Ping Pang Pong

Ping Pang Pong serves dim sum out on the Chinatown corridor, and MICHELIN naming it in 2026 caught the trade off guard.

Why go

Nicole Brisson cooks at Brezza and eats dim sum here: when she gravitates toward Asian food, she says, That could mean dim sum at Ping Pang Pong.1 In August 2026 MICHELIN returned to the city after seventeen years and named the room in its first American Southwest selection.3 Johnathan L. Wright, filing from the ceremony, puts it among the five rooms whose inclusion was at least somewhat surprising, to judge by comments made by attendees following the ceremony, which says the trade had not been talking about it beforehand.2

Order this / avoid

  • Order: dim sum, which is what Brisson comes for and the only thing anyone I have read names.1

Good to know

Verdict

could-visit — Nicole Brisson cooks at Brezza and names this room when she wants dim sum. MICHELIN put it in the first American Southwest selection in August 2026, and its inclusion surprised the people at the ceremony, which says the trade had not been talking about it. Go for the dim sum; nobody I have read names a single dish beyond that.
