Peking Cafe - Annandale

Looking for a quick beef with broccoli. One of the easiest Chinese dishes ever. Even the most marginal Chinese places I have been to has been passable. Not here. Nearly 1/3 of the meat was un-chewable. The sauce was a syrupy sweet brown sauce that really made it a dessert. The broccoli was the best part. Also the lunch portion should have been labeled an appetizer.

This has been my go to place for years, but I think it's time to look elsewhere. The orders have become very inconsistent where the same order tastes different from one order to the next. I ordered General Tso's last night that was in some weird and pretty terrible tasting sauce, not sweet at all, and the chicken was soggy. It was inedible/gross though the rest of the order was great.

I usually enjoy coming here for occasional fried rice and Singapore rice noodles but today I placed an order for chicken and broccoli and I didn't like the texture of my chicken. It's usually a little more tender than what I was served.. I went in to let the Asian guy at the front know and he seemed SOO MAD about me telling him that the chicken was too soft. Like it literally felt like it was falling apart in my mouth before I even chewed. He even started telling me that I shouldn't buy from them anymore and eat their food and that I found extremely rude. I asked if they could cook what I bought some more and he said no. I was calm with him the whole time, it's not like I said the food was nasty. It was good but seemed rushed. He said I was complaining and was the only one out of the whole day complaining about the chicken.. well everybody is different and I have a right to not like how something was made. I was gonna ask for a different new order but then I decided not to because why would I want food that's made with negative energy after he just told me not to purchase from them anymore off of small criticism. I just ended up getting a refund on my card which he couldn't even let me know how long it'll take for the money to come back! But over all if you own a food establishment provide better services and watch your mouth when speaking to your customers. It shouldn't be an issue to fix something YALL COOKED. you're serving to the people, they MAKE your establishment keep running. I will definitely not go back there again. I passed up a lot of good Chinese restaurants to stick to my same old Chinese place that I thought I'd enjoy but that was a mistake. 0-1/10 PLEASE SAVE YOUR MONEY.

My dad's been ordering food from Peking Cafe for our family for more than a decade and we've never been disappointed, not even once. Good, clean food at a great price, especially considering the pandemic. The taste changed a bit over the years, but we've always been satisfied.

Love love love their food. So kind and welcoming. Quick and efficient. I have both dined in and taken out. my family loves it. Great lunch specials. Food is so flavorful.
