We have gotten take out from here during the pandemic, and thought it was decent. We dined in for the first time today, and we are thoroughly impressed. First of all, the complimentary dishes were chilled marinated cucumbers and salted roasted peanuts. This was a Margaret Kuo's tradition and I think they even perfected the cucumbers because we asked for another and finished both plates. The owner bought the restaurant from Margaret Kuo who had previously been there for thirty some years. I had an Asian Pear Saketini. The drink was nice and strong just how I like it. I would have just added a garnish, or a pear slice into the martini glass to make it look more presentable. I would order it again! Off of the menu, we ordered a typical Szechuan appetizer with beef slices, tendon, and stomach lining in chili oil. The peanuts in the dish were fresh. The flavor was authentic and excellent. We ordered Taiwanese Fishball Soup. We got an extra Fujianese Fishball which has pork in the center, and which was actually more fresh than the Taiwanese fishballs! The broth tasted great, just like the way our mom's made it with white pepper and celery. They even added pea leaves, which is a generous addition. Next came the Oshinko (Japanese pickles) sushi rolls. The seaweed could have been a better quality. They were not crispy at all, and were cut too short, so did not close. However, the amount of oshinko put inside was generous. The pickled ginger was also great to taste. The Beef (Chow Fun) Stir Fried Wide Rice Noodles was a very good standard to pass. It was not too oily or salty. It was certainly on point. I also asked for a dish with tofu and fish, so they custom made a dish for us with Chilean sea bass and tofu. They fried both items and added a light sauce to it over Chinese broccoli. It was delectable and also great to have with white rice. Our last dish was flash fried chili popcorn chicken. This was the only dish we did not enjoy, which I honestly and politely reported. There was too much breading and not enough chicken. It was crispy and the flavor was correct, however I just could not get enough chicken even in the big bits. However, this was also off the menu and the owner just decided they could make it for us since it is my husband's favorite dish. We later chatted with the owner, Linda at the end of dinner and she told how grateful she was for letting us know since she would not have a way of knowing how to improve. She is a lovely person and we could hear her warm heart as she served each table. Two other constructive criticism I have are: there was a crack on the lamp above my table, the lights around the whole room occasionally flickered, and the number of paper towels that dispensed from the ladies room was a little much. The ambiance was not any different from when it was Margaret Kuo's of Media. I would definitely go back bringing my neighbors and friends especially for Dining Under the Stars in the summer time. I would love to chat with the owner some more because she was truly a beautiful person and hard working single mom. I would also try some more dishes, cocktails, and sashimi on and off the menu. I am grateful that this restaurant is in my local area.
They rush you to eat and leave. Very rude
Just a very clean and fresh atmosphere and the service is top notch. The food is excellent and the prices are moderate. A great dining experience with class and style
Very rude cashier. Had to wait for takeout order while she was arguing with delivery man. She started singing because I try to pay w)cc instead of cash. Grabbed when I told her I didn't have enough cash, she grabbed my card. Very rude lady. It'll be my last time there. There's so many other places now that have sushi, I don't need that kind of treatment.
Great service and delicious food. The salt baked squid was phenomenal.
The food was excellent!!! Not 1 drop of greasy taste which sometimes happens with Chinese food. Fresh tasting, great service and also has a bar! Will definitely be back!!
Me and my wife Alley love Chinese food and upon moving to a new area we didn't know if there would be a place that matched the local areas we frequented in our previous area. We were pleasantly surprised however going to Peking Media, as the food here is a cut above the rest when it comes to fine Asian cuisine. The general tsao's is immediately one of the go to items as it's a staple for most locations, but this dish here is far beyond any expectations and I highly recommend it. The sushi as well is perfectly prepared and fresh in it's ingredients and the taste highlights that. All over, if you're looking for an amazing dine in experience, or want to do take out or delivery, this place is an absolute must try. I promise you won't regret it!
My husband left a review but I just had to leave one too because even after a few days this place is still on my mind. We had been ordering here since moving and finally did a pick up instead of delivery. Im so glad I did because I had never been inside. I promised Cindy I would come back after loving the private setting. I kept my word and it was wonderful. The atmosphere is so calming and it resonated with me. The food was beautifully presented and delicious. My picture doesn’t do a justice because we had already started eating it!! I will make every attempt to come back often because it is now my favorite place. Thank you for your hospitality and yummy spicy cucumbers!
Food was very good service is excellent thank you
All the menu are superb! The staff attended to us with a warm smile!
