A long time staple of Morgantown! Can’t beat the combination platters for lunch. They are good, filling and more than reasonably priced! Even comes with a soup. Plenty of good options to choose from at dinner time as well. All while providing a nice atmosphere

Peking House is such a mixed bag. As a Morgantown native, I’ve eaten their food since I’ve been a kid, and their decline has become MUCH more notable within these past few years. For starters, the food in-house versus takeout is completely different. I understand there will be some differences here and there, but the food eaten in-house feels leagues more fresh than to-go. Tonight I ordered the General Chicken and Chicken Fried Rice, and the white rice (which I had asked them to not include despite coming with the General Chicken), was cold and hard. The type of rice you’d expect that would be left out for hours. The breading on the Chicken was falling apart, and it was more onions and peppers than chicken. The Fried Rice was fine, although it just tastes like the white rice with some veggies and soy sauce tossed in. The service was abhorrent. The service was never something good in the first place (I recall multiple times were the hostess just seemed irritated to even be there), but this time especially was the worst. When I called to place my order, I was immediately met with, “What do you want?”, as if I did something wrong by calling them. No greeting, no polite tone, no nothing. To add insult to injury, the guy scolded me for asking for no white rice, and quite literally hung up at the very end, not giving me a time or anything. I’m almost certain the only reason why his attitude changed when I arrived was because he knew my grandparents extremely well and likely recognized me, but I’ve never gotten worse to-go service ever. It almost seems like they’re somewhat proud of this service though, as there’s a sign featured right before the kitchen that says something to the affect of, “we’re known for warm beer, poor service,” and some third thing I can’t remember. It also doesn’t help that instead of the tv at the bar displaying anything even remotely appropriate for a Chinese restaurant (let alone a restaurant at all), it’s Fox News. The only upsides here are the prices. I don’t think they’re horrible, but considering the quality and service, you get what you pay for. It’s such a mixed bag, but I couldn’t recommend them over some of the other Chinese businesses in town.
