Peking Garden

You know this was by far one of the scariest restaurants I had ever tried. Less then a month and three visits later Im a fan. This place is scary because outside it looks like a condemned building and inside looks like they went next door and got used furniture. The place really has no decor, no theme, no nothing... just tables, owners running hand and foot and food.
I was skeptical of the fact that the restaurant looked like this as well as the face that though the outside of the menu was a leathery type menu the inside pages were laminated copy paper.
I decided what I wanted to order and was told that if I would order a combination it would be a lot cheaper. So I did
The combinations come with the main dish, rice and an egg roll. My first outing I got my old favorite sweet and sour chicken.
Lately when I order that in a chinese restaurant it is a disappointment. The chicken usually is tough and rubbery because it sat in a warmer all day. This was the first time in a long time I got fried (sweet and Sour) chicken that I knew was fresh. How  you might ask? Because instead of needing a chainsaw to cut it I probably could have cut it with my fork. It was very good. The rice is addicting. The soup reminds me of one of my old favorites in Wok with Wing. The lady that serves I am guessing is the owner. As she often sits at a booth doing the books when she gets a chance. She is very attentive and nice.  Here is the kicker for me and this almost blew my mind. I got my check after the first visit and I swore something was wrong.

Wonton soup

cost me 12 dollars after tip and tax. I have never paid anywhere near 15 dollars for my meal. I am just in total shock at how good this place is.

I actually am starting to like the tables in a home kitchen feeling the other reviewer mentioned. It was pretty busy tonight... almost every booth... about 16...14 they actually could seat at..... was filled. I wanted about a half an hour for my food ... maybe 35 minutes- 40minutes.. But honestly if you were at home how long would it take you to cook a fresh meal? Probably about that time. over all a very good place I recommend it to anyone in the area... except people who insist that good decor and new decor means new food and good food... you i recommend lock yourself in your house because you have no concept of good food.

I'm editing my previous review.  The food here is good, but the service is so awful, that it's just not worth it.

Dining in, it took over an hour to get our food.  And this was at 6:45 on a Wednesday, with only one other table occupied in the dining room.  But I still thought that ordering take-out was worth it.  Not anymore.

We placed an order over the phone and they said it would be ready in 40 minutes.  My brother-in-law showed up on time to pick up the order, and they hadn't even started cooking it yet.  They said it would be another 40 minutes.  We were already really hungry, so we decided to go to a different restaurant.  We tried calling twice to cancel our order, but no one answered and they had no answering machine, so it just rang and rang.

It's good food, but it's not THAT good, to have to put up with such horrible, slow service to get it.  Never going here again.

We tried this after reading great reviews elsewhere.  Now, don't let the scary exterior and tables-in-a-living-room feel inside turn you off.  Sit back, enjoy the silence (you'll more than likely be alone), pretend the lighting is dim and make it romantic, because you're in for some excellent Chinese food.

 My husband enjoyed the orange chicken and I had general tso's...  They are very accommodating on how spicy you want it.  The hot and sour soup was also delish, I think it had small chunks of beef or pork in it.  It was one of my favorite versions by far.  The egg roll was also tasty with their homemade sweet and sour [apple]sauce.  Be prepared for the food to burn blisters on your tongue!  For this reason...

 ... We got take out after work one night.  This time I had kung pao chicken.  Take out was good, with generous portions and definitely was a great value for the money, but I wasn't quite as impressed with this dish.   I was surprised that the owner remembered us - I guess we are easy to remember.  She was very nice.

 This is some of the best Chinese we've had around here!
