Peking Gourmet

portion was huge, dumplings were crispy on the outside and soft inside, battered shrimp was so crispy and delicious with the sauce, beef with the veggies was amazing quality, black bean noodles had fresh veggies as well, and the assorted veggie and meat plate was delicious 10/10 recommend!!

Portions and Prawns are huge. The kimchi is sweet. Mien is umami flavored with chew. Great value and flavor but bathrooms need a makeover. This is conveniently located in a strip mall next to automotive repair and maintenance shops. You can tell they are great value and taste when you see a bunch of business men and their constituents dinning with Tsingtao, Cast and Soju. Make sure you get the 3 flavor Chachiang Jiajang mien and not the regular which has no chunks of shrimp, scallops, squids, and crispy pork. We also added shrimp fried rice and fried meat dumplings. I want to come back to try the sweet and sour pork/chicken and jjambong.

Came here for some noodles on New Year's day. Noodles for longevity, right!? Overall food was pretty good, but my favorite part was the kimchi. Ordered two noodle dishes, the Jajangmyeon and the Jjamppong which are two Korean dishes I've had before, but not here. I will saw that these are two dishes that are somewhat nostalgic, since I've had them a good amount of times as a child. As with many dishes like that, there is a certain flavor I'm expecting. These two were not exactly that, but still pretty good in general. The Jajangmyeon (black bean noodle) has that really savory (slightly sweet) black bean sauce with the chewy noodles. If you have never had this dish, the dark color might scare you off, but give it a try, the flavor is not as intimidating as the overall look is. There's chopped up onions, other vegetables and small pieces of beef inside. The overall flavor was there, but I think it just needed that flavor more concentrated. The Jjamppong which is a spicy soup was comforting on a cold New Years morning. There's carrots, onions, zucchini, squid and shrimp in this one. It's not as spicy as it appears from the color and I'd actually enjoy it more if it had more spice. Along with that you get that "seafood" flavor, so if that's not your thing, be warned. I believe the noodles are the same type as in the Jajangmyeon. This is a Chinese/Korean restaurant, as opposed to solely Korean, and they only give out one banchan, the kimchi. I was actually surprised that it was so good. It's sweeter in flavor than usual and of course has the slight spice and sour pickled flavor. Got several refills of this one. It's a pretty basic designed place with lots of tables. There appeared to be many larger groups being accommodated for the holiday. Even though it was quite busy, service was quick and attentive. If you are looking for some of the best kimchi, along with the entrees, try this place out.

Family style Chinese-korean establishment. Large Portions, fair prices n decent service. Good to go with 4+ people so food can be shared. Jajangmyeon=savory, caramel black bean sauce over thick, slightly chewy wheat flour noodles gives a unique taste and texture.

I drive up from San Diego for this, and it's so worth it every time. 2019: Peking gourmet is delicious. As good as in Korea for sure. UPDATE 2020: yup, still delicious. Also, I saw no mention of this, so I will. PEOPLE, PLEASE TRY THEIR 간짜장. IT. IS. SO. DANG. GOOD. Change your life with 간짜장, you won't regret it. 😍 UPDATE 2021 (6/2021): this place is so good that updating my review over the years is almost becoming pointless.... BUT, I realized that last year I shouted out the 간짜장 without even posting a pic! I added a few more photos to help out my fellow noodle lovers. Eat your heart out guys. Leave some for me tho. *pro tip, ALWAYS get your sauce on the side for entree orders (pork, shrimps, etc) . Dip and go as you eat. This way, you get that crunch even during the 4th quarter of your meal. #winning #yourwelcome UPDATE 2022: Yup, still Yes. UPDATE 2023 (5/13/23): Stillllll yes! I came in just half an hour before closing due to traffic driving up from San Diego. But the owner and staff still greeted me with kindness, and my food was as AMAZING as always. Thank you guys
