Peking Garden Chinese Restaurant — Restaurant in Lakewood

The food here was pretty horrible. The servers are friendly enough, but the food was highly disappointing. My girlfriend and I don't like to waste food but we couldn't even try to get through some of the dishes because they were so bad.

The gyoza had a decent texture but something about the taste was off, the black bean noodles lacked flavour (and they completely skimped on the potatoes; literally one morsel in there) and the only thing that tasted halfway decent was the jjampong (ordered the half and half). The tangsuyuk (sweet and sour pork) sauce wasn't horrible but the meat was very questionable. As another review here mentioned, the pieces were tiny, and it tasted completely off--it definitely tasted like it was cooked in old oil and I've never had tangsuyuk this horrible in my life; absolutely not what it is supposed to look or taste like! We couldn't even get through more than a bite each of the Szechuan beef and pork chow mein combo because it was oddly very greasy/oily and the chow mein noodles were made with a different, thicker noodle that is not the standard chow mein; looked like the same noodles as the jjampong. The Szechuan beef had very little beef (???) and was mostly vegetables.

Another weird thing is that half of the dishes came out hot while the other half were lukewarm, which almost suggests that they were not made fresh; I thought it was strange that they came out so fast.

Overall, the service was alright but the food was terrible and overpriced for how horrible it tastes. In other words, I wasted my money tonight. Our taste buds and digestive systems have been thoroughly violated and I wish we had never tried...

Anyone giving negative reviews based off trying one or two menu items is REALLY missing out. That's like judging mcdonalds based off there fish fillet. Or judging the jack black king Kong movie based off the first hour of it.

There korean style sweet and spicy chicken is the best. I have been going there for over 13 years and it still amazes me how good it is. I have tried other items like sweet and sour pork and Mongolian beef but theyre not on the same level. Its sweet and a little spicy and has this crunch that you cant find anywhere else. You can also put a little sauce on the rice if your feeling like a rebel.

there mapa tofu is really good as well

Man I love this place if only there chicken wasn't like 25 bucks I'd go there all the time. Although they do give good portions for it same with...

DO NOT GO HERE!!! I cannot believe they are still in business. they are disgusting. One time my dad ordered black been noodles and he almost got food poisoning.. They lady tried to argue with him saying that it wasn't going bad... but we could taste that something in the sauce was not right. we said fine and let it go and just paid for it because we didn't want to argue. Today, my friend wanted to get dinner for me and he got me sweet and sour beef and it was so disgusting. they made it in old oil and there is no meat in it. there is like 10 percent beef and 90 percent flour. they don't even use like chunks of beef they just use like thin slices of beef, it looks like thin slices of roast beef. its ridiculous. I just...
