Peking House

Had a Friday dinner with a former workmate, satisfying our Chinese food cravings. Always enjoy black tea, though there was a stain in the cup--maybe lemon. Not a big deal. The restaurant was spacious with ample parking, but funny enough, we were the only ones there! After leaving, we discovered another room--it was a bar. Now we know where everyone was! Tried the house special soup; not as "special" as expected, just egg, shrimp, peas, and carrots, but still tasty. Followed by broccoli, mushroom, and the highlight--beef fried rice! The service is excellent, and they even help organize the leftovers we couldn't finish! A delightful evening that left both my tummy and mind happy.

Very good Chinese American take out. The vibe of the facility is definitely a different area, but the North City neighborhood would not be what it is without the addition of Peking House. The crab Rangoon is delicious!

The food here scares me. I would not want to get sick. The service and bartenders here are super nice. I can get a drink here and it's all good. The minute that I bring food into the equation I'm always disappointed. I would give this a five star for service and bartender, but a -5 star for the food. I guess that leaves me at a 0 star but I'm gonna give it 1 because the employees are cool.

Horrible service. The lady that works there was SO RUDE! The broccoli beef was fatty and the hot and sour soup was so sweet. The other food was very bland.

I was so sore and tired from physical therapy and didn't feel like cooking tonight so I decided to go here. Parking is a little tough here during the evening bc people are in the bar area enjoying some classic 80s rock like Bon Jovi. When you walk in I felt like I was transported back in time to some old school classic Chinese restaurant. It's a nice atmosphere but you can tell it's old school in there. I ordered for take out this time but I definitely plan to dine in soon. On tonight's menu was the egg flower soup, really unique from what I'm used to it had fresh corn and tomatoes in it and the flavor is delicious. Also had my go to order of crab Rangoons, you really can't go wrong with these crunchy appetizers. The for the main course I had the honey shrimp and beef fried rice. I would want some more sauce for the shrimp and the fried rice was good no complaints here. I'll definitely be back in to try some more dishes. I was thinking initially it'd be like a real Chinese food restaurant but it's really American style Chinese food dishes nothing wrong with that. It's very good and they had my order prepared in no time at all. Looking forward to my next visit.

I have not dined in the restaurant for a long time. I order take out. I just would like to say that the food is fantastic, the people that run the counter are very friendly. You can have awesome Chinese food usually ready in 20 minutes. I sure am happy they are there when I have a hankering for Chinese food.I have never written a Yelp review before, but after my dinner tonight I thought I should.I think its a place that has been there so long its now flying under the radar.You wont be disappointed !!!Regards

I should have checked Yelp first. The google reviews were okay when I pulled up directions but I got excited because the parking lot was pretty full. I ordered the General Tso Chicken, my go-to choice for any new Chinese Food Restaurant I try. It was pretty bad, perhaps among the worst I've ever had. The chicken was overcooked to the point most of the pieces were very hard and dry. The sauce wasn't great but it would have been passable if the chicken was cooked properly. The staff was polite and the decor was pretty standard for a Chinese restaurant.

Food is extremely good. Bar is your typical creepy wasted old people about to croak kind of place but cheap!!!

After trying many Chinese restaurants in the North Seattle area, we've been consistently impressed with the consistency and quality of Peking House. I typically order the Mongolian Beef, and my wife usually orders the broccoli with chicken, and we have yet to be unhappy with it. Absolutely delicious, and totally consistent. The only reason I'd give it 4 stars instead of 5 has nothing to do with the food or the service. It has to do with the fact that they don't play music in the dining area. The thing about music is that it helps people feel comfortable to talk with each other around the tables. When there is no music, people whisper because they are self-conscious about being the loudest sound in the room. It's kind of like having dinner in a mausoleum. It's just weird to see 4 or 5 tables of people all talking under the breath with each other. I know it sound super petty to mention this, but as someone who's been facilitating groups for years, it's sort of "Room Dynamics 101." We don't actually eat in the dining room anymore (we just do takeaway) because of how awkward and uncomfortable it feels to eat in such a silent environment. If they get that part figured out, we'll be happy to go back and eat there on-site. Other than that--we LOVE the food, and the very nice restaurant staff, and it will continue to be our go-to for takeaway.

The bathrooms are disgusting. There are boxes and supplies piled up like a hoarder. The sweet and sour chicken had cold vegetables and no pineapple. The drinks were subpar. The service was slow. I wish I could rate them higher as there are not that many good Chinese restaurants around. I like Chinese food but here.
