Ping Pang Pong

"The age-old advice to “go where the locals go” is nothing if not sage when applied to Ping Pang Pong, the perpetually busy, off-Strip eatery inside the Gold Coast Hotel & Casino.  Co-founded and run by longtime Las Vegas restaurateur Kevin Wu, Ping Pang Pong is popular with Chinese locals and in-the-know visitors who pack the place daily for authentic dim sum, served until 3 p.m, hawked via the traditional carts — at affordable Chinatown prices.  A full menu of reasonably-priced and authentic seafood, noodle, duck, and rice dishes supplements the extensive dim sum array, which is all served by an efficient and friendly staff." - Janna Karel, David Yeskel

"Just west of the Strip at one of Las Vegas’s most beloved Chinese restaurants, classic dim sum fare like barbecue pork buns, shrimp cakes, and steamed pork ribs roam the dining room on pushcarts until 3 a.m. The dining room feels contemporary and fresh with dark walnut screens, a Chinese pergola, and silk lanterns with red tassels." - Janna Karel

"The Gold Coast’s Ping Pang Pong is the gold standard for dim sum by day and Cantonese dishes by night. More than 80 dim sum dishes — spanning mango lobster and scallop rolls to aromatic buns with southern Canton five-spice duck — wheel through the dining room steamed, fried, or grilled from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily. During dinner, smoked orange rib-eye steak cubes seared with peppercorn and toasted garlic and a Macanese crustacean clay pot with a ginger laksa curry broth make the menu until 3 a.m. A Chinese pergola, Chinese lanterns overhead, and a host stand made from a Chinese apothecary cabinet add to the ambiance. Expect a wait or make a reservation in advance." - Janna Karel

"You can’t leave Las Vegas without sampling some of the city’s exemplary Chinese food. Ping Pang Pong is the gold standard for dim sum with roving carts loaded with mango lobster scallop rolls, duck buns, Sui mai, and much more. In the evening, the menu switches over to high-end Chinese dishes including Macanese crustacean claypot with a ginger laksa curry broth, roast duck, Cantonese princess chicken, and more." - Janna Karel

"This bustling Chinese restaurant inside the Gold Coast Casinospecializes in dim sum; definitely sample the almond shrimp balls, and the steamed pastry pockets with barbecued pork filling are a treat you’ll remember forever. For dessert, the kitchen serves coconut-filled sweet buns that would stand up against some of Hong Kong'sbest. In addition to the traditional dim sum experience, Ping Pang Pong also offers a full complement of stand-alone dishes. Foodies from all over the world have flocked to the award-winning "P3" for years."
