    Couldn't find a place to eat Chinese food. Decided on this place for late dinner and food was blah. Will not be coming back. More of a Hispanic flavor and had to add soy sauce to get a chinese flavor.

    There comes a time in every man's (or woman's) life when you find the greatest thing purely by accident. Such was the case for me today, considering I wasn't even looking for another great Chinese restaurant since I found Soya Cafe the week prior. However, that was all put to rest when I came across a little corner of heaven known as Peking Kitchen (not to be confused with Peking Garden). But it's...definitely not perfect. Okay, so I should clarify a thing: this place is actually Szechuan style cuisine, but that's still an overall theme of Chinese. Only...south western Chinese. What does that even mean to us plebeian American consumers of all things? Not a damn thing. They serve all the appetizers and sides you would expect from a typical Chinese place. Today I decided to try one of their lunch specials. Once again, like their distant cousin Soya, the lunches were well priced for what they had to offer. In fact, I'd say I enjoyed their menu configuration even more because they just had more to offer. Basically, you get a main course, soup of your choosing, an egg roll, and your choice of fried or white rice. So being the huge seafood connoisseur that I am, I decided I wanted to see what their butterfly shrimp was all about. It was nothing like I expected, but that wasn't necessarily a bad thing. The best way I can describe it is...deep fried shrimp meets sweet n' sour sauce. The texture and flavor were all great. I wasn't a fan of the pineapple swimming in sweet n' sour sauce and resembling the color and appearance of cubed grapefruit, so I left it on the plate. Now, here's where things become both interesting and mixed. First, I had what was possibly the BEST cup of egg drop soup I have ever tasted since moving back to El Paso! I'm talking about the kind of egg drop soup that's perfectly seasoned, perfect broth consistency, plenty of egg (of course) AND....they serve a copious portion of fried wontons perfect for dipping into the soup. I also love the fact that it was piping hot when it came out...but not like, boiling hot. So many other places screw that up. For a side, I ordered the fried rice and...this is where things get mixed for me. Because I'm a huge fan of fried rice, both in the Japanese and Chinese cuisine. That being said, today's fried rice was bland and forgettable. It had hardly any egg in it and lacked so much flavor that I had to add a dash of soy sauce just to continue eating. Not a complete fail; just a bit of a let down. So here's what I intend to do for my next visit, and I'm sure you'll agree: just get the white rice instead and season to taste with soy sauce and enjoy. If I'm gonna eat stoic rice, it might as well be the white rice. At least then I don't have to worry about avoiding the peas. I also didn't care for the presentation. I dunno what it is...it's just something about a pile of rice looking as if it was placed on the plate and molded with an upside down funnel that seems unappealing to me. The egg roll was a near miss for me as well. Because whilst the outside was crispy and inviting, the inside (ya know...the part that matters?) was slightly bland and unexciting for me. Again, I had to pour a dash of soy sauce inside the egg roll in order to enjoy it fully. I usually never do this, btw. Other than that, I really don't have much to complain about this place. I want to return for lunch one day soon. The inside looks and feels very comfy and is the total opposite of cramp. I have to wonder if this is a fairly new restaurant because they only have 1 review from a few days ago so far. And so...I had to put them on the market and make sure everyone far and wide knew that this place is easily a comfy lunch spot worthy of 4 perfectly seasoned bowls of egg drop soup accompanied with crispy delicious fried wontons which taste like heaven on earth out of 5.

    So I called them and just ordered their chow mien and it was the best I've had so far out here in El Paso. It was ready in 5 mins for pick up. It was nice and still warm. It was so good I ate half before I remembered to take a picture lol

    General tso w/noodles.

    This review is going to be short and sweet. The general Tso is so freaking good !! It looks like it could be spicy but honestly it's not...I mean at all ! They did not skimp on the amount they give as the "dinner" option. THE NOODLES THOUGH I could literally just order that and be a happy little lady lol. I've been during lunch and dinner time. Same order different price. Lunch is about $8.60 and dinner (what's on the pic) is $12.95, but if you're military you get a discount so it came out to about $12.25. Kuddos to the lady who asked :). Will definitely be back!

    Butterfly shrimp DO NOT RECOMMEND

    Be careful when ordering here. If u order a lunch special for $6.75 you get soup, egg roll and fried rice with it. If you get the same the for dinner and pay 9.25 that's all you get. No soup no egg roll not Even rice and DO NOT order the butterfly shrimp because youll get this gross mess. And the lady that answers the phone the host is the most rudest person to speak to.

    Been lunching here a lot lately. Everything is fresh and they have great lunch specials. They're fast, friendly and consistent. They could get adventurous with their satellite radio stations though.

    Full House!  Well some dirty tables.

    Rant - This is by far one of my favorites lunch place. Unfortunately, the service is not good at all. 16 Tables = 2 Servers & 1 Register Associate. The waitresses and register personal push themselves 120% and more that's the reason for 2 stars or I would do 1. I want to believe that the owner/s are penny pinchers just because I've been coming here for like 2 years and still same amount of severs, especially during lunch hour. Shame on them if that's the reason. On today's visit, 2 customers walked out because there weren't enough bodies to clean dirty tables. I almost walked out to but I had already lost 10 minutes of my lunch time waiting for a table. Dear Owner, please fix. Thank You - Such a great place!

    Great place!!! Food definitely surpassed my expectations. We had fried dumplings and crab wontons for appetizers, they were also delicious.

    Not much to look at but the food does not disappoint. Love the Hot&Sour soup. It's worth once a week at least. Reminds me of Beijing.

    Apparently the have no clue what chow mien is. Their concept is a boiled Chicken chef salad. Save your money

From the…read moremoment you walk in, the atmosphere is welcoming--clean, cozy, and filled with the aroma of sizzling barbecue. * Service: The staff is attentive without being overbearing. They explain the menu clearly and check in often to make sure everything is perfect. * Food: Every dish bursts with flavor. The kimchi is tangy and fresh, the bulgogi melts in your mouth, and the bibimbap is beautifully presented with vibrant vegetables and a perfectly cooked egg. The banchan (side dishes) are plentiful and constantly refilled, which makes the meal feel generous and complete. * Experience: If you go for the Korean BBQ, the staff helps guide you through grilling at the table, making it fun and interactive. It's perfect for groups but also comfortable for solo diners. * Value: Portions are hearty, and the quality of ingredients justifies the price. You leave full, satisfied, and already planning your next visit. Pro tip: Try the spicy tofu stew on a chilly day--it's comfort in a bowl. Pair it with a refreshing Korean beer or soju for the full experience. This restaurant nails the balance between tradition and modern dining. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to experience Korean cuisine at its best. ---
