Peking Village

I had been to this restaurant quite a few times and even had food delivered & considered all aspects of the earlier 2007 restaurant to be above average. It was one of those ""great finds"" that you love to take people to. Unfortunately, sometime in fall, they changed ownership, management & worse, the chef. I was assured the food was the same and the menu only slightly changed, however it was too much of a change and the quality suffered as well. I was very disappointed. The earlier reviews that had high marks were all true. Unfortunately, the previous customer was true as well. Cons: End of 2007 New management, new chef & results went from excellent to poor. more

The restaurant appeared clean but I must admit I was rather concerned when I walked in during dinner hours, on a Friday night, to find a single customer eating inside the restaurant. As they were bringing out my food 4 or 5 people walked in, halfway into the restaurant, turned around and walked back out. I'm just hoping they didn't see something I missed that made them turn around and walk out after only seconds... maybe they were thinking the same thing I was when I walked in (re: the lack of customers). The staff was friendly and the gentleman informed me they deliver, for free, on any order over $20.00 and if you order $50.00 or more they give you a Chinese Chicken Salad (I believe) for free. He mentioned how customers boasted about the salad. The food was hot and the portions were slightly larger than average. Sadly, the food was LESS than average. I've tried many, many Chinese restaurants and this comes close to the worst I've been to. The Chicken Fried rice honestly looked like it was a container filled with left overs from many plates, it appeared old and stale, which is exactly how the rice tasted. The Chicken Chow Mein was overly greasy and ""blah."" It didn't have a good flavor. The Sweet & Sour Pork was okay... The Walnut Prawns were ""more than words can describe disappointing;"" listed on their menu as: ""Crispy prawns and walnuts sauteed and fried in light white sauce."" (Which is exactly what they are and should be.) When I opened my container it was fried prawns in one section (the prawns were tasty and fresh at least), walnuts in another section, and white sauce in the other. The walnuts looked raw and the sauce had absolutely no flavor, barely sweet. It looked like extremely thick mayonnaise without the flavor. The Hot & Sour Soup was hot, our toddler loved the tofu, and over all this was probably the best item we ate... it was decent. My family and I personally do not recommend this Chinese Food restaurant and we will definitely not return. Pros: Cleanliness, Friendly Staff, Fast Service Cons: Below Average Food more

Great food!!! We orderd the prawn fried rice (large prawns), sweet and sour chicken (all white meat) mangolian beef (wish it was a little more spicier, but good), and the egg fu young (very vey good and hard to find). The food was fresh and smelled wonderful. Pros: Great food, clean restaurant Cons: Parking, needs more windows more

Peking Village is really a nice place to hang out with your friends and family whether during lunch or dinner. It's a good place to practice your vocal cord as well. If you are looking forward to have a good time, Peking Village is the place. I am so happy! I got to sing the songs of my favorite diva's like Regine, Zsa Zsa and Lani!!! And everyone was so appreciative and you can practice your dance moves like the chacha and swing. I love this place! more

I always consider cleanliness of the restaurant when I bring my family to eat out. This restaurant has improved since the change of management. It looks clean everywhere and smells clean. Please KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! Pros: Inexpensive, Family restaurant, Friendly Mgnt Cons: Parking more

If youre craving for a good, affordable and authentic Chinese food then I highly recommend this place. The ambiance is really cozy, its very modern. I come here all the time and Im very happy that they have added more choices to their menu. You should check it out. Pros: Cozy, modern, Plasma TVs, Serve Beer and Wine more

I was very surprised...A chinese restaurant with live Jazz music??? It was great!!! I urge everyone to try it. The Chow Fun is great, delicious! more

Average or just below. If you want great authetic Asian cuisine, I suggest traveling to Oakland's Chinatown. more

Who would have expected that a Chinese restaurant could make it such a memorable experience; We stopped at a bank for a quick ATM stop, and what caught our attention is this huge patio, decked out with nice patio chairs, fancy umbrellas and a plasma screen. It took a minute for hostess to notice us, we didnt mind as we were checking out the menu. The desert that caught my attention; a fresh fruit chocolate fondue, we had to try it. We scored a table in front of the performer who was playing jazz. My girlfriend ordered Honey Walnut Shrimp and I ordered Spicy Lamb. Food arrived within minutes; all of the dishes were decorated, a very nice presentation. Chocolate arrived in a fondue pot, with flame under it. The fruit plate was filled with fresh strawberry, apples, cheese, pineapple, and banana. It is hard to describe in 150 words Pros: Fantastic Food, Awesome Patio, Great Service Cons: Never knew it's there more

I walked in toward closing, but instead of the ""oh no"" mood, I got a genuine ""Good evening!"". Having recently moved from the Chicago area, I was looking for a place who had dishes very similar to the place we frequented back home. Everyone's favorites were there - but mine. When I brought this up with the owner, he called the chef out from the back and had me describe what ingredients were in it. The chef whipped up a batch of the most heavenly Banana Chicken I have EVER HAD! I hope it becomes a regular on the menu - because it was FANTASTIC! Pros: Good price, Great taste, Customer service more

Dined with family and enjoyed every item we ordered. Its about time Concord got an upscale asian food place. Service was excelent and they offered free desert after our great spicy meal. I believe they have recently got aquired, and so far the changes are for the better. Pros: Great Food, Good Service, Good Value Cons: large portions more

I was with my family in Peking Village twice. Both times we all were completely satisfied with food, service and prices. This restaurant is oriented for different categories of people. Here you can have romantic dinner with candles. The interior and environment are nice. You can come here with children. Wide assortment of menu allows them to find something yummy. If you come here alone you can enjoy your food watching TV. It is the best Chinese restaurant I ever visited! Pros: Inexpensive, delicious food, service more

Excellent Chinese restaurant, Try out Mongolian Chicken (I think it is not there in the Menu). Service was excellent and they offered free desert after our great spicy meal. If you really like spicy food then order any spicy item from the Menu(Try out cashew nut chicken or mixed barbeque). It is just great and awesome ! more

This restaurant is well known for a long time for their great inexspensive lunches. Now, with the change of owner and interior renovation, the restaurant started to server excellent dinners as well. We were on such dinner last Sunday, and the food, the service, and the ambience were perfect. I can definitely recommend Peking Village for both lunches and dinners on both weekdays and weekends. Pros: Tasty food, prompt service, cool interior Cons: Sometimes crowded more

Peking Village is my favorite restaurant in the city. Great food, great service, great ambiance. Nothing better. You can enjoy your food and watch your favorite game on a huge TV screen. Perfect place to gather with your friends or family members and have a very good time. more
