Clean & Delicious. Sadly, it's taken me two months to write this review, so any details I might have liked to share may be forgotten.

I visited Ping's Garden on a weekday, just after lunch rush. The parking lot was full, but most of the visitors were leaving by the time I got there. I waited a while to be seen and seated, but not too long. My first impression was that it's a clean and open space.

I think I remember the water had a chlorinated flavor, which is not my favorite. I ordered a sweet n sour chicken dish with some fried rice. I was going to bring a sample back to my coworker, but it was so good that I ate the whole thing instead. It was swimming in sauce, though.

The portion size and quality was good, and the price was certainly fair. I paid $9, but I don't remember if that included my tip or not. The staff was friendly and present at appropriate times.

Overall, I think this is a good go-to restaurant for Chinese food. I'm new to the area, so I have yet to try other local restaurants for comparison, though. Since two months have passed, my thoughts are that Ping's Garden is a restaurant I would visit again, yet I haven't had the craving to do so (as one might expect if the food and experience was beyond amazing).

I am sharing (mobile phone) photos of the booth design and ceiling structure, plus the dish I ordered.

I was a little dubious.............. About Ping's Garden since it's right in Rev. Rooster's backyard and he's never reviewed it and the vote percentage lent a weak recommendation. But I'd never been there and the solitary review spoke well of it.

My Nephew, Scott, and I were in Albany for a gun show after attending a rally at the Capital in Salem and checked it out.

The restaurant is spacious and clean, if somewhat dated and was welcoming overall. Our hostess/server seated us right away with menus and water.

We both are Singapore Noodle junkies and were on it like a rainbow on a mayfly. We both ordered it spicy which was perfect for me but Scott dowsed his with healthy dose of Siracha Sauce. The Shrimp was plentiful and the portions were more than adequate. It was a good version of this dish and one I would not hesitate to order again.

It's hard to judge a place on the strength of one dish, but I'd say this one was above average, if not stellar. The place was fairly busy for two in the afternoon and many of the patrons were Asian.

Several other items, on the menu, looked interesting.

I shall return!

Great Eat. The food was fresh, hot, and really delicious. The customer service was great too. My server was on top of drinks, checking in with my table for anything we might need, and bringing us stuff for our food we would need before we even had to ask. This place is clean, cozy, and has an overall great environment. The Cha rsiu baus are my absolute favorite things there. I can seriously make a meal out of these - they are also great for heating as leftovers later.

Food at pings is consistently decent Americanized Chinese food. If you are looking for authentic you might look elsewhere but there are times i prefer America Chinese and many of my friends do as well so this is a good suggestion for that. Never had a bad experience and I’ve been going here for a long time now off and on

Amazing food, the staff is always very friendly and quick with your orders. I’ve even dined in and it was a lovely experience! I recommend the egg flower soup and pork fried rice!

Soo yummy! I've been going here all my life and it still taste the same as day 1. Best Chinese food I know of. Service was awesome, so friendly. I will say I got the chicken chow mein and it had 2 little pieces of chicken. I would have called it celery chow mein. Wouldn't recommend it. It use to be so good. The pork fried rice thou is hands down the best.
