Peking Restaurant

By far the best Chinese restaurant in Athens! I have tried the Sesame Chicken and the Hot Braised Chicken, and both were fantastic. I also love that they have the little jar of sweet & sour sauce at the table--delicious!

Went on a Sunday for lunch. The Good: very large portions (easily two meals out of one meal for an average eater) and an attentive waitress (which was possible largely because there were hardly any people there; typically not a good sign). Also, cool Asian decor. The Bad: Food could be so much better if less salted and sugared. Totally over the top and just wrecked the dish. I had Mandarin Ginger Beef. Too sweet and WAY too salty. Would've been pretty good if they didn't mess it up so bad. Additionally, no idea what they are thinking with calling their fried rice "Fried Rice". It's basically white rice with some egg and peas and carrots mixed in. Doesn't seem like any frying on a wok had occurred. Never seen anything like that. The place gives me the vibe that it was once something far better, but has gone downhill.

Been coming here since ‘93 for the best Mongolian Beef I have ever had. Still tastes great and for a great price. Really is enough for two meals with all they include.

From the moment I drove by, this place caught my eye—the exterior alone made me want to stop in, and I’m so glad I did. The interior completely blew me away. From floor to ceiling, every detail made me feel fully immersed in the experience. The service was outstanding—friendly, attentive, and efficient without feeling rushed. My meal arrived incredibly fast and my sake piping hot, which is always a huge plus. The portions were generous, and everything tasted fresh and flavorful. The atmosphere really tied it all together. Soft music played in the background, creating a relaxing and welcoming vibe that made it easy to sit back and enjoy the meal. I would absolutely recommend this spot to anyone—families, students, couples, even newlyweds looking for a cozy night out.

We had all the staples the kids loved and each was incredible! The orange chicken came in this very unique presentation, tasted amazing, especially with the cherries and it had a good crunch. The Bourbon chicken was also incredible, it had a lot of thinly sliced onions BUT they're soaked in that sauce which makes them taste so good. The Mongolian beef was my favorite and it was packed with flavor! This is easily our favorite Chinese restaurant so far! Apparently they used to have a buffet on Sundays that I don't think they do anymore which is a shame. If they bring that back, this would easily be one of the best restaurants in the area.
