| - I had heard good things about Peking House from a friend, so I decided to go try it out. It's nestled in Bavarian Village in South Park, and if you weren't looking for it, there's a good chance you'd miss it. However, it's worth stopping in if you're down in that area.
I went around 4pm on a Saturday, so I was the only person in the restaurant. There were 5 or 6 tables, but I can tell that a lot of people call in their orders to-go. The server knew two out of the three men who came in to pick up orders, so I could tell that this place was good enough to keep people coming back.
When I first looked at the menu, it did seem a bit pricey, but the portions they give you are enough for two meals. I ordered crab rangoons and pork lo mein. The crab rangoons came straight out of the fryer, so I had to wait a little while for them to cool down, but they were fairly good. The filling didn't have much flavor on its own, but the sauce they brought out with them (I assume it's a plum sauce) took care of that. The pork lo mein was flavorful and, as I said, large enough that I took half of it home.
My one last critique is that I wish they had a soda fountain--when you order a drink, you just buy a bottle of it. However, the staff is incredibly friendly and I had a nice time dining there. I look forward to returning.
