Beijing Chinese Restaurant 1709 Massachusetts Avenue, Lexington, MA 02420

"If there were half stars, I’d probably give a 3.5, but I’m rounding up to 4 because I would go back for sure. I started with a mai tai which was just ok. They don’t have a lot of tiki cocktails on the menu but maybe they can make the basics. I’ll try something else next time. For an appetizer we got crab Rangoon. It was minimally stuffed and not very good. It should be avoided. Dinner was much better. The half peking duck was good. The meat was excellent and the veggies were fresh, though the pancakes were more like a tortilla than a traditional peking pancake. The spicy sautéed cabbage was amazing. I highly recommend the cabbage, particularly with the duck. The service was efficient even though the dining room was pretty crowded. The atmosphere is nice, above average for a traditional Chinese restaurant. Bottom line: I’m looking for a Chinese restaurant near by to be my go to. I’m not sure this is it, but I would go back again."

"We’ve been here multiple times and never been disappointed. Until this evening. Our order was over $70 and it was not worth. One of the items ordered was Beef Lo Mein and it had 4 pieces of meat, I ordered beef but got pork. Additionally most of the noodles were burnt. This was a pick order, so I didn’t notice until I got home."

"Nice decor. Menu looks good. Food was good. Missing little things...details. For a Conch dish, it is usually served with shrimp sauce/paste. They did not. We ordered a dish, but when they started serving us our entrees, told us one entree was not available and we picked another dish which turned out to be not as good as in Boston Chinatown. Speaking of which, in Boston Chinatown, after a meal, would serve complimentary dessert, like fresh slices of oranges or bowls of hot tapioca with red beans. They do not. Overall, a pleasant dinner and good service."

"I came in with my family to have Peking Duck, which we haven't had in many years since traveling to Beijing. While the duck was good, I wish it came with traditional spring pancakes instead of flour tortillas."

"Dropped in for a quick bite to eat. Got the general tsos and it was pretty good. Nice and crispy and the presentation is good. Tossed a beer on the side too. I love the jazz they play in there. I even came alone and it fit the mood. The entrance is dope because it's stairs. Up the mountain we go!"
