- Asian fusion coming to Shirlington
Just in time for the Chinese New Year, Charlie and Christiana Chiang will open the doors Feb. 7 of their new restaurant, Charlie Chiangs Ping, in the bustling, redeveloping Shirlington neighborhood
The 90-seat restaurant will feature a fusion of American tastes and local ingredients with the exotic flavors of Asia. The new restaurant will also have an expansive, 20-seat bar including the sushi bar area, showcasing its fresh seafood.
The name Charlie Chiangs Ping is derived from the Chinese character Ping which means the best, of the highest standard and applies to food, clothing, attitude, a persons bearing or stature. We felt Ping best described what were doing with redefining the original Charlie Chiangs, bringing together the best of Asian and Western cuisine and marrying the two, said Christiana Chiang.
The new restaurant is designed by Division 1 Architects and features familiar, natural materials such as richly grained maple and red cedar planks, steel panels, and a glass facade.
Charlie Chiangs Ping is located in Shirlington at 4060 Campbell Avenue. For additional information or for reservations call (703) 671-4900.
