I've heard nothing but raves about Pok Pok, but haven't had the chance to try it yet. After having Ping, Pok Pok's sister restaurant, I'm not sure I care. Ping is everything you should hope for in a restaurant: upbeat and upscale, with a sultry dining area, excellent service and absolutely delicious food. A couple of dishes stand out in my mind: a refreshing cucumber, sesame seed salad with a vinegar dressing, satay chicken kabobs, delicate pork buns, and for dessert, a delicious (if not deliciously named) Sawdust pudding, that had a consistency that was certainly lighter and fluffier than any pudding I've ever had. The only cons that spring to mind are finding parking in Chinatown and the sight of the bill when you're done.
Pros: Delicious food, good service, upbeat atmosphere
Cons: Parking, price
