    Singapore pancit
    Precilia N.

    My go-to spot for Chinese food in Athens! It's incredibly close to my apartment, so it's a no brainer I go here. Close proximity AND delicious food? Can't be beat. Food: I usually order the combination Mongolian beef with white rice. I used to order it with roast pork fried rice but they changed it recently and now it's only chicken fried rice. The chicken that comes with the fried rice isn't that good so I'd avoid it if I were you. The white rice mixed with the Mongolian beef sauce though? Divine! Instead of an egg roll that comes with the combination, I swap it out for a canned drink. By the time I'm done with my food, I am so full. It doesn't look like a lot, but trust me, it's enough. You won't get any leftovers but you won't be feeling hungry after a meal either. Today I also ordered their Singapore pancit. It's an unsung hero for sure. It has rice noodles with green onions, white onions, roast pork, chicken, shrimp, and egg. If you're ever drunk or hungover, this will give you life. I highly recommend their food! Price: I bought the combination meal and Singapore pancit today for $17.17 total. I got a drink included in my combination meal, so it's a bang for your buck. If I had just gotten one entree, it'd only be around $8 each. Service/Atmosphere: I usually am helped by a young girl with glasses or an older woman who always has a hat on. Both aren't talkative but they always make sure my order is right whenever I have special requests. They're quite patient with me. While they may not smile all the time, they're good workers! It's always pretty quiet when I go inside too since most people order to-go (like myself) so it's not hard to hold conversations in there when I do decide to come with my boyfriend or friends. Overall: Great place with great food. While it's not my absolute favorite Chinese restaurant ever, it is my favorite in Athens. It satisfies my cravings and it's often open late hours! The reason I docked a star is that the fried rice isn't that great with the chicken and I have gotten sick there once. Sometimes they can skimp out on the protein portion too. Unfortunately I had no picture of my combination meal since I scarfed it down as soon as I got it, but I can't wait to open my pancit for later!

    Saracha, seseme oil, or soy sauce couldn't save this stale, old refrigerator tasting Singapore noodles with god help you fried rice.

    I normally don't hate chinese food but this looked good at first, but man this tasted like an old crappy fridge that has NEVER been cleaned. The food tasted old and reheated. The food was not "not" edible but boy it was a TASK. I threw most of it away, I feel like I wasted my money and fear of a looming sickness. The service was great. I'm starting to feel a little sick just smelling my breath. Good luck but HEED MY WARNING!!

    Ginormous party tray portion for $42 in 2022. And it tastes great too!!!

    It is NOT POSSIBLE to criticize anything about this place. $42 including tax for about one week's dinner for one person. The portions are ginormous, the food tastes great, and the service is NEVER hit or miss. Reliable service in 2022 at 2020 prices... that says it all. We love the beef with broccoli. It never advertises and it doesn't need coupons to be excellent value.

    Lunch size shrimp and broccoli with fried rice

    They are super nice. Their fried rice comes with vegetables like onions and carrots which I like. I got the shrimp and broccoli and it was good.

    For chinese food in Athens, you can't really do better for the price. Standard American style chinese food

    OK it is crazy that I can recall this building and restaurant from 1986 when I graduated UGA…read more However I have never been here before that I can remember. I wanted some Chinese food today and after a brief Yelp search we decided that today we would go to Peking! The name itself is old school, how long ago has it been since Beijing took over? The outside of the building sure looks like a 1970's - 80's Chinese restaurant. The interior continues the retro look, and is exactly what I was hoping to see. The certificate of occupancy at the entrance says 1988 but I am certain there has been a restaurant here for longer. Ok on to the food. Yelpers say there is a huge menu here. That must be for dinner. The lunch menu has all your basic and expected Chinese menu items as a lunch combo. The TLDR is the food was good but not great, everything needed more seasoning. Our combos started with hot and sour soup with the required chips. The soup was sour yes, but could have used some more spice. My general Tso chicken came out hot and crispy. Seemed to be all white meat but was cooked a little too long so not exactly tender and juicy. The sauce was red and sweet. Sometimes the General adds some vegetables, but not today. Although the menu had the hot pepper symbol by this item, no spice detected. The rice was fine, seemed to be lightly stir fried with egg bits. The egg roll was a limp instrument with some kind of meat in it. It tasted fine. Megan had the beef and broccoli. There was plenty of both beef and broccoli and other veggies included. The problem again was lack of seasoning. The meal was sauced together with a bland tan gravy like you might put on some roast beef. Even though her plate said "Peking" on it, Megan did not like her meal so we split my huge chicken plate, which she liked a lot. This lunch was a good example of the old "the food is not great but the portions are huge" saw. Service was not fast but was ok. I would give this another try for dinner, but probably not lunch.

    Love Peking since I was little. My family has always come here and never had any issues or…read morecomplaints. Authentic Chinese cuisine. The service is always good. The restaurant is very friendly and also Chinese cultural designs. Have to try it yourself ! Huge hole in the spot even though the place is literally a kingdom. 10/10

    I told my guy it was HIS turn to plan a "food night". We both have been craving Chinese for a few…read moredays. We also needed to do our laundry, there's our dinner spot had to be in the area of our laundry mat. Prerequisites: He looked for a menu, and the golden rule: if you look at Google pictures and there are NO Chinese people posting pictures, it's NOT legit food. A to Z Grocery and Chinese Food reminded me of the family owned establishments I'd visit when abroad. You could go to a restaurant, but the real deal would be in the back of a corner "everything" shop. What to expect: A small hole in the wall place with everything you need, even a slot machine in the back. The place had a steady stream of people coming in to get whatever they needed from cigarettes to chips and baking soda. They even make "American Food" hamburgers, fries, etc. This was straight up in the middle of nowhere, and looked kinda busted from outside. Okaaaay, I'm down 100%! We walked in to two white folding tables in the center of a small "everything" market. I knew I was in the right place. I asked the young man at the checkout counter, "are you still serving food?" It was 15 minutes before closing. Yes! I ordered the sweet & sour chicken and Crab Rangoons. (Safe rarely disappointing meal.) 2 minutes later I hear the fryer in the back being slayed over. Noice! Cooked to order. I asked if they had any rooster sauce for sale - my mission to find some after they factory stopped making it over a year ago is real. #facts The young man didn't know what rooster sauce was, but his family member came out with a BIG jar and knew what I was referring to. Those who know, KNOW! HIM:"They don't sell this anymore" ME: "I know!" None for sale, but they gave me a to-go cup full. Awe, how nice! Perfect for my corn beef hash Filipino style I planned to make for my Friday meal. The food came out SUPER hot! FYI this is "American" Chinese food, not the food you'd find in mainland China. I don't think my guy would eat that TBH. Unless it's duck. We got exactly what we were looking for: Hot, fresh, family owned, everything market food. They were closing a few minutes after we were served (9pm). The young man said we can eat, he "wouldn't mind staying after closing". I loved that. Left him a tip just for that. This will be our regular laundry night in Cornelia food spot. The drive to it is off the road - which is something we gravitate toward. Adventure time! I highly recommend A to Z Grocery and Chinese Food if you want quick & fresh American Style Chinese food. REASONS TO VISIT: 1.Reasonable prices 2. Great service 3. Family owned 4. Full menu 5. Decent flavors 6. Legit Chinese corner everything store ambiance
