We were in town for a business conference without a personal vehicle. Wish we had known beforehand that this "restaurant" is TAKEOUT only! Pictures online looked like the potential to sit down and dine. The food that we ordered was decent, even though it was lukewarm by the time we returned with the food to our hotel. The Crescent Dumplings were not as crispy as I've experienced from other dim sum places, it was thick and gooey/glutinous. We ordered Pork & Shrimp Dumplings (large and meat filled), Shrimp Dumplings (large shrimp filling but dumpling skin does not fare well as takeout), Turnip Cake (creamy texture with adequate filling), Taro Puff (tasty though wish they were eaten hot and fresh), Crescent Dumplings (shell was not crispy and was too thick), Chow Fun (noodles had a good flavor and chewy texture), Lotus Sticky Rice (good sticky rice with some filling), Vietnamese Ice Coffee (was too chocolate-y in flavor not the sweetened espresso flavor we expected).

This is a place where you can get your quick fix for dim sum. Food is pretty decent here for a togo only place. I usually get the typical dim sum items like shrimp dumpling (har gow), shrimp rice paper, fried shrimp and chive, and pork and shrimp dumpling (xiu mai). Items I don't like as much: Fried BBQ Bun - had a sweet flavor, so it tasted odd as a savory food item. Chow fun was really bland. Same with fried rice, but technically you can add soy sauce to enhance the flavor.

Old school, hole-in-the-wall, yes it's all true and I love it that way. It's not the type of place that tries to impress you with fancy decor or trendy food, but instead relies on their quality, nostalgic-style dishes. For this reason, Peking Restaurant is, hands down, my favorite Chinese food in Orange County. Excellent food that my family and I have enjoyed repeatedly at Peking Restaurant: honey walnut shrimp, sesame chicken (just as flavorful as orange chicken and sweet & sour chicken, but for some reason underrated. It's not really all that spicy, despite the name), chop suey, steamed dumplings, beef roll/Lu-Lee roll, fried rice, chicken with mushrooms, pan fried beef noodle, mu shu pork. This restaurant knows how to make these classics just right, and your group will feel at home in their humble, family-friendly dining area. There is a sign at the front desk that you can avoid extra fees if you pay in cash. Since I always go for takeout however, ordering online requires a credit card and I've not yet found an option that lets me order online and still pay in cash at the restaurant. This is apparently their preferred form of payment, so bring plenty of cash if you plan to order in person or dine in.
