After COVID the quality of the food dropped significantly, pleased to report it is back to its former glory. No disappointments in what we ordered, service was good, even though the restaurant was full. Recommended as a place to go in Harpenden.

Just held my husbands 60th birthday here. Service was amazing and May who was our waitress for 17 people did an amazing job. The staff were friendly and attentive and food was excellent. We all had a fab time and nothing was too much trouble. We had the room at the back to ourselves but could still feel part of the restaurant. Would 100% recommend it. Thank you fir making the evening for my husband.

Consistently good quality, tasty and fast food as always - not inexpensive but good quality. BUT Sunday menu: we ordered a great combo of dishes, my sons and I couldn't quite finish all of the food. I asked if we could take the left overs home and they said no, I asked where in the menu it stated that - and it didn't. I pointed out no one was in the restaurant, we'd ordered honestly and with every intention of eating at the table, and clearly hadn't over ordered - yet they said they'd throw the left overs away and that we couldn't take them. Furthermore, they don't understand the their own UK alcohol license responsibilities; I asked for a beer for my 17 year old son, they brought it to the table then said he couldn't drink it as he was only 17 - yet in uk you can be bought (by an accompanying over 18yr old) beer to drink with your meal from the age of 16yrs and upwards. Shame, as it has been a lovely, infrequent, local bolt hole for 20 yrs for me, but with what's verging on a criminal/deliberate waste of food that a customer has paid for, and then charging the customer for beer but not letting a family member consume it (despite them being and proving that they are of a legal age), it's our last trip to Chef Peking in Harpenden.

I used to visit this restaurant regularly back in the 1980s and it was really good. Finding myself in the area again, I visited with my son and was curious to see if it was as good as I remembered. It is! The restaurant is quite large and is beautifully set out inside. The staff actually speak very little English but we had no difficulty in ordering what we wanted. I had the Chicken with green peppers in a chilli and black bean sauce and my son had the crispy chilli beef. We shared a bowl of egg fried rice and some Singapore noodles. The flavours can only be described as mouthwatering and the chicken was meltingly tender. The crispy beef was just that and not bullet hard as I've been served before in some Chinese restaurants! To finish my son had mint ice cream and I had apple fritters with ice cream, followed by coffee for me and incredibly nice Chinese tea for my son. The main meal was washed down with the House White Wine - a Sauvignon Blanc that was beautifully clean and fresh tasting. The perfect accompaniment! I really couldn't fault the experience. It isn't cheap - our bill came to about £95 Inc VAT, but for a special occasion it really is an experience to try. Top marks from the two of us!

1) Food Quality (3/5) - Pretty average fare; lots of dishes taste samey; rubbery prawns, spongy chicken, flaccid vegetables. Steamed sea bass is a notable, delicious exception 2) Food Range (4/5) - Broad enough but fairly unimaginative. The usual Cantonese cuisine that has been on offer for decades. Its 'Szechuan' offering is paltry 3) Service (4/5) - The front of house owner/manager is very welcoming. Staff are pleasant but service can be very slow; feels understaffed when busy 4) Atmosphere (3/5) - Attractive storefront. Interior feels dated and a touch congested; could do with a refresh 5) Value (3/5) - It falls down here because the prices are quite steep for what is essentially takeaway style/quality food. Portions are a little stingy 6) Overall Verdict (3/5) - This restaurant has a lot of loyal customers, perhaps due to nostalgia and a friendly manager. However, it really is a very average, yet expensive, offering. I hope its potential can be unlocked in the future 7) Got to try... Steam Sea Bass with Ginger and Spring Onions, Lamb with Cumin

First time back for a few months and the Sunday menu has got smaller. But when we ordered a dish that wasn’t on the menu they had no problem making it Very good food and excellent service, but starting to get rather expensive But as they say ‘you get what you pay for’ Plus 12’5% still the best around Pgeorgi

We used to come here all the time but haven't been for a while. The Sunday buffet has changed and is now a menu buffet which I really liked - all the food was cooked to order but I felt like the portions were to big and a lot of food wasted. (We asked to take away 4 small ribs so they didn't go In the bin and we're told we couldn't) I liked the idea of trying new items which the old buffet offered, also alot of items were no longer on offer. The food was very nice but now very expensive and the restaurant seemed very quiet which is a shame as we used to struggle to get a table as it was so busy. I think £25 per person is alot for a Sunday buffet lunch. There is also a 12.5% tip added to the bill which when asked we were told goes into the staff wages!

We had a great experience today. The food was clearly freshly prepared, the batter wonderful on the sweet and sour prawns and chicken, and my husband felt the prawn toast were the best he had ever tasted - generous and cooked just right. The staff are very kind and accommodating and the restaurant felt nice and warm inside. I can definitely recommend.

My sister in law had been told by a friend that the Chef Peking was a very good Chinese restaurant. So she said we should go and try it, so the four of us went over this evening and parked easily outside the restaurant. What a lovely greeting we received and then Rachel came to our table and introduced herself, what a charming lovely lady, all the staff were great. The food we ordered arrived quickly and was just delicious, every plate was outstanding and easily the best Chinese food we have tasted for a long time, to say we will return is an understatement, we will be back soon. Many thanks to Rachel and all the charming staff.

We were greeted by the sumptuous Rachel who led us gracefully to our seats. We ordered the set menu which was delicious from start to finish. I had a thoroughly enjoyable evening with friends. We will be returning as soon as we are permitted under Johnsons crazy regime!!

Had a lovely meal for my husband’s birthday. Despite the pandemic Rachael and her team were very welcoming and the food was very good, as always. Enjoyed the lettuce wrapped chicken starter and my boys enjoyed their sizzling beef and chicken noodles. Always a pleasure to dine here and we will keep on returning.

We regularly visit Chef Peking for takeaways and dinner - the service and food are both generous and fantastic! They’re also Covid safe - which is important to know at this time.

We thoroughly enjoyed our delicious Chinese dinner last night.In spite of COVID threatening to spoil my daughter’s 18th birthday, we were able to celebrate her special day with a wonderful relaxed evening at Chef Peking where we were looked after so attentively by the lovely Rachel and her team.The food was all great, very tasty and plenty of it!Rachel went out of her way to make sure we were all happy and the perfect evening ended with Rachel kindly giving my daughter a celebratory dessert and chocolates with a beautiful red rose for me! Chef Peking saved the day and gave us a night to remember in spite of the pandemic!Many thanks from us all.

Having lived in Markyate about 14 years ago, we came down to Harpenden during half term and stayed as a base to go into London (we now live in Norfolk). We used to go to the Chef Peking back then and always loved it, we were celebrating our daughters 10th birthday who's favourite food is Chinese so said we would take her here. From the moment we walked into the restaurant we had a very warm welcome, it was only a Monday night, during the pandemic so there were not many people in the restaurant, a couple of other tables and us. Rachel was so warm and friendly and customer service was second to none she was very attentive. She worked out that it was our daughters 10th birthday and gave both myself and my daughter a rose each and my daughter a box of chocolates to celebrate. Covid measures clearly taken and seen around the restaurant, we felt totally safe. Food was fabulous as it always was. My daughter loved the sweet and sour chicken. Highly recommend this restaurant. Well done Rachel, we will return again one day hopefully before another 15 years! From Tilly aged 10 - Thank you for my flower and chocolates xx

Ordered some food for collection for a lockdown birthday. Had the duck with pineapple, peppercorn salted prawns and sweet and sour chicken. All were succulent and delicious. The customer service whilst I waited for order was excellent. Will definitely return.

We’ve just had yet another excellent meal from Chef Peking. It’s easily one of our favourite restaurants and would strongly recommend it. All the dishes are authentic and freshly prepared. Rachael and her team always provide a friendly warm welcome.

The dining experience at Omboo in Sophwell House surpassed all expectations, notably outshining my favorite restaurant, Saccalleo in Sicily. The quality of the food at Omboo is truly exceptional, elevating the overall culinary experience. The flavors, creativity, and presentation of each dish were outstanding, making Omboo a standout choice for those seeking an unparalleled dining adventure. Highly recommended for those who appreciate an esclusive location, andoutstanding flavours

Always use this Chinese take away. We had family around on Saturday so ordered a meal for five of us. We ordered 3 different Chow Mein meals amongst other things. Theses were so salty that none of us could eat them. The other meals were fine. We felt really embarrassed that everyone left their meals. After paying £55 I was very annoyed. Will be a while before we use this take away again. Very disappointed.
