Unfortunately something has changed at Peter Chu's. My hope is that the quality of the food is down due to the inability to obtain the better ingredients at this time with all the troubles, and the atmosphere that was purely restaurant, where a couple goes to eat and leave. Certainly not a place anymore for a couple to enjoy a meal together with ambience and a feeling of being special. Lights were too bright the acoustics were very harsh. The service although good was intrusive. It seemed they were constantly checking to see if we were finished with a dish and then before you put your utensils down Whoosh! Gone! Then to ask for a box. I was given enough boxes for each left over item and a bag for the wontons and an eggroll. Now I don't know about anyone else but putting food in Chinese food boxes is not for the faint of heart. I had stuff everywhere! What happened to the wonderful server that was so adept at neatly and quickly packaged your food? I always am fascinated by how efficient the whole process works. There was also one person that was missing and that was Peter Chu himself. He always came to the table to say hello. Hope all is well with you!
The meats were ok but not great. I have been to Chinese restaurants all over the USA and this is the first restaurant that does not allow you to pay extra to upgrade your white rice to egg fried rice or any type of fried rice for that matter! It was the weirdest thing to be eating General Tso chicken with white rice in a Chinese restaurant! I gave it 3 stars because the manager and a couple other employees that I interacted with were very friendly. Other than the interaction I would have given the food between a 2-3 stars
Food here is always fantastic, always a packed house. Large Family style plates can be a bit slow at times when packed but serves are always on s hustle. If you plan to try it out make sure your hit the airport location up and don't forget the POT STICKERS!!!!
We came here as a recommendation from the Jet Center staff - at the Redding Airport. We enjoyed Sesame Beef and the Hunan Beef with delicious fried rice. Each dish was perfectly prepared and served on outstanding China style plates. We enjoyed the pot stickers as well. Service was friendly and quick with great views of arriving and departing aircraft. We will definitely come back here again!
Best food in town. Peter Chu pours a great drink.
Thoroughly enjoyed this hidden gem. Friendly and motivated staff. Generous portions. Looking forward to coming back!!
Came here for a dinner party for my Cousin's birthday. As it's on the second floor of the Redding Municipal Airport, it has a window and a structure that felt off at first due to the slanted roof, but I got used to it. Being part of the airport, the Skyroom's window doesn't offer much scenery, but whether this detracts from the experience is up to the individual. As this was a dinner party, we ordered two gourmet dinners for six people each (I believe cost $25 apiece), which resulted in a large and fancy boat filled with appetizers at first, before other plates were brought in with the main courses such as orange chicken and chow mein. I only had the orange chicken and the appetizers, as I ordered a dish myself, Teriyaki Beef. The Teriyaki Beef was brought, six skewers with a portable burner (I cannot recall the proper name for it) for me to cook the beef on myself. Undoubtedly an irreplicable experience. Particularly as said burner actually erupted into flames! However it was not a fire hazard as the staff swiftly came to extinguish it with the pitcher of drinking water. If anything the incident enhanced my experience. Were it not at the airport, I would definitely frequent this restaurant.
This place is the best Chinese Food in Shasta County HANDS DOWN if you haven't been here you need to go the customer service is great the food is very flavorful and the view is amazing
Romantic dinner with a loved one, or large party of 20 celebrating a birthday. Either one works, you won't be disappointed. You must try the house special dry braised chicken ( get it mild!). I've been to hundreds of Chinese/ Cantonese places, this is our favorite hands down.
Great food and a cool location. Their lunch deals can't be beat. My favorites are dry braised chicken, beef with yellow onions, and Kung Poa chicken. They come with really good Asian corn chowder and egg rolls. The staff is great too.
