THE FOOD ---------------- + Roast Pork Belly and Char Siu over Rice + Vegetables - Straight up LEGITTTTTT Chinese BBQ roast meats! Pork Belly was super duper crispy, fatty and fresh. Char Siu was shockingly moist, tender and super fresh too with some pieces being pretty fatty in the middle. To boot, all of the pork belly and char siu were perfectly, evenly cut. White rice was perfectly cooked and vegetables were typical of a Chinese BBQ roast meats rice box. ANDDD, the rice box came with a small container of ginger scallion sauce too! + Menu of rice boxes also consists of roast chicken wings, chicken leg, BBQ ribs and roast duck as proteins to choose. + As of October 2026, 1 protein rice boxes are $8.99, 2 proteins is $12.99 and 3 proteins are $15.99 - which are VERRRRRY reasonable prices, especially in the FiDi, for the portions. ALSO, there was a $5.99 grand opening special for a Char Siu over Rice, which is unheard of these days and an absolute steal for lunch! THE SERVICE ------------------- + Waited a few minutes after ordering in person, but very organized as they called out order numbers when they were ready. + They also offer online ordering via their website. THE SURROUNDINGS ------------------------------- = Located on the 2nd floor of a building a few blocks away from South Street Seaport on Fulton Street. = Pretty much your prototypical hole in the wall restaurant with no seating at all. Reminded me of another excellent hole in the wall Chinese BBQ roast meats restaurant - the one and only legendary Wah Fung No. 1 in Chinatown. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = Busy, busy, busy during weekday lunch hours. Literally no room to stand inside when it got busy at 12:25ish. CONCLUSION -------------------- = Beyond ecstatic that a Chinese BBQ roast meats restaurant FINALLLLLY opened up in the FiDi! Chinese restaurants have come and gone in the area, but none offered Chinese BBQ roast meats like what they sell at legit, authentic restaurants in Chinatown. read more

Gave Sam Ping's a try with a takeout on a late Friday afternoon when it was relatively quiet. It's a little hidden - look for signs directing up the stairs from the street to the second floor. Had the Triple Threat - Cha Siu, Roast Duck and Pork Belly over rice and added a Fried Egg. Great flavor, the Cha Siu was a little leaner than I would have liked but otherwise very good overall. Nice addition to the FiDi area for a quick meal. read more

Sam Ping’s Chinese BBQ - Triple Threat · Cha Siu + Duck + Pork Belly and added Fried Egg - Cantonese Near Me - New York, New York

I stopped by here the other day for some charsiu/roast pork after hearing alot of good things about this place. The meat was super fatty, way more fat than meat. In addition, there wasn't any sauce, it was far more like the char siu that you get in wonton soup plus more fat vs the char siu you get at places like wah fung no.1. It was overall pretty dry. I was not impressed. The price: very good price, they give you char siu and rice for about $5.99. Overall: If you work in the immediate area, it may be a decent place for a very quick lunch, but otherwise i would not bother/go back. Wah fung no.1 and big wong have better char siu. read more

I heard about the $5.99 special!! It's the smallest size and right now it's the cha siu pork. The owner mentioned that this may rotate and they'll change up the meat for the $5.99 special, so people can try the different ones. I also got a platter that had roast duck and roast chicken. My favorite of the 3 meats surprisingly was the chicken! It was a dark meat and so good, and I chose the boneless option for the chicken, so it was easy to eat too! It also had a great marinade, which let the chicken skin have a nice kinda caramelized glaze to it. They provide a side of tiny sauces - soy, garlic scallion (for the chicken) and a chili sauce. The space is small; you can't dine-in, only takeout. It was a good option for lunch or a quick din! read more

Sam Ping’s Chinese BBQ - Cha Siu Over Rice 16oz (Grand Opening Special) 特价叉烧 - Cantonese Near Me - New York, New York

I was so excited to try this, hoping this would be my go to spot for roast pork. Unfortunately my meal was meh. I got the two items combo. The roast pork was extremely dry and the crispy pork was basically all fat. I felt like I got the short end of stick for the meats. The soy sauce was so watered down it couldn't save the dry roast pork. I have bought two other combos but from the looks of it I am already disappointed. One of the three combo box had rancid cabbage. It smelt really bad I had to chuck the whole thing. The roasted chicken was the best tasting out of all the diff meats. Roast duck was mostly bones, the chicken wing was okay. read more

It's literally hidden on the second floor on Fulton St. The roast pork has crispy skin and is amazing. I got a combo with 2 meat of char siu and roast pork with vegetables and rice. The grand Opening special is really cheap at 5.99 with only char siu over rice in a small container. The medium size is 8.99. The dumplings took forever at 6 for 5.99 and didn't have the crispy bottom. I'd probably not order the pan fried dumplings again since they also take a long time to cook. read more

This is legit traditional Chinese bbq meat. The Roast pig is probably my favorite of the meats. The char siu is g9od as well as the duck. read more

Small shop, no seating but great food for take out. Friendly attentive service. Order pickup ahead for less wait time. It's on the 2nd floor- stairs only - no elevator or accessibility ramp however I get the feeling the staff will have no problems running your order down to you, they were so sweet and were looking in the hallway for customers who'd ordered and strayed off while waiting for their number order to be called. Food is very fresh, good prices- value . What drew me in was the special- Rice and Cha Siu for 5.99 When I went in I did go for the medium size instead for 8.99 . It was a 10 minute wait for the char su to finish cooking. It was clearly indicated before I ordered (I appreciate that). I was in no hurry . They also gave samples of milk tea , it was really good. I got 3 orders of food for my family. Everything was thoroughly enjoyed . I liked the ginger garlic sauce on the side . The pork was very tender and delicious. I cant wait to try the other items on the menu. This is a wonderful spot for affordable hot lunch. Highly recommend. read more

New Chinese BBQ place that opened in FiDi! It is up a small flight of stairs. I had the Char Siu platter for the grand opening special, and it was a steal!! Very filling for $6 and tasty too. The rice was cooked to perfection, the pork had a nice sweet and smoky flavor, and it was paired with a delicious scallion ginger sauce. Everyone was very friendly too. Wishing Sam Ping's great success in the new spot! read more

Located In Fidi, Sams is great for those who don't want to trek into chinatown for roasted meats. The roast pork and roast pig are decent in taste and portion. The roast duck needs extra flavor but satisfies my craving for roast duck. For the location the price is typical for lunch and the portion is generous. I certainly couldn't finish my meal. read more

Saw on some social media reels of the hype for this restaurant. For me of course, it's about the food! So today I decided to walk downtown and try them out. Did the couple protein combo with Cha Siu and Crispy Pork Belly along with some Sheng Jian Bao pork buns. Paying for the double combo was so worth it. The Cha Siu pork was so tender and flavorful. The pork belly was amazing, perfectly crispy and delicious. Was served over white rice and steamed veggies which were also very flavorful. The pork buns were pan fried and very flavorful. Soft yet slight crisp. Nicely done. Staff were very friendly and helpful and their food knowledge was very impressive. It's only for take out, unfortunately not ADA accessible. You can order in person or online, cash or card. Food made to order so you may wait slightly. They say Fridays tend to be light but rest of the week there's a line out the door and down the steps so it can get very busy. That shows how good the food they serve is. Will come back another time, just gotta make sure it's on a Friday wink wink. read more

So excited to have a chinese BBQ meat place so close to home. I tried their grand opening special of BBQ pork over rice. Taste was pretty good but not the 16 oz as advertised. I actually put it on my kitchen scale since I was weighing something else and it came in at 14oz. Interested in trying their other meat offerings. read more

I came by because of the $5.99 char siu special they had for the grand opening. The staff was friendly and they were honest about how long the dim sum was sitting on the window counter. I wish there was a steam table to keep it fresh or have the food made to order. The food itself was good but I wish it came with a side of veggie like cabbage because traditionally it suppose to come with it. I guess they can give an option to add with no charge because I know some people don't want the veggie with the rice and meat. There's no seats inside so you take the food and head to the pier to eat it or the park nearby. Lastly, I'm sorry to disappoint the little kid who requested to give his dad's restaurant 5 stars. I might next time but for now it's a really solid 4 stars. read more

First time trying this place out and I'm already thinking what I'm going to order the 2nd time I come back, I haven't even finished this 1st meal yet. Haha. The price and the quality of the food here, considering the location, are unbeatable. This will definitely be ones of my favorite lunch spots during the my lunch break. Ordering online is recommended during lunch break rush hour, all other times are great for walk in. Don't forget to try their Hong Kong Milk tea ! read more

I ordered the grand opening special - bbq pork over rice. There were no vegetables in sight, even though there were some in the ad. Other than that oversight, it was tasty, filling and a good deal for $5.99. On the other hand the sheng Jien bao were terrible. They were prepackaged and room temperature. They weren't pan fried, just steamed yet still managed to be very oily. Worst of all was the quality of the meat. I only took two bites and got a mouthful of gristle/cartilage in both. It was off putting and I threw away the rest of the buns. The service is pretty quick, because nothing seems to be made to order. And it's counter service only, no where to sit inside (there's lots of outdoor seating nearby). read more

Stopped by Sam Ping's Chinese BBQ in the Financial District and was pleasantly surprised. Their $6 roast pork special is unheard of these days, especially in Manhattan. The roast pork was flavorful and generous for the price, and everything ordered was fresh and delicious. The milk tea was also excellent and paired perfectly with the meal. Great food, great value! read more

I tried this place twice and was disappointed both. First I tried the Char Siu. Extremely dry. I didn't even know you could prepare this dish so dry. Aren't you supposed to include sauce from the glaze on top? It tasted ok but the portion was super small on top of that. This wasn't a big deal since I expected the 6 dollar deal to be small. What led me to write my review was the duck I received today. Ten dollars and the food was mostly rice while I received a tiny chopped piece of duck which consisted of mostly BONES. No meat. It was also dry as all heck. No juices on top. I won't be coming back after this. If I had known that this place was featured on Tik Tok before I got here I would've stayed far away. Quality always goes downhill after that. I'll just take the time to walk to chinatown on my lunch break next time. read more

I only tried once! i had the lunch special which consisted of pork & rice. I didn't find it exceptionally satisfying but I am interested in tasting the chicken. I also think they should add more color to the food choices more red & greens read more

Stopped at Sam Ping's Chinese BBQ, for the 3rd time already. Obviously, the food is great, and the price is just as good. Today, they added potstickers, very flavorful. Also sampled the chicken, its also very good. They're generous with the rice portions, and the sauce! Highly recommend. read more
