Peking Restaurant in Cambridge

Fantastic food - probably the best Chinese restaurant that I've been to.

It was our first meal with friends since the whole COVID thing kicked off. Expected the place to be busy, but it is was very quiet, almost disturbingly so. The food was decent, but not brilliant. Egg fried rice was a bit oily. The prices were high, £15+ for a main course. And they don't take cards so we had to visit a nearby cashpoint. Friendly service though they didn't seem to know their menu too well and it took a lot of repeating and pointing to get it down. Highlight was the hot and sour chicken with peppers. But they need to drop their prices and start taking electronic payment as a bare minimum.

This place is really great, but it's now an Italian restaurant called Al Pomodoro. I couldn't figure out how to change it on the website. But if you're looking for Chinese food, you'll be disappointed.

Food is good when I had it from Deliveroo. So though I would visit the place in person. As soon as I sat down look at the meun, I realised they only take cash. Providing this place is quite pricey, I am surprised they do not take card at all. A meal here for one person can easily cost £20-30.So when I said to the old lady that I do not have enough cash with me and need to go and get some cash across the road, she insisted I should order the food first so they will be ready by the time I came back. Her attitude as if I would run away and not come back... I am afraid i won't be returning.

Having read the recent reviews we almost cancelled but on Boxing Day there was little else open. We are very pleased we didn't. We had an excellent meal and the staff, particularly the lovely lady front of house who gave us all hugs on exit, couldn't have been friendlier. So how is there such a dichotomy between love it or hate it? We were a party of 10 on our own with no time constraint. The main plates are very large (and thus may appear expensive) and arrive piping hot individually, so serving a large meal takes time. I imagine that when the restaurant is full, this can cause extra delay and thus disquiet and possible cause to speak with the owner/chef, who spent all his time in the kitchen when we were there, in a stressful situation. My only criticism is the cash only payment which I agree is ridiculous these days; I had to carry £400 on me for our meal for 10, which I don't like doing. The lack of parking is incidentally true but I have no sympathy with anyone who cannot walk from parking 5 minutes away in the multi-storey next to the Junction. In summary then, be prepared for a long leisurely meal and you will be rewarded.

The service was terrible. Slow at bringing out food, rude manager/ chef, non working appliances. The food was okay. The egg fried rice we ordered was plain boiled rice with an “omelet” thrown in. We had ordered steamed fish which took forever because their gas wasn’t working so they went next door to the dumpling tree, which I recommend (little pricy) to finish the dish. I would only recommend their dumplings.

This place is really underrated. This is not a cheap Chinese restaurant but a very decent one with good quality of Chinese foods.Location and interior may be a bit odd with mixed perception of a take away Chinese foods.I was passing by that area and dropped in because it's convenient. When I walked in I felt like "don't expect much" as not many people around that evening and interior was not impressive. However, foods turned out to be excellent quality with good and attentive services.For me, it is great value for money with price above average but unbeatable quality. If they redo the interior with more promotion, this definitely beat many other places in Cambridge.

This place was such a surprise! We ordered takeout - the containers were twice the size of most Chinese restaurants and the food was out of this world! All fresh ingredients and cooked to perfection. We had the deep fried beef in chilli and the prawns with ginger, chilli and spring onions. The beef melted in your mouth as it was so tender, and the prawns had a nice bite. The sauce wasn't greasy or too sugary. We felt nourished and healthy. When we went to collect, the staff were so friendly and accommodating. Worth the money - definitely!

Been there just one time for a work lunch, the menu was predefined but I cannot complain about anything. We played 25£ each but we had a lot of food.Quality wise I found it quite interesting, spicy prawns are highly suggested. The aubergines also was really tasty.I'll come back again.

We asked the chef to make our choices and we were treated to an amazing selection. Beef, prawn, duck, chicken, fish, aubergine & pork dishes were all delicious, high quality ingredients.
