" What a hidden gem! I stumbled upon Downey Peking when searching for Chinese food, and I could not be happier. The ambiance has a charming old-school vibe that brought back fond memories. I tried the Kung Pao chicken and it was perfectly balanced in flavor – not too spicy but with enough kick to enjoy. The staff were friendly and attentive, ensuring our drinks were filled and checking in regularly. I can't wait to go back and sample more of their extensive menu. This place deserves all the praise it gets! " (*Curated Review*)

" I used to love this place but my experiences have declined recently. On multiple occasions, the food I've received felt stale or just didn't taste fresh. The fried rice lacked flavor, and I found hair in my chicken dish last visit, which was an absolute turn-off. The staff is nice enough and offers decent service, but if the food quality doesn't improve, I might have to find a new spot for my Chinese cravings. " (*Curated Review*)

" Downey Peking is like a warm hug on a plate. The comfort food vibe is real here. Love the sweet and sour chicken; it’s always crispy and not overly saucy. The service staff are just as inviting, making it a pleasant dining experience. If you’re searching for a place that feels like home, I can’t recommend this enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant has been around for a long time, and you can tell why. It's the food! Everything feels homemade and fresh. The dishes have a depth of flavor that few places can match. While sometimes they can be busy with a wait, it’s always worth it for the taste and portion sizes. This is a staple in our weekend dining choices. " (*Curated Review*)

" After my husband tried it first, I had to check it out. The Peking Beef is simply divine! It's flavorful and cooked to perfection. The service truly made the experience comfortable and relaxing. The ambiance suits any family or casual outing perfectly. I appreciate how they remember your preferences too. Would love to recommend this place to anyone who enjoys quality Chinese food.

" Having tried Downey Peking several times, I can confidently say the food is usually delightful, but my last visit left something to be desired. The hot and sour soup was more sour than spicy, and the chicken in my dish felt a bit rubbery, as if it had been sitting too long. On the other hand, my family members loved their meals, indicating some inconsistencies. The service was good, though I often notice it gets very busy. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been coming to Downey Peking for over a decade now, and it continues to delight. The sweet and sour pork is my favorite—tender and bursting with flavor. The staff are always eager to give great recommendations and the service is generally very prompt. Plus, the prices are quite reasonable for the portion sizes. You truly get your money's worth here. It's great to see their consistency over the years, and I always leave feeling satisfied. " (*Curated Review*)
