We ordered from the Lunch Special menu, which was from 11AM to 3PM everyday. The entrees came with Soup of the Day, Egg Roll, and either Steamed Rice, Pork Fried Rice, or Chicken Chow Mein. We ordered the Chicken with Snow Peas with Steamed Rice for $11.75, Vegetable Bean Curd with Steamed Rice for $11.55, and Beef with Oyster Sauce with Chicken Chow Mein for $12.55. The Soup of the Day was Hot & Sour Soup. The soup was really good, delicious, and not spicy at all. The Egg Rolls were crispy and too oily. The dipping sauce for the egg rolls was good. All the dishes were descent, but way too salty. We were told you can request the dishes to be light on the salt. We wouldn't mind returning next time as the flavors were good, but we would request the dishes be less salty.

Let me tell you!!! As someone who lives in the Bay Area, I get real excited when I see good prices like here, especially from Asian restaurants where normally every entree other than an appetizer is about $15-$17. You can't find good chow mein for under that price where I live in San Jose. This restaurant was fresh and delicious, flavorful and overall everything you'd expect from a Chinese restaurant. The place overall is quiet and soothing, a nice atmosphere to just sit and have a decent meal in peace. They even got some classical music playing subtly in the background, like a spa. The staff are very polite and welcoming, mostly women in the front, very kind and sweet. They smile a lot and refilled our drinks without us asking. Everything we had ordered was splendid. Chow mein was firm, not soggy, sauce stuck into the noodle, full of flavor, didn't even need to add soy sauce. Had a nice "wok hei" flavor to it too, for those that don't know it basically means savory and smoky like how Chinese food should taste. Garlic chicken was delicious and not too spicy at all, just some chili flakes. It didn't really have a garlicky flavor but more of a sweet, sour and mild kind of flavor. Great portions and a nice balance of veggies, sauce and meat. Nothing here tasted bland. The broth of the sizzling rice was perfect, not too salty and for once they actually put the toasted rice on the side so it doesn't get too soggy within the soup. I love this place, if I'm ever in the area again I will definitely be back, maybe even during the night when the bar is open. I've never been to a Chinese restaurant that had an open bar and tv which I thought was pretty classic. They closed my favorite local Chinese spot in my neighborhood and I've been all over the bay but this place up in Redding is the closest to it, very happy we came across this on yelp. It was worth turning around 10 minutes just to try it. We had ordered the lunch special (11am to 3pm) combo plate with chicken chow mein, chicken with garlic sauce, it came with an egg roll and your choice of egg flour or sweet and sour soup. My hubby got shrimp fried rice and I had ordered the sizzling rice soup because I came across another review that said it was the best they've ever tried. I had to get me some, it's a childhood classic for me and I agree it's the best. Also we only paid $41 plus tip for a lotta food. I rate this place 12/10!

I am not sure what the hype about going to a Chinese restaurant that has bad food, and subpar service. I guess I'm spoiled. I lived in the S.F. Bay Area for 60 years, and I can definitely be described as a food snob. Growing up, from the time my brothers and I were babies, my parents took us to outstanding restaurants. We had the best Authentic Mexican, Chinese, BBQ, Thai, Seafood, Pizza, Hofbrau's, Japanese, Sushi, American Diners, Italian, French, Deli Sandwiches, Steakhouses, Mediterranean, Greek, Indian, Soul Food, Old Fashioned Hamburger joints, Korean, Hawaiian, German, Vegetarian, Irish. There is much more, but I'm tired. My brain has went to sleep. If you haven't been, you haven't lived unless you've eaten at some of the most fantastic restaurants you've only dreamed of. I know, traffic is a bear, and things are expensive. But, restaurants here are beyond disappointing. I don't even try anymore. Allow yourself two or three days to visit beautiful scenic scenery (the ocean, shopping, gorgeous towns, lovely people, and my gosh, San Francisco. You could go to very nice parks, scenic drives. Do you enjoy sports? Take in a S.F. Giants game, a Warriors game, or a S.F. 49er game. These stadiums are bar none, with everything, state of the art. You can't go wrong, especially in San Francisco, most restaurants are more than a meal, they are wonderful experiences. The food is delicious, and service is second to none. Don't take my word for it. You won't know unless you go. Like the Lotto; you can't win if you don't play. Don't knock it until you've tried it. Live a little. I promise you, you won't be sorry. Enjoy! Cheers‍‍‍‍‍ read more

This is one of the restaurants that I keep on visiting. After work, I pass by this area and I definitely make time to eat here sometimes alone or sometimes with my co-employees. It's a busy restaurant considering the fact that the food is just above delicious so i really don't have complains about that, sometimes food may take a while but... the taste are not altered. After quite a wait, all the impatience are blown away by the really tasty food! A really wide variety in the food choice so you don't have to worry about eating the same thing all over again although it isn't a problem because it has a taste that makes you want to eat it again and again. read more

we love Peter Chu's skyroom its the best Chinese restaurant in town. We have taken all our family members and friends there and they love the food also. We found that when you take five people and they each order a plate you can have a littlte of everything and still have left overs to take home. the best breakfast restaurant is in Anderson its called Viddles and its on North Street. Best lunch place for me is Casa Ramos. Best stake house is Dry Creek Cattle company on 299 east. the best burgers I had were at Logans Road House. read more

This place is nothing like it used to be. Over priced. Small portions. Very basic service. Orange chicken was overcooked and tough. Mongolian beef was stringy and hard to chew. Charged a small fortune to swap out one combo item for another. Didn't even offer to box up our leftovers like everywhere else would. We would have spent $40 less at Peacock with much bigger portions and better service. At least we haven't thrown up yet, but the night is young. read more

I believe that ends at 3pm M-F Not disappointed at all by the menu for anytime of the day. The lunches are well proportioned for $12,035 to $14.00 First you get a small bowl of soup de jour.

Lots of rice and just enough beef for me. I couldn't eat it all. My husband banks on that. He had Broccoli Beef with steamed rice and in 20 minutes his plate was empty.
