Sorry, We are updating this restaurant menu details.

    It is a decent place to eat downtown in an older building with good service. The food is quintesentially American Chinese, especially to the heat level, which probably makes sense given their clientelle is more used to what passes for Chinese Buffet in rural WI. It is what it is. Portions are decent size, food is freshly prepared, staff is nice, atmo is ok. Full Bar. Food is pretty meh. On the other hand, if you want to talk over lunch, pretty good place with lots of room and they won't be pushing you out the door

    We went here to celebrate a birthday and ordered crab rangoon, egg drop soup, wonton soup, shrimp in lobster sauce and sesame chicken. While atmosphere was nice and the food was good--and you get quite a bit to justify a slight price increase (per plate it was $2-3 more than other Asian food restaurants in the area)--our server was not good and some of our silverware was dirty. Our server was not polite and pushy without being helpful (this was particularly evident when he tried to get us to order drinks without giving us much of a chance to even look over that portion of the menu). This may have been an isolated issue with our waiter since the other members of the staff serving nearby tables appeared helpful and polite. Overall, I would consider going again (with the hope of getting a different server), but there are better "nice" restaurants in the area and some are even within a couple of blocks from this location.

    Took the parents here when they visited from out-of-town. We got the vegetarian lo mein, chicken cantonese, and sizzling beef. The vegetarian lo mein was disappointing. It was so salty that we ended up eating rice with it to counter the taste. The chicken cantonese was average, where the sauce was unspectacular and chicken/veggies ratio was okay. The sizzling beef had better taste than the other two dishes, as it tasted great with rice. My dad asked for some chilly sauce on a side dish to go with the chicken, as it tasted much better with a small kick. However we got charged $1.50 for it not knowing it costed extra. The chilly sauce was about nickel size and out of a container. Charging extra for rice, guacamole, sweet potato fries upgrade - I can understand. But regular chilly sauce? This is a first. The service was good, and the atmosphere is decent. But the food/prices have convinced me not to go back.

    Pros: Decor Cons: Overprice for an average asian cusine. I can get the same type of food and the same taste at china buffet or king buffet. Took about an hour to get our food of 2 people. Food is average, nothing unique about this. I would go there again just to say "I ate at a classy asian dine in" whoopy!.

    At 1:15 it was empty but for me and Hubs. We should have left right then and there but we were so hungry. Everything we ate, egg drop soup (too thick and viscuous), egg foo yong (mushy) was bland and unpalitable. The table was small and the ice cream parlor chairs were too small for me big bum, very uncomfortable for a full figured gal. What a waste of money.

    Service is poor. Food is over priced. Elegant restaurant. Food is ok, but I could buy and eat better Chinese than at this place.

    I first came to Peking nearly 20 years ago as a high school student who was giving swimming lessons to the owner's children - and fell in love with the ambiance. So when I visited recently and my dad asked where to for dinner- we went here. The place is as I remembered- plus they have (according to a becoming a Norcal bay area wine snob despite all efforts not to just by the number of wine tasting excursions and friends who drink "the good stuff") a surprisingly good wine list and Ketel One vodka. They also had some of the best seafood I have had - we had a Szechuan Seafood special- medium hot. The texture of the scallops and taste of the shrimp and lobster stood out and the sauce was spicy enough without overpowering the taste of the seafood. How a Midwestern small restaurant in my charming little hometown has better seafood than what I've had in SF beats me- but the only scallops I have had compare were at CIA in Napa. This was much cheaper! Score one for the hometown!

    Just had a wonderful meal at the Peking in Wausau, WI. The desert of Bailey's Cheesecake was to die for....complete with the straw to sip any remaining "Bailey's" if we missed it. I know, mom taught me never to lick the plate but if ever there was a reason to break that rule...tonight was it. Plus the Vanilla Truffle and the Chocolate Martini were excellent. The service was terrific as well. It was worth the trip from Seattle to Medford to Wausau. My family and I visit every year when I come home and there's no doubt a tradition has been established.

    Although some Wausauites or Wausonians or whatever we call ourselves love the Peking, I find there food to be on the bland side. They have a great ambience with a cool bar. This is a neat place downtown to meet friends and mix.

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.
