Took the family out for Chinese after taking in the Great Smoky Mountain Christmas lights. It was late on Christmas Eve and there were few choices available at that point. We ordered off the menu and I did the buffet. Most of the buffet items had been out all night and were not very appetizing. The staff was very attentive and we enjoyed our meals. read more

My husband and I go here often. You walk in the door and immediately waitstaff walks up to you and seats you depending on availability. Everyone is so nice, food is always hot (we go at 5pm), and waitstaff is extremely attentive. Please do not listen to reviews of people who go to buffet at close, of course they are not going to have fresh food right at close. I have always been met with kindness and wonderful hospitality. When you leave, you pay at the counter near the door. You will be greater by a wonderful woman who displays pictures of her family behind the counter. She is the most professional and lovely person. I know she is the one who runs that restaurant like the well oiled machine it is. We love you Peking Gourmet II. Never change! read more

Limited dinner buffet. Too pricey for what the buffet had. Some food was not warm. Probably will not return.

My wife and I stopped here over the weekend to grab lunch before going shopping. As always, the place was very clean, and the staff was very friendly. We love eating here because the quality is always consistent no matter what day we come. read more

Only thing that had flavor were the fortune cookies. Hot and sour soup was neither, lo mein only had flavor when covered in soy sauce. This restaurant is a pass if you want good food. read more

I love going here on the regular. The egg drop soup is my favorite dish they have, waiters are always nice and very attentive.

This place is a joke. The food is good even you order to go but definitely not worth the trouble it takes to get it. I've ordered from here 4 times and have eaten buffet twice. I say I have given it every chance. My family loves Chinese food and we like eat it once a week but I will no longer patron here. The prices online and on the menu are incorrect every time I order. They change it at a whim and it's different per person it seems. If I call they quote one price over the phone and call back my order to me and then it's another In person and they don't get the order correct and things are left off that you order and you spend at least 20 mins at the counter trying to get it straight and when you leave your frustrated hungry and spent more out of pocket then it's all worth. You try to talk over the phone to get things correct and it's more frustrating than in person. The buffet is always low and the food is cold and the tea hot and served with no ice. Just patron at another Chinese place because you are missing nothing here. read more

Order off the menu and you will love it. The buffet is a buffet. We ordered freshly prepared for pick up and it was great. Spring rolls, egg rolls, mu goo, vegetarian veggies and fried rice. Enough for 3 people for 2 meals. Very flavorful.e off the buffet. We went inside, ordered and sat at a table to wait. Very hot and fresh and they can accommodate vegan or vegetarian folks as well! read more

Don't think I will ever come back. The food was not the best. The noodles was red? Confused me. The place is actually really CLEAN and they are really nice but the food I should've had pizza ‍ not mention it is to over priced compared to most places Ive been to. 0 outta 10 don't recommend read more

Great service, warm tasty food, very clean and quiet. The price is stellar also so I highly recommend.

Great selection at the buffet. If something is low and you request more, they are very responsive. Typical buffet.

Very good food, I wish the egg foo young sauce was a different kind but other than that I enjoyed the cuisine, I only did take out though.

Got take out and it tasted like it was three days old. They definitely got all of the items we ordered from the buffet. I called to make a complaint and the lady I spoke with was rude and was blaming the food on us. She didn't speak well English. I was just trying to get her to address the situation and was trying to turn it around on me. $130 for TRASH FOOD!! I will never be going back nor referring anyone to this establishment read more

So the food quality is what you would expect for Chinese buffet. Unfortunately, everything is loaded in sugar. Not the normal amount of sugar for Chinese food, but things that are too sweet. Crab Rangoon, beef and broccoli, and even the chicken was just way too sweet tasting. All of the food was just "okay" and sweet. General Tso's chicken was just breading. Now cleanliness... that's another thing. While they did keep up with cleaning the food surfaces, the ceiling is just covered in dust. The ice cream machine looks like it's never been cleaned and dried ice cream is all over the machine. Legs of the booths looked nasty and under the hot bars themselves were dusty and filthy. It also smells like cigarettes, which is unappealing. It costs 11.00 per person, which is just 50 cent less than the cost of Asian King Buffet in Franklin. So I would say that you're paying too much for the quality and cleanliness if you compare it to the restaurant in Franklin. Asian King Buffet quality and cleanliness is so much better than this place, so if you don't mind the drive I highly recommend them over Peking Gourmet II. I'm giving this two stars because the service was really nice, the food hasn't made me sick, they kept up with cleaning the hot bar, and it's reasonably priced for the options that are available to you. read more

Grew up eating here as a kid. the food was so good i loved coming on sunday's or just for dinner but sadly the quality and service really stinks now so sad miss coming here for dinner. read more

The food is super cheap! I ordered for takeout, she was fast and really nice. It's basic Chinese food nothing at all fancy but it's cheap and taste good. The pu pu platter was a winner. read more

Peking Gourmet II - a variety of chinese food - Chinese Near Me - Sylva, North Carolina

pretty good food,but the prices where higher then quality.. nice service. chill place would go again!

I've always liked this place. I've been a regular here for years now, I really enjoy their food and the staff has always been nice to me i always have a good experience. I will say the food isn't always the same tasting everyday but it's always good (different cook maybe) but I would recommend this place and again it's a buffet so don't expect a fancy restaurant with fancy food read more

Awesome service very clean place the bars are always neat and clean! Food is very authentic and delicious and puts other establishments way in the back. This one is overall an awesome inexpensive place to get a great bite to eat and at a buffet! read more

If you like gross food, bad customer service, and fluctuating prices definitely go here

Went into the Lunch buffet and some of the food was not under hot lamps and all of it was cold. The entire place was empty, except for the severs and management. We barely got through a couple bites of each of the things we got before deciding to leave and go upfront. We explained we took a few bites but it was cold, and the man at the front desk told us it had been sitting out for two hours, and if we wanted it fresh we should have ordered ahead. We requested not to pay for the small amount and he moved in front of me, attempting to block me if I exited. read more

Worst customer service ever. Rude!!!! Lady at register was very rude. Bar poorly stocked. What food was on the bar was old and cold. Never again. read more

Not good! Sad goldfish in tank. At least 1/4 bins empty. What was available was old and stale. Not very clean. Never again. Steer clear of this dump! read more

Peking Gourmet II - Sad gold fish just sitting in corner. - Chinese Near Me - Sylva, North Carolina

So today the kids and I decided to go and get lunch with my sister. We just finished eating and like kids do, my baby got bored. He grabs his spoons and started to sing, the lady that runs the restaurant grabbed his arm and took the spoons away from his hands. She walked away so of course I calmed down a bit, confronted her. She told me to make sure I watch my child, I'm not sorry that I didn't stop him. If she didn't want him to "hit her table" she should have asked me to grab them from him. Don't think she really likes "kids" or probably just mine. Don't eat here with your children read more

I had a bad experience today. I was embarrassed and was highly offended by the woman at the front. My mother and I went to have lunch. We both got a plate from the buffet and did not like the food. We tried our best to try and stomach it. I new my mother was just disgusted and I did not want to make eat it. So we went to the front to pay for the little chicken I ate and for the drinks. I told the lady quietly and politely we didn't like the food. She got very loud and told us we still had to pay for the food we didn't eat. She said it was policy. I ask her to show me the policy she did not. I asked to talk to a supervisor or a manager. She said no manager no supervisor. I asked to talk to someone. She gave me a number that was not the manager or owner. She was yelling to everyone leaving and coming in "THEY DONT PAY FOR THIER FOOD"!!! It was so embarrassing and she would not let my mother step in the foyer to sit down. She demanded she stay! I told her I just want to pay for only what I ate and my drinks. She said she would call the police. I told her I would.. and I did. The police officer handled the situation and he set us free from mean Chinese lady. So unprofessional. read more

Pretty lame for lunch. Very little meat on the buffet and what was there was not very good. Way to much money for such low quality food. Never again. read more

We just moved into the area and were really hoping for a good or at least decent Chinese take-out place but this is very bad. It's the only Chinese restaurant for miles so that's even worse. I'm praying that the owners see this and other reviews and do something. (If you're reading this, send me a message, I'll help!) The egg rolls were squishy; the entrees were bathed in sauce, meat and veg had no flavor and were floppy; the fried rice was the worst I've ever had, etc. etc. We could not eat it and won't ever go back unless someone tells us it's changed drastically. read more

This has to be the worst Chinese food I've ever had :( I get that buffet food isn't always of the best quality.... but this is embarrassing. Almost ALL of the dishes were meager (only a few pieces left), old, gross, and STALE. We came during peak hours on a Saturday night. Don't waste your time or money here. Sylva deserves better. read more

I was there with two guests this afternoon. The food there is the worst Asian buffet I've ever had. The staff was nice and service was good.

Too much salt... on everything. Too much sugar in the egg drop soup. Sugar in egg drop? I guess they're succumbing to what Americans want. Just about everything was overcooked. Service was OK. Certainly not over-friendly. It's a buffet, so if you're looking for lots of food, OK. Pros: It seemed clean. It's convenient being right off the highway. read more

Buffet is pretty good...everything was fresh. Restaurant is clean. Curry noodles are tasty. Mongolian grill in back will season spiciness to taste choice of chicken or pork (or beef for dinner) and lo mein noodle, and 5-6 veggies. Owner has been at same location for 20 years. read more

I have never been to a bad buffet but this has to be the worst in the world. Their buffet consist of maybe 40 things & maybe 2 were good. The rest was horrible. Even the regular soft drinks were disgusting. & to top it off, they stair as if they're daring you to try. I cannot make this up. GoodLuck on your experience if you dare Oh, If only there was a "No" option on here read more

My wife and I love it, we go there once a month at the very least. Price/Quality is perfect. If you're planning on going, try to go during the weekend or peak hours. Sometimes there just aren't enough people there so they don't replace the food as often, but when it's packed the food is always super hot straight off the stove and tastes absolutely amazing. read more

Because I can't put a -star one will have to do. We eat our four times a week. Chinese is once, at a minimum, each week. Save your money or buy gas to go further. This place is horrible. We had the buffet which was low on many items, however they did refill at our request. That took time. So we ate what we thought we'd like but never had one complete meal. The rangoons were filled with some sticky substance, certainly NOT cream cheese. The crispy noodles were cooked then sugar added! Yuck. Those and rangoons are actually two of my favorite things, but not here!!! The rice was dry, we scraped the bottom of their gigantic pot at the end of one buffet line. It seemed like everything they do there is cutting corners rather than producing good, quality, fresh food. We even had stir fry cooked for us and it was soaked in soy sauce and the veggies barely cooked, not even al dente. I wouldn't go here again if I were paid to go. The one star is for the staff. They were very friendly. read more

If you like food poisoning this is the place to go. Otherwise avoid it. I was warned by a friend who also got sick after eating here, but didn't heed her advice. Poor service as well. read more

It's not that I have anything against the Peking Gourmet, per se. I'll certainly eat whatever you bring me from the place. It's just that it doesn't make my list of favorites. Lately, I've found myself more and more disillusioned with the "Chinese buffet." I can never find anything I care about, so I usually stick to sushi and bypass all other opportunities. Peking does not offer sushi (they offer a very dry and sad imitation of a California roll), and therefore doesn't really have any redeeming qualities. It isn't especially cheap, either. There just really isn't any particular reason to visit Peking when there are two other Chinese buffets and one Japanese/sushi place (albeit with terrible service) in the same town. read more

This place is pretty good if you are hungry for various food. I think my experience would have been better if the food hasn't been out for a while and it the wait staff were not overwhelmed. I do not recommend going on a Sunday, because they were packed after church services. read more

Crave it quite often. This is the go to. Creamy chicken... amazing... general tso's... amazing... sweet and sour chicken... amazing... crab rangoon... outstanding. Do you get the vibe? They don't kick you out either. Trust me, I know! read more

A nice surprise when we opened the several items in our takeout order. The House Chop Suey was excellent, loaded with taste and wonderful ingredients.. The Sweet and Sour Pork was a little tough, but the crispy batter and superb sauce made up for this shortcoming. Finally, the Shrimp with Broccoli was a little disappointing. with very few shrimp found among the broccoli crowns. Also, the taste was somewhat weak. read more

Owner and staff are super friendly (if not impossible to understand), food is great and fresh. Selection is a bit limited but they have all the staples of Chinese food. Building is old and tables / booths are a bit old, but that doesn't really matter if you are there for the food. Kept decently clean, grade A on the wall last visit. Make sure you get some Mongolian! read more
