Liú Xiāng Xiǎo Jù San Mateo Diàn Ping ‘s Bistro Together

Ping’s is a staple in the bay! Always excellent. Be ready to wait for a table. The ambiance isn’t the best- it’s crowded and very busy, but the food makes up for it! We get the yunnan beef and it’s always excellent.

If I wasn't meandering about this plaza, I would not have found this place tucked away in the alley. The lines were what drew my attention and it was PACKED inside. We came back on a Saturday at 6:30PM. Overall wait time for our party of 6 was 45 minutes. To pass the time you can place your order on an iPad in the waiting area. Our drinks came out promptly after sitting down. Food was spicy and super flavorful. Ask the server if you're unsure about the spicy level! Portions were small for the price. But I would come back if I was craving this cuisine and if I had a large group again to order a variety.

Ping's Bistro is a culinary revelation, where the artistry of Yunnan cuisine unfolds in a symphony of flavors. The noodle soup dances on the palate, a delicate balance of textures and umami, while the mushroom fried rice elevates simplicity to sophistication. Each bite tells a story of culinary mastery, and the flower cake is a sweet denouement that lingers like a whispered secret. Ping's Bistro is not just a restaurant; it's a sensory journey through the enchanting landscapes of Yunnan and Hunan, expertly curated on the plate.

Great taste, good portion and amazing service. Hope they keep it up.

Authentic and delicious! Almost all dishes are great and from Yunnan
