Ping’s Cafe

Zero stars! Lived in FH for 6 years and have searched for good Chinese. THIS AIN’T IT! Thought I couldn’t find worse than Chens Garden, I was wrong. Ordered Kung Pow Chicken and Moo Goo Gai Ping. I’ve never tasted Kung Pow like this before, and hope I never do again. Nothing but vinegar. Like drinking it straight from the bottle. Inedible. My daughter’s Moo Goo was rubbery. And, to make things just hysterically bad, the fortune cookies were not fortunes, but instead were filled with advertisements. Lol. Who buys fortune cookies with no fortunes??? I paid $ 25 for white rice, it was the only thing edible. Definitely wasn’t worth $ 25. Tried to call and complain, they weren’t receptive. Unfortunately, my only recourse is to deny the charge.
SKIP IT!

Food was very good. Egg drop soup is excellent. Had the Mongolian Beef. Kids had the orange chicken. Service was quick and very friendly. Would definitely recommend.

This is without a doubt the worst Chinese restaurant I’ve been to my entire life.
As soon as we walked in the place reeked of old frying oil smell. I knew it was gonna be bad after that smell invaded my nose.
We order chicken curry wings as an appetizer which was horrible. Frozen wings dumped in an old frying oil then mixed with an awful tasting curry sauce! And the potato steak fries that was mixed with the wings and the sauce was frozen and cold.
We also ordered sweet and sour chicken entrée and crispy duck entrée. Both are horrible, the sweet and sour chicken was below average at best and the crispy duck was definitely not fresh and I’m pretty sure it was reheated multiple times.
We didn’t eat the white rice as it had a very bad smell besides being very dry.
It was a waste of time and money.
I strongly advise against going to this place.

Absolutely delicious! Friendly fun staff!
Visiting from out of town and wish we had a place like this back home. Glad we stopped!

Despite the fact that every Chinese restaurant in Fountain Hills is already overpriced, how can any venue simultaneously provide sub par food, markup the price, AND stay in business? Awful portions, awful prices, occasionally tasty food.

If I could give 100 stars, I would! These guys are great! Warm and friendly the food outstanding!

Decided to try Ping’s again and I’m so happy we did! The food is back to what we have always loved from them-​mouthwatering, flavorful, crispy and everything the epitome of how it should be. The portions again were correct with plentiful beef accented by correct amount of vegetables. We always have gotten carry-​out so I can’t speak for any server or timing. I’m thrilled to put Ping’s back on our regular rotation!

I have been to Ping’s in the past and the food was fine. I stopped in last night for some to go food for my family. The food was terrible. we had teriyaki chicken, sweet-​and-​sour chicken and chicken lo mein. Nothing was good. The meet had a bad taste to it and was not tender. I do not suggest this place.

First visit, but there will be many more. Kung pao chicken was excellent, the right mix if perfectly prepared chicken, vegetables and scrumptious sauce. My wife asked advice for best veggie meal and was very pleased with suggestion

Good food at a great price. My lunch came with soup, spring roll, and cream puff for around $ 6. I reccomend the house chicken with brown rice.

Not the best Chinese food I’ve ever had but certainly good quality and by far the best in Fountain Hills. My wife and I order from here a couple times a month using coupons in our daily flyer mail, good food good quality, what else can you say.

Not wanting to complain but beware. Our soup was brought to the table lukewarm.
Our orders were to have white or steamed rice with our meal it came instead with brown rice.
When they brought the fried noodles and the sweet-​and-​sour sauce, the sauce was Watered down. Certainly much runnier then any sauce I’ve had any other Chinese restaurant.
My wife loves Chinese food and steamed rice and she found this place to be horrible.

Terrible, over priced for what u get which is what i believe msg filled crapy Chinese. ive given them 3 chances with 3 dif dishes for take out. the vibe i get is a retired couple barley hanging on to the place that have lost their passion for food.

I am happy to have found Ping’s Café, it’s right in my hood. Being vegetarian, there are a few dishes I usually order that are delicious… They have generous portions which is the amount any real Chinese restaurant should serve, and the owners are really sweet and accommodating. I can’t find much tofu in Founatian Hills, but thank goodness they do!

I came here for lunch a few months back when I worked up in Fountain Hills. There was only one person working the whole restaurant during what I think they would consider a lunch rush. The restaurant is on the small side, but the follow up fell below expectations. My friend and I found the food to be okay, not the best quality, but what else would you expect with a cheap Chinese lunch.

Huge portions, very laid back atmosphere. The best fried rice & tofu and veggies in garlic sauce we have tasted in the valley! Owners are great — he is the chef and she takes care of the front.

Was very pleased to find they served Chow Mein the old fashion way, white sauce with bean sprouts and vegetables.. My wife had the chicken and brocolli, chicken was tender and brocolli cooked perfectly. Great place for a quick take out that serves fresh ingredients

Wow! This place has definitely come a long way! When they first opened several years ago, this place was the type of restaurant where you would walk up to the counter, order your food and then they’d bring it out. It has since changed to a sit down place with waiter service.
Having not eaten here in several years, I decided to give them another try. I was pleasantly surprised! I ordered the Pad Thai which was delicious and the portion was extremely generous. The pad thai comes with tofu only, which is right up my alley as I’m a vegetarian.
On another occasion I had the kung pao tofu, which was also very flavorful.
When I ate here several years ago it was extremely greasy and bland. It has since changed to be a great restaurant that has earned my business back!

Try the Hot and Sour soup (especially if you’re stuffed up from allergies) — lots of egg and tofu. Love their spices.
Also had chicken chow mien. Tasty, but noodles were a tad overdone.
They may consider redecorating their dining area. Very plain, hole-​in-​the-​wall and that may scare guests away.

Well prepared, Good size servings. wide varity of dishes, well worth the money. Good menu for non meat eaters. Try the frier toe foo.
