This is our go-to take out place. They make dishes that most other restaurants do not and today's order is not a reflection of that. Quality/Quantity - Today we got the following for the Lunar New Year potluck we were attending: Walnut Prawns $18.95 - Always a hit, and first item to be eaten at our potlucks. Beef Simmered in Five Chinese Spices $14.95 - I actually liked this, but no one else ate it... Marinated Jellyfish $15.95 - Good, always consistent. Beef Chow fun $15.95 - Just okay. Surprised that so few people ate this dish, including my daughter as that is her go to item. We also picked up a whole fish, but another guest at the potluck ordered and paid. We offered to pick up since we were going there anyway. Atmosphere - Small local restaurant. Metered street parking, good luck. Easy for us as we do pick up. One person waits in the car and the other runs in and picks up. Open 7 days a week from 11am to 8pm. Service - Good. It helps that we are regular customers. Price - $72. Also a 25¢ charge for each to-go container and bag, see picture. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success for 40+ years! We have been customers for a long time. read more

We visited as a family of four and, unfortunately, didn't have the best experience. Our server came by once or twice to take our order and bring the food, but that was about it. No one cleared our plates, which sat in front of us throughout our conversation. It would've been nice to have a bit more attentiveness there. The table and menus were sticky, which immediately gave off an unclean vibe. The decor was another issue--tons of flowers and leftover birthday balloons that had clearly been up for weeks. Instead of feeling cheerful, the space felt heavy and even reminded me of a funeral home, especially with the musky smell coming from the flower water near our table. The food didn't redeem things. We ordered four different entrées and rice, but nothing really hit the mark. The rice had an odd taste, and overall, the flavors were just off. On a positive note, the tea was good. Parking can be a bit tricky outside, but the restaurant itself is spacious and could comfortably accommodate a lot of people. That said, with more attention to cleanliness, fresher decor, and better food quality, this place could really shine. read more

Peking Restaurant - Shanghainese Near Me - San Francisco, California

I was in search of a Chinese restaurant in San Francisco that wasn't insanely busy at 6.30 pm and which had some open parking spaces nearby, and this was the one that fit the bill. The old-style glossy interior was in fact nearly deserted, which is normally a very bad sign at that hour, but behold, the food was pretty good. My cumin lamb (not a dish you'll find everywhere) was lean slices of lamb that did in fact taste of cumin (not always true), though not at all spicy, combined with slices of onion and bell pepper. Nice-tasting food; quantity quite satisfactory. Only problem was that, though the service was friendly, the food delivery was slow. My order was taken with reasonable dispatch, but it took something like half an hour before my pot sticker appetizer arrived, and longer still for the entree. At least it came with a simple apology for the time. read more

+ Authentic Shanghainese and Szechuan cuisines, even though the name of the temple restaurant is Peking. If you like Shanghainese or Szechuan food, you won't be disappointed. + Attentive service + Free Chinese dessert after dinner + They have been in business for 40+ years. It's a San Francisco legacy. + No wait on a Sunday night. We got seated right away. Lots of tables for seating. + No frill. But nice and clean. Great for family dinner. read more

I only came here for the hot and sour soup. Ordered a size M container to go, which was enough for 3 people. This soup was perfect for a cold evening with lots of stuff inside including tofu, bamboo shoots, and wood ear mushrooms. To my surprise, there was shrimp inside too. I highly recommend the hot and sour soup. read more

Peking Restaurant - Shanghainese Near Me - San Francisco, California

I used to come here a lot as it's close to my house and the lady here is super nice. One night I ordered Mongolian beef to go. When I got home I saw that was half onion (both yellow and green) and the meat had that weird mouthfeel when left in a baking soda bath for too long. The kicker is, when I home and dumped it onto a plate so I could get rid of half the onions I noticed about 1 cm of the bottom was filled with what looked like old, chopped up noodles...as if to fool me with some sort of filler! Seriously cheesy move there... Won't be going back. read more

Food delicious, location is great. Employees are friendly. Ambiance is awesome. Thank you so much.

I completely forgot about this place until a friend suggested meeting up for lunch here. I used to frequent this place when I worked nearby and even brought my kids when they were toddlers. Just like back then, this pace has solid Shanghai and Szechwan dishes. While I love their noodles, stir fried rice cakes and sautéed fish dishes, surprisingly, my favorite is their sweet and sour pork. No seriously, hear me out! The pork is nice lean and juicy pieces in a light batter, with the sauce not too sweet nor too heavy. It comes with a good amount of pineapple chunks and multi color cubed peppers. I don't know how it comes out so crisp whit the sauce on it, but now I crave it. Service is good and very friendly, and while the inside doesn't seem busy, they seem to have continually take out orders. If you need a good place for meeting a group, this is a good last minute option. Enjoy! read more

Seems like people are very split about their opinions about this place, but I've definitely had excellent experiences (all delivery). I've tried a number of their dishes, and admittedly not all of them are stellar. However, what I keep going back for is their Mapo Tofu (really strong on the mala pepper and is truly excellent) and their Szechuan beef noodle soup. Prices are standard for this area, delivery is fast, and quality/quantity is consistent. Will continue to be a regular. read more

Very disappointing order...this is during "stay in place". Ordered walnut prawns, Lemon chicken, tomato beef chow mein, Fried Wonton, Eggplant & rice. Normally, I love this resturaunt. Usually known by locals for thier fresh & tasty food. Today..something was off in dodge. Food not even close to the normal yummy. Very disappointed with the order...with the exception of the eggplant...the food was painfully horrible. The chicken was hard slivers...shouldn't have been served. The prawns were off...tasted stale. The chow mein was salty. Overall..just a miss for our dinner. read more

Always great food and portions. Very large variety of items. The staff is very nice and has remembered us throughout the years and always been ready to help with any requests, especially with food allergies. Been a classic for many years for our family! read more

The reason why I constantly come back here is mainly because of three things: (1) They accept credit cards. (2) Customer service is amazing! (3) THEY TAKE CREDIT CARDS!!! Seriously, how hard is it to start accepting credit cards. Even having a minimum charge (like this establishment does) is so much better than having to carry cash around just to be able to eat at a Chinese restaurant pretty much anywhere in the Outer Sunset. Get with the times, people! Now, onto the food. The food is good! I always get something that is off-menu and she always remembers what I want to get and it's great! Pretty much anything I order here is reliable and fresh. I never get bad customer service here so that's another big part of why I love getting food here. With that said, I've never dined-in or ordered delivery here. I've always just picked up my food. However, judging from the reviews, it seems that the weak link at this establishment are their delivery drivers. So maybe that's one thing they can work on. read more

I typically only have Chinese food (other than dim sum) when I have dinner with the family or when I order delivery.

I didn't have to add anything to give it taste! The green beans were good too. Still retained a nice crunch. The roommate ordered the chicken since he wanted to try something new. It wasn't very good and not really that spicy. It did have black mushrooms which I love eating. The rest of the dishes were pretty average. Decent chinese food and pretty good prices for delivery. read more

Peking is a good Chinese restaurant near 19th Ave. on Noriega. I found this place on accident, once the Korean place I like across the street seems to be closed down. The hot and sour soup is awesome, not too hot or too sour with a very deep rich broth that makes it one of the best hot and sour soup I've ever tasted! Both times I've been here I ordered the spicy house chicken, and it is very good with black mushrooms. The lunch specials cost about six dollars and range up to nine dollars at most. The service is typical to Chinese restaurants, spotty at times, but that's OK. Come here for the hot and sour soup alone, and you end up ordering several things off the menu. Will be back soon to explore the menu, and provide an update. read more

As a native San Franciscan I have been so disappointed by the closing of so many of my favourite restaurants, but ,finally, I have found a Chinese gem!! And it is in my neighbourhood !! My favourite dish is their Fried Rice-any kind and my other favourite is their soups. One night,all we ordered was soup and appetizers. Hot & Sour Soup read more

Average food. Bait and switch. We received two -$50 gift certificates for this restaurant and decided to try it out. We looked on line and jotted down the orders and it came below $50. So I drove there with both of our certificates expecting to use only one. Behold, the prices on site do not match the on line menu. In fact it was about 50% higher. Luckily, I had both certificates with me. The food was very typical Chinese restaurant - nothing really outstanding - but what riles me is that the prices are much higher than shown on line. Since they do mainly to go orders, it would behoove them to update their prices so that customers don't feel like they got rooked. read more

This restaurant is the best. I didn't know where to go for lunch while working in San Francisco so I picked this place. Holy crap... this food is some of the best Chinese food I've had in a very long time! I got the General Chicken, a go too staple for me. It knocked my socks off! Food was hot, crispy, and had great flavor. This was a DoorDash order so I didn't get into the atmosphere of the place, but I can definitely vouch for their food! read more

I went for lunch with a friend and I absolutely loved the whole experience. It was like going to a family member's house because everyone was so friendly and helpful. The food was amazing! It was my first time trying Szechuan Spicy Sliced Fish and Black Mushrooms and Spinach and I loved every bite of both!!

Great food and great service! Relaxed environment and wonderful spot.

[M]ona: 4 Stars [W]ayne: 4 Stars Average: 4 Stars + Good chicken salad + Lunch menu is cheap + Affordable for the entire family + Children friendly and nice staff + Takeout Coupons [W] This is a good spot on Noriega for all those people who aren't willing to go into Chinatown for the real stuff. The dishes that I really enjoy is the chicken salad and their Hong Kong style crispy noodles. I ordered take-out the other day and tried their Mandarin Chicken which was really good as well! If you eat in, it's always the usual same two people. The nice lady and the server which looks like a big old bear that you can't understand. All I ever understand from him is when he says "you want rice?" other than that, it sounds like jibberish but its ok. When ordering take-out, normally you would expect to get rice for free (It is an Chinese place isn't it?), but no, they actually charge for rice! As being Chinese myself I think that is ridiculous. I think that was the only down side. Other than that, I recommend just eating at the restaurant itself. Don't forget, if you order out and order $15 bucks or more, I believe they give you a free chicken salad with their coupons on the take-out menu. They're not going to tell you about that so remember to look at the take-out menu first. Another thing weird about this place is that they have two separate menus. One for the Chinese people with their "special" stuff and a separate one for tourist. I don't understand why they need to do that but I find it annoying when they automatically stereotype me and give me the Chinese menu which I find very confusing. You'll understand what I mean when you see it yourself. The other menu is definitely much easier to order from because they split all the entrees into categories such as poultry, seafood, pork, beef, vegetables, etc. read more
