" Peking Cafe has been a staple in my family for years, and it never disappoints! From the crispy egg rolls to the rich and savory beef with broccoli, every dish reminds me of home-cooked meals. My only complaint is that it can get a bit busy during dinner hours, so I recommend calling ahead for takeout. Regardless, the food is always fresh, and I appreciate the friendly service. They have recently updated their menu to include healthier options, which is a nice touch. Overall, a fantastic place to grab a meal with loved ones! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was thrilled to finally try Peking Cafe after hearing so much about it from friends. The atmosphere was cozy, and the staff greeted us with smiles. I ordered the shrimp with lobster sauce, and it was heavenly – the portion size was generous, and the shrimp were fresh and perfectly cooked. I also enjoyed their fried rice, which had great flavor. The only downside was that it took a bit longer than expected for our food to arrive, but it was worth the wait. I will definitely be back to explore more of the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" The people at Peking Cafe are so friendly and the dining experience is quite nice. I had a really tasty chicken and broccoli dish that was well-presented. I enjoy the homey atmosphere, albeit a bit dated. Portion sizes were great! Only drawback is their cash-only policy. If it weren't for that, I'd definitely frequented more regularly! " (*Curated Review*)

" Peking Cafe has been around for ages and it's easy to see why. My family loves it here – the chicken chow mein is a staple at dinner. It’s comforting and flavorful, unlike many other places that skimp on flavor. The staff treats us like family, which is always nice to experience. I do wish they would modernize a bit for the younger crowd though. It's worth the visit for the food alone! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing great things about Peking Cafe, I finally went to try it. While the atmosphere wasn't fancy, it felt very homey. I ordered the fried rice and general tso chicken. I found the rice to be a bit bland; however, the chicken was flavorful and well-cooked. The service was on point and made up for any shortcomings. Overall, I had a decent meal but I might explore other options before coming back. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a wonderful dinner experience at Peking Cafe. We decided to try a variety of dishes and weren't disappointed in any of them. The shrimp with lobster sauce was exquisite – the shrimp was fresh, and the sauce had just the right amount of richness. We also indulged in their traditional chow mein, which was a highlight of the meal. The place has a great family vibe, and the staff were very attentive. This will become a new favorite spot on our list! " (*Curated Review*)

" I don't visit this restaurant often but when I do, I'm never disappointed. The portions are massive, and I usually leave with a full belly and leftovers. My go-to is the fried rice – it's one of the best I've had in the area. The server was prompt, and they are consistently friendly. I cannot say enough good things about the food quality. This place is certainly worth a visit if you're in the mood for some hearty Chinese food. " (*Curated Review*)
