Peking Chinese Restaurant

This hidden gem was great! I haven't found a Chinese food place that I love around here and now I…read morethink I have! Staff were super friendly and attentive. They do a crazy amount of takeout. Drinks and food were solid!

We've eaten here a number of times. Dining in seems to be the way to go. This last time…read moretonight was very disappointing. I called and asked if they did quarts for take out, she said they did. I asked for a quart of chicken and broccoli and a quart of sesame chicken. So I pick it up and it's $39. I'm alittle confused and get home to find that it's plastic trays, that might be a quart in volume. I'm not sure but I got a couple of pints of rice too so looking at the pint of rice next to the "quart" I can't see that it's correct. Plus half the sesame chicken tray was broccoli, I want the chicken not broccoli. The price seems way high. Now we like the food here and have been dissapointed with every take out order so I wouldn't recommend it but dinning in seems to be larger portions for less money. And the food is the best Chinese food we've found near Auburn so far. No MSG which is nice. I have to say this last order left a bad taste and I doubt we will be going back. Just a bummer.

We arrived around 4pm so they must of switched over from lunch to dinner. There were a lot of trays that had very little food in them, empty or dried out. I did get creeped out when I saw behind the waitress stands where the soda machines are along with other junk stored back there, it just looked so dirty & gross. I was disgusted and soooooo afraid of eating the food there & drinking from the cups. I was praying that I wouldn't get sick. Its funny because I kept this thought to myself & my friend that was also with us happened to say something to me about how the restaurant was dirty & then I shared my thoughts with her and she was hoping not to get sick either..........Well we did get lucky & neither of us got sick but I definitely wouldn't come back to eat in here. A few of the bowls had water in them & some particles after being washed which was gross. We went to get some ice cream & the water bin that the ice cream scoop was in was sooo disgusting I was afraid to get ice cream. My guess is it's just from the different flavors of ice cream mixed in with the water that is used to rinse off the ice cream?? Staff needs to change the water more often. Their chicken tenders were terrible & dried out. The only thing that tasted fresh was their donuts but that was only because I caught a new batch that had been brought out. The ladies room was dirty even the light socket (see my photo) like do they even have a cleaning crew?? I'm curious what kind of rating that they have from the food inspector?? We never got an itemized reciept, just one that said how much we owe & this drives me crazy as if restuarants are trying to hide charges when they don't give you an itemized one, which we know that it can be done. We were curious how much the buffet was & how much the drinks were so I had asked on my way out. I couldn't believe that this place was a little busy as if the customers in here were repeat ones because I was just so creeped out with the dirtiness of this restaurant & the presentation of the food. The sushi looked fresh but didn't taste very good. A lot of staff was standing around the bar, to bad they weren't keeping themselves busy by cleaning up the place. There was also a family of a Mom & Dad with two young boys. The youngest boy was walking all over the booth seat with his shoes on & climbing all over the table. They even let the older boy (probably 8yrs old) head up to the buffet by himself. It's just surprising how families can't behave when out in public & forget that they're not at home. Sorry, but I can't recommend eating at this place. Save your money & health and stay away.

I just remember going there with my grandmother as a kid....anyways - located at the very end is Xin's. Now some may pass this place up, but DON'T! We were very impressed. Yes, it's on the small side, but the portions aren't. You get your money's worth. It has a small bar with bar stools and a couple of tvs. The seating consists of a few regular tables and a few high tables. The menu isn't overloaded like a lot of Chinese restaurants may be. It's like they chose only the best. The service was AWESOME!! Now the food - I have to say, I've eaten at a lot of different Chinese restaurants and this one has a little bit more "YUM" to their food. For example, their beef teriyaki on a stick was tender. I didn't have to rip it off the stick with everything I got. It just easily came off and tasted amazing. The chicken wings were cooked perfectly all the way through and again, very good. And their crab rangoons had something tasty in them, I actually went back for more. And lastly, the House Lo Mein was not mushy but perfectly cooked noodles and just tasted so good. Even their fortune cookies, which I usually pass up, tasted fresh, not dry and blah. Overall, we will definitely be back to try other dishes. So, if you're ever in this area - stop on by! You'll be glad you did!! Looking forward to going back! :)

Not wanting to…read morewaste my trip, I looked around for another Chinese food restaurant, and found this place not too far away. The presentation wasn't that great - the menu above the counter was poorly-lit and difficult to read, and the lunch specials were off to the side - but I didn't give up. I made my order - the Sweet and Sour lunch special - and sat down to wait for it. It was a fairly short wait - I'm not sure what the other reviewers are talking about when they say their food takes too long - and soon, I was on my way home with my meal. I wasn't expecting much, since Golden City didn't even show up when I searched for nearby Chinese restaurants before - but, it turns out, the food was actually very good. The taste was wonderful, the sauce was abundant, and the portions were great for the price. The only thing I didn't really like - and this is purely a matter of personal preference, not a matter of actual quality - was that the rice was a little too soft for my taste. Still, I enjoyed the meal quite a lot. I would definitely go there again.
