From the moment you walk in, you'll feel as if you've been transported to a different era of imperial China. I ordered one of their lunch specials, but I found the food to be a bit disappointing. Given that I'm from San Francisco, I realize it's not entirely fair to compare Chinese cuisine anywhere else, except perhaps in the Far East. However, I don't want to be too harsh, as it can be challenging to find good Asian food in Alaska or in many rural areas across America, so I genuinely appreciate their presence. Plus, the restaurant's authentic decor saves you the time and expense of a long flight on Pan Am or Cathay Pacific to Asia. Perhaps I'm showing my age with that reference! Hopefully, this review will encourage the owners to enhance their culinary offerings a bit more and provide diners with a truly exceptional experience of fresh, delicious Chinese food, which can be an extraordinary delight for the taste buds when prepared correctly.

There was also a buffet option which, in hindsight, I should’ve checked out—imagine if there were unlimited crab rangoon! Our meals arrive promptly, and while the staff is attentive, they maintain a respectful distance without being intrusive. Overall, it's a solid restaurant in a city that feels slow and quiet.

Good, fresh food! Chung pao chicken, wonton soup and chicken chow mein were pretty flavorful- perfect meal post hiking in the cold and rain. read more Good, fresh food! Chung pao chicken, wonton soup and chicken chow mein were pretty flavorful- perfect meal post hiking in the cold and rain.

After a long day of exploring Seward and taking a Glacier Cruise Tour, the fresh and hot food at Peking Chinese Restaurant was exactly what we needed.

It's a sunny and warm day in Seward this March. As we stroll through the streets, we stumble upon Peking. Chinese cuisine sounds appealing... read more It's a sunny and warm day in Seward this March. As we stroll through the streets, we stumble upon Peking. Chinese cuisine sounds appealing...
