I have lived around the corner and have driven by Peking Garden countless times over the last few years and finally I stopped by for lunch, and was happy I did so. I had heard through family and friends that Peking served tasty, well portioned, always hot and great priced Chinese food...so, what is not to love about all that! If you ever cruise up and down South Cobb Drive between the Concord Road and Windy Hill Road intersections, there is a high probability that you saw the building that is 80% green roof tile with a bunch of angled and sloped walls and roof lines...and that building would be the one and only Peking Garden. It has been in Smyrna for around 30 years and I do not think the building has changed too much since they opened. While the decor and overall look scream dated, they do maintain it all quite well, so I am not mad at it! Parking is limited with spots lining the sides and front, but in the event they fill up then you can grab a spot in the massive lot that is directly behind the restaurant. Service was great! We were sat immediately upon entry and gave our drink and food order within moments. Once she delivered the food, she came back to check on us through out and made sure we had the check before we were ready to ensure no wait. Check out was equally easy. When you walk in, you are transported back to a Chinese restaurant of the 90's that features beaded curtains, ornamental ceilings, large art pieces, dim lighting, a fish tank and lots of the color red. Again, not hating on it as it definitely took me back to some of my favorite spots down in Newnan from my childhood! As with most Chinese restaurants, they have an extensive menu with all the favorites and a few house specialties. We happened by for lunch, so we hit the lunch menu which again had all the favorites you are used to. The average price was around $6 - $7 for a lunch meal that consisted of the protein, fried rice, soup and choice of egg roll, spring role or chicken wing. I ended up getting the tried and true OG meal of Sesame Chicken. For the soup I got wonton and I chose the egg roll. My Aunt got the Sweet and Sour Chicken with the same side choices. Both meals came out piping hot, so you know they were cooked fresh. In addition to being freshly prepared, they were portioned quite well, especially for a lunch portion! The only complaint was the "fried rice" which appeared to just be rice cooked in a variety of soy sauce. There was nothing about it that screamed fried rice as it was missing the veggies and the crunch I am accustomed to. For both meals and one drink, lunch cost us $16, so not bad! Overall, Peking Garden is a solid spot for Americanized Chinese food at a good price. I currently have a neighborhood favorite for fast service Chinese, but they do not offer dine in, so I think I found the niche that PG will fit into when the craving for Sesame Chicken hits! read more

Peking Garden is one of my regular lunch spots. The staff is always very friendly and fast. You can't beat their lunch specials--today I had kung pao chicken with fried rice and a hot & sour soup, all for under $10 before tip. Solid food, great value, and perfect for a quick lunch. read more

The woman who took our order and greeted us was quick, polite, and efficient. She clarified whether we wanted egg or spring rolls and I appreciate that as well as her promptness with letting us know the wait. (we ordered about 15 min before we arrived so we knew there would likely be a slight wait). While the service was pleasant, there was a slight smell in the restaurant even tho employees were cleaning right before closing. Most importantly the two stars are because the food quality was poor. Chicken was not cooked well (but thankfully not raw), there was not enough seasoning or marinade for chicken (ex: no garlic taste) and very minimal vegetable included in hunan chicken dish which comes with carrots broccolli among other vegetables normally depending on the restaurant. Food was hot when served but half of the portion was brown rice listed as "fried rice" but had no veggies or eggs and also seemed bland. Besides soy it lacked a lot of flavor, and this was disappointing. I hope cuisine improves in future hopefully this was related to ordering near closing time (45 min before) but unfortunately I would not return due to this experience. I wish them the best and service seems like it would be decent, but food quality is priority for me. read more

Peking Garden Restaurant - Kung Pao Chicken - Chinese Near Me - Smyrna, Georgia

The service was good and prompt when I walked in, but unfortunately the food was extremely too salty.

Excellent food and service. I have been going to this restaurant for years. Highly recommend.

I've been going to this place for over 20 years. The owner and staff are always kind and the food is always cooked to order. Best egg foo young I've found in the area. My son loves their crab rangoon. Also a go to for egg drop soup when you're feeling under the weather. I'd pick this place over a fast food chain every day if the week. I've definitely seen people come in trying to get a free meal and it's pathetic. read more

The customer service was Awesome. The food was hot and fresh. The egg Foo Young has a yellow gravy that tastes different than what we are used to having. This is Not a Vegetarian friendly restaurant. This was our first time eating here. read more

It was descent ! We ordered the egg foo young . General Chicken , Beef & Broccolli. And Hot & Sour Soup! My favorite was actually the Egg foo young ! The soup needed to be little spicier and more flavor with more meat & tofu . Will I go back ! Maybe ! The lady that took our order was a little bit not happy ... just didn't have any personality whatsoever! Maybe you are the owner but perhaps you should be a little pleasant to your customers! Sunday lunch buffet was small but surprisingly crowded for lunch on a Sunday ! read more

Nothing special. Had a "spicy" beef dish that wasn't spicy, not sure it was beef either.. would not necessarily go back. Wait staff was efficient read more

So pleased to see this unique building is still a traditional Chinese American restaurant since 1975. On a mild overcast autumn Friday evening, there was a steady flow of patrons. My niece and I enjoyed a dish of fluffy Shrimp Egg Fu Young and a tasty Mongolian Beef at the restaurant her grandfather started. Not sure how long the current owner has been running this restaurant, but the simple formula of quality comfort food with friendly service continues to draw regulars at a reasonable price. Peking Garden: you will always be close the hearts of the Children of Richard and Kuo-Liang. read more

Peking Garden Restaurant - There is a maggot on my food!!! I will not ever eat here again - Chinese Near Me - Smyrna, Georgia

The service is horrible. I waited five minutes before some one came to take my 'to go' order. I said hello and the order taker said yes. I politely said yesagain and the lady rolled her eyes and said yes as if I don't care how many times you say hello I m not going to say hello back. I said never mind because I was not going to patronize a business with rude customer service. The superiority that some of these establishments have is disgusting. They don't even attempt to treat you with respect. read more

My family and I have eaten here for 10+ years. It's the best chinese restaurant around. Even after moving away, we still make special trips to go eat there whenever we are able. The people working there are always pleasant and my kids love going. read more

Old style storefront but modern and clean inside. Nice, attentive staff, wide selection of good food of good portions. Will return when back in area read more

Terrible! Ordered a simple combination of sweet and sour chicken. The rice was plain fried rice with no vegetables or option of pork. The rice and sauce was disgusting and I was sick for two days after eating here. Left me extremely nauseous and I had to immediately stop eating and throw the food in the garbage. This was my first and last time eating here! It didn't even taste like food! read more

This place is a hidden gem. Food was really good! I will be back! Prices were good. The egg rolls were really good. Sizzling rice soup was good a full of chicken and shrimp. Staff is extra friendly! It was worth the longer drive. I will be back!!! Five Stars!!!!! A+++ read more

I have been with this place for over 20 years. Never had a bad experience. I can call in and they will know my order. They always ask about my family. In the fall we hose exchange students, they will ask about them and speak the language if they are Asians. Once the delivery guy, took my middle eastern student out to a game. Always enough food and condiments for seconds. 3 ways - dine in, pick up, or delivery. Food is always hot and well prepared. Tables are always clean, has an aquarium inside for the kids !! read more

I came here and I can honestly say I was horrified with the food that they served me. I will never be back, and neither will the money I wasted. My rice was soaking in water and I can't even imagine how you can mess up the basic meal i ordered so badly. Very dissatisfied read more

Great food and a great price! The service is fast as well. Quiet atmosphere that makes for a great working lunch location.

Chinese food in ATL is really hard - most of is it just awful. Wing shops that have some chinese food. This place is an old school inexpensive "Gringo Chinese" eatery. Food is consistently good - but not remarkable. Service is excellent, price is very good (cheaper than the take out place by my gym!) - I get take out there a few times a month. It's good - but it's pretty traditional "American Chinese" food. read more

I am completely confused by why this restaurant received good reviews. I went for take out on my futile search for good Chinese food in the area. Here is he lowdown: hot and sour soup was spicy but not balanced. Egg rolls are filled with shredded cabbage , tasteless and soggy. The beef and broccoli was very bland excluding the ridiculous amount of salt and the low mein tasted exactly like the beef and broccoli with three pieces of brocolli in the whole dish the rest was just noodles. This place was by far the worst I have had thus far. read more

I've been coming here for years. This will always be my favorite chinese spot. They know my family & know my regular order & the waitresses are so sweet. Food is great for the price too. read more

The service is great here. My food came out fresh and hot. My draw back is the fried rice is too dry and my Lo Mein looks like spaghetti. Overall the food is good here. I will definitely come back. read more

The beef short ribs are very good but very overpriced for what you get. The steamed vegetables never taste very fresh and always have a weird taste. read more

I have no idea how this place is getting rave reviews. First off, I asked if they can make me any bone-in chickens and they up front said no without even asking anyone in the back or checking. I was thc induced so my order was the following: 8 Lemon Pepper wings Mongolian Beef Dinner Combo General Dinner Combo Teriyaki Chicken Dinner combo Egg Drop Soup The plates were just terrible and the wings and soup were the only edible items in my opinion. Service was also very slow took me 35 minutes to get my food and I called it in 10 minutes before I went. read more

First place I've been to in Atlanta that doesn't make a soggy, nasty egg roll. Crunchy outside and crispy veggies inside. I had the Mongolian beef, which was good. My girlfriend's order of sesame chicken was better. Definitely not the last time I'll be ordering from here. read more

Worst experience ever at a restaurant. Place is really disgusting. Matching the service I received. Manager extremely rude, and very unprofessional. Do not waste your time or your money in this establishment. read more

I have been eating here over 20 years. Lately the food quality has deteriorated. The egg food young was burned and the 8 piece wings was only 6 pieces. Time to find a new Chinese restaurant. read more

I, too, have no idea how this place is getting great reviews. Maybe I'll dine in next time, but my take-out experience was horrible. I called in by phone, and asked if they could do special things to my dishes. I asked if they could use white meat on my Sesame Chicken, as I do not like dark meat. They tried to charge me extra for it, so I decided not to get it. My order was the following: 1) Sesame Chicken Combo 2) General Tso's Chicken Combo 3) Hot n Sour Soup The chicken were hard, and the dishes tasted the same: horrible. The soup was average. Service was okay; had to wait about 15 minutes, not that long. However, I am not coming back due to the horrible taste of their food. read more

Not popppin... I love Chinese and Asian food in general so this was rather disappointing....bland Mongolian beef...funny tasting egg rolls like a weird mustard after taste...kung poa chicken gets a big thumbs down too.... Honestly I feel like my money would have been better spent at American Deli no lol. Good service outside of asking if me and my girlfriend would be on the same ticket after I put my card on top of the recipient...just all weird On the plus side the interior is kinda cool...they need less fish in the fish tank tho because my man is suffering from a bad case of the dropsy read more

Two alcohol beverages, two appetizers, one large entree for two people (that was quite large) -- $20.00. This place has been in business over 30 years. They gotta be doing something right. I can't believe I am the first to do a review of this most secret place. read more
