Ping's Dumpling House

Had the chicken soup dumplings and red bean buns. The dumplings were incredible. I don't think I've ever eaten a meal so quickly. Will absolutely come back next time I'm in the area.

The food here is fine, as is the service. We felt taken care of and the food came out quickly but we weren’t super excited about the flavors. Everything seemed like it was made with care, but just lacked seasoning. The touchless ordering and paying was a nice and easy to use, but we left underwhelmed after having read a bunch of reviews before coming. We tried the scallion pancakes, pork soup dumplings, and the pork and scallion crispy dumplings, but none of it left us wanting more or planning when we could come back.

Ping is a legend. She has served yummy food under the Chinatown gate for years. Hers is a spot people will lament the loss of as Seattle buries it’s uniqueness with cookie cutter Instagram spots. The dumplings are phenomenal and Ping is a great hostess, always doting on return customers and offering more food than you can eat. She has outlasted many restaurants in Seattle for good reason: hers is a cut above, it’s a classic, old school Seattle Chinatown flavor. Bring your friends, share the love. Pro tip: get off the light rail at Chinatown before the Mariners game (or hawks or whatever). It’s great, especially for groups!
