Restaurant Pekin Johor Jaya — Restaurant in Johor

Looking for amazing food and some unexpected entertainment? Restaurant Pekin Johor Jaya delivers. The food will make you forget you’ve ever eaten, and the people-watching will leave you in stitches.

Take my friend Ben, for example. When the waiter handed him the specials, he looked at the menu like it was a secret code. “What’s a Peking duck?” he asked. “It’s a duck,” I replied. Simple enough, right?

Then there was the couple debating whether pineapple belongs on pizza. Their hand gestures flung dumplings into hot and sour soup—accidentally making the dish way more exciting than usual. But the highlight? A couple who ordered the extra spicy sauce. One bite, and the guy’s face turned the color of a tomato while his partner was gleefully asking for more. Meanwhile, he was downing water and pouring it on his lap, wondering if he’d made a terrible life choice.

And don’t get me started on the elderly couple serenading their tea like they were auditioning for The Voice. We didn’t even notice the time passing—just the magic of life’s unpredictable moments.

The food? Incredible—especially the roasted duck and tofu. But the real takeaway here? Don’t take life too seriously. Sometimes the best moments happen when you let go and just laugh at the chaos around you.

I first tried their Peking duck at the Sutera branch and was very impressed. However, my experience at this branch was a huge disappointment. The Peking duck meat was bland—the skin was crispy, but they wrapped large chunks of meat with very little skin inside the egg crepe, making the wrap dry and lacking texture, almost like chewing on rubber. The dipping sauce tasted like nothing more than sugar syrup.

The Dong Po pork had a good texture and was nicely braised, but the sauce and marinade had an overpowering woody, powdery taste, possibly from excessive dried orange peel, and lacked depth of flavor. The lobster was fresh and tasted good, but they only had baby lobsters, none over 500g. The Hong Kong kai lan looked more like a local variety, roughly chopped with little steaming. While the taste was decent, it didn’t meet expectations.

The worst dish was the hot and sour soup—it tasted as if it was made with Maggi chili sauce. I had to add extra pepper and vinegar just to make it palatable. Overall, this was a disappointing experience for a restaurant that once maintained high standards...

Upscale Chinese restaurant with decently good food.

Service is top. Wait staff were polite and attentive to our needs, spoken or not, promptly on hand to refill our tea. One staff member made the effort to ask about our after meal plans, just to make us feel welcome. Really appreciate the effort of establishing human connection here.

Food is authentic Chinese, southern Malaysia style. By that I meant that the dishes are predominantly salty as the base.

Peking duck was good. Skin is crispy and the meat retains the duck oils and are mild in flavour. I prefer the meat as is without the wrap. I find the wrap, bland and lacking the eggy taste and a tad thick.

Yang Zhou fried rice with crab meat and salted fish is fragrant, tasty and on the wetter side.

The spinach tofu is smooth yet retains the firmness of the bite.

The picked guava appetizer is appetising!

All in all, a pleasant experience in a chill ambience.

Will return to try the other dishes from their...
