Reviews for Peking Cafe

The crispy chicken lunch special was absolutely terrible. By my standards, at least, inedible. The chicken was not crispy, and of inferior quality: grey, unappetizing, almost mystery-meatish. I innocently inquired about the sauce and they were a bit guarded--with good reason. It looked like sweet and sour, the person at the counter would only say it was "soy-based." Its flavor had no nuance or quality, almost like liquefied catsup. The accompanying fried rice and eggroll were utterly tasteless.

This was 8$ instantly thrown away. I'm still considering a complaint to the Better Business Bureau for Fairfax County. But I suppose that if they are meeting cleanliness standards there may not be a basis for filing. As far as their cuisine however, it's clear they have no commitment to producing pleasant meals. There are many "hole-in-the-walls" (of all types of ethnic cuisines) where much is forgiven if the meal is well-made. Please do not dine here with that expectation.
