Peking Media Restaurant

It was my boyfriend and I’s first time dining here and we couldn’t be happier. Great food, drinks & staff……. We’ll definitely be back!

Dine-In, The service was decent, and the food was average. The atmosphere was okay nothing particularly stood out. Overall, it was a decent dining experience, but I probably wouldn't go out of my way to dine there again

Take out review: Gorgeous restaurant inside, beautiful decors and interiors. Their menu also broad like other Asian restaurants, includes variety of dishes with beef pork duck, chicken, seafood and vegetables. We put in a take order with them. The order was prepared within estimated half an hour time. We liked the beef dishes, thin noodles. Triple crown (shrimp, scallop, chicken) was also good. The royal crown duck was disappointing. It was on the dryer side, not enough seasoning on it. The pancake was deep fried too much. They were very generous with us, gave us lots of side dishes, utensils and fortune cookies. Loved their FC, as its mixed with chocolate.

We really love Peking. We never needed a reservation. We have been always received with a smile. The waiter has suggested a great cocktail to me. A nice blend of Japanese and Chinese food.

We have gotten take out from here during the pandemic, and thought it was decent. We dined in for the first time today, and we are thoroughly impressed. First of all, the complimentary dishes were chilled marinated cucumbers and salted roasted peanuts. This was a Margaret Kuo's tradition and I think they even perfected the cucumbers because we asked for another and finished both plates. The owner bought the restaurant from Margaret Kuo who had previously been there for thirty some years. I had an Asian Pear Saketini. The drink was nice and strong just how I like it. I would have just added a garnish, or a pear slice into the martini glass to make it look more presentable. I would order it again! Off of the menu, we ordered a typical Szechuan appetizer with beef slices, tendon, and stomach lining in chili oil. The peanuts in the dish were fresh. The flavor was authentic and excellent. We ordered Taiwanese Fishball Soup. We got an extra Fujianese Fishball which has pork in the center, and which was actually more fresh than the Taiwanese fishballs! The broth tasted great, just like the way our mom's made it with white pepper and celery. They even added pea leaves, which is a generous addition. Next came the Oshinko (Japanese pickles) sushi rolls. The seaweed could have been a better quality. They were not crispy at all, and were cut too short, so did not close. However, the amount of oshinko put inside was generous. The pickled ginger was also great to taste. The Beef (Chow Fun) Stir Fried Wide Rice Noodles was a very good standard to pass. It was not too oily or salty. It was certainly on point. I also asked for a dish with tofu and fish, so they custom made a dish for us with Chilean sea bass and tofu. They fried both items and added a light sauce to it over Chinese broccoli. It was delectable and also great to have with white rice. Our last dish was flash fried chili popcorn chicken. This was the only dish we did not enjoy, which I honestly and politely reported. There was too much breading and not enough chicken. It was crispy and the flavor was correct, however I just could not get enough chicken even in the big bits. However, this was also off the menu and the owner just decided they could make it for us since it is my husband's favorite dish. We later chatted with the owner, Linda at the end of dinner and she told how grateful she was for letting us know since she would not have a way of knowing how to improve. She is a lovely person and we could hear her warm heart as she served each table. Two other constructive criticism I have are: there was a crack on the lamp above my table, the lights around the whole room occasionally flickered, and the number of paper towels that dispensed from the ladies room was a little much. The ambiance was not any different from when it was Margaret Kuo's of Media. I would definitely go back bringing my neighbors and friends especially for Dining Under the Stars in the summer time. I would love to chat with the owner some more because she was truly a beautiful person and hard working single mom. I would also try some more dishes, cocktails, and sashimi on and off the menu. I am grateful that this restaurant is in my local area.
