Has got to be one of the top three worse places I have ever eaten at. The buffet was 90% empty the whole time we were there, and what pans had food in them were cold and had been sititng forever. The plates were paper , silverware plastic and drink cups were red solo cups. Which i might say the fountain pop in the red solo cups was the best thing at this place. It was very very over priced for 2 adults, 6yr old, 7yr old and 3 drinks were almost $54.00 for an empty buffet.

From what I had heard this place USED to be great, but as I was greeted with paper plates and red Solo cups for my meal, I started to worry. Then comes the food; I'm sorry but you can have the absolute best staff in the world, but if your food looks and tastes like it has been out for a month, you've got problems. Then, after struggling through what we had assumed to be the safest options, we found plastic in the ice cream. If you want Chinese there are a hundred places around that would be better than Peking, including frozen from Walmart.

The bathrooms were horrible, I was afraid to wash my hands in the sink and there wasnt even any soap.
The food was not great and definitely not worth the price.
This place definitely needs an up grade. I would not recommend wasting your money.

Stopped in at an off time, but food was almost inedible. Paper plates, thin plastic cutlery, and red solo cups said everything I needed to know.

I've eaten here before and had great luck. I hope they make the changes needed to survive in the industry.

Our server was very polite, as was everyone working there today.

The lo mien, french frys, Boston roll, and sesame chicken were pretty good otherwise it was pretty subpar. The fish pond and rock sculpture were pretty.

This place was amazing, years ago….. since their remodel (also years ago) ive tried visiting now and then and, ugh. It’s always a disappointment.
You use papers plates… and drinks are served in solo cups. How many bags of plates and cups trash do you think they have in a single day? That seems insanely terrible for the environment.
If their floor is even slightly wet, you will fall. Beware. They sometimes have rugs pretty much running throughout the entire tile floor because of it. Very ghetto. Ha
And lastly, the food, it’s nothing special. Their fried rice tasted like Mexican rice today. Interesting.

There was a variety of food that was almost gone and looked old that you could eat off paper plates and use plastic silverware. The food didn't taste all that good either. The waitress was nice though.

This is my husband’s favorite spot to eat when we visit Iowa City for appointments. It is on our way back home from the hospital. We have eaten at all times of the day. I do suggest if you want fresher hot food to go at lunch or supper time. As the middle of the afternoon the food if good but it has been sitting awhile. Lunch and supper have always been delicious. One of my favorites is the hot crab and cheese dish! The building is looking aged and the bathroom needs some deep cleaning. The service has always been excellent, with light music in the background.

Food was typical chinese buffet. Nothing worth the detour. Mussels were just boiled bland. Sweet and sour soup was so dark in color, it looked almost inedible to the eye. What really made this place earn the 1 star was they're still living in the pandemic years where only plastic utensils, plates and cups were being used. The place is also dark, sticky tables and sticky floors. Typical Chinese buffet freaking.
