    Wontons in chili oil
    Vivian L.

    My go-to place for Taiwanese beef noodle soup. It hits every time. The beef is always soo tender, and lots of big chunks. They don't skimp out, and reasonably priced. The consistency of the noodles is always perfect too. The wontons in chili oil were a bit bland though. But also not skimped, and reasonably priced.

    This is a small little food stall inside the Great Wall Chinese supermarket. They have a bunch of popular, traditional Chinese breakfast foods like youtiao (fried dough), scallion pancake, tofu pudding, hot soy milk, etc. I wanted to order everything on the menu but had to restrain myself cause we didn't want to be in a food coma for the rest of the day lol. So I got sweet hot soy milk along with youtiao, savory tofu pudding, and beef pancake. My bf got pork congee from another food stall. The youtiao wasn't as fluffy as I hoped but still good, especially after soaking in the soy milk. Ah reminds me of my childhood. *happy tears* The tofu pudding aka Dou Fu Nao was my favorite! It's still wasn't the same as the ones I had growing up in China but the flavor came very close. I wish they threw in some pickled veggies lol. My bf loved the congee but it's such a pain to order from the other food stall. Meanly because the lady at the register had such a thick canto accent that my poor mandarin level had a hard time understanding what she was saying. And she got impatient when I asked to repeat stuff lol. Typical service you'd expect from a food stall I guess. But if you want some authentic Chinese food definitely check this place out! They also have photos of every dish they server so it'll help you see what every dish is like before you order.

    The absolutely giant shao bing you tiao and soy milk. The perfect Taiwanese breakfast :)

    I absolutely love Ping's Place! It warms my heart to see Taiwanese food start to get more recognition. I especially love this place because they serve very traditional Taiwanese breakfast items that you are hard pressed to find in other places. The warm soy milk is just so silky smooth with just the right amount of sweetness. The egg pancake has that slightly crispy edge combined with the slightly chewy pancake and soft egg that coats the top of it. Dip it in some chili oil and it is delicious. Finally, the scallion pancake is just so wonderfully crispy and flaky. It is also a good size and makes sharing with 2 or 3 other people really easy. This is a go to of mine for Taiwanese breakfast. If you want a similar experience, be sure to check this place out! :)

    Cruller, savory soy milk, sweet soy milk, fan tuan

    Just moved to Athens GA and was so excited to find this place! We had all the staple breakfast foods and they were yummy! Will be back soon to try the beef noodle soup and other lunch items.

    Fried cruellers and sweet tofu bits
    Karen Z.

    Inside, Great Wall, this is my most visited food stall. They have the best, nostalgic, Chinese breakfast of fried crullers, soy milk, and sweet soy bits (豆腐花). Of course, service is okay (even if you speak Chinese), but I don't mind that at all, as long as I get the delicious food!! I showed my partner this combination, of dipping fried crullers into sweet soy milk, and she's hooked!

    Pork soup dumplings

    It is one of the food shops inside a chinese grocery market. My friends and I wanted to eat something for breakfast and decided to buy from here. Food is decent and fair price

    Salt pepper chicken bento
    Michelle L.

    Pandemic-era review: STILL DELICIOUS! Salt and pepper chicken bento, chicken fried rice were super yummy, and I was so happy to hear that they have douhua (listed as tofu soup on the menu): if you get the sweet version, as I did, it is a delightful dessert with a lightly sweet and gingery soup and melt-in-your-mouth soft tofu. 18 bucks all told, for two entrees and one treat! Plexiglass barrier between customers and the staff is up, there are stickers on the floor to remind customers to distance and all staff had masks on. Already thinking about the next time I can come back!

    Pork and rice
    Steven D.

    $7 for a fried pork cutlet with rice, veggies, and egg. The friend recommend the pork chop rice platter. The large portion was pretty filling. It consists of a plate of rice topped with a nice portion of crispy pork chop. There's a hard-boiled brown egg, bok choy, bean sprouts, tofu, and other various veggies. Nothing about the food really stood out except for the price. The quality/price ratio was ok. The quantity/price ratio was excellent. There's free water at the front. They charge extra if you use cards. Would I come here again? Sure. I like food stalls at Asian grocery stores because it's convenient and I don't have to wait for servers.

    Taiwanese Pork Chop Bento
    Will C.

    A neat haven for lovers of Taiwanese cuisine. Most of the staples are here: beef noodle soup, bentos, breakfast items. And it's located in the Great Wall food court, which is convenient-ish though I'd wish the market made it easier to move between the market and the food court if one has a cart. Got two bentos, an egg scallion pancake, and a fried crueller/toasted bing combo. The food was pretty good, no complaints there. With the bentos, I particularly liked how all the necessary elements of a Taiwanese bento were there--pickled vegetables, minced pork (and gravy) over rice, the tea egg, greens--as well as the inclusion of tomato-egg-tofu on the side. It's a lot of food for a good price. I was too full to eat much of the other items, but the bite or two I had of each suggested they all checked out. I really only have two critiques. The first is that I wish the pork chop was bone-in, as is the norm in Taiwanese take-out shops. That way, the chop is a bit thicker and meaty, and the bone lents more flavor to the chop. In contrast, the thin, boneless one Ping's uses feels like it came out of the freezer and not particularly meaty/. It's rather reminiscent of pork katsu that you get in Hawaiian plate lunches, though credit to Ping's for getting the breading and seasoning down. The other critique is the 3% credit card surcharge, which is applied regardless of the subtotal. Other stalls in the GW food court have credit card surcharges as well, but all of them waive it if you spend a $5 or $10 minimums; Ping's is the only one that applies it universally. When I asked the woman behind the counter why that was the case, her response was too complicated for my lousy Chinese. But I think she said that their POS software applied it automatically, which I'm skeptical and/or think they should change. Honestly, I'd be fine if they just added 25 cents to each menu item because it's far more annoying than feeling like you're getting nickel-and-dimed. Anyway, dumb credit card surcharges aside, the food is good, affordable, and in generous portions. I'll visit again, and will undoubtedly complain about the surcharge again as well.

    The boss lady that loves to give us attitude.

It's slightly pricier and smaller than say quickly but the flavor, spice, and crispness beats quickly. The seasoning is all over the chicken not just the top. Service was friendly and prompt.

I never really have any complaints about the food or the drinks. This time, I got the wintermelon milk tea (less sugar & less ice) with tapioca pearls, and even though I don't normally get the pearls, Cuckoo's are pretty solid! They're chewy and slightly sweet, which is perfect. Today, I got the fries (spicy), and they were savory and salty with a bit of spice to them. In my opinion, they could've cooked them a JUST A LITTLE BIT longer because it somewhat has that very, very slight undercooked potato texture fries can have, but it won't be very noticeable to someone who isn't psychotic like me about fries. I've been to this location a couple of times, and the workers working there have always been really sweet to me. I have never had issues with bad service or anything like that. Another nit-picky complaint I do have is that if you come with a group to study, the stone tables are not for you if you are short. I love that there is plenty of seating with outlets, but studying with a group of friends at the booths does hurt my arms as they are set up a bit too high and a bit too far for my arms to rest comfortably. They do have high chairs to sit on, but I believe they're good if you're there by yourself.

I really enjoyed it! Even my boyfriend, who doesn't like tea-forward milk teas, liked it too. I'll definitely be bringing him along next time. The aesthetic of the shop is also gorgeous. I loved all the little details--from the baristas' outfits to the tea bar setup and wall decorations. Everything felt thoughtfully designed and very picturesque. I'll definitely be coming back for another Bubble Milk Tea, and next time I want to try something from the Grape Series since I love Asian grape flavors. Looking forward to it!

Once you enter the buffet, there's a drink station with iced tea, hot ginger tea, and water. The ginger tea was especially fragrant and made for a great palate cleanser. I highly recommend the scallion chicken, green beans, century egg porridge, and stir-fried celery. These were all dishes that reminded me of what my Chinese friends' moms would make at home--very comforting, flavorful, and well-seasoned. I personally don't like overly salty Asian food, so the seasoning was perfect for me. Everything tasted very authentic and homemade. Don't expect a huge selection like you would find at a typical Chinese buffet. There were around 20-30 different dishes, ranging from comfort foods and shumai and dimsum to desserts. I actually liked the smaller selection because everything felt more intentional and authentic rather than like a massive spread. It also seems like they change the menu fairly often, so don't expect to see the exact same dishes every time you visit. I actually think that's a pleasant surprise and gives you a reason to come back and try something different. They also host a lot of events, so you may see activities happening on the other side of the buffet area. I thought that added to the atmosphere and made the place feel very welcoming. One tip: if your party is larger than four people, definitely call ahead so they can arrange seating for you!
