I ordered here about a year and a half ago and my disappointment then was not misplaced. It would seem that their largely hispanic cooking staff (the kitchen can be seen from the counter) have never actually been trained in the art of Chinese cooking.
Let me say here, while not Chinese, I was born in Indonesia where the cuisine has a heavy Chinese influence. I have eaten in Chinese restaurants all over the world and none have left me with a worse experience than here.
It was a simple order, focusing on appetizers and side dishes. I ordered egg rolls, fried dumplings, steamed dumplings, crab rangoon, Lo-Mein, fried rice and some Chinese fried dough with sugar on top.
The order was ready when I arrived, the counter staff was polite and courteous. I quickly checked out, but not before i looked around the restaurant and determined that I would not sit down to eat here. The dining room was old, run down and not entirely clean.
Bringing the food home and upon inspecting the order it became clear that the order had been sitting for quite a while. The egg rolls were greasy, cold and soggy, as were the friend dumplings and the steamed dumplings. All the food was cold. The crab rangoon was also greasy, soggy and cold. the edges of the dough around the dumplings and rangoon was hard and unpalatable.
I turned my attention to the lo-mein. The noodles were over cooked, the meat had not been velvetized and I'm fairly certain I could still see the marks in the flesh from where the jockey was whipping it before it expired from old age, this was also true for the fried rice. I noticed some of the vegetables in the lo-mein were still half frozen, particularly the broccoli. The fried rice was passable, but fairly tasteless.
I tossed the food, I couldn't serve it to my guests.
I don't know why I ordered here a second time, perhaps I thought they had gotten their act together and given the images on their new website looked savory and delicious. Looks can be deceiving.
Go at your own risk. If this will be your only experience in Chinese cuisine, you may not be as disappointed as I was. As for me, I'll continue to prepare my Chinese cuisine properly & at home. I won't be back to the Pekin Chinese in...

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Peking restaurant, and I must say it was a delightful experience. I ordered the egg roll and egg fried rice, and they were both incredibly delicious.
The egg roll was perfectly crispy on the outside and filled with a flavorful combination of vegetables and meat. The dipping sauce provided added an extra burst of flavor that complemented the roll beautifully.
The egg fried rice was a true standout dish. The rice was cooked to perfection and had a wonderful balance of flavors. It was packed with generous portions of egg, vegetables, and savory seasonings that made each bite a delight.
The service at Peking was excellent, with friendly staff who were attentive and accommodating. The ambiance of the restaurant was inviting and cozy, making it a perfect place to enjoy a meal with friends or family.
Overall, my experience at Peking restaurant was fantastic. The delicious egg roll and egg fried rice left me satisfied and craving more. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for authentic and mouthwatering...
   Read moreStopped for a late dinner after meeting our halfway point in our trip, cross country. Was hungry and wanted something quick and local to the hotel we were staying in and happened upon this place. Not going to lie, we were super skeptical to go in. Chinese food is just so iffy, you know? It can go great or it can be the worst decision of your life. So, after some discussion and deep breaths we went in and ultimately were super happy we did. Fast. Quick. Convenient but best off all? Delicious!! Staff was attentative and friendly. My husband who is not a fan of Chinese food literally said it was the best Chinese food he has ever had. Great portions too! We got the pork fried rice, sweet and sour chicken, crab Rangoon, and orange chicken - so good. Kids loved it.
Thanks for a pleasantly yummy...
