Yum, yum . . . wow!

The food is outstanding; service is great and the crowd is cool . . . the only problem with PingPong is that the space is not bigger to accomodate the masses. I always look forward to eating here when I visit Chicago -- even if I have to wait.

Great food, cool atmosphere, bring your friends

I keep coming back for the food. My fave is PingPong Chicken- chicken w/walnuts (Peking Chicken at some places). Also crab rangoon to die for. I've loved every dish I've tried. Atmosphere- sometimes it gets so loud at prime time (8:30-10) that you have to shout across the table- but it's better in the summer with the doors open. I think you get very good value too for Boystown. And the staff is always attentive, not intrusive.

Come play

Wish this place could go back in time. When they first open the food was amazing, now that they are trying to be more of a hip place the food kind of sucks, the prices went up and the portions got smaller. Good looking people go here.

Minimalism Decor and Cute Guys

Always good looking people enjoying delicious dishes. The ambiance is quite alive and loud which makes this place energetic and fun. One of the few places open until midnight. Love it!
