People usually default to their local "chinese spot", but this place was especially good. I dined in, which is unusually for a cuisine conjoined to "takeout". The inside is huge, it has a koi pond, and it's decked out in decor.The menu is great. It has pictures of EVERYTHING. I hate big menus, but this is a good exception. I love to see what I'm getting before I order.The baby bok choi was fresh and bright green, and the brisket hot pot was incredible. I'm already craving it and want to go back!

Chinese food is part of my soul along with rare spectacular Italian food ( Little Italy NYC 1970's-80's). I have been SO lucky to have grown up in the northern suburbs of NYC Chinatown 1960's. We had the very very best then! So when I still glow (12+ years) about the top quality of cuisine and amazing selection of truly top top exquisite Chinese food here at Peking Garden, it is from deep down in my soul.Their sauces are to die for. My favorite are their pea tips added rarely to select proteins. One is crab and pea tips... mmmm.When you move and live in a town with lousy terrible Chinese food, depression and longing set in. Only THEN... do you realize what you had at Peking Garden!!Enjoy!

This is one of my favorite Chinese restaurants! I didn't get a good picture of all the food I got but I like the new layout of the place. Very spacious and the interior design looks great! Parking is also available. My favorite dish to get is the golden glazed smelt with pepper. It's so good I crave this all the time!! Other dishes I got was seafood stir fry noodles, Peking duck, veggies and this fried fish. The fried fish is the only thing I wouldn't get again. There was too much batter so, I didn't taste any fish. Other than that, everything else was really good! The workers are nice and friendly. They didn't check up on us as much. But overall if you are wanting to try authentic Chinese food, Peking is a great place to go.

I ordered the salt and pepper smelt fish, the congee with pork and century egg, and the Ong choy (Chinese water spinach).All dishes were good! The smelt fish was crispy, flavorful, and well balanced with the bell peppers. The congee was tasty too, and could've used a little more ginger. Lastly, the Ong choy was garlicky and crunchy. It was more on the salty side though.I used yelp pictures to order over the phone because I didn't see the vegetable dishes (stir fried pea tip vegetables and Chinese water spinach) on the website menu. If they update their website menu, then that would be helpful to customers who want to order online.Overall though, the food is good and I'd order from here again! If you want something you don't see on the menu, I recommend calling and asking.

This is one of my favorite Asian restaurants in St Paul and anywhere in the twin cities for that matter. This place is amazing it for parties, date night, lunch meetings or take out. I always have a hard time deciding when I come here I have my core favorites and sometimes they will even make something for you that's off the menu (Like the spare ribs in there bean sauce so amazing) tonight I got my faves the triple crown which is deliciously perfectly steamed vegetables broccoli, pea pods carrots, corn simmered in this amazing sauce and of course the triple threat... Jumbo shrimp, chicken and beef. That comes with a side of steamed rice however I always opt out for beside of their house fried rice (there's a little bit of an extra charge but it's totally worth it) And I paired that with one of my favorite appetizers of the crispy spring rolls. The prices are so reasonable the portions are plentiful and the service is always friendly and accommodating. This is definitely one of my go-to's and if you haven't been I would highly recommend!!

Hunan beef is tender and tasty. Huge portions. Great decorations inside the restaurant. Lots of parking in the back.

I fell in love with the beef chow mein. It was really good. Everything we got was good. The house fried rice to the walnut shrimp. It is worth eating here with a big family. The service was good, we got refill of water all the time. And the ambiance was night and not too loud, it was getting late and not many people there. The beef short rib was delicious and it wasnt salty or too sweet. Very mix of savory and sweet. I dont remember the pork dish, but that one was very delicious, although it was sweet, you can switch to the fried rice. The chinese broccoli was really good. Definitely hit the spot when youre eating too much meat. The tofu dish was good, but if after eating it a couple of times, i didnt like it as much. Still a very delicious and yummy meal over all this location! The walnut shrimp, the shrimp is so big, it is a must get.

I love this place !!!!!!! The food is traditional tasty and affordable. I have been going to the restaurant for over 25 years from the U of M to University Avenue in Saint Paul. The service is great the people are friendly and it is very kid friendly. My daughter who in now 30 learned to eat with chop sticks there . Five stars plus for Peking Garden !!!!!!!

Stopped by here for dinner in a big group. This is the new location which I hadn't been to. They use to be in the Midway Shopping center and are now located off of Dale St. and University Avenue. The new location is bigger and updated with new decor and a clean and open environment.We had reservations so were seated right away, and got our waters and asked for the drinks. The service was good and they were attentive other than the fact that the servers that were bringing food couldn't take extra orders for food and we had to wait for our server for the food.T?he cream cheese wontons, the fried rice, the crispy fired fish and the lo mein were all very good. So was the beef and chicken dishes we ordered.All in all a good dining experience with the food quality on par with other restaurants of this category. If you are in the neighborhood and want some decent Chinese food, I would give this a try. I wouldn't go out of my way to seek it out.

My quest to find good Chinese food on the east side of town brought me to Peking Garden. Ordered the Kung Pao Chicken(extra spicy) and Young Chow Fried Rice for takeout. Both items were really solidly done, tasted good and the portions were very respectable for the price. Kung Pao had filler and the chicken could have been of better quality but they nailed the spice and flavor. The fried rice was perfectly done and wonderful. This is the kind of place I had hoped to be able to find closer to home in Woodbury. Solid, tasty, reasonably priced Chinese food I'd be happy to get any day of the week when that hankering kicks in.
