text: I have to agree with Kates review though I will be more critical in minennIve heard the dim sum here is great however I am only going to comment on the dinner service as I have yet to try the dim sumnnThe first thing I noticed from the menu is that Chez Ping is noticeably much more expensive than other Chinese restaurant I have been to The prices of the dishes vary between but the portions are smaller if not the same comparing to other restaurants I am willing to pay a lot for good food but for a dish of stirfried vegetable with bean curd it better be the best vegetable I have ever had in my life The second thing I noticed is that they really do not have much dishes for a Chinese restaurantnnI do applaud the Mayo Chicken Shrimp it tasted very nice the proteins were moist and the shrimps were properly prepared The broccoli tasted slightly undercooked and was just bland and pretty much ignored However this was the only dish that gave me a positive feeling about this placennThe Steamed Tilapia had an earthy aftertaste and was way overcooked it was not even comparable to any steamed fish I have had before On my way out after dinner I noticed that their fishtanks were extremely dirty covered with green algae and other microbesnnOther dishes either tasted underseasoned andor overcooked nothing too impressive At the end we paid for dishes and a bowl of rice which is not worth at all given the service and the quality of the dishesnnWe waited in line for about minutes to get served by the waiters the long wait was not because the place was fully booked but because many tables were not cleaned after the diners have left Even after being seated the waiters ignored us for a good minutes before taking our orders I do not blame him he had a good attitude and it was a demanding task for TWO waiters to serve TWENTYTHREE tablesnnWe ended up waiting minutes for foodnnThe service was bad the food quality was below average and the place is overpriced This place is on par with places in Manhattans Chinatown The guy who gave a star ratings for this place must have been locked in a cage for the past years and this restaurant was the first thing he encountered after being releasednnAll kidding aside do not ever come to this place take the metro or drive to Chinatown trust me it is worth it
