Peking Gourmet

The food is fresh and flavorful. We’ve never had any issues with the food or employees. The portions are a little small, but very good!

Not horrible nothing too exciting.

Let me start by saying the owners are VERY friendly. Waited 30 mins for our order. Our spare ribs were just actual ribs, that were charbroiled. The soup is cold and flavorless. The wontons are stale. Rice is crunchy and flavorless. We had Tso chicken and sesame chicken. They served us the same exact chicken with different garnish. They added pepper to his and sesame seeds to mine. I’ve eaten at atleast a hundred Chinese restaurants. This was hands down the worst Chinese food I’ve ever had. Shame because the people are so nice :(

I try to keep an open mind-​and lower my standards a bit-​for these strip mall Chinese take-​out places. Sadly I cannot lower my standards enough to find this place acceptable. The hubs and I ordered cashew nut chicken, spicy shedded beef, egg drop soup, and hot&sour soup.
I will say that the cashew chicken was edible, it was not awesome, but it was not terrible, so I can reccomend this if you are in the area and simply desperate for Chinese food. Everything else was terrible.
The shredded beef wasn’t…by this I mean that I got a bowl full of shredded peppers and onions and perhaps 6 – 8 teeny tiny itty bitty shreds of mystery meat. The sauce was some kind of sweet/​sour vinegary soupy yuck. It was also not a bit spicy. The hot&sour soup was neither hot nor was it sour. The eggdrop soup, well… we each had one spoonful looked at each other and dumped it. Come to think of it, most of it went into the trash. I won’t be back.
Gosh I’m hungry…

My general Tsao’s chicken was dry (how does that ever happen?!) and tasted as if it had been made yesterday. The rice had barely any flavor and the crab Rangoon wasn’t even warm! I’ve had their food in the past and was pleased but it would seem they’ve taken a turn for the worse.

Have you ever noticed that sometimes Chinese food sounds AMAZING but ends up being just ho-​hum food that leads to a feeling of overwhelming lethargy?
Peking Gourmet is acceptable Chinese food but I wouldn’t describe it as «good.» The General Tso’s Chicken (c’mon, you know you order it every time too) is bland and chewy. Is it just me or did General Tso’s chicken become more bland country-​wide as it became more popular? The chicken lo mein was also very bland.
Mostly I’m writing this review so that next time I want Chinese food I remember to not go here again.

The wait was a little long, but the food was worth it! Had chicken lo mein, and lemon chicken that were both decent, but it was the General Tso’s chicken that was really good! The fried wontons were also worth repeating. Can’t wait to try other things on the menu!
