About Kelley and Ping

The Kelley and Ping story began on a cobblestone street in Soho in 1993 when Brad Kelley opened an Asian Grocery and Noodle Shop, which quickly became one of the most enchanting destinations in N.Y.C. As shoppers joined Brad for lunch in the back of the store, it quickly transformed into an authentic Pan–Asian restaurant. The success of Kelley and Ping came from Brad’s passion for the markets of Asia and the foods that were served in them.
