chili oil and garlic soy sauce mix! Also, I really enjoyed how the pork-chives ratio was just perfect. In addition, the Xiao Long Baos have a unique take, as they aren't filled with your traditional soup base. The Xiao Long Baos are extremely meaty and taste delicious with the the vinegar-ginger sauce. While the food is authentic and quite tasty, I must compliment on the service. The owner, Ping, is friendly, hospitable, and treats everyone as if they were family. Ping is a lovely person, and I hope to get to know her more in the future. Highly recommend :) read more

I stopped here hoping for Yelp expectations but unfortunately was let down. I ordered the shrimp soup dumplings, the lamb skewer, the pork and chive soup dumplings and the pork and Napa steamed dumplings. The lamb skewers were a total rip off. Five tiny 1/2 inch pieces of lamb that had little flavor for $6. Don't wait your time. The shrimp soup dumplings had more green than shrimp and the shrimp had no flavor. Also little to no soup. The pork and chive were also soupless. Very disappointed on the outcome of this whole order. read more

5 star experience for a no frills fast dining experience with great food. Use to come here when the restaurant side was small with only wood benches and chairs and it was combined with a grocery store. They have made significant updates since then with the grocery side being turned into more restaurant seating and the other side is now a bubble tea/smoothie counter. The new updates have made the seating more comfortable and the overall feel is a little more inviting. My favorite item are the chive and pork dumplings (not pockets). The mix of sharp chive flavor and pork is perfect. Way better than any chive option from din tai fung or dough zone. The chow mein is really flavorful, we usually opt for the veg. The pork xiao long bao is good, but not quite on the level of DTF or dough zone. However they are much cheaper making them good value. read more

I totally bombarded Mrs. Ping with a group of 13 people. It took us awhile to answer her simple questions "how many", "chopsticks or forks", "where would you like to sit"? We were horrible. But, she hustled. Her husband was cooking up our storm. She was at our table every couple mins as the food came up. None of us remembered what we ordered. The food was amazing. And the portions were perfect. After all the food was out, she came back and checked in and apologized for waits etc. I couldn't figure out the billing. I thought I had paid her twice. She had to sit and explain it to me over and over. The whole time she was patient and just kept saying it again and again until I understood. I definitely recommend. Maybe only 4 people max though. I felt like an a-hole when I realized it's more of a quick stop restaurant vs full service and seating. I encourage everyone to go. read more

OMG. I wish I could give absolutely ZERO stars. The place was horrible. First of all, the lady serving us was extremely rude. The customer service of all the employees was horrible. Second of all, they got the order wrong and did not seem to care. I told her exactly what I wanted and she argued with me. We were so confused as to what we actually ordered because she confused us. I ordered the pork pot stickers and the beef dumplings. I got two orders of pot stickers instead. The food was alright but definitely not the best I have ever had. When we went to pay, we told her it was with a sense of urgency and my coworker told the lady twice we had to leave. She shoved the check in our faces. Before we could even get the check, they were being rude and picking our plates up and cutting in front of us. It was horrible. The service is non existent in this place and I shall never return. Go at your own risk! read more

During my visit in Seattle, my friends took me to their China Town/International District for dinner and we ended up eating at Ping's Dumpling House. My friends have been here a couple times and said this place was decent. When we arrived on a Sunday night, the restaurant was pretty empty and only had one other party. It was a family of 4 that were finishing up their meal. They were talking to the owner about how good the food was and how they could tell the dumplings were made fresh, which I thought was a nice interaction between customer and owner at a mom and pop shop like this. We ended up ordering 2 plates of dumplings - pork napa cabbage and pork, shrimp, napa cabbage. The dumplings were pretty good although I found the skin of the dumpling to be on the softer side. Some people might like this but I personally like my dumpling skins to have more texture. We also ordered the xiaolongbao here since my friends have never tried them. I'm not too sure why but the skin of the XLB came out to be green, which was fine and didn't change the taste of it. The skin was actually pretty thin and it was very juicy inside. Definitely better than I expected! We also ended up ordering the potstickers (pan fried dumplings), which I thought was probably the highlight of this meal. The restaurant even took extra time to give us a bit of garnish/decoration (probably because we're the only ones there), which was a nice gesture. I thought the dumplings were more flavorful and enjoyed the crispy texture of the skin. Overall a decent mom and pop dumpling shop. I would check it out to support local business! read more

Delicious dumpling house in the International District of Seattle. This is a no frills type of place so if you're looking for something more trendy I would look elsewhere. The food is delicious (soup dumplings are a must!) and glad I stumbled upon here in the short amount of time I was in Seattle. read more

We were on on our way to the Dough Zone and they ended up having a long wait so we looked elsewhere and stumbled upon Pings. We were seated right away and were able to order directly from our phones pretty quickly! You place the order from your phone without having to go through the whole process of paying etc so the food went in quick and came out quick. The woman serving us was super friendly and attentive. Honestly, felt like we were in her kitchen at her house. We thought the food was great. We had a mix of soup dumplings, pot stickers and buns. Honestly, between the easy process, quick food and good service, it was a great experience! read more

My friend and I entered the restaurant without researching, assuming the place will be good while thinking "This is Chinatown!"... oh boy, were we so wrong for assuming. We ordered Soup Dumpling (more like soupless) that were bland and flavorless. We also got chive and pork steamed dumplings that were mostly chives and also flavorless. Even though we were starving, we just couldn't fill our stomachs with these dumplings on our trip... on a side note, we overheard another couple complaining about the food. We only tried the two dumplings... Maybe other dishes are better? I suggest you skip this place and just walk a couple steps down the street. There are more restaurants to choose from. read more

Walked in and was immediately greeted by the kindest owner ever! Got what she recommended: Chive and Pork Lu Bao, Pork Potsticker, and Pork Juicy Soup Dumpling! I am never turning away away- this was one of the best foods in Seattle so far. Completely underrated, so worth everything. Please go if you're in the area! I would love to continue supporting this kind business read more

Ping's Dumpling House - Dim Sum Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I always feel bad leaving a restaurant a bad review because I understand the work and time that goes into what they do. This is strictly about the food we had, the restaurant was a pleasant experience and they take care of their space. We got pork soup dumplings as well as pork dumplings. The soup dumplings didn't taste very good, they seemed microwaved rather than steamed. They were dry and the internals didn't taste like pork. The pork dumplings had good internal ingredients but the skin was too thick and seemed off. It was doughy like it wasn't cooked long enough. The dipping options for the dumplings was a red vinegar with different toppings inside. I would have preferred a soy sauce base that I can then add vinegar/spices to. read more

Ping's Dumpling House - Pork soup dumplings and pork dumpling. - Dim Sum Near Me - Seattle, Washington

We ordered three of the soup dumplings, with a focus on pork, choosing the pork, shrimp and pork, and crab and pork. Personally, I liked the shrimp and the crab soup dumplings better than the ones with just pork, but they were all surprisingly so delicious! I've been let down by the soup dumplings over at Din Tai Fung so I had low expectations but this place definitely exceeded all of them. The service wasn't the best, and they took away our water pitcher halfway through the meal and never replaced it, and I was really thirsty at the end of the meal but had no water. However, I can't even bring myself to dock a star for the service, as the food was so on point. Honestly, for a Chinese restaurant, you can't get any more authentic than service that pays very little attention to you, and seems to care less if you've had a good time. Lol Three platters honestly wasn't enough food for the three of us though, and I left still feeling a bit hungry. Would definitely recommend ordering a bit more than one basket of soup dumplings a person! read more

Ping's Dumpling House - Xiao Long Bao (pork, shrimp and pork, crab and pork) - Dim Sum Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I used to live near Ping's and would stop by frequently whenever I had a dumpling craving. However, I moved, and hadn't been in a couple of years until this past Saturday. While I always thought the product was good, Ping's has changed for the better! First off, it's renovated; the old grocery mart has been transformed into upgraded seating and the restaurant has a trendier vibe. Ping's has also diversified into doing boba. Additionally, whenever I used to go, Ping wasn't exactly warm, which didn't really deter me because as long as the food is good and service is timely, I'm a pretty happy camper. But this time around, Ping was very friendly. Like, not just not cold, but actually making a great effort to make us feel welcome. My partner and I were surprised at the transformation in customer service. Lastly, the food is still great, and even with the updated decor and expanded menu, the price point is very good too. Practically all the dishes were under $10. I mean $8 for 10 perfectly crisp potstickers--does it get any better than that? I believe the soup dumplings were also about $9, we weren't hungry enough to get them this time, but definitely will next. Ping's gives nearby Doughzone some great competition. In fact, Ping's now tops my list of best dumplings and cheap eats in Chinatown. With the delicious food, and upgrades to the restaurant and customer service, I'm definitely looking forward to going back! read more

Ping's Dumpling House - Beef & Onion Big Buns (BL), Pork Xiao Long Bao (TL), Shrimp Chow Mein (TR) & Lamb Pot Stickers (BR) - Dim Sum Near Me - Seattle, Washington

My boyfriend and I came here because another restaurant we wanted to get food at was closing, and our second option was also closing. It's a cute hole in the wall place that serves good food and an assortment of teas/bubble teas. We got vegetable buns, congee, and vegetable dumplings with chives, mushrooms, and tofu. The congee had tofu and black beans, and was much heartier than we expected. We expected a soupier version, but the one we got was like puréed rice soup. It was pretty good. The vegetable buns were soooo good, probably my favorite thing I had. The dough was super soft and a little sweet, and the vegetable filling was good. The reason why this gets 4 and not 5 is because the congee and dumplings had whole black pepper kernels in it, which were IMPOSSIBLE to chew through, and the woman serving us was super nice but in a rush to get us out of there, even though it was only me and my boyfriend and another group of 3 in the entire restaurant. It wasn't near closing time either. read more

The very best dumplings in Seattle. I usually get the pork and shrimp. I also recommend the big bun, green onion pancake, and pork pot stickers. Bring a large group of friends and order one of everything, seriouslI haven't found one thing that isn't so delicious. Don't expect overly giddy, American customer service but do expect quick service and a quintessential Chinese experience. They have remodeled. I love this quaint, family-owned, neighborhood, restaurant. The food is still fantastic. read more

My experience here was fantastic. Amazing food and the flavor and texture of the dumplings were great.

The worst Chinese restaurant in Seattle. The foods were terrible. Too salty and no umami. We ordered soup but they didn't bring it to our table even after we finished other foods. So, we asked them to bring the check (before soup arrived). We thought they forgot about our soup. The wait staff didn't bring our check. Instead, they made us to wait another 30 mins. Then, they brought soup, not a check!!! They charged soup along with other foods we ordered. Sigh.. Worst foods and service. I won't come back. read more

Ping's Dumpling House deserves a top rating because of the excellent customer service. We were visiting Seattle on 1-18-21 and wanted to sample some local Chinese food. We ordered a couple small items, but accidentally left without one. The employee (owner?) literally chased us down the sidewalk with our forgotten item, just to make sure we had what we paid for! She found us about a block away and gave us our food. Outstanding customer service! read more

I Love dumplings! This place is great! The fact that it doubles as a market definitely gives it some 'hole in the wall' credibility (in a good way). The place is tiny with a smattering of small wooden tables adjacent to the market. The owner is proud to feature foods from her native city of Qing dao in northeastern China. They now offer daily xiao long bao (shanghai style soup dumplings) which is a plus. I liked the lamb dumplings which is something you don't see very often in the states. Sadly, many of the beauties in my xiao long bao order ruptured during the steaming process. They were tasty anyways. The owner is very nice and always has a smile on her face. I like how she speaks to you in both mandarin and english! Prices are very reasonable (as they tend to be in the international district). There is so much more on the menu I need to try! read more

The best food I have EVER put in my mouth. I love it here! To me, this is the best restaurant in Seattle! Ping is so nice, she is always happy to see me & I always refer to her as my dumpling mom. I love her more than my real mom lol. The dumplings are handmade to order, I always get Pork Xiao Long Bao - they taste like a delicious meaty umami hug! I swear, every time, it's like a spiritual experience for me, I try to bring everyone I know into the Ping's Dumpling cult of dumpling worship. The pot stickers are really good too; I love the crunchy skirt on them, it's almost cheesey, but the Pork Xiao Long Bao are on another level of legendary. On the table, there is garlic soy sauce, ginger soy sauce, and chili oil to use at your discretion for each item. Whenever there is a rainy day or maybe I just feel a bit sad, I can count on Ping to make dumplings that will fill my heart and fix my soul, I know I will always leave full & happy because the dumplings are truly made with love. read more

Ping's Dumpling House - the most perfect soup dumpling in the history of the planet, about to be devoured - Dim Sum Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I went there on a casual Thursday for a fast lunch. It was nice! It is a bit weird to see the kitchen and how simple it is. But overall the food was good and the place was clean. I read a lot of reviews before going in and I see a lot of people complaining about their prices are higher and quality is not as good? Well, I was greeted by the lady with a big smile. She gave me tea immediately and my food came out within 10 minutes. Also the food was good! I ordered the pot stickers and it tastes like dumplings I have had in Shanghai. And all that for $8? I mean if you are looking for cheap dumplings, then don't expect the quality, or just don't be cheap and pay for what is reasonable! Produces are more expensive each year and you expect a restaurant to never raise their prices if they want to keep their quality in their food? Hmm, I'd pay for the quality not the quantity. I guess reputation is really important to this place. I saw reviews about how they are rude and not as nice, etc. However my experience was the opposite. I guess also because I was the only one in there... which is sad because their food is good and don't deserve those bad reviews about services and price change! I also over heard a guy came in to ask if they want to sell this place... like wow, they are in crisis that bad that realtor just came in to ask you to sell the place. She denied it nicely, but it was a sad moment when I am sitting right there and can hear everything... I know it is not the best ever place for dumplings, I sure had some better before (and I'm from Hong Kong so imagine how high the bar is when I rate my dumplings). But this is a good place for dumplings and I think their homemade dumplings are great! I love that it reminds me a bit of Shanghai too! I recommend people that are okay with higher prices but want quality more than care too much of the prices (and TBH we are still talking about $5-14 range, how is this "expensive" compare to some $$ sigh restaurant on yelp??? $15-30???). I will come back for dumplings for sure! read more

I paid $104 here. The chow-mein was super salty. The pork buns had no flavor. And I had to force myself to finish one. The pot stickers were super soggy. I was expecting more effort and love for the food. But I would put two $$ because it was overpriced for what they offer. Sorry I usually don't write bad reviews but this one deserves a bad review. read more

Honestly this place has really good dumplings highly recommend skipping din tai fung and dough zone because those places don't have flavor. Pings make the dumplings with all of the love sooo good.
