Guide Review - Charlie Chiangs PING Restaurant Review - Shirlington, Virginia
The menu features a nice variety of Asian-fusion cuisine highlighting a combination of American local ingredients with the flavors of Asia. Signature dishes include Pork Shoulder Braised in Red Wine, Five-Spiced Stewed Beef Short Ribs, Steamed Flounder Filets Rolled with Matchstick Vegetables Sweet-Soy Sesame Jumbo Shrimp Pearls, Flaming Steak Christiana, and Lamb of Two Seasons. Many of the dishes are unique combinations. I enjoyed the milder dishes, but the spicy one's were too strong for my taste. (and I'm not particularly meek in that area)
