  • Almost Creative

    Dishes are fresh and authentic, though some may seem average.

  • Bad Taste

Vibe: Drab, stale atmosphere

Peking Gourmet's ambiance leaves a lot to be desired, with outdated decor in need of significant updates. From worn tables to neglected restrooms, there's a certain 'run down' vibe that can't be overlooked. The rushed feeling and lack of privacy also make it less than ideal for a romantic date night. In the trending city life full of buzz, this restaurant unsurprisingly struggles with its outdated character.

  • Great To Entertain

    Soothing music enhances dining, creating a great environment and enjoyable company.

  • Bad For Dates

    Rushed feeling, lacks privacy; fiancé disliked experience.

Perks: Impeccable group-friendly service

Despite parking being a challenging affair during peak hours, Peking Gourmet does quite well on the service front. They manage to accommodate large groups comfortably with attentive service, and show the same attentiveness when serving families with children. The overall ambiance may be lacking, but the staff endeavor to keep the vibes friendly.

  • Great For Groups

    Able to accommodate a large group comfortably with attentive service.

  • Hard To Reserve

    Reservations disregarded, didn't honor booking leading to problems.
