Love Peking Wok, worth every penny!!! Take out is great but stay and eat for the ambiance, including a nightly musical performance on the grand piano. read more

Peking Wok is our favorite place to grab quality Chinese cuisine! Just dined there this evening. They followed all Covid protocols and had space heaters to boot, but weren't actually needed on this beautiful North County evening! David provided excellent service as usual! Would highly recommend! We did make a 5:00 dinner reservation, but still at 6:30 when we left, we had the place to ourselves! Plan to go back very soon! read more

Best Chinese Food in North County! Knew this place when it was in Vista and have followed to bonsall. High end food, great atmoshere. A must for date night!!! read more

Great dinner and the 98 year old pianist is pleasure for the ears. The hot and sour soup is top notch. Our waitress Chyna gave excellent services with a smile. Ambiance was nice and we'll come back. read more

We had dinner here Thursday night with friends and all 4 of us loved this place. We had family style and everything was very tasty and seasoned perfectly, we had curry chicken, kung Pau chicken, a shrimp noodle dish, corn chowder soup and eggplant in garlic sauce... the ambiance is nice, the lighting perfection, enjoyable piano player, the servers were friendly and nice, always made sure our water glasses were full ... looking forward to the next visit. I don't understand any negative reviews on this place. read more

This is amazing food, but what will keep us coming back is Aiden, his hospitality is the best.

My wife and I like this place a lot. We often have lunch there and go to a movie. The staff is friendly. The place is comfortable and clean. Liquor is available. The menu has a wide selection of dishes. The prices are reasonable. My favorite dish is the Kung PO chicken. read more

Excellent food and service and wonderful bonus of entertainment by a piano player. We had Walnut Shrimp and Beef with Snow Peas; both were amazing. We will be back! read more

Really terrible food. This was our favorite place, so three of us girlfriends decided to have dinner there. Disappointed how it has changed! Old grease made our noodles taste terrible, still can't get rid of the taste, overpriced and rude waiter! Prices quite high. The waiter was really rude. Asked if we could share the food to go and was obviously not happy . Threw the food in containers with it spilling out of containers, slamming dishes and stalking off. Wow! No way will we go back! Too bad, was a great place once. read more

I love their wor wonton soup! So much that we often drive out from Carlsbad when we're in the mood for Chinese food. Even my Jewish mother from NYC (a tough customer when it comes to Chinese food) said it was one of the best she's had. The wide crispy noodles and sweet and sour/mustard sauce combo also reminds me of the restaurants in NY. We also usually order the lettuce wraps when we're in the mood for a lighter meal, or if we're indulging perhaps the sweet and pungent shrimp with broccoli. The live piano music in the evenings is a nice touch. Unfortunately the service is not really professional; they basically just matter-of-factly take your order and drop off the food. However, it's definitely worth a try if you're in the area (or even if you're not!). read more

The best Chinese food. Everything is so fresh and never lacks flavor. We have yet to try a dish that isn't amazing. The Sesame Chicken is so good! Peters Chicken is another favorite. Lemon chicken is always perfectly cooked and the sauce is great. Everyone you meet there is so friendly and we've never had a bad experience. When you order to go you get a card with a coupon off for your next visit. Amount varies based on the total of your order. read more

They have Gluten Free items on the menu AND Gluten Free soy sauce. Wait staff is always extremely nice as well.

Great food and great service overall. Came here on a Friday evening. It was busy and had a great vibe! It was an awesome experience from Ann the bartender to listening to the piano guy. The service and food were top notch! Definitely will be coming here again! Would highly recommend! Enjoy! read more

If I could give them 10 Stars I would. Quiet, elegant setting amazing service and Excellent food. Good portions and priced reasonably. Enjoy. read more

Best Chinese food in Bonsall, orange chicken cashew chicken broccoli beef they've got it all. Ever since I moved to Bonsall this is the place I get my Chinese food! read more

First time here, and it's during this quarantine. The staff were excellent and extremely pleasant on the phone. I'm not a huge Chinese food fan, but felt compelled to try them and support my local businesses. Ordered a cup of egg drop soup (huge portion for a 'cup'), cheese wontons, veggie fried rice and 3 egg rolls. Food was awesome!! I arrived, it was raining, did the social distance thing, they greated me immediately, smiles and enthusiasm. I only brought $31 cash with me into the restaurant. I was a few dollars short, and the sweethearts just said, "no problem, it's raining, go home and enjoy!!!" Big hearts , I'm very appreciative, Thank you to the ladies at Peking Wok tonight! I owe them a few bucks, plus a tip!! Wish I could give 10 stars, Love you guys!! read more

Best food in town it's some of the best Chinese I've had comparable to some of the top spots in Chicago.

Very nice ambiance. Food is very good. Try the shrimp in lobster sauce and you must try the honey/walnut/wasabe shrimp, their signature dish... awesome. read more

Surprisingly good food and wine selection for such a small rural town. Highly recommend!

Wonderful family dinner. We had a group of eight and we were able to get the VIP room. Service was excellent. There was a pianist playing with the perfect music. We thought all of the main dishes were delicious - twice cooked pork, Mongolian beef, sesame chicken, etc. I would definitely recommend Peking Wok! read more

I'm really shocked about the amount of negative reviews for this place. I have never once had bad service or food here. I have had things I didn't like but it was because of personal preference and taste not about the quality. The plates are big enough that the hubs and I split a plate. We normally order the egg drop soup (best I've ever had), fried dumplings, and then an entrée. The food is consistently good and so is the wait staff. The hot tea is on the house and in the evenings they have a piano man play (my husband really enjoys this). They also give a military discount and so we normally get out of there for less than $30 (not including tip, dinner menu). read more

When I refer people to a more upscale Chinese restaurant this is the place I tell them to go. Once inside you'll see a beautiful fish tank and a neat little bar in the corner if you want some privacy. The piano in the center makes for a good date night if you come while they have a pianist. Get the wasabi shrimp, don't see that one that often. read more

We order wonton soup, to go, got home and had no wonton's, not one! Called back they said they would give us a free soup, next time we came in. Took our name and number. But, when we went in again, 2 months later, they had no record of the soup mishap. And there soup is on the pricier side. Should have credited our card, rather than depended on their integrity. read more

I'm not Asian. I don't plan on being Asian. I don't plan on being adopted by Asians. I took Asian Studies and got an "A" but I'm no more culturally sensitive than a pair of chopsticks. So bear with me for being an ignoramus when it comes to Chinese food. But I do know better than to call this authentic. I do know better than to call this the best Asian food in San Diego. But this much I do know: this was, without a doubt, the best American-Chinese restaurant I've enjoyed in my 24 years of eating non-pre-digested food. The location was not entirely auspicious. Although a Friday night, like most of Bonsall the strip mall in which it is located was deader than a doornail. But my brother was demanding Chinese food and, to tell the truth, I was looking forward to it myself. So with an empty stomach we entered, and we were kind of taken aback by what we saw. A caucasian woman sporting a hairdo like something out of a silent movie was the seating hostess, and an elderly gentleman took to the piano to entertain us with his jazzy impressions of the Great American Songbook. The restaurant felt American, with its clean white tablecloths, booths, indirect lighting, cofferred ceiling, and quiet volume. But cultural anachronisms aside, what we were most shocked at was that this place was PACKED. And packed with all sorts of people - teenagers on dates, senior citizens, families... a whole cross section. The restaurant scarcely pretended to be Asian. Instead, it showed itself to be a true, American restaurant in form... complete with a full bar serving up 12 different variations on the lemon drop martini and a rather extensive wine list. You won't get complimentary tea here, but frankly I don't give a damn... the free stuff always tasted like hot water anyway. The menu is quintessential Americanized chinese fare and after a little debate we went for paper wrapped chicken and a bowl of wor wonton soup for the appetizers, noting the slightly steep price. When the food arrived, however, the steep price proved commensurate with the portion size. The bowl of soup is HUGE, and extremely hearty. The pork wontons were stuffed, and three or four of them pushes one dangerously close to the point of being full. Our entrees of cashew chicken (rich, aromatic, and loaded with much more chicken than cashew), mongolian beef (which possessed a smooth and slightly sweet sauce), and lemon chicken (all white meat, prepared as a breaded loaf, with a tangy sweet sauce) were similarly huge... Three of us could only polish off half of it, and we had enough for dinner the next night. This isn't dim sum or whatever trendy culturally acceptable Asian meal that millennials are supposed to like - this is BIG FULL PLATES OF FOOD. And frankly, it's what I wanted and it's what I like best. So sue me. Service was very attentive if a bit lacking in personality. Our waitress was friendly but our water glasses stood empty more often than I like. As the night wore on, however, that became less noticeable. It's rare that one comes across a meal that comes complete with a side dish of live music that is conversational and soothing in nature. Combined with the heaping servings of foodstuffs, food coma comes very quickly here. Loved it. Will be back. read more

I am giving Jane and her Peking Wok 5* This is a great Chinese Restaurant , and Jane is a exceptional restauranteur ,,, She gets it The place is decorated upscale for any and especially a Chinese restaurant..

Also great to share with entree is the "Eggplant in Hot Garlic Sauce" Peking Wok had a extensive and varied menu -- a great example of fine Asian cooking - Price is moderate/higher but this is not your shopping center TAKE OUT Chinese fare -- This is Gourmet Dining and a great place for "that special occasion" see you again soon Jane read more

Great experience and a fantastic lunch. We met the owner and she was a great host. We felt very full and content. Lunch was great thank you. read more

Hate writing bad reviews (never do) but this place is not good. My husband & I grew up in the LA area (Gardena/Torrance) where we were surrounded by amazing food choices so we're always anxious to places we've never been...always in hopes to capture a great flavor. I'm pregnant and craving good Chinese food so we decided to give Peking Wok a shot for dinner tonight. Big mistake. It was very disappointing. We had the Cheese Wontons, which we figured, it's fried, who can mess that up. They were okay, but way too sweet. With the hot mustard, we managed to give at least 2 each a try. They tasted more like a dessert than an appetizer. We also tried the Chili Dumplings. These were a bit better due to the sauce & onions; but definitely had a frozen then boiled taste. We ate only a couple of those, but at least they were better than the wontons. For our meal we order Pan Fried Noodles with vegetables & Crispy Orange Beef with fried rice. The Beef was hard as a rock, and tasted somewhat burnt. It was like eating old jerky soaked in gravy that was not Chinese tasting at all. Gross! The fried rice wasn't even good that came with it...smelled like dirty socks. The Pan Fried Noodles with brown sauce was absolutely disgusting. The sauce was like a sweet gravy that had a vomit taste to it and the noodles & veggies were drowning in it. I thought, maybe just the veggies will be better. Psych! Not at all. We each took one bite, tried a second bite then spit it out. My husband wanted to just leave money on the table & walk out the door, but I insisted we try to be polite and just ask for our check and never go back. I wasn't sure how much our bill would be but I estimated that we spent around $50. Sure enough, $55 for food that I wouldn't suggest for anyone to ever eat. We quickly paid & left...never looking back. Maybe we ordered the wrong things, but Peking Wok gets a huge "Boo" from us. I guess I'll keep making my own fried rice & chow mein at home. read more

Oh, this place is the BOMB. Generally speaking, I will choose Asian food last in my list of cravings, but this one has become a serious contender. I highly recommend the sizzling rice soup. It's just amazing. I also really love the walnut shrimp. It will probably throw you off at first that they are a shade of green when they come out on the plate, but it's just the wasabi. Don't let it throw you off--totally amazing stuff. The hot tea is excellent, too. I'm kind of snobby about tea and hard to impress, but theirs is good. As an added bonus, there is often a piano player there tickling the ivories. read more

I don't aim to offend anyone but I have to say I just don't know what people are thinking when they give this place such rave reviews; we only tried Peking Wok on the high number of positive reviews. We had a big party and ordered a large variety of dishes; We ordered take-out and live extremely close to the restaurant, so I don't expect everything to be scalding hot but everything was almost completely cold by the time we got back. 1. Fried Shrimp: Nearly cold and tough, like they'd been sitting out a while.Also, they had a very strong fishy smell and nearly no flavor. 2. BBQ Spare Ribs: Tough, mostly fat and cartilage, coating on them was weak in flavor and they were nearly cold. 3: Pork Fried Rice: Lukewarm and tasted really old, like it had sat out and then microwaved. It was also extremely greasy. 4. Sweet and Sour Pork: Sauce was overly sweet, the batter was so thick all you could taste was a lingering flavor of old grease. Almost cold. 5: General Tso's Chicken: Breading was completely soggy like it had been out a long time and the chicken was tough and full of fat. Also had a strange underlying sweetness. 6: Almond Chicken: Same as above, old and tough tasting chicken with a strange sweet aftertaste. 7: Chicken and Broccoli: The single dish that was actually still hot and tasted fresh but the vegetables were undercooked and it was completely flavorless. 8: Vegetable Lo Mein (soft noodles): It was ice cold and was so over-cooked it about dissolved in your mouth. I nearly gagged on it and it was also flavorless...although, it could have tasted great it'd still be revolting due to the overly mushy noodles and soggy veggies. All in All, everything just had the taste and texture of old, re-heated food. And for the prices they charge it's pretty in-excusable. Did we just happen to try them on a bad night? Maybe, but we won't be back to find out. read more

First time eating at this restaurant. The egg drop soup we order is to die for! My husband and I absolutely loved it. Especially on a cold night like we enjoyed. The food came out fast and hot. Generous portions. The house tea with a dash of honey was perfect. They had live music which we enjoyed. The ambiance was quite lovely! read more

If I could give no stars I could . The food is very bland and over priced. I know they serve a older crowd and might not want to add salt. But this is the worst Chinese food I have ever had, my mom was visiting and she couldn't believe how bad it is. Everything taste the same, brown gooey sauce, Cashew Chicken and Kung pao chicken had same flavor not heat at all for Kung pao. I also ordered the chop suey it had like 10 bean sprouts in it. Terrible food. I suspect it has MSG because we both got diarrhea about 15 min after read more

Hubby and I went in on an average Thursday night. There were 3 couples already waiting for tables when we went inside, so we knew we had to wait. Even though we stood at the hostess stand, no one ever acknowledged us. One by one the other couples were led to their respective tables, until we were the only ones left standing. Hostesses, servers continued to brush past us, never saying a word. After a few moments a new couple walk thru the door. The hostess looks up and asks how many we're in their party, collects menus, and proceeds to take them to a table. The couple protested, saying that we were there before them....at which time she looked up and said she could seat us in a moment. We informed her that it wouldn't be necessary, we would go anywhere else. I will never go back after such demeaning treatment. Shame on you! read more

The first time I went there was for a family dinner, and the service was terrible. The second time I went there was to celebrate fathers day, and the service was atrocious--albeit, the food is pretty good. To get to the point: the waitress doesn't introduce herself or smile, so much so in fact, that our entire party wondered if she had a descent understanding of the English language. There was four of us, and she messed up three different orders. It took twenty five minutes /after/ we ordered before they brought out our tea. Tea! Then she brought out the wrong starter item (a full 40 minutes after we ordered) and argued with my father about the order. She insisted that's what he had ordered (trust me.. it wasn't.) Finally, the main courses were brought out (55+ minutes after we ordered). The water refills were at 20-25 minute intervals.. and considering that the water glasses have the volume akin to that of a shot glass, that's sort of ridiculous. I don't think the waitress once asked if we were doing okay, if our food tasted good, if we needed anything else, said "you're welcome," nor did her face break into a hint of a smile. In summation: food is decent, service is awful, and bring a snack while you wait for your food... (perhaps a book, my girlfriend just chimed in!) read more

Wow, just wow! Excellent meal with the freshest ingredients. Mr. had lettuce wraps and said they were delicious. I had my standard; eggplant in hot spicy garlic sauce. It was by far the best I've had. The place is clean, the service was excellent, prices are good. Finally, good chinese food in North County. read more

LIVE piano is epic! Food is almost as good! Really enjoy all of the meals, but especially like the orange chicken and fried rice!

Peking Wok is our local go to Chinese food place! Everything we have tried is delicious! We especially love the Mongolian Beef and potstickers. The ingredients are always very fresh and cooked to perfection! read more

My husband and I are not from this area and have been searching for good Chinese food since we've been here. We tried this place based on the great reviews and got really excited about eating there. We were thoroughly disappointed. It wasn't even kinda good or okaay, even....it was terrible! And WAY over priced. My husband and I got 2 dinner entrees, an order of wontons and 2 eggrolls, and it was $50. Also, the cream cheese wontons had like a lemon or orange flavor to them. Very odd. We will not be returning. Panda Express is better than this, and cheaper. And the search continues... read more

The food is good. The service sucks. We called an order half hour before we picked up, food still wasn't ready. And we gave them a pick up time. Sad. I had the shrimp in lobster sauce. It was good, the corn chowder was good too. However, service was not on point.. read more

I would give it a 5th star if I was a Chinese food fan overall. I'm not, mainly because besides being hungary an hour later you're up 3 pounds on the scale in the morning. That said, these guys make some Chinese food that rocks. We had some kind of fried prawn dish that was divine, as well as everything else we had. It was worth the 3 pounds! read more

I don't want to be too hard on them because it's a remote location with few decent restaurants. But I really think that Panda Express is much, much better. read more
