A small restaurant next to the bigger Seafood Paradise with a fairly large menu of Northern China cuisine. We ordered the special lunches, $13 for meats and $15 seafood, beef with Chinese broccoli and Kungpao 3 ingredients, beef, chicken, pork. It comes with hot and sour soup. Portion was generous, very good value, especially when most Chinese restaurants dropped their loss-leader lunch specials after CoVid19. The chef is Taiwanese but he cooks authentic Northern China food, i.e. fresh, natural, no excess spices or sugar. I dined in a few renown restaurants in Beijing and like this cuisine. Will come back and try their crispy chicken and other specialty items.

Delicious food served not super hot, but just the right temperature from soup to the main course. One of those few authentic Chinese restaurants I've dined in so far. There's a feeling that you just entered a Chinese kitchen with its aroma and oriental interior.

Once again we had the best tasting meal of our trip to LA at the Peking Restaurant. We have enjoyed the superb potstickers and other dishes for the past 37 years. They are wrapped and made in the authentic Northern Chinese style, with twice the size and twice the crispy surface area of other restaurants that simply try to pan fry a regular short dumpling. I found out that the filling ingredients are still chopped by the same 90 year old chef, and she still sometimes cooks at the wok! Northern style dumplings are best enjoyed with a splash of vinegar, which they had on the table along with soy and chili sauces. We also discovered a new favorite dish, chopped long beans and ground pork stir fried with fermented black beans and peppers. The sliced fish and tofu in broad bean sauce was also great. Both dishes I had not seen elsewhere. We got the smaller lunch special size for both and they were easily enough to share. Other standout dishes we've had before include the best basil eggplant -- I used to dislike this vegetable until I had their basil eggplant (for more on this, check www.love2chow.com and search eggplant). The boiled dumpling filled with pork and cabbage, the Chinese chive stuffed pan fried dumpling, sliced fish with special wine sauce and hand made noodles are also delicious. This place has been serving authentic Peking/Beijing homestyle foods for the past 41 years. The decor has not changed much. It is clean, simple and a bit dated, with ample round tables around which to enjoy great Chinese food and conversation. While they serve tasty versions of standard Chinese restaurant fare, they also have lots of unique choices. They have photos of many dishes, so try something new!

I was actually afraid to go into Peking because it is hidden in a small shopping center location had a couple of sketchy cars and people. It's also surrounded by construction areas at the moment- so we weren't sure if he was open or not. I was even more skeptical when I saw the outside of the location, and how the signs look- not the best if I'm being completely honest. We walked in, and we're looking around to see if there was someone available and the server was so nice and seemed excited that we arrived to dine in. She was so sweet, immediately sat us down and took our drink orders. She had one other table that was dining in, and they knew each other pretty well. Then our food came and every single thing was AMAZING!!! Everything was fresh, full of flavor, hot, and authentic! Seriously. Give this place a shot. Do not be afraid of the area; or of the dated look. This place is legit. The service is quick, the take out orders are more than the dine ins. I loved it from the beginning to the end and I'm so sad I only went once during my trip- but I'll be back!
