I’ve been going to this restaurant for over 25 years, and it still never disappoints. It’s truly a hidden gem and so underrated — the best Chinese food in Burnaby by far. The lunch special is my favourite! Please keep supporting your local restaurants — places like this are what make the community special.

Peking Restaurant is one of those old-school Chinese restaurants that harkens back to days gone by. This is a smallish restaurant and was not very busy when were here.
We ordered the Pork Siu Mai ($8.95) - with a fairly yummy mushroom and pork filling, Deep Fried Squid ($12.95) - with alluring spicy salty goodness, the Halibut with Ginger and Green Onions in Maggi Sauce ($13.95) - bone-in and savory from the caramelization, the Veggie and Pork Tofu Skin Wraps in Oyster Sauce ($8.95) - a bit loosley wrapped, and the House Special Egg Foo Young ($20.95).
Overall, the food was pretty good and they also have a number of lunch specials.

The food was disgusting ,no flavor, didn't look like chicken, don't know what it was.The calamari was so tough we sent it back and then they still changed us .We had to argue to get taken off the bill. ONLY people in the restaurant .The close sign was put on at 8:30 and the waitress left and we got the feeling we should leave. Very disappointed. Never again Sooo experience for quality of food

Ordered take out to our hotel room. The lady on the phone was so very nice. Then the delivery fella came with our food and was the sweetest man! So happy and appreciated the tip. ( not a food delivery company) and the food was excellent , reminded me of the good old days chinese food. Top notch chow mein, prawns and almond chicken

Came here for a spontaneous lunch date. Atmosphere and service is exactly what you’d expect from a classic chinese restaurant, not too fancy and not too dingy. The gentleman running front of house will come by and check on you, but otherwise will be chatting it up with back of house, and thats when you know you’re in a good chinese restaurant.
We ordered deep fried dumplings, hot and sour soup, a big bowl of beef brisket noodle soup, and szechuan beef friend rice.
Not a single issue with any of these dishes, aside from the noodles being slightly too overdone. The dumplings were crispy, and the rice brought back good childhood memories of eating fried rice at old favorites that didn’t make it through the years.
I am absolutely coming back here again :)

This place was awesome. My neighbours recommended it for take out. They do delivery. Top notch driver, he was so nice and welcomed us to order again. The food was really great; beef and broccoli lots of beef and the broccoli was perfect. Chicken chow mein was really good as-well! Definitely will recommend to my fellow neighbours.

Food was fresh . Owners were happy and present , making sure I was satisfied . Will come back again
Dinner combo for a good price The place is a bit old and small but it's relatively quiet for dinner so we could still sit comfortably.
Food is not bad in general. It's family style food.
There's no parking on site but there are a lot of free street parking around.

Beware of this place. Got the takeout menu through their website that I found through a google search. The menu said Dinner for 2 for $29, so I went ahead and ordered it. When I came to pick it up, the bill was $41. When I asked the lady why the price differed, she said they have a new price. She then goes online and uploads the new price list and charges me the new price. Talk about scamming people.
And for the amount of food and price compared to the ones from the competitors down the road, I dont recommend this place. Its not worth it.

We dined here the other night, and I have to say we left feeling incredibly happy and satisfied. The food was outstanding—everything was fresh and flavorful, and we couldn’t be more pleased with our experience.
The service was just as impressive. Our server made us feel like honored guests in his home, greeting us warmly, chatting, and even sharing a few jokes. His friendliness and hospitality really added a personal touch to the evening.
Since we live only a few minutes away, this has quickly become my favorite Chinese restaurant. It seems they get more takeout orders than dine-in customers, but this spot definitely deserves more love. If you’re thinking of giving it a try, go for it—you won’t regret it!
