Peking Restaurant in Cambridge

This place should be shutdown, the food tasted awful. No plates given to eat food off. I had to eat my food off the hot-plate. I would rather stick pins in my eye than eat here again. It’s also very expensive. Check food hygiene rating. We have been to many Chinese restaurants whilst working away and I’m sorry to say this is the worst.

Food quality is good, in particular, the deep fried squid is very delicious. The 82 year old Taiwanese Chef made us a chicken fish soup with deep fried rice vermicelli. It’s very special and we all love it. The portion is generous. Service is excellent. It’s quiet on a Sunday night, probably due to location.

When we last lived in Cambridge 20 years ago the Peking was a find. Although its moved location since the food was just as memorable and authentic. Great squid starter along with dim sum, with sauces that matched the dish. The prawn dishes were wonderful (check out the one with the crispy rice). The service was at a pace which made you enjoy the food even more. We were even given a parking spot right outside the restaurant. This is how a meal out should be. The only surprise was it was quiet, although it was a week day, and we were still well looked after.

I don't like posting a negative review but this place was dead on a Friday night. Not a single other customer. The staff are friendly and the food isn't bad. When it came to payment they had no signal for the card machine and I had to walk to a cash machine to get cash. I couldn't recommend it as a fun night out but I hope business picks up.

Food was good. Staff was friendly.

Takeaway food was generally poor and very expensive (£50 for 2 main dishes and a side). The aubergine side dish was reasonable. But the beef was tough and of low quality. The pork dish had not much tough meat and a lot of tofu.

Possibly the best Chinese restaurant in Cambridge

A very quiet, gem of place hidden at the back of Homerton street. We only came to know this place when we started living in the flats nearby. Does excellent Chinese/Chinese fusion. The Chef who owns the place take pride in his cooking and always use high quality ingredients (especially meat). Dishes are a bit a pricey but the portions are bit and worth it. The Cumin Lamb is a thing of beauty and nearly converted my vegetarian wife to a non vegetarian. The fried dumpling served with chilli paste is also excellent.

Came with a large group of friends. The chef suggested that we simply state our preferred price range and he would just bring us an assortment of dishes, but he seemed to be offended by the fact we were only looking to spend around £15 each. No problem, we'd just order from the menu. Glasses for water came out but half of them were unwashed to the point of being visibly brown. My bowl also had a healthy layer of brown crust on it. It was at least 45 minutes until the first dish arrived. To be fair, the food was fairly tasty if rather salty and portions were fairly large (a group of 4 could probably split 3 main dishes) but I've had better takeaways for half the price. The meat was clearly cheap. If you absolutely must order from here, I thought the pork wih aubergine was quite good. One bite of my sticky rice was so cold I could hear the ice crystals break between my teeth. The bill we received initially was considerably higher than expected due to some incorrect adding-up - this was eventually fixed after a bit of to-ing and fro-ing. In the end, £15pp for the quantity of food we got is a pretty fair price these days but that's where the positives end. To top it all off, several of our group had a stomach ache the next day. There's no shortage of good Chinese or East Asian food in Cambridge - don't waste your money and risk your health here!

Food was burnt and soooo salty, service slow and so overpriced. For the cost it would have been nice for them to shred the duck rather than dump I quarter duck on the table and walk off. Picture is of a schezwan chicken - burnt and what can only be described as a plate of cashews and chilli!

They were happy to accept an order via deliveroo and then tell them it had been delivered when it clearly was never going to be prepared by them on the bank holiday. Wasted an hour sorting this mess out and getting a refund. An ok restaurant to visit in person but avoid ordering from them online.

Amazing food. Give this place a chance, it has never disappointed in the last 4 years we've been coming!

It was very quiet when we arrived we was seen to straight away, the lady that seated us at our table was very friendly and polite. The food was outstanding cooked fresh to order portion size was enough. Would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone and will definitely be returning soon.

Excellent food - have been a customer for over 20 years. It's a once in a while treat, and well worth it.

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

Went with a colleague and the food was good. The staff were nice and friendly. Most of the business seems to be take-away but it is possible to eat in which we did. The only down side is that they only take cash and you cannot use a credit card. However, there is a cash machine in the Co-op nearby.

We, (a friend of ours, her father, my sister and myself) arrived at the restaurant, at 6pm, as it opened for the Saturday evening restaurant crowd, and as soon as we arrived we were welcomed in by the front of house manager and shown to our table, pleasantries exchanged, we were all given menus to order our meals from, our friend's father decided to order for us all, buffet style, to which we all agreed. First, he ordered drinks, in this case four beers, followed by our starters, prawn crackers, sesame seed toasts, and bang bang chicken, which were brought to our table, and were all quickly consumed, as we were all hungry, the mains were, sweet and sour prawns, sweet and sour chicken with scallops and egg fried rice, and sizzling beef which all went down very well, we all liked the fact that all the dishes came out often, so that there was no waiting for courses, and we also saw that the chef came out of the kitchen to talk to regular customers, and as both the starters and the mains, were a lot of food, we did not have any desserts, as we were all full up at the end, the atmosphere in the the restaurant at the time that we were all there was good, as it was starting to get busy.

We went there after finding the Pomodoro next door entirely full. It was completely empty, for a reason, as it turns out. They only take cash, which considering the highish prices is problematic. The staff are charming and attentive, but this does not make up for the food which is remarkably tasteless. Hard to make hot and sour soup bland, but they achieved it. Definitely meat which had stayed too long in the chiller. Would not make a return visit

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.

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.

Fantastic food and incredibly friendly staff, thoroughly reccomend.

Tucked away in a modern development, off the main road between the city centre and the hospital, there doesn't seem to be any immediate parking. We exited town by taxi. The place is minimalist, spotless but presents a slightly sterile feel. As with other reviews, we found the food freshly prepped and cooked and best flavours. The portions are BIG and on a future visit would share some of them. Beware, it's cash only, no cards or cheques, which could catch you out. Certainly not cheap - we had an inexpensive (£22) bottle of wine and just a few courses and, with a service charge, it cost us £110 - cash. The food was good enough to attract us to go again when we want to dine Chinese. Good service.

Good place to have food nice staff chicken with peanut is a amazing food

My experience of Chinese restaurants to date has put them into 2 categories: 1. Bog-standard 'British Chinese' cuisine - pretty similar wherever you go 2. Upmarket places which do something different - fusion, for example The Peking Restaurant has now given me a third category. The meals on offer are the same dishes as we're accustomed to, but they are clearly home-made - and very well home-made at that. This place is a real gem. The service was awesome. There was a delay with our mains and the waiter insisted on giving us a free round of drinks. I tried to pay for them but he wouldn't have it. The Peking Restaurant feels utterly genuine. I can recommend it without reservation.

A really great meal! The dishes were all freshly made and tasted fabulous. We would share some dishes when we go again though as we couldn’t eat it all.

Bit pricey but very large portions and the quality/freshness of ingredients (particularly meat and seafood)totally justifies it. Good service as well. Highly recommend cumin lamb or Hainan Prawns.

excellent food; particularly the dragon and phoenix soap, Peking duck and prawns with cashew nuts.

The Hunan prawns were fabulous.

Great food! We visit here regularly and love it :) Note that you can only pay with cash and it is quite pricey.

Fantastic food but make sure you have cash as it is a no card restaurant

Perfectly cooked, very tasty food and helpful staff.

This is by far the best Chinese restaurant in the area. Some of the dishes are the best I have ever tried, and I go 2-3 times a year to China. The dishes are very big and often you can order one dish and rice for two, so costs are kept a bit lower. Superb! my favourite restaurant in the city. I go with friends or family. My seven year old love their fried squid dish!

£20 for a takeaway chicken main course and rice. The main course had frozen peas, corn and carrots- the quality was worse than a Tesco ready meal. Quite simply a rip off no wonder it is empty- avoid avoid avoid.

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.

Really good food and amazing service! Definitely coming back very soon!!!!

Food was fairly tasty, BUT: Pricey for portion size. Rice-RICE at a Chinese restaurant-is 4 quid extra! They don’t take credit cards, cash only. And last, but very irritating, they tack on a 10% “service fee”, what the heck?? Server said that’s done all over the UK, which is baloney. So prepare to pay 22 quid for sweet and sour pork-won’t be returning.

The best Peanut Chicken I've ever tasted! Great service. A bit pricy but very generous portions and a wide selection. Very conveniently located.

Today 5 of us shared a delicious vegan meal - a range of different meals put together by the owner /chef - the best food I have had in a restaurant for a long time . Absolutely freshly cooked and sizzling . Highly recommend.

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.

If i could give this place zero stars i would. Where do I start. At the begining is as a good place as any. So I arrive at the Restaurant and Parking is pretty much none existent. Found a place to park. Walked to the door to find a sign stating they dont accept Credit or Debit cards, Cash Only. Not a problem really i had cash on me. Walk in and the place is empty. No customers no staff. I stand at the counter waiting for a member of staff. Whilst waiting i decide to look at the menu. Whilst deciding what to have I decide to cough to try and gain some attention.... could hear staff somewhere?? No reaction from the staff. It was about this time I actually noted the prices of the food, Chicken Fried Rice was £9.00 and Sweet and Sour was £15.00, I can guarantee that Ken Hom or Nancy Lam are not in the kitchen cooking(if you dont know who these people are google them). But remember they dont take cards. It was at this time I decided to say, quite loudly i may add, 'Excuse Me'. Another few minutes passed and by this time I had been stood for 10 minutes. It was at this point I cut my losses and walked out. Its no wonder the place was desolate and void of custom. Will not be returning ever

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.

Roger and I were extremely fortunate to be guests of a dear friend when we visited Cambridge recently, at the truly authentic Peking Restaurant. We were served by the proprietor and chef himself, who described his dishes and advised us on combinations. The results were magnificent! We have eaten with great delight in Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong: the Peking Restaurant sits in that top league, distinguished for its excellent ingredients, delicious sauces and very fine cooking. When in Cambridge, go to the Peking Restaurant for dinner: it's worth checking the opening times and booking.

Hemos sido clientes habituales en Pekín durante más de 15 años. La comida es increíblemente buena. Las albóndigas de sichuan en caldo tahini, berenjena en salsa de frijoles calientes, camarones hu nan son mis favoritos, pero todo es fantastico. Las porciones son enormes, lo que explica el precio. Es la mejor comida china que he comido fuera de China y los sabores de los platos me recuerdan a diferentes provincias. Su nueva ubicación no está en el centro de Cambridge, pero vale la pena una visita. Muy recomendable.

I have eaten at some of the finest Chinese restaurants in the world and the Peking is up there with the best. It's delicious combination of tastes and strong flavours are unique. I've had the pleasure of eating here for over 30 years, originally in Burleigh Street, and long may it continue.

Hemos comido aquí varias veces y tiene numerosos sitios de comida para llevar. La comida es deliciosa y los ingredientes siempre recién preparados y bien preparado. Es el mismo día, el día del chef, que es muy orgulloso de su comida y lucha nunca decepciona. Por lo tanto, los estándares implacables. Usted paga más que el promedio de la comida china y la ubicación es un poco lejos del centro, pero sin duda es la pena, para llegar tan sabrosa comida. Las raciones (y tome distancia) son generosos.

He estado visitando The Peking desde la década de 1980 cuando estaba ubicado en Burleigh Street, en el centro de Cambridge. Siempre fue muy caro, pero la calidad era alta, así que valió la pena el costo un par de veces al año. Sin embargo, las cosas han ido mal desde que se mudó a la calle Homerton. Ahora está fuera de la ciudad en el medio de un área de alojamiento estudiantil donde ningún estudiante pagará altos precios e. gramo. 18 para un plato principal de gambas sin arroz. Visitamos el Peking ayer y tuvimos el pato Pekín, que fue el peor ejemplo de ese plato que he tenido. Seco y negro, y claramente cocinado un día de dos antes y calentado. El chef ni siquiera escucha nuestras quejas, pero dedujo el costo del plato. Con solo tres mesas ocupadas a las 8:30 en un sábado por la noche, las personas claramente votan con los pies. Es triste ver que está disminuyendo, pero no volveré ya que hay muchas otras opciones en Cambridge.

I wouldn't pay another visit here as although the food is not bad, the open hours are so limited, plus the price is expensive.

Visitamos hace unos años y nos encantó la comida. La esposa del propietario nos dio muchos consejos útiles al elegir del menú y lamentamos escuchar esta noche que lamentablemente ha pasado desde nuestra última visita.Tuvimos a alguien para cuidar a nuestros niños por la noche, así que reservamos un hotel porque estaba cerca de The Peking, así que pudimos visitarlo de nuevo.La comida fue tan increíble como recordamos de la última vez que vinimos. Luke, el camarero y licenciado en derecho, nos ayudó a elegir platos y nos aconsejó sobre el tamaño de las porciones y fue muy útil y disfrutamos charlando con él.No puedo esperar para volver! Xx

The best Chinese food I've had.

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!

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.

Food is fabulous but expensive. Odd ambience - a bit too brightly lit, not cosy at all. But the food is wonderful!

Esta noche después de un salto 'Dunkirk 'Hemos estado aquí antes, pero no podía recordar mucho sobre la comida. Eso cambió esta noche, era fantástico. Teníamos un plato de pollo y almendras y un plato de carne sugerido por el camarero. No recuerdo haber tan interesante, buena comida china para las edades. La mayoría están bien, pero un poco aburrido. Aunque no aquí! Debe haber sido borrachos o algo así que no recuerdo la comida la última vez. Ya estamos planeando nuestro próximo motivo para comer aquí.

Hasta Cambridge MA Día y decidimos visitar un lugar favorito de los años 80 cuando vivíamos en Norfolk y se acordaban de comer los mejores Pato Pekín en un restaurante en Burleigh Street.

The only things that are high about this place are the prices and the owner's nose. He is rude, looks down on his patrons and really dislikes criticism. I've had worse food but I've also had a whole lot better. A place to avoid !

By far the best Chinese restaurant I have been to in the UK, lovely place, Peking duck and H Prawns!!

Good food but the delivery did take a while

We had a party of 8 on Saturday night. We left it to the chef to make our choices and we were rewarded with amazing food. Prawn, duck, chicken, fish, aubergine & pork dishes were all superb, very high quality ingredients.

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.

Excellent food, place to go for delicious Chinese food, for real Chinese food lovers in Cambridge.

Domingo por la noche y tuvimos dos mesas de 9. De lo contrario sólo un muy pequeño puñado y que hace que te sientas un poco estéril. Me parece que recordar la Peking en cerca del centro de Grafton, acogedores. El 'Nuevo Pekín 'no es barato, pero la comida era muy buena, con ninguno de los gustos indiferenciada que dan a menudo en restaurantes chinos del Reino Unido. La cantidad de chili, platos fritos crujientes y excelente luz y pescado al vapor. Y mucho más. No es barato, pero es bueno.

价格较贵，一般的硬菜都在15磅左右，服务态度好，作为北京人，感觉做得不算正宗

Very warm-hearted waitor but poor food taste

Hemos comido en el Pequinés y bajar durante muchos años. Anoche no pude ser apetece cocinar así que fuimos. Maravilloso charlar con Michael de nuevo y su cocina es aún increíble. Sí, Peking es caro (especialmente si estás acostumbrado a los precios más baratos en...

The food is always excellent. The prices are a bit high and they only accept cash, which is inconvenient, but it's worth it for the high quality food. Easily the best chinese food I've eaten in Cambridge.

Usted Gente de Cambridge que recordar el Viejo Pekín en Grafton Ctr con bonitos recuerdos de ambiente acogedor, excelente comida y servicio amable: cerrar los ojos. . En estrechas que pensé. . Y EVITAR este "nuevo" restaurante a toda costa o riesgo de romper ese...

Amazing food, best Chinese in Cambridge. Well worth the few minutes walk out of the centre. Great for large parties.

Potente sencillez en aderezos. Delicadamente pasaran paladar. Hecha correctamente salsas y especias.

Mi compañero y yo comimos aquí ya era tarde, el viernes por la noche y ambos habían regresado al Reino Unido después de un ajetreado de unos pocos días.

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.

Mmmm lovely duck and hunan prawns - this place has the right mix of classic and exotic!!

Es demasiado caro! Puedes encontrar mejores chino para mucho más barato! Me pareció que sus porciones previene y no recomiendo!

Very overpriced meal for not so great Chinese food. DO NOT RECOMMEND!

Food was ok, but clearly overpriced!

Just returned from a very overpriced meal. Asked staff about certain meals as I wasn't quite sure what was in them, convinced I was served the wrong meal as I said I didn't want anything with nuts in it. When I questioned the staff their understanding wasn't great. Bill then came with a £6 service charge. So not worth the £65 !!! For 2 meals and wine, wouldn't go back.

Service was slow , gave our waitress our drinks order then she left and was on phone at least 10mins taking takeaway order before she came back with our drinks , food order was taken then when it came it was wrong , overpriced , poor decor ,poor service . Will not be back and definetly would not recommend to friends or family

We had a family dinner there. The menu is very large and varied, from Frogs legs to Squid. We had more traditional Peking Duck, Sweet and Sour chicken and sizzling beef.These were all fantastic. The waited kindly advised against anything more as the dishes are huge. Lovely fresh atmosphere.They only accept cash so make sure you have enough with you.

This really is the best Chinese in Cambridge - quality food, lovely service. We had the sweet and sour pork with crispy rice - excellent. Things to bear in mind: portions are large and remember to take enough cash as they don't accept cards. It's not cheap but that's fair enough given the standard of ingredients and culinary skill. If I had to find one complaint it would be the lighting!

We'd planned to eat at another restaurant in Cambridge but it was fully booked and I'm so glad it was as we found this place. This was, hands down, the best Asian food I've ever eaten and that includes some top restaurants in Singapore. But it wasn't just the fantastic food that made this such a wonderful experience. The family that run it care deeply about everything they make and it shows. They made recommendations that were spot on and we had the pleasure of meeting the chef (the father) and were given explanations on each dish we had. It's not particularly cheap but I always believe you get what you pay for, they are the last of a bare handful of people making Chinese food in this unique way so it's worth every penny in my opinion. The bill came to just over £140 for 3 people with 2 beers, a half bottle of wine and 4 shots of a rather powerful Chinese wine that the chef seemed genuinely please that we wanted to try. We had a pot of Jasmine tea to finish and even that was made with care, they added chrysanthemum so it would not get too bitter as it brewed in the pot. I wished the son, Sam, Kung Hei Fat Choi (as it was Chinese new year on the Monday) as we left and promised we'd be back. We even took what we couldn't eat (the portions are large) home with us. One thing to note is that they take cash only.

I recently got a take away from the Peking Restaurant, and was completely disgusted with their pricing. £15 for a quarter duck and only 4 pancakes. When I ordered 4 more, they charged an extra £4! I could not believe their pricing, and then checked standard main courses - all averaging between £15-18 - no thanks. This week I went 5 mins up the road to Cherry Hinton and got my quarter duck for £8.50 and 6 extra pancakes for a £1!

We were looking for a great place to hold a birthday lunch just before Christmas. We needed somewhere that could cope with a large party, including kids. We had an excellent time.Homerton Street is not the oldest area of Cambridge; part of a new development. The family brought their restaurant there, and it seems well established. It's certainly worth a trip out from the city centre.We had a banquet that truly deserved the title - not a nasty buffet but a continuous stream of excellent food - we'd booked and ordered the food in advance - so the whole process was seamless.Really great service - the chef and head of the family helping to deliver the dishes himself and explain what they were. Thoroughly recommend it.

There were 14 of us for a farewell lunch for a colleague. We all had different dietary needs and the owner was very helpful in suggesting a menu. It was very tasty and I think everyone enjoyed the food. Good place for going in a large group as we (just about) all fitted round the large round table.We decided not to go for the £30 menu but to select dishes. There was plenty and it cost £20 a head.

We have been going to this well-established Cambridge favourite as a family for nearly 30 years, first in Burleigh Street and now in its new home in Homerton Place. The Chef Patron Michael and his trusted team serve outstanding authentic Szechuan cuisine, as good as anything I have eaten on many trips to China, with Ma Po Tofu, Dan Dan Noodles, Fried Squid with Chili and Hunan Prawns being special favourites. Michael can also on request arrange Chinese banquets for a minimum number of eight people and we were lucky enough to experience this recently when I went with a party of twelve to celebrate my birthday. The food was really outstanding, with many of the dishes made specially for the occasion and not from the normal menu, the stuffed duck and lobster noodles in particular being outstanding.All in all a great place for anybody wanting to eat really well-prepared and authentic Szechuan Chinese food.

Visited this Chinese takeaway ''restaurant'' on a Friday night. To sum it up, next to no service, poor decor / uncomfortable, very bad food (the sweet and sour pork was like eating pork scratchings in sticky sauce) and was definitely not fresh, £16-£17 for a main dish EXCLUDING rice, plus slapped with a service charge. Avoid at all costs- poor all round and 50% too expensive for what it is. Can comfortably say this was the worst restaurant I've ever been to

I would give it 3.5. Nice hint of spiciness with fresh chilies. Recommend the green beans which were tasty. The fried noodles with seafood was a disappointment. No taste.

I have been to this restaurant many times and always look forward to eating here when I have the chance. The food is delicious and authentic and there is a great range of hot and cold starters and mains which cater to all palates. Pricier but significantly better than usual Chinese fair.

We visited Sunday 4th October and service was ok. We ordered starters which was good. Then when mains came out I took a bit of the chicken and thought that it tasted quite tender after swallowing I looked at what was left, it was raw in the middle.!!!Ask asked the waitress about it and she got the chef/owner about it and his answer was I cant help it the rest should be ok do you want me to heat it up. I have reported it food hygiene

Me and my wife decided we wanted something nice for dinner. Chinese maybe? Made a quick search on Google and walked to the Peking Restaurant.Firstly, the prices looked quite steep, but we still decided to try something new - so I went for frog legs. Waiter recommended Chinese beer to go with it. And it was really good. Quite expensive (I wouldn't go there every time I want Chinese food), but food was really good.

We went to dinner to that place, they have a wide menu to choose. Staff is very friendly, they recommended us some spicy dishes and the ones that there are not spicy. We shared 4 dishes (spicy chicken and not spicy, prawn, noodles) and a couple of boiled rice bowls to mix with the other food. All the food was absolutely delicious, tasty, good quantity. All was enough for 5 people. The price was pretty expensive but we paid quality.

My husband and I came here on a friend's recommendation and knowing it would be expensive decided to treat ourselves on our 9th wedding anniversary. We ordered Hu Nan prawns recommended by the same friend and based on previous reviews Smoked Chicken, plus we had mixed meat noodles and beef and Chinese mushrooms in oyster sauce. The Hu Nan prawns was without doubt our favourite dish, lots of king prawns, chillies & black bean sauce. They were not stingy with the prawns. However, we were a bit disappointed with the smoked chicken as it was very westernised (looking back at the reviews realised that Chinese Americans rated this highly) so that was our least favourite dish. Although the dishes were expensive the portions were large. We saw one couple ask for a doggy bag so encouraged by that we also took our remaining food home to enjoy the next day.There was only one waitress serving at front of house who was vey pleasant which makes a change from the usual Chinese restaurant (I can write this as I'm Chinese too!).On the down side the restaurant does not take credit card so we could not order with abandon; we had to make sure that the extra drinks that we had ordered we could pay for along with the service charge. Also, the ambience of the place was not conducive for a romantic meal for 2. On the plus side we could park outside the restaurant if you arrange it in advance with the restaurant.

We were invited to a friend's birthday party recently at Peking Restaurant. The place was full and the staff delivered excellent service, despite the fact that there were just three of them (and one of these was the owner and chef).The food was varied, very tasty and quite different from the "standard" meal we had in other Chinese restaurants recently.We recommend this place for a great culinary experience. Just remember to bring cash with you - they do not accept cards.

This is our favourite restaurant in Cambridge- we believe undoubtedly the best food in Cambridge. Our favourite dishes are Mixed starters, crispy friend squid with chillies, szeuchan dumplings, Hun Nan prawns, chicken with cashew nuts, double cooked pork, steamed sea bass with ginger and spring onions, lamb with leeks and chillies. Generous portions, warm hospitality and attention to fine details - always a gastronomic delight to returning customers. I do wish the proprietor Michael Kerr good health t continue providing us with such delicious food. Delighted to see Sam having taken the managing of this restaurant and giving it an extra dimension with the family-run feeling. Over the years to come I wouldn't think twice before choosing Peking for a meal out and for family celebrations

Been here a few times.Recently for a friend's surprise 50th.Always great fresh food,engaging portions and the charming hospitality of the staff and Sam at the front and his dad behind the scenes.Online ordering and accepting cards and delivery to nearby places (like Huntingdon where we live )will be a boon!Overall a satisfying place to eat out again and again.-MitKol

I ate here when I had to work at Addenbrooks Hospital. I went in because I didnt want to eat in the restaurant complex over the road. It was brightly lit, which as a lone traveller I appreciate. The portions initially seemed very expensive £16 for mixed meat and seafood noodles but then when the food arrived (and the service was very prompt) the portion was really for 2 people so I couldnt complain. A glass of house wine was £5.Not the best chinese I have eaten by any means but hot, tasty with very prompt service. I would certainly go back here again to eat.

Poor quality ingredients (including mixed chopped frozen veg: peas, beans, carrots, sweetcorn mix) added to bulk out dishes , overcooked dim sum and seafood/squid and very expensive.

The Peking in Cambridge, England, founded and run by its chef/owner for the past 30 years or more serves excellent authentic chinese food. The fried seaweed and the Szechuan chicken are just a couple of the superb dishes on my last visit. As an added bonus, you can usually park outside.

I have eaten here since 2008 and I have to say it is by far the best Chinese food I have ever eaten. Considering the chef is an award winner there are no surprises there. The restaurant offers a variety of dishes full of different delicious flavours. Excellent customer service. I would recommend it to anyone who loves Chinese food.

Excellent quality of cooking - flavoursome, quality ingredients, carefully prepared and delivered with attentive service. Hidden gem.

I have lived in Cambridge for over 30 years now and my husband and I eat out regularly. It is no exaggeration when I say that the Peking is the best Chinese restaurant in Cambridge and gives some of the top London restaurants a run for their money.

Delicious Szechuan food and generous portions. Try the deep fried beef in chilli!
