Customer Reviews
We had all the staples the kids loved and each was incredible! The orange chicken came in this very unique presentation, tasted amazing, especially with the cherries and it had a good crunch. The Bourbon chicken was also incredible, it had a lot of thinly sliced onions BUT they're soaked in that sauce which makes them taste so good. The Mongolian beef was my favorite and it was packed with flavor! This is easily our favorite Chinese restaurant so far! Apparently they used to have a buffet on Sundays that I don't think they do anymore which is a shame. If they bring that back, this would easily be one of the best restaurants in the area.
We ordered take out, and I tried to get something semi-healthy so I ordered the Spicy Vegetable lunch meal only to discover on the first bite that it was full of sugar and was so sweet to me, that I threw the whole meal into the garbage. There's no ingredient list on the menu, so unless you've ordered an item before, there's no way to know. Veggies were overcooked, broccoli was soggy and the rice was mushy. Maybe the food is better if you eat in the restaurant, but I'll not be getting take out from here again.
The atmosphere is very nice. The decoration and walls make you feel like you are in China. You can get a lot of portions for a cheap price. My wife loved the shrimp. But l didnt like the rice+chicken fries. I liked chinese beer.
My wife and I ate there today for lunch. My wife had almond chicken and I had spicy Peking chicken. My lunch was a mixture of warm and cool chicken. Sweet and not spicy served with rice in a puddle of liquid. My wife's was cold served the same way with rice in a puddle of liquid. The egg drop soup was fine. The egg rolls were okay. We both ordered tea which didn't come until I asked for it. Maybe we came on an off day. They have good reviews, we were looking forward to trying them out.
This is the best Chinese food in the entire country. While probably one of the more biased reviews available for a restaurant, I'm still going to lay it out there. We have been coming to Peking in Athens, GA for over 30 years. From the original owners of Peter and Francis to the wonderful Christine and her late husband, the owners and operators of this restaurant have always been really great people. They are so friendly and the entire staff provides exceptional service. Speaking of service...you know a restaurant is great when you have a stable of waiters/waitresses that have been there for decades. DECADES. Speaking of decades, I have celebrated the majority of my birthdays at this restaurant. From graduation dinners to other celebratory occasions, the answer is always clear for where
