Come here often for their lunch specials as it is close to work. One of the more authentic Chinese restaurants 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. read more

Drove into town from the dessert this evening and wanted Chinese. Checked out a few reviews and only 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. read more

Looking for a great Chinese restaurant? Look no further. This food place is my go to place in this area. The staff is super friendly and fast. The food here just tastes so good. The plus is that besides main Chinese dishes, they also serve dim sum. My go to are the xia long bao, pan fried noodles, fried tofu, and any of the soup. The ambiance is casual, but enough for a date, family gathering, and friend lunch date. The seating is all inside. Don't be afraid to bring a big group, they have tables that can sit 8. They also do takeout and are great about any food allergies. Parking is in a plaza, so plenty to go around. read more

Service is outstanding. Shout out to the bus boy! His name is Lennon. I am dehydrated after traveling across the country. Lennon said, I've got your back. He showed up every time my drink was getting low. He is a keeper. We ordered the lunch deal. We started out with the egg flower soup. It was better than most places. It is a thicker consistency that we love. Hubby loved the salad. He said it is perfect. Lettuce & carrots are fresh. The crunchy wonton strips were yummy. We both loved the Kung pao chicken. Great spice, flavor, and peanuts. The chicken was tender. We thought that the orange chicken was just ok. We felt the same about the fried rice. We will be returning customers. I hope that Lennon is working when we come back. read more

I'm spoiled from too many years eating great food in LA Chinatown and have found nothing to compare in Ventura County (yet). But this place isn't bad and has become my local go-to for Sichuan. The setting is fun too - old school vinyl booths and family-size tables in a cozy, paneled ding room w all the right wall hangings. Friendly, efficient staff completes the picture. read more

My friend and I tried this spot for lunch and were immediately impressed. I've been eyeing this spot for years but it's just a little far from me so that's the only reason I hadn't ventured in here sooner. We came for the lunch specials and left knowing we had found a great new Chinese spot. The restaurant is so much cuter than I would have ever known from the exterior. Walking inside it was cozy and more dimly lit which I love as it sets the vibe for a comfortable meal. They had plenty of large tables to accommodate big groups but I was happy we got a comfortable booth for two. The decor was traditional yet warm and inviting. I also liked that from where I sat I had a good view of the kitchen, the kitchen looked super clean and organized in the back. Can't say I've always felt this way at traditional mom and pop restaurants. Here it's very clean and sanitary which is so important! The staff were genuinely all super friendly. We felt welcome from the moment we walked in, throughout our meal, and when we left. We were seated right away at lunch rush and we were taken very good care of. Our waitress was very friendly and helpful. I like that all of the staff here help each other out as our waters always remained filled and one of the gals checked up on us at the end to see how we enjoyed our meal, giving us recommendations for next time. Lovely service. The food overall was very very good. I enjoyed my meal a lot. The starter egg drop soup and salad that come with the lunch special was so fire. Love me some good egg drop soup. I ordered the peppered shrimp for my main. It was cooked perfectly and had a crispy peppery batter, it was phenomenal. Normally I like an overly sauced dish but this was so good. Definitely would recommend if you don't mind some peppery flavors. My friend and I split the har gow dumplings and the flavors were delicious. At first I was worried as the wrapper was sticky and hard to get out of the little pot but flavor wise it was as good as I could have hoped for. Their chili oil here is also really tasty. My meal here was a 4.5/5. Wonderful! Pricing is very reasonable. For lunch special and splitting dumplings the bill was about $20 each before tip. Pretty good price for lunch if I say so myself. This place hit all of the marks, cute restaurant, reasonable prices, tasty food, and super kind service. I'll definitely be back now that this spot is on my radar. read more

Peking is so good! I forgot to take photos but got the honey walnut shrimp ginger scallion fish. Amazing.

Big portions of fried rice. Ordered the fried wonton expecting cream cheese wonton but it was just an empty fried wonton

We just moved from Camarillo to Ventura, and since this place is close to us, we had to give it a try and wow, we're so glad we did! The service was amazing our server was super friendly, on top of everything, and really attentive. The hot & sour and egg drop soups were both sooo good My husband ordered the Mongolian beef and absolutely loved it! I got the honey walnut shrimp, which I'd rate about a 7.5/10 still tasty, and I have a feeling a lot of their dishes are going to be delicious. Can't wait to come back and try more, especially with how great the reviews are! read more

Nice, quiet restaurant with friendly and attentive service for a late lunch on a Sunday. Had the west lake beef soup and it was light and delicious. Enjoyed the sizzling seafood although it didn't have squid, just fish fillet and shrimp. Chinese broccoli with black mushroom was tasty and the only dish we weren't crazy of was the imperial shrimp, had I known it was breaded and fried, we would've never ordered it. Loved the fried rice. It was a very satisfying late lunch. read more

Peking restaurant is a hidden gem! Amazing lunch specials (tues-sat!!), very cozy interior with booth seating, and great service. We came by for lunch Saturday around 1ish and ordered the kung pao chicken, honey walnut shrimp, and orange chicken lunch special. Each lunch special is served with a salad with a creamy dressing, your choice of egg drop soup or hot and sour soup, and steamed or fried rice. It was a great deal and so filling. I enjoyed every dish and will order the kung pao chicken medium spicy next time! We ordered mild and felt like it could use a little bit more kick. read more

Came here for a date night on the weekend and what a treat it was! Employees were knowledgable, timely, and friendly. The restaurant is clean and well-decorated. Food was wonderful, everything tasted delicious and fresh. We ordered several dishes and enjoyed each one of them. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone in search of tasty Chinese food in the 805. Tips: -Peking duck on the menu notes that there is a two hour ahead notice required. -We did have to ask for the dim sum menu specifically, it is separate from the main menu. read more

Solid place for a variety of Chinese food flavors and dishes; came here twice in a week, preferred their EZ takeout ordering online, then pick up to eat at home. Good quality and wide menu for meats, seafood, veggies, noodle and rice dishes, appetizers plus dim sum (on wkends). Casual ambience, friendly service (efficient but slower) and moderate pricing. Overall 3.5+ rating for good eats. Expect to pay $13-15pp for lunch specials, or $15-25pp for dinner. Indoor dining has 15-20 booths/tables, so if busy mealtime hours, there may be a wait. Today we tried a few Dim Sum dishes to start - our fave was the steamed pork soup dumplings, tasty! Also a big fan of their Mu Shu Pork ... meat, veggies and egg stir-fried then wrapped in warm pancake wrapper served with Hoisin sauce - delicious! Can't find this dish very often, so i enjoyed it both times ordering food here. Plenty to choose from on the menu, and they also have luncheon specials that come with soup/salad/app during afternoon hours. Decent spot if you're craving some Chinese food, and not looking for a fast food restaurant. Enjoy!! read more

Clean, traditional, & well maintained restaurant. We opted to try their bao as requested. While I didn't get much soul in the bao itself, they gave a bowl which looks to be like juice to top it. It was flavorful and not dry. The wonton also had a surprisingly burst of sweet and savory but no where near spicy despite the chili flakes. The crispy noodles were good. As it was thinner noodles, the gravy sauce drenched also soften it up making it a different texture that you expect from this dish. Service was great! Quick and attentive to not just our food but water too! We grabbed boba prior so this was just a snack meal for our party! read more

Food was good, rice portion was rather small today. Wasn't quite what they usually serve. Service was good and place was clean.

Fried Rice????? This was hardly fried rice, totally bummed. I understand it's Christmas and it's busy, but this was more white rice with a tinge of beige and one small morsel of fried egg in the whole container. I was so looking forward to my order but was disappointed. Mongolian Beef was quite bland and fatty, I'm glad I paid extra for a little container of hoisen, the walnut shrimp was great...but my order was just about $70 for these and an order of crab Rangoon read more

Delicious food, lightning fast delivery. I will be ordering again. Thank you very much!

This was a takeout order. Overall, the flavors were mild compared to previous visits, with seasoning noticeably lighter this time. * Kung Pao Chicken: Very tasty, with a nice spice level. 4.5/5 * Mongolian Beef: Although it lacked a bit of sweetness, the beef was tender and enjoyable, though slightly under-seasoned. 4.0/5 * Chinese Broccoli with Oyster Sauce: Perhaps due to being a takeout item, the sauce was watered down and lacked intensity. 3.0/5 * Seafood Chow Fun: Unfortunately, it was quite bland. 3.0/5 * Fried Rice with Three Flavors: Delicious and well-seasoned. 4.5/5 * Imperial Shrimp: First time ordering, but not quite to my taste, so I won't rate this one. In general, it was a decent meal, but it seems the seasoning has changed, as all dishes tasted a bit under-salted compared to before. Overall Rating: 3.625/5 read more

Had a great Birthday dinner with friends, the food was outstanding and service exceptional will go back soon.

Food seems really variable to me. I went in there and ordered a tofu dish which I really enjoyed. So, we went back four or five times more over the last few months. During the most recent trip, the food was basically inedible (yes, that bad). We also brought two friends with us for that diner, and they all complained. My significant other is Chinese, and she keeps referring to this place as "so-so." I'm not giving it a complete thumbs down, because it has been good (at least for me) some nights. Hit or miss place. The one thing that has not be variable is the service, which was good each time. read more

I quite enjoyed having dinner here at this restaurant. We ordered the Peking Dinner which is a complete dinner for $22.99 per person. It includes soup, 3 different appetizers, rice and choice of one entree for each person in the party. Hot tea was also free. I thought the food here was quite excellent, the portions were generous, the service was attentive and the place was neat and clean. I've never eaten at this particular restaurant before, but I will be back. read more

First time trying this restaurant tonight before a concert and we were in a bit of a rush. I let them know and appreciated how understanding and accommodating the staff and waiter was. The appetizer sampler was deliciously prepared. I am particularly picky about egg rolls, but they are simple with cabbage and carrots and crispy without the soggy layer on the shell that most restaurants serve because they were frozen. The chicken in the chow mein was skillfully silkened and the noodles were part crunchy and saucy. Overall, a great experience. read more

GETTING HERE: Located in the CVS/Vons shopping center (Victoria Plaza) across from Buena High School. Look for Menchie's or the Hallmark store and you're right on track. REVIEW: First and foremost, great service means a lot to me, and in this situation the service was really good. I am rounding up to 4 stars based on this fact. Also, I will come back at least one more time to give them another try if only based on service alone. Sincere and friendly service goes a long way! The ambience is dark, but had an open feeling. The décor inside the restaurant is a vibe I can't quite describe but very welcoming. It seems Peking is a Ventura icon and I have only just eaten here! Thanks again as always to Yelp! :) My guest and I arrived during lunch and they were a tad busy. But we were seated quickly and our orders were taken just as quick. Much appreciated. I ordered the Shrimp Curry and my guest ordered the Jade Shrimp lunch specials. Hot and Sour soup was so tasty. My guest loved the small salads that she ate both mine and hers. :) My guest felt the Jade Shrimp was good enough, but most likely wouldn't order it a 2nd time. Personally, she didn't care for the milky type sauce on the shrimp (but she still ate almost all of it). The shrimp in my curry were so good! Fresh and flavorful. I wasn't too much of a fan of their curry as it was thin and a bit more soupy than other curry I have had in the past. The onions and peppers in the curry were cooked well and also just as flavorful, so yay. I will be back at least once more. I would recommend for sure. Thanks! read more

We did take out. Online menu did not have informative descriptions - what are the potstickers filled with? Pork or veggies or both? Fast service. Containers were not labeled so we guessed which dishes were which. Vegetarians: very limited vegetarian dishes. read more

Been living here for 4 years now and somehow has completely missed that this place was right up the street! So glad to finally have discovered it. I only got take out but the staff were very friendly in taking my order in person and answering any questions I had about the menu. The ambiance was lovely - a traditional chinese restaurant setting, which I love. I ordered the shrimp chow mein and the sweet and sour shrimp with only pineapple. The portion sizes were plentiful, which was great as the prices are on the higher side. The shrimp chow mein had an abundance of succulent shrimp, many more shrimp than I had expected. I will absolutely be getting that again. I love the way they packaged the chicken for the sweet and sour chicken - they did not toss the chicken in the sauce to avoid it getting soggy. It was also much different than I am used it - it was an actual whole chicken breast as opposed to the little nuggets I am used to - it felt much higher quality because of this and I really enjoyed it. I ended up making 3 meals out of it between the two dishes. I will definitely be back for take out and also hope to dine in with family the next time they come to the area. read more

Peking Restaurant - Beef and broccoli - Chinese Near Me - Ventura, California

3 stars for poor service. I like this place, been coming here for about a year now, food above average and priced fairly. But want to mention to management to empower your young men working the front to do more than give a blank stare when you ask them for help! Went to Peking recently to get some takeout and told that to the young man who greeted me when I entered, but then he disappeared, nobody else was sent until another customer arrived for pickup who asked the same young man for his order, then a woman who apparently has cash register privileges came forward to help after being ignored for over 5 minutes! It seems to me that my wanting to order was not important enough to ask for help up front so I could make a purchase. read more

Went here because saw a lot of good reviews. The place is nice and the vibe there seems okay but the food ain't it. Idk if it was the cook this time or what but their meat tasted fake like soft rubber and all the dishes we ordered tasted the same on top of that the portions were tiny. I had gotten the almost $30 plate and it came with less food and less flavor than you'd get at a Panda Express. Kinda mad that they made me pay that much for so little. read more

EVERY visit to the Peking Restaurant has been a joy - the food, the ambience and the service. We are ALWAYS warmly greeted by the owner/manager and the servers are quick to take our order.

Margaret and her team provided an exceptional experience! The food was absolutely delicious and beautifully presented.

Our group of 10, with reservations for lunch, all ordered lunch specials and were very happy with our food. The special includes a main dish, choice of soup, salad, and tea. The egg flower soup was perfect. I had the black bean fish, which had a lovely flavor and the fish a silky texture. I tasted a friend's order of fried green beans, which were excellent. I notice now that the full menu includes vegetarian meat substitutes, but not sure if they are available on the lunch special. The service was exceptional and congenial, with staff going out of their way to assist two ladies with walkers. Nice place for family or couples dining. read more
