Chinese Cuisine
The popularity of Chinese food in America can be adjudicated by the appearance of China Town in many major cities in the United State of America. The popular trend of ordering or opting for Chinese take away food isn't unknown in America. Chinese take away food comes to rescue when you're too tired from work or too exhausted to cook. No one can resist the temptation of eating spicy noodles, shrimp, chicken, beef or pork cooked in the sweet and spicy sauce. The cooking method of authentic Chinese food is a lot different compared to what is served in America.
Generally, Chinese use dark meat small bones and organs to cook dishes but this changes when you are eating American-Chinese fusion food prepared using white boneless meat cooked with broccoli, carrots and onions. Back in China, the food is less spicy and oily as they favor steaming and braising method for cooking the most popular dishes. So, if you have a taste for authentic Chinese food, then try finding a real Chinese restaurant in the city. You can also try the most popular fusion Chinese food like Pecking Duck, Chicken Feet, Hot Pot, Shrimp Dumpling Soup, Mapo Tofu, Wontons, Chop Suey, Egg Rolls and not to forget Fortune Cookies.
There are not many restaurants in America serving authentic Chinese food. A little research on Restaurant Listings directory can help you locate the best Chinese restaurants in the city. Chinese cuisine is continuously evolving, and you can find a variety of dishes categorized as the food for lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant, vegan, vegetarian, and diabetic friendly. So, if you have a group of friends with different taste patterns, save the hassle and visit the nearest Chinese restaurant in your city.

I didn't think I could expect much from a restaurant attached to a mall but I was mistaken. They had good sushi that was worth the price which by the way was very affordable. And the service here was also good. However that was just about it that was worthy of good mention here. Everything else in this place from the water to the food apart from the sushi leaves much to be deserved. I would lower the stars to maybe a 0.5 or more less if I were to think again but I must admit the sushi was actually good. This place has potential if they clean up their act.

Return here for the first time in some months. Sushi is still great, especially their California roll. Their spicy tuna was particularly hot tonight and the salmon and avocado was silky and fresh. We also ordered three Chinese entrees. My partner's requisite Kung Pao met its usual spicy standard. My other dining partner had an order of shrimp fried rice; their approval was confirmed by the perfectly empty plate at the end of the meal. I tried the triple tangerine special which included chicken, shrimp, and scallops in a sweet tangerine sauce. The sauce was tangy with the orange, bitter with the rind, and hot with a bit of spice. All in all another good meal here. Service was better than usual. I love the fact that they give you a hot towel to clean your hands at the start of a meal. It's located in the mall but does not have that ambience.

This place is really more like 2.75 stars, but I'm in a generous mood. Honestly I think this is the best place to go if you want sushi take-out. I had some problems with being INSIDE the restaurant. For starters, the little candles they had on the tables smelled like melting plastic. It was pretty hard to handle, and they just kept lighting more and more of them. Honestly it smelled like a flat iron that was being used for the very first time. I also wasn't a fan of their water (yeah, their water) because it tasted dirty and peculiar. I didn't end up drinking it. Also, the cocktail I had (mangotini) tasted like nothing. It wasn't sweet, didn't taste like mango, nothing. I drank it down like it was nothing. The yakitori was pretty bland, but the meat gyoza was very, very good. The sushi and sashimi was also very good. I'd come back here for take-out, for sure. But the ambiance of the place and the drinks weren't great, so it's not really worth it, in my opinion, to dine-in. On the upside, the service was good. Everything came out fast and the waiters were nice.

Went for Valentine's Day. There were many empty tables and we were told the delays were due to them being busy. Took an hour for a sushi roll. They forgot out appetizers and went to our meals. Did not even comp one that we asked to home since they forgot. Ordered beef scallion roll up from the menu...then they told us they don't have and suggested the skewers.. Which we ordered. Unfortunately they were not prepared. Other than the obstacles... Food was delicious.... Shrimp tempura, Peking duck and schezuan Kung pao chicken.

Let me state that I am Chinese and hold various Chinese restaurants to an equal standard as a native Italian would to various Italian restaurants. Eating dinner now. So far they seem to be out of half of the food we ordered. The half they DO have, tastes like stuff I can get from the local Asian supermarket. The first dish (soup dumplings) tasted like something from the frozen aisle and reheated. We asked them how the quality compaired to that of Chinatown and was told it was exactly the same. Additionally all of them dumpling were broken and all the soup inside had already leaked out. The second was something that I got from canned goods. The third dish did not taste right (like asking for tomatoes and getting ketchup instead). The fourth dish was OK but a bit on the bland side. Finally, the waitress. She did not know her own menu. She took our order then sat the another table a few minutes later. But they were served all of their food before we received a single appetizer. All in total, taste was mediocre , prices were harsh, portions were small, quality was poor. If you plan on limiting yourself and only ordering generic Americanized Asian cuisine, such as general Tao's chicken or California rolls, you'll really like this place. However if you want an authentic Chinese food experience, I wouldn't recommend that you eat here.

A fancier and comfortable Chinese restaurant hidden within a mall. I love the kind of romantic yet comfortable atmosphere of this place! They have sushi and also a unique choice of somewhat tradition Chinese dishes. Most of the dishes are large enough to share, family style! Since the atmosphere is a bit more classy, the price tag is also higher than most Chinese restaurants. But the food is delicious! I did find it to be a bit too salty, but everything was cooked well and prepared fresh. Except for the chinese soup dumplings!! I can tell that it was the frozen kinds and not made fresh because the dumplings didn't have any soup in them at all. Besides that, I would love to try everything else on the menu!

We have been coming here on occasion because peking is close for take out. Myself, my husband and three girls have come to eat in the restaurant about 5 times now. Quite average and overpriced, but decent when myself and my oldest want sushi and the rest do not. Average until tonight... Now it rates as below average without a doubt. My husband was working so I took my daughters out to eat tonight. I ordered the sushi platter and my oldest a sushi roll. My two younger girls ordered their usual dumplings and chicken fried rice. Everything was average as usual, until I convinced my youngest to eat the shrimp from my sushi platter. I thought she was overreacting when she spit it into her napkin, until I wanted to show her it tasted just fine. However, when I attempted to eat the shrimp it was beyond a doubt FOUL. It tasted horrible and smelled rancid. At this point I could not finish the rest of my meal and was nervous to let my daughters finish the rest of their food. I let the waiter know the shrimp was bad so they could prevent more shrimp from going out to other customers. The reply was that the shrimp was fine and gave me a 10% off coupon for a future visit!! Haha! Like I am coming back! So beware! If you want an AVERAGE meal and a chance of eating some nasty rancid seafood, this is the place to go. Maybe I have been spoiled by way better sushi/Asian restaurants downtown. I will keep my business in philly or Azie in Media. Might be a little more pricy, but way less risky!! Seriously??? 10% coupon!!??!! At least own up to the fact that you served me an old rancid shrimp! I would at least have had some respect for you Margaret kuo!!

We went here for lunch and got the lunch special. The price was very affordable, the entrees were very tasty, the soup was a tad on the cold side, and they completely forgot to give us Oolong tea. The service was kind of slow (it was lunch on a Monday and there was no one in the restaurant), but I would imagine dinner service would be much better. All in all, it was good. I would go again.

I ordered some authentic Chinese food from the Chinese menu! I think the English menu has more Americanized food. It's not easy to find outstanding Chinese restaurant like Peking in this area! Unfortunately, I don't live in Media. Otherwise, I will go there very often!

Had lunch with several friends at Peking today, and was surprised how good the food was and how serene the place was. We all ordered either from the lunch specials or the basic Chinese menu and the seafood and veggies were of high quality, well prepared and flavorful. One of us had the Green Goddess vegetarian special, one had the Rainbow shrimp and I had the Mu Shu pork. Decent service, prompt and attentive. I commented that the food was better than many chain restaurants like PF Chang and the place was much quieter. This was my first experience here, but I'll be back.

Since the Mid 70s, proprietor Margaret Kuo has built up a small empire of upscale establishments that feature a wide variety of fusion and authentic Chinese and Japanese cuisines. However, Peking, inauspiciously attached to the Granite Run Mall, was the first to open its doors. I also happen to think that of her four restaurants, it is still the best. There are few Chinese restaurants in the greater Philadelphia area that offer the combination of great food, great drink, atmosphere, and service that are consistently on display at Peking. When you walk in, you are immediately greeted by a professional and well dressed host. Wait staff is prompt, polite, and extremely competent. The dining room itself is an elegant combination of traditional art pieces, mirrors, and wood trim. Rather than simply being a well appointed dining room that happens to serve Chinese and Japanese fare, the decor shares an identity with the menu, which I like. We have never been disappointed by a meal here, and our most recent visit was no exception. The sushi bar is top flight, but we tend to stick to the favorites on the Chinese side of the menu that this restaurant built its reputation on. The soups are all excellent, as are the dumplings, spring rolls, and open ended potstickers. For entrees, the Imperial Shrimp is a standout, as are virtually any of whole fish, pork, or poultry dishes in general. You cannot go wrong. That said, if there is one thing on the menu that is bucket list worthy, it's their rendition of Peking Duck. The ring of a small gong announces its arrival to the entire restaurant, while a chef wheels it out whole on a cart and proceeds to carve it for you table-side. It's one of the few remaining opportunities in restaurants anywhere to enjoy such an elaborate presentation, and for this alone it is a worthwhile experience. Fortunately, it's also delicious---wonderfully crispy and rich, served with a tangy sauce and wrapped in scallion pancakes. Notably, Peking has also earned multiple awards from Wine Spectator for their alcohol service, which is fantastic and comprehensive enough to cater to any taste. Cocktails, wine, beers, sake...they do it all and they do it well. There is only one concern I have, and that is the restaurant's future. As mentioned previously, it's location is in the now almost completely abandoned Granite Run Mall---which is slated for partial demolition sometime in 2015. Despite the fact that the mall today is a sad shadow of its former self and no longer assists by providing foot traffic, Peking still reels in some business---ostensibly enough to remain open. A new plan to convert the mall into mixed-use development calls for multiple standalone restaurants, so hopefully this will either include Peking, or plans are being made to re-locate. The bottom line is this: make sure you get there in the next few months if you haven't already, and experience this gem before things get murky. You won't regret it.

We had a delightful lunch for 5 that far surpassed my expectations for in-mall Chinese. Edamame and Gyoza apps were tasty. Lunch entrees were reasonably priced and perfectly sized. Some of the best (basic) Chicken and brocolli - tender white meat and not gloppy. Outstanding shrimp lo mein with thinner than usual noodles - not overloaded with onion. NOT GREASY. A pleasure. Rainbow shrimp was great, too- and not skimpy on the shrimpy. Friendly, efficient service and lovely decor. Full bar and sushi (did not try it yet.). We can't wait to return.

I love this place - it's my go to for special occasions. I really like the fact that they don't only have a Chinese fusion menu, but also a separate Japanese menu too. The sushi is pretty solid. I'll come here and dine with my family about once or twice a year. This time around we got takeout, which was a first. Got the sushi and sashimi combination dinner, as well as the Imperial Shrimp - the food was enough to fill three people. Needless to say, the food was of exceptional quality. The sushi and sashimi was well prepared, fresh, and high quality. The shrimp dish was absolutely delicious and very consistent; this is a dish we often order. If you're on the fence, give this place a try for a nice evening.

Talk about excellent food and great service! This is "real" Chinese food, not American fast Chinese food.

This is one of Margaret Kuo's restaurants (in fact where she started), and the food is just as good as any of her others. It is located by the mall, but it's not the typical Americanized Chinese restaurants you find near other malls. It has both Americanized and authentic Chinese food, the latter of which requires you to ask for a Chinese menu. Interestingly, while the name of the restaurant suggests northern Chinese food, this restaurant actually serves more Shanghai-style dishes, ranging from the popular steamed juicy pork buns (which belong to the casual dim sum category), to more sophisticated banquet food including appetizers and entrees that require a lot of preparation. We tried wonton soup, drunken chicken, five-spice beef, salty duck, and Wuxi-style ribs, and they looked and tasted on par with what you would expect of a fine restaurant in Shanghai. The restaurant is clean and nicely decorated, and the wait staff is very friendly and accommodating. They also have Japanese food, which seems quite popular as well but we have yet to try out. Highly recommend if you live in the area and are looking for authentic Chinese food!

After about 1/2 dozen visits I've never had a bad meal at this exceptional Chinese restaurant. The Peking Duck is very tasty. Shrimp with vegetables had a light sauce that was very good. There are a variety of teas served in heavy black pots - nice touch. The service is equal to the quality of the food.
