The Peking Restaurant - Richmond

The atmosphere is refined and traditional. yes, there is a hint on a market smell, only enough to let me think of chinatown nyc, not inappropriate in an authentic Chinese restaurant. we tried two dishes, the seven spices chicken and another one from the menu of dinner specials. both were delicious, with lots of fresh vegetables perfectly steamed and in a beautiful sauce. the service was fast. mixed drinks well. edible for a quiet evening meal with quiet entertainment.

A good meal. vegetable lo my was delicious, with just a little chili. the homestyle pancakes of my wife (tofu) with vegetables in brown sauce was even better. free Chinese tee. good service, almost elegant environment and cost-effective.AKA peking restaurant.

Really good chinese food and convenient if you live downtown. The menu is huge and different from the other run of the mill chinese places in town. The hot and sour soup is the best in town, and I've had them all. It has an assortment of bamboo, meat, mushrooms, and isn't just broth and corn syrup with tofu that you get elsewhere. The staff is really friendly and they've been around before most of the other businesses in the slip.
