Ive been visiting Old Peking for years now first as take out and then dining in. The food has always been wonderful and the portions generous. Their dining room is very nice and the staff are attentive. The fried rice tonight was absolutely delicious- my only complaint was it disappeared too quickly. Parking: This restaurant is part of a small but busy cluster of shops. Parking at peak hours can be a little tricky.

I would rate Old Peking Restaurant a solid 4 stars overall. My experience here has been consistently positive, with standout dishes including their seafood soup, lo-mein, and beef with green onions and several seafood selections. Not only are the prices reasonable, but I also believe it's one of the best Chinese restaurants in the area. One aspect that truly sets Old Peking apart is their exceptional dining experience. The atmosphere is perfect for group gatherings, with a cozy and toned-down theme in the dining area. Unlike many other Chinese restaurants, the ambiance here strikes a balance between welcoming and refined, making it an ideal spot for both casual meals and a possibly special occasion. Additionally, I appreciate the quiet atmosphere, which allows for comfortable conversation without feeling too casual. It's a refreshing change from the hustle and bustle of some other establishments. Overall, I've thoroughly enjoyed my visits to Old Peking Restaurant and would highly recommend it to anyone craving delicious Chinese cuisine in a relaxed yet refined setting. Whether you're dining solo, with a group, or celebrating a special occasion, Old Peking is sure to impress.

Incredible disappointment. My daughters asked what meal Id like for my birthday, and I asked for Chinese from Old Peking in Oakton. I went online and made a list of my choices, my mouth watering, longing for some really good Chinese. Sent the list to my daughters and as soon as the food arrived, I dug in. The idea was a feast that I could enjoy for a week, so many different dishes. I served myself a big platter and joyously dug in, to discover in minutes, I might as well have bought frozen Chinese at the grocery store. The chicken wings were a bit dry, the sauce too thick, and gummy. The Old Peking vegetable lo mein had very few vegetables, the noodles tasted bland, and the vegetables that were there looked limp and oldmaybe recycled? Ugh. The sesame chicken was gummy, the chicken tasted off. The crispy lemon chicken was dry, the sauce gelatinous. Awful. The only thing that was fresh and good was one egg roll. I tasted no sesame oil, maybe not even garlic, in any of the dishes. This is boring, routine Chinese food that might get served at a church dinner where no one expects to be troubled by actual flavor. SO DISAPPOINTED! Vegetarian options: Vegetables would not please any vegetarian I know. Limp and seemingly old.
