History

Chef Andy Ricker and restaurateur Kurt Huffman opened the original Ping in 2009, in the space previously occupied by Hung Far Low in Old Town Chinatown.[1] The restaurant closed in 2012, following an economic downturn and Ricker's departure.[2]

Eight years later, in December 2020, Huffman reopened Ping alongside Mike Kessler, a chef who had worked in the original's kitchen, in southeast Portland's Hosford-Abernethy neighborhood.[2] Ping's second launch was even shorter-lived; by mid-2021 the restaurant declared a hiatus on its Instagram account, from which it did not return. Its last post was dated July 17, 2021.[3] By December 2021 its website was inaccessible.[4]
