Peking Restaurant

"First time trying this very standard Chinese restaurant. My first impression was delight by the elaborate decoration all over the place. Great job there, this place has probably been around for 40 or so years. The service was absolutely adequate and the menu is 100% reliably standard, maybe even a little heavy handed with the meat ingredients and lacks options for vegeterians. The food was pretty mild and forgettable, not that they cooked it wrong but I've just had sesame chicken better made at a lot of places. This place is worth going to if your expectations are low and your options are scarce. I guess it's worth noting that the soda was particularly tasty. One last thought, listening to modern country music in a Chinese restaurant is a special kind of torture."

"Not the same for some reason. This used to be my absolute favorite loxal chinese restaurant. I'm not sure I can say the same anymore. It seems like the servings are smaller and the quality is inconsistent."

"I would give negative stars if it were an option. We ordered sweet and sour chicken, fried rice, chicken lo mien, egg rolls and crab Rangoon. It was $55 and change. It was ALL…I mean …ALL disgusting! The sweet and sour chicken was soggy and gross tasting. The “sweet and sour sauce” was more like fluorescent red jelly. The fried was was literally just white rice with some scrambled egg in it. The chicken in the lo mien was grey, fatty and slimy. The sauce it was in was disgusting, fatty sludge. The egg rolls and crab Rangoon were awe filling as well. I cannot believe for a second that any positive reviews for this place are legit. Obviously standards are pretty low in Muscatine otherwise! We threw everything away. We tried to eat it and our first bites were spit out. Horrible!"

"Awful! Truly awful! No flavor. If you hate Chinese food and think recipes out of a 1970’s cookbook written by a white lady who didn’t really know how to cook Chinese food is authentic or good Chinese food, this is the place for you!!! If you like Chinese food and you enjoy flavors this is NOT the place for you. My Chicken and mushrooms was mostly an unmentionable soup and the carrots in it were carrot coins right from the frozen section of a grocery store - not cut correctly. I can promise if you asked to tour the kitchen, they are not cooking in a wok. So the cook on the food is off. Sauce is not made correctly. Way too much big the sauce (which again wasn’t good). The pork fried rice was not made correctly. It might “look similar” to a fried rice, but fried rice it is not!!! Whoever is cooking could go to YouTube or TikTok and get better recipes. The methods and ingredients are WRONG!!! Now, let’s talk about the prices. WOW!!!! I paid $13 for that small box of chicken and mushrooms (which was a soupy mess). All together between the entrée, pork fried rice, and fried Wonton, I spent $34!!! All that money on food I could barely choke down because it was just NOT GOOD! More embarrassed at the idea I paid that much money on a meal I didn’t enjoy at all… bottom line … don’t eat there - ever!"
