Peking - Richmond

I didn't actually eat the food here (I have allergies to a lot of the ingredients) but one of my clubs meets here for monthly meetings on a fairly regular basis. They all love the food and the restaurant is immaculately clean, service is good, and the place is nearly always at least half to 3/4 full.

We hadn't eaten here in some time and decided I wanted Chinese food for dinner. I ordered on my phone and then went to the window pickup as they don't deliver. I was greeted by the Gentleman who is always there! owner, manager I'm sorry his name escapes me). He always remembers me, asks how I am doing and is such a nice man! I'm pleased to say my Hunan chicken was the best I'd had there in a long time as was my Hot and Sour soup. My husband agreed his Twice Cooked Pork was as well. The portions were very generous and enough for several meals so the cost is very good compared to many restaurants and definitely fast food! So.. praise to the chef that night! We will definitely remain customers of this long time restaurant in Mechanicsville and encourage you to give them a try!

My new favorite restaurant in Mechanicsville. I've lived in Mechanicsville my whole life. So I've been to nearly every restaurant and fast food place in the area. Peking is one of those older gems that you wish more people appreciated and took notice of. Pro's: FREE TEA! Really, need I say more? Just kidding. While the tea is a wonderful bonus that we always appreciate, the food is absolutely amazing. I've never NOT had great food or service at this restaurant. No matter what I get, the portions are always huge and I always have leftovers. Always. My two favorite dishes are the Crispy Duck and Happy Family, though the wing and rib appetizers are also really good. My only complaint would be that I wish the dishes had more sauce (I've asked, they usually bring out a side of uncooked sauce that doesn't taste the same . Service: The staff is always very friendly and polite. I've never had any complaints over any staff member before. Cons: As much as I hate to list a con, there is one that really needs to be brought up. Decor. This establishment has been around for a long, long time... and it looks it. The decor really needs to be updated, or if anything, they need to fix everything that's obviously broken. The booths and curtains are torn. The tables are cracked. The wallpaper is peeling. And the ceiling tiles are disgusting. Please, please update your decor so this restaurant can shine as much as it deserves. Edit: The restaurant has since removed all of the booths and replaced them with chairs and has cleaned the ceiling. It's a big improvement. :
