I had lunch today at the newly opened New Chicken Chinese restaurant. This location has a long history--it was originally Golden Chicken Inn, first opened in 1929, and now under new ownership with just a name change. The interior looks almost identical to before, keeping that nearly 100-year-old charm. I ordered Mongolian Beef, House Fried Rice, and a Beijing Pie. * The meal came with complimentary soup. I asked for tea and water; however, the tea wasn't included and was later charged at $3.75. * The Mongolian Beef was ordered mild-spicy. The beef quality was excellent--tender and flavorful. Compared to other places, it was less sweet, and it was cooked more with onions than green onions, giving it a lighter taste. * The House Fried Rice was a combination with beef, chicken, and shrimp. It had a clean, less-oily flavor, though the taste itself was average rather than outstanding. * The Beijing Pie was filled with beef, chicken, and shrimp, and took about 15-20 minutes to prepare. It was full of hot juices, so I recommend biting into it carefully rather than cutting it in half. Overall, the food was enjoyable and the server's service was excellent. My rating today is 4.5 out of 5. Next time, I plan to try their dumplings and wonton soup. The only downsides: parking is street only, and the restaurant is on the second floor, which may be inconvenient for those who have trouble with stairs. Still, it was a peaceful weekday lunch, and I really enjoyed soaking in the atmosphere of a restaurant with a century of history.

Kung Pao Shrimp  Came with steamed rice  Egg flower soup not pictured

So glad to try NEW CHICKEN , after some dark days it seems to be BACK! I ordered the Kung Pao Shrimp which came with steamed rice and yummy egg flower soup. I enjoyed the refreshing hot tea that I was served while waiting. They seem to specialize in a "Beijing Pie" and possibly dumplings as well which i have not yet tried. I did notice the dumplings can come either steamed or fried. The menu is fairly straight forward but certainly has some intriguing and seemingly authentic dishes, that are calling my name. Pretty sure they are open late, past 10 pm, which is a huge plus if you work until 9 pm and can still get some solid Chinese. Good vibe here so far The restaurant manager is very welcoming. If you used to love Golden Chicken Inn and have been missing it, it's a green light to give this one another shot. I'm glad I did!

Beijing Meat pie!! I'll get an order every time we go!

The star item was the Beijing meat pie. All of the food was great, but we accidentally ordered things all in the same flavor profile. Next time we will try some orange chicken or Mongolian beef. You can tell that everything is house-made-- it's fresh and delicious. We can't wait to go back!

General Tso chicken!
Jared L.

This is THE BEST General Tso's chicken I've ever had. Placed an order to go online and when I went to pick it up the guys we're very nice and welcoming. The portion size was great too! 10/10 will be back again! Best chinese food place in Oxnard hands down!

Pan-fried sole
Erica G.

Another amazing meal prepared by Lee! This time we chose the pan-fried sole dumplings, orange chicken, and of course, the ultimate dish here, lamb and green onion Beijing pies. The dumplings had so much flavor, and as recommended by the server, pan fried was the way to go. Thank you New Chicken!

House chow mein

First time going since Golden Chicken Inn closed. Was hesitant but saw other reviews & thought we would try it. It was absolutely delicious! The food was fresh & hot! Service was amazing! Complete different than Golden Chicken inn but worth the try! The chef & staff were very friendly! Definitely going back!

I came here around 3pm and it was very quiet. I was greeted by a super nice gentleman who explained the menu to me and provided recommendations. I got different dishes to try and I was really satisfied and happy with the food. I totally regret not trying the dumplings. I will be going back just to try the dumplings. The pork fried rice was my favorite. I did take my food to go but next time I will go and dine in. I think my kids would enjoy the really cool set up.

Patties and fried rice
Delia N.

Didn't disappoint!!! Being around since 1920s. Little hole in the wall - upstairs. One chief so please be patient when dishes come out. We had the fried rice with noodles and I added pineapple . Mario is super friendly and chatted about the restaurant's history. The patties were amazing!!! Big portions also!!

The booths are still there, hasn't changed much since Golden Chicken Inn.

See all

Drove into town from the dessert this evening and wanted Chinese. Checked out a few reviews and…read moreonly 2 places popped up that had at least 4 stars. After looking at menus and comparing we decided on Peking. Sure glad we did too! I have to say if you are ever in Ventura please give this place a try! First thing I noticed is this place is simple yet has a quality about it. I would bring a date here, rather maybe a second or third date. It's nice inside. Wait staff was amazing. Now to the good stuff! I ordered chicken chow fun and partner had Mushu pork and for the appetizer we ordered the paper wrapped chicken. The chicken hit the table first wrapped in tin foil. That didn't deter us at all. This was served with duck sauce and spicy mustard. The mustard was amazing but i love spice! Both were good but the mustard opened up my nasal passages and made me go wow!! Awesome! The two main dishes hit the table and we dug in. Both were great! Let me tell you how hard it is to find a good Chinese place that isn't swimming in soy and oil! This place seasoned correctly and was not greasy at all!! I will tell you this; if you like fast Chinese food like Panda Express and that is what you think of Chinese food then stay there. Here you'll get properly seasoned fair. Over all I recommend and when back in Ventura will visit again for sure! The pictures don't do this place justice.

Come here often for their lunch specials as it is close to work. One of the more authentic Chinese…read morerestaurants in Ventura. The food is consistently good. Everything is flavorful without the greasiness. I like that they don't over season or drown their food in sauce so it seems healthier too. Welcoming staff and attentive service. They serve dim sum on the weekends so will have to come back to try that.
