Peking Restaurant

This was by far THE WORST restaurant I have ever encountered. I honestly don’t know where to start. The delivery took AN HOUR AND A HALF to the point where my family and I were starving, and to top it off, they got our order wrong AND the food tasted (pardon me for my language) like straight up SHIT.
We called the restaurant to ask why they didn’t send us the cream cheese wonton that we ordered and if they could possibly send us another sauce for the orange chicken; the sauce tasted like creamy water with a few orange slice plopped in it. Their wonton soup was also watered down, but we disregarded it. So the lady reluctantly agreed to send a new one in.
When the food arrived the guy who delivered it was so DISRESPECTFUL, he grabbed the watered down orange chicken sauce out of my hands and he quickly walked away and kept yelling «ok thank you,» while clearly I wasn’t done talking to him. We thought we’d just let it go, but the second orange chicken sauce tasted exactly the same as first one only they added a bunch of salt to it! And to top it off the cream cheese wontons that they charged us twice (they never gave us the first ones we ordered so we had to reorder) WAS BASICALLY DRIED UP OIL. We had had enough so we called again and this time demanded a refund BUT THE LADY REFUSED.
Save your time, money, and stomachs and don’t ever order from this Peking Restaurant. Disgusting. Never again.

We ordered a spicy Sichuan tofu and after we waited for ONE AND A HALF HOUR the food finally came. With all the excitement and hunger, only did we find PLAIN WHITE TOFU in the box, not a single shade of red spice to be found. Seriously we could not believe that we paid 7 dollars for a box of tasteless tofu. So we called the restaurant and the lady said she made food for white people so we shouldn’t expect much. So I started bargaining with her in Mandarin to present myself as a Chinese customer. I demanded that we either have our money back or have a replacement. The lady refused. She insisted that the restaurant has been opened for 20 years and I insisted I had never tasted Chinese food like this in 20 years (as a Chinese). Finally, she told me to do whatever I want and she couldn’t care less. She could have just apologize but she talked to me as if I was wrong for expecting too much. What kind of customer service is this. Guys, I am sorry, but not all Chinese are like this.

It took them 2 hrs to deliver. I ordered at 5:05 and it arrived at 6:50, 30 minutes passed when they said. I live .8 miles away. And i ordered $ 25 worth of food! Not even a lot.
The food was cold. SUPER cold. Like it sat out for an hour before they brought it. Not ok. Just not ok. The food was mediocre and there was not enough sauce on the orange chicken. Dumplings were meh. And cold. All around not cool.

Bland food, didn’t tatse fresh.
They must use all canned or frozen vegetables?
The Mongolian beef was very chewy and the quality was poor. The wonton soup had no flavor and was pretty disappointing.
Yan flower downtown is way superior, and twice as quick.
Good luck

This is the worst Chinese food I have ever tasted. The chow fun and fried rice were inedible because it appeared that an entire shaker of pepper was poured over both of them. The sesame chicken was just dry breast in batter. Every piece was stuck together, and it was greasy and soggy. The sauce they gave us had no taste and was watery. The soup had absolutely no flavor at all. Plus it took 90 minutes to get our order. We were going to use this restaurant for a business function for 100 people in December. So glad we tried them out first because we will never go back. So sorry I had to give them even one star. I have never written a Unilocal review before, but others should be warned. We should have taken out $ 36 and just flushed it down the toilet. What a waste.

The fact that there is a delivery option around Santa Cruz that isn’t pizza is pretty awesome. I ordered steamed rice, walnut shrimp, spring rolls, and a bowl of hot & sour soup.
I wasn’t expecting the walnut shrimp to be cold, but I was okay with something different. Delivery took a little under an hour to downtown SC, and the lad who delivered my food seemed nice. The sesame balls and other goodies were an added bonus. The spring rolls are well worth it; the sweet and sour sauce could be improved.
As for the hot and sour soup, it was warm and decent. I’ve had better, but still is tasty enough for not having to leave my house while having to catch up on copious amounts of school work. I might try and see what their main location is about sometime in the future.

My wife called around 10:30 pm and the owner stated he would stay open for us. The location is not impressive but the hospitality, friendliness and customer service was noteworthy. The food was hot, tasty and plentiful. This is a haven for the weary and hungry!

Judy the owner just closed but she answered our knock as two weary travelers and welcomed us in with what seemed like fresh home cooking and light conversation wishing us luck on our journey. Super sweet woman.

Was looking for a Chinese place that was open at about 10pm and found this place! I’ll admit when I walked in, I wasn’t so impressed. However, when I ordered, the food came out and it tasted really good and she always brought extra. For $ 30, my friend and had a great meal and we’re able to have a load of leftovers for the next day.
Not the most romantic atmosphere but comfy and great food for a low price.

Even when it’s bad, I don’t ever leave a 1 star review. This place deserves a negative star review. When my family came here for dinner, the place was really dirty. We should have left but my son was hungry and we were already there. There was food all over the other tables and we were the only ones in the restaurant. The food tasted alright going down until it all came back up 20 minutes later. My son and I raced to the bathroom just in time. Thank god we have two bathrooms. I spent the next couple hours planted next to the toilet. That was the worst food poisoning I have ever had and considered calling the health department.

Solid 4 stars. I will definitely go back. It is very laid back and has cheesy décor, which I loved. A comfortable, relaxing place to grab a bite to eat. I had egg rolls, wonton soup and Kung Pao chicken. I recommend trying it out.

Took 2 hours after ordering on GrubHub before it got to my door. It was 30 minutes slower than GrubHub expected delivery time. Checked traffic conditions and there was no traffic on the freeway. Food arrived cold. Ordered the walnut shrimp and the beef chow mein. Beef was inedible, about the same texture as a piece of gum with all the flavor sucked out. walnut shrimp had pineapples and broccoli in it. like what? I’m Chinese, and I’ve eaten at many Chinese restaurants and this is the first time I’ve ever gotten walnut shrimp with ingredients besides walnuts and shrimp.
SUMMARY: bland food, delivery arrived cold, chewy beef, inedible.

Well it was bound to happen, this is my first 1 star review out of 223. I walked into this place the other day by chance and I didn’t check Unilocal until I sat down and it was then that I noticed they had only 2−½ stars. I try to not to be biased by the reviews anyways and we really wanted Chinese food so we went for it. The first thing I noticed besides the place was empty was that there were 2 tables with piles of dirty plates on them. The next thing I noticed was how dirty the table we were sat at was but we were hungry…
We ordered food and it came pretty quickly (there was no one there) and it actually tasted pretty good. I was thinking Unilocal was wrong (sorry Unilocal) so we chowed it down ignoring the other 1 star reviews complaining of food poisoning. Well, luckily when we got home we have 2 bathrooms so we didn’t have to battle for the toilets as both my girlfriend and I had «emergencies». Luckily for me that’s all the fallout I got from the meal. My poor girlfriend however was throwing up all night.
For whatever it’s worth, the rice was cooked perfectly and the food did taste good but what good is that if your body will try to expel it the second you step out the door.
Sorry Peking, not coming back.

The delivery was crazy fast but the food was not the best. The fried rice was really great and the sesame chicken was good but the sauce was awful; it had little to no flavor and I didn’t like it. Also I’m glad the sauce was separate from the chicken since the sauce was gross. The Crab Rangoon was also lacking in flavor; but they were cute :) The red sauce tasted weird and gross. I would try this place again but the only thing I would get again from this order is the fried rice.

I’m going to have to give a 4-​Star and root for the underdog here! I ordered delivery on a Tuesday for lunch and it took a solid hour to arrive, but the food was pretty tasty and warm upon arrival.
The shrimp with snow peas was solid. It needed some salt and hot sauce, but it was light and fresh. Also, I loved the veggie spring rolls.
I have to admit, I was a little confused by the red sauce they sent (guessing it was for the veggie spring rolls?). It was like a thick very sweet ketchup. The taste wasn’t bad, but is wasn’t the sweet and sour sauce I’m used too. Also, they sent free fried wontons. At first I thought they forgot to add in the crab, but then I realized they weren’t meant to have any.
Overall, I’d order from here again. Especially since they are one of the only places delivering to my area for lunch during the week ;-)

Horrible horrible horrible. I am a big chinese food fan, even bad chinese, but this is BEYOND BAD.
Hot and sour soup was luke warm, neither hot nor sour, the only taste is something weird I can’t recognize or have ever had in chinese food. Two thumbs down on the soup. Literally inedible.
The eggroll that came with my order was extremely greasy, cold and tasted weird. Two thumbs down on the eggroll. Again, inedible.
Pork Chow Fun HORRIBLE. Pork is tough and stringy, sauce is tasteless and it also has that weird flavor I can’t place. Sadly, two bites and it is inedible.
Mongolian beef has some taste and a touch of heat but way too much sugar and the beef is so tough as a boot. The ‘crispy’ noodles were so overcooked I literally could not bite them and I have good teeth!
All in all I spent upwards of $ 25 and managed to pick out about $ 3 worth so I dind’t starve for the rest of the day.
Two thumbs DOWN DOWN DOWN. They should be ashamed of themselves to put horrible food out like that.

I just came back from this place and I pray to the Gods I don’t have food poisoning a in hour. Walnut shrimp was cold… the whole dish. Prawn were not battered. I supposed that is a good thing because I was able to see that some of the shrimp was not properly deveined. The chicken salad sucked. My co-​worker had a THICK black hair in her spring roll. The waiter then says «I’m so sorry, let me bring you another one.» HUH? Needless to say when we left there was SO MUCH food left over on the table;we took nothing in a to go box. Never again. Holy Hell.

The food was fine by me. Fired rice was above average for me compared to the other 6 Chinese places that are within 3 miles of Soquel/​/​Capitola. Also got the Mongolian beef which was average.
Total family run place. It was fairly humorous to hear the wife (I assume) and cook (husband) bicker in the kitchen. It was totally unprofessional as I am guessing half of what was said was not nice considering the tone of the mans voice, but still funny.
Food i think 3.5 stars, but the restaurant its self 1 star. Old, dirty, and very outdated. Half the booths looked like they were falling apart, but I got take out so yea.

I ordered this from Grubhub. Gave 2 stars only because the food arrived quick; although perhaps if they hadn’t rushed, they might have avoided making mistakes.
I ordered the basic fried rice, orange chicken, and egg rolls.
when they delivered, they told me that I had gotten a couple of things on the house — some fried won ton things and some sesame seed balls. Already, I knew this was a bad sign, and thought to myself, «uh oh, what did they screw up?»
The basic fried rice was the only thing that turned out just okay.
The orange chicken I barely touched because the sauce was tasteless. I don’t think they put any flavor in it at all.
The egg rolls were good — until you hit the spots where it wasn’t cooked all the way through and you got runny egg :-(gross!
The fried won tons were a little tasty, but there was no substance to them… there were 3 sesame seed balls (they are pretty little) and these free extras did not make up for the fact that the orange chicken was completely tasteless and I could only eat half of the egg rolls.
I will never be eating here again.

Pros: chow mein was chow mein
Free calendar.
Cons: deliver was an hour even though were right down the street. Game was over by the time we got the food we ordered at half time.
Fried noodles literally meant that an entire container of crunchy noodle topping had some shrimp involved.
The sauces weren’t even applied to the meat and had no flavor. I mean sesame chicken with a weird opaque whitish sauce? Never seen that before. My pot head roommate liked the chow mein. It was fine. Which is all I really wanted. My other roommate turned down the generals flavorless drizzle for ketchup. No joke. Chicken nuggets with ketchup. I can’t stress enough how little flavor the sauces had. I’ve never been disappointed with Chinese food in my entire life but I would literally cook and eat my cat before ordering this again. At least it would be hot. Also, even the fortunes sucked. One literally said: you are enamored by Chinese culture. Seriously? That’s not a fortune that’s a guess
