Peking China Restaurant

Excellent food, reasonable prices. Curry chicken was wonderful. Variety flavored soup was plenty for two of us for lunch.

We came in for the buffet and was not disappointed. Staff is friendly and food is hot and good. The atmosphere is calm and the price is very reasonable –what more can a person ask for.

Peking China, the only chinese restaurant around for miles if you live in Elkton. As the only option, it’s okay. The food is usually hot and fresh but it depends more on what time you come into the restaurant. Sometimes the food is a bit hard from staying out too long. As years and years have gone by, they’ve managed to keep the food tasting exactly the same. Usually pretty clean and the staff is always very friendly. However, the buffet is relatively small. Random fact: Back in the 90s, the place use to send out Christmas Cards to their customers through the mail.

Got take out from here on a Friday night around 6:30. Over the phone they said it would be 15 minute. When I got there there was a line of 5 people and growing waiting for take out. The two lady’s working there seemed quite frazzled. It took about 10 minutes to get my food which normally I don’t care about but I had people waiting in the car.
With that said onto the food now, which happens to be the worst Chinese (general tsos) I’ve ever eaten. The egg roll with the combo was tiny, not that that is an issue because the surplus of food in a combo meal is more than enough but just pointing it out. The fried rice was straight up garbage. It was that yellow rice with a couple of peas. The tso itself was more chewy than crispy like they packages up some buffet leftovers.
Now I’m from up north so we have a little higher standard in Chinese. Not sure if it different in this area but if it’s the only option at least it’s edible.

The lunch buffet food was typical Chinese dishes like Kung Pao Chicken, Mongolian Beef, Chow Mein, ect. Definitely not bad food, but nothing special either. The price was super cheap, only $ 5.95 for lunch buffet. However, I went in the summer and there were two flies that kept flying around and I was concerned they had already landed on the food trays in the buffet. That was upsetting. I don’t think I would go there again, although they do get consistently good business around lunch time. I guess flies don’t bother everyone. Try to go after 1pm and there will be more people, which helps with the freshness of the food since they have to replenish more often. Good enough for the cheap price though!

Had a Singapore Noodle (Chow Mei Fun) craving and stopped in as it was close to where we’re staying. Happily, they had SN on the menu. More happily, it was very good. Maybe it could have been a little heavier on the spice, but overall, well done. Fulfilled my craving nicely.

We order take out from here almost weekly and love it. Much better quality than Chinese in town. Buffet is good too.

After reading the only other review on Unilocal,I had serious reservations about eating at this establishment. I was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed my lunch. I did take in the lunch buffet instead of ordering off the menu. You couldn’t beat the price — $ 5.95. (Dinner is priced higher, but I didn’t enquire on the specifics.) Hot tea was included, but other drinks were an additional cost. This was a «no frills» buffet as far as selection, but what they did have was good. After eating at Massanutten Resort restaurants exclusively for a couple of days, I was ready for some «cheap eats» that were actually quite tasty.
All of the items I sampled were pretty fresh — not too greasy, and enough sauce so the items weren’t dried out on the buffet line. One tip I would definitely give if one was going to get the buffet… go when it’s likely to be busier. The items get consumed & replaced quickly enough that they aren’t dried up.
