My second visit to this restaurant was as delicious and enjoyable as my first. Glad I don’t live in the neighborhood…I’d be there every week!

Absolute hidden gem! My wife and I have visited from Arizona and per my wife’s recommendation we tried out Peking Cafe. WOW! Truly some of the very best Chinese food I’ve ever had. The sesame chicken was cooked to perfection and the cream cheese wontons were incredible. Service was top notch, everyone was very friendly and welcoming. Got to chat with the owners and was told they’re the 4th generation running this restaurant. Prices were beyond reasonable especially for the portions and quality. Interior might be dated, but that’s part of the charm. You feel warm and cozy inside like in the good old days. Overall highly recommend as it’s a true gem that will be on our go to list every time we visit the Twin Cities area.

We arrived on a Thursday evening with a party of 7. One thing that many of the other reviews arent mentioning is that this place is CASH OR LOCAL CHECK ONLY. We had some visitors from our of state and they would not accept that check. We unfortunately had to walk out and we're not able to even try the food. Maybe we'll try again some other time.
We didn't know what to expect when we visited Peking Cafe on our travels. It's a very unassuming little restaurant. The atmosphere is not modern and looks a bit rough. The many over patrons seated inside told me this was a trusted place for good food. Our server was timely and attentive, but not overly friendly. Our food arrived quickly and received a glowing review from most of our family of 5.

The best Asian food in the area. They have been here for over 50 years and family owned and run. Only take cash and checks.

I'm picky when it comes to my food but this is one of the very few places I'll order from when it comes to Asian food. Really enjoy this
