It still delivers the same quality service, delicious food, and reasonable prices that regulars have come to expect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The look and feel of the restaurant hasn\u2019t changed much in the 20 years I\u2019ve been going; that\u2019s part of its charm. It\u2019s comfortable. The space is well-kept and has seen updates to decor and furniture over time, but the vibe has stayed the same, with deep reds, dark wood tones, and traditional Asian artwork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My friend and I met at Peking for dinner and ordered the family dinner option. If two or more people are eating, you get a soup, an egg roll, and a crab rangoon with your entree and rice for just $14.99. For starters, the egg drop soup was savory and flavorful. The egg roll came out golden brown and crispy, packed with well-seasoned vegetables. The crab rangoon is one of my favorites; I love the sweet mix of cream cheese and crab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I ordered the pineapple chicken \u2014 juicy chunks of chicken tossed with pineapple, water chestnuts, onions, carrots, and peppers in a sweet, tangy sauce. It comes with a bowl of rice and could easily feed two or three. Her chicken chow mein was loaded with tender chicken, crisp veggies, and crunchy noodles that soaked up the rich sauce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/lebanon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2026\/04\/2-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-23539\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/lebanon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2026\/04\/2-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/lebanon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2026\/04\/2-1-980x653.jpg 980w, https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/lebanon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2026\/04\/2-1-480x320.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Peking is one of those places you can count on.
