    I remember stopping here last time we were in Williamsburg. On the road again, we naturally stopped at Peking Restaurant. The buffet is definitely a better alternative to fast food chains. It offers nearly every type of food you can think of-vegetables, beef, chicken, shrimp, mussels, clams, noodles, dumplings, rice, pizzas, soups, and desserts-though the dishes are neither exceptional nor authentic. For the price of a hamburger, you get a wide variety. The service was attentive and pleasant, and the price was very affordable. The restaurant is large and decorated in a traditional Chinese style. I would definitely come here again next time I'm in town.

    This place is located in an older strip mall with lighting and lots of parking. The building and designer elements look older and could use some updating. The buffet has a lot of options. The staff is friendly and quick. The food is average. But the bathrooms. OMG. They are discussing, dirty, stink so awful, are falling apart, and holy mold! (see pic) If the bathrooms look like that, I'm scared to see the kitchen. IMHO, steer clear!

    I found Peking Buffet's experience to be a mix of highs and lows. The service was satisfactory, the price was wallet friendly, and ingredients were fresh. Food however was so-so. Meat dishes tastes fresh but not as expected; for instance the general tso's chicken were sitting in a thin liquid sauce and tasted more boiled than wok fried. Veggetarian dishes were decently cooked but some again lacked the taste I normally associate with the dish. They had some seafood (shrimp, muscles, and clams) but lacked more fish options. They also had a sushi section but I was unsure how long the food had been sitting there. The standout was undoubtedly the Mongolian BBQ - you gather the fresh ingredients yourself, lather on sauce, and a nice and proficient chef will cook it super quick for you on a hot round cooktop. Down side is you have to flavor it yourself which could lead to some unsavory combinations. If you are unsure of how to flavor things, I suggest a nice portion of garlic, some ginger, a couple of ladles of mongolian bbq sauce, some rice wine, some seaseme oil, and some spicy sauce accordingly to your spice tolerance. The restaurant also has some interesting Chinese decor. I wasn't able to look at them too closely to check out their authenticity, but they definitely add a level of uniqueness and interest to this otherwise run-of-the-mill chinese buffett.

    What a treat! If you're looking for a tasty spot for the family I highly recommend Peking Restaurant... The restaurant has beautiful and traditional Asian inspired decor, a super friendly staff, and very good/hot/fresh food! One of the best buffets I've been to in quite sometime; a ton of choices, flavorful sauces, quality ingredients...something for everyone!!! I tried a number of different items and really enjoyed them all (the sushi was my least favorite, but I would go back for the hot buffet and Korean BBQ which is most of the choices anyway). A few personal favorites were the fried dumplings, the baby bokchoi, spicy Korean pork, miso soup, and the crispy chicken choices (general Tso's, honey, orange). Our server was super sweet and friendly...she also stayed on top of us with excellent service (clearing, chatting, and refills). A must try when in the area!

    Unexpected surprise. We were looking for a place to eat and we settled on Chinese and I'm glad we stopped here. The inside of the restaurant was absolutely beautiful. There is a large variety of food including pho, sushi, Mongolian and hibachi. The food was fresh and hot and there someone cleaning and putting food out constantly.

    PEKING RESTAURANT Yelp, which is typically more critical than the Google Maps Crowd, had ratings all over the place - and that's how I feel too - 2.5 if I could, so 3 to be fair GOOD: Friendly hostess, good NON Chinese dishes, decor is festive and fun, and sushi was good BAD: Restaurant organization, non-present Mongolian/noodle cook, the Chinese dishes were below the quality of 16/person IMP: 16.00 for dinner person (no soda). General per pound take out was 7.99/lb Good news first - I was hoping this strip mall find would surprise to the upside. It did have positives. The fun ornamental layout was cool, the hostess was very nice and dishes like Korean beef, Thai rice and Mac n cheese with bacon were good. But if Iam eating these items, it because the traditional Chinese food was flat. The Bad news - sauce central (as I call it) was not to be found. Typically, all the sauces are all together in large quantities. They had some sauces all over and many were packets - lost time. The sushi, though good, was served via some weird conveyor belt style - two pieces per tiny plates. It felt like a dessert factory taken over by sushi - a clunky set up even the employee seemed unsure about (take the baby plates or just the sushi off them). The biggest negative was the Chinese food quality - flat, dry, or often the reverse - a meat dish floating in sauce. I would pass. At 13.99 I would be more generous but the quality is not there.

    Are there a good amount of vegan options? If so, are they labeled for ease? Thank you

    they're quite easy to find although most of the vegan options don't seem to be rotated very often, let alone most of the food there. it's a shame because this used to be the best chinese buffet in town at one time.

    What are the prices for lunch and dinner?

    Dinner is 15 dollars, lunch is 10

    Peter Chang (Williamsburg)…read more GOOD: mixed meat Mei fun was excellent. Service was good and friendly. Prices are reasonable (but*) BAD: The pork fried dumplings needed a longer fry. They only appeared to touch the frying pan for barely a minute. They had a steamed, flimsy texture, and I was going for that nice crust, which separates a pan-fried dumpling from a steamed dumpling. My server was very good but the kitchen was very slow tonight, it took almost another twenty-five minutes to get the entree out after the appetizer, and the restaurant was only moderately busy at best. The table next to me also had to wait for every course. Overall, I enjoyed my meal. Even the dumplings that were under fried had good flavor. *Please be aware, which came as a shock to me, that the restaurants on that particular street are subject to a 12%to 13% percent sales tax, which was really off putting. I would still go back to Peter Chang's but probably another location because of the tax and the slow kitchen.

    Warrior's Grill is located in the Renaissance Place Shopping Center located on N. Great Neck Rd…read more just a little north of Virginia Beach Blvd. With them being part of a shopping center, there was ample parking available here. My visit here was on March 25, 2024. It had been a while since I had been to a Mongolian BBQ place since DW's Mongolian closed during the pandemic. I have heard of the place in the past, but hadn't been in there. They are in the middle of the shopping center, and almost missed it at first. It wasn't busy when I came in, but it was at an off peak time. We were immediately greeted and got to a table. The server asked if we wanted any soups, but we declined. You also get some white rice at the table, but that is one thing I avoid since it can spike sugar levels. It was time to go up to the food picking area to have it cooked. I went with several vegetables, as well as white meat chicken and beef. There are several sauces to add as well, but I generally avoid the sugar water one. It is all you can eat when you dine in, so you can go up multiple times. Since we were able to go up multiple times, I was definitely full by the time I was done after three visits. They were quick for refills as needed and the clearing of used plates too. Overall, the service and food were good. I had no issues while there. One thing that I would have hoped for was to have seafood options like shrimp or scallops as well. The pricing is good for what you get here as I was here during the early dinner time. If you're looking for a place that has Mongolian BBQ, this is a solid place to come and check out.

    I used to absolutely love this restaurant when I lived in the neighborhood about five years ago…read more Being able to walk there was a huge plus, and it was a place I genuinely enjoyed visiting. Unfortunately, this location now feels like it has been on a steady downward spiral. On this most recent visit, one of the first things I noticed was that they no longer appear to sell alcohol, as they don't currently have an alcohol license. That alone wasn't a dealbreaker, but it was noticeable. What concerned me more was the lack of attention to hygiene in the kitchen. Watching the cooks prepare food without hairnets and seeing some of their food-handling practices was surprising and honestly uncomfortable. That said, I do want to give credit where it's due. The employee working behind the buffet bar was doing a very good job of keeping his area clean and organized. Everything on the buffet line looked fresh, and there was a good variety of options available. The bathrooms were also clean, which I appreciated. Another ongoing issue has been menu availability. They never seem to have the sauces or items listed on the menu. Each time I've asked, the response has been that they're "waiting on the truck." The first time, that was understandable. After hearing the same excuse multiple times over several visits, it no longer feels believable. One thing I will say I still enjoy is the trivia game they run on the TVs. You can download an app on your phone and play along, which is a fun touch. My little brother and I really enjoyed that feature, and it's one of the few highlights that still stands out. As for service, I want to be fair the waitress herself was doing her best. However, it was clear she was overwhelmed. The restaurant seemed understaffed, with only one waitress managing the entire place. She was trying to seat guests, take orders, run food, clean tables, make drinks, and handle online orders and pickups all at once. That's simply too much for one person, especially when the restaurant could have easily scheduled at least one additional staff member. Overall, this location no longer feels like the restaurant I once loved. I hope they're able to turn things around, because it used to be a great spot but right now, it's hard to recommend.
