Food: Disappointing, bland flavors

Customers have mentioned the depressing lack of creativity in Peking Dragon's menu, reminiscent of the 70s and devoid of innovation. The taste of their dishes also leaves a lot to be desired, with bland flavors and poor preparation. Their lack of fresh ingredients, with the use of spoiled vegetables, seals their culinary fate. The only saving grace seems to be their generous portions and affordable prices.

  • Large Portions

    Generous large portions that satisfy and often result in leftovers.

  • Okay Value

    Some find prices fair, reasonable; others think they're slightly high.

  • Not Creative

    Menu reminiscent of the unoriginal 70s, lacking innovation.

Vibe: Depressing, dated interiors

The ambiance of Peking Dragon severely detracts from the dining experience with its outdated, dreary decor. Date nights are a definite no-go, with the dismal environment overshadowing any romance. The dull and dated setting contributes to a negative buzz surrounding the restaurant, diminishing its appeal even further.

Perks: Troublesome parking woes

Further dampening the experience is the inconvenient parking situation, with a tight lot causing troubles for guests. Reservations also seem pointless as they are not honored in a timely manner, resulting in lengthy waits for seating. On the brighter side, Peking Dragon comfortably accommodates large groups and provides quick and friendly service.

    Accommodating to dietary needs, but portion size might not justify price.
