“We want to thank Shakespear's Pizza for being such an amazing community partner! Habitat was lucky enough to build 4 homes in 10 days with volunteers from all over the nation. Shakespeare's decided to not only donate a lunch for all of the volunteers on the construction site, but also provide pizza for hundreds of guests celebrating the completion of Blitz Build. 4 families were able to become homeowners through this event and pizza is the moving-day meal of America! Thank you for all you do in our community! Kind staff, great and affordable food, community focused:10/10 recommend!“

“Do yourself a favor and check this place out! This is our second time in recent months. We had the beef bulgogi, salmon and a couple sushi rolls. You get a free appetizer that they choose also. For what you get, it is very affordable and you can tell made with love. We'll definitely be back!“

“Emma G was THE best server I’ve ever had. She got our drinks and apps within 5 minutes of us sitting down, before I even thought to wonder where she was, she was checking in with us but not quite lingering, and never let my cup empty! She is top dog and deserves the world + the biggest bonus.“

“Truly enjoyed indoor dining at Peking Restaurant with my husband. Large menu with a ton of options. Food was delicious and flavorful. It didn’t take long to receive our food and the staff was pleasant. Great option for good food. Decent size restaurant but could stand to have more seating when there’s a full house. 😉“

“They make the best tortillas. We drive 40 minutes to Columbia just to get them!“

“The food is excellent, the staff is kind, the vibe is fantastic! Also, I wanted to come on here and review because your gluten-free menu is incredible! On all three of our recent visits, the staff was so enthusiastic about us eating gluten free, which is not the normal reaction we get. Thank you SO much for the joy you are spreading through your establishment!“

“Delicious food, sourced locally from Mid-Missouri farmers. Yummy beer. Exceptional service. They make me feel special when I know that I'm not...and I like that! It's my #1!“

“I was very happy with my pickup order!

My wife wanted ramen from le Bao. But we live about 30 minutes from town. At other restaurants in Columbia, they would never package my food separately from sauce. And by the time I got home, our takeaway was always soggy. So ordering soup noodles seemed like a bad idea haha

But wife wanted ramen. So, I ordered and asked in the note section to please package noodles, broth and topping separately. So, I could heat it up when I got home.

I fully expected them to not do this. And I'm not the confrontational type, so I didn't even check the bag when I picked it up.

But I was so happy when I opened my order up and saw that they carefully portioned all the ingredients into their own containers! And even wrapped the broth into separate bags so nothing spilled/leaked.

It's small things like that make me return to a restaurant. Getting takeaway in the days post covid, when so many restaurant industry workers are burnt out on doordash and grubhub. They don't have the capacity to go that extra mile anymore.

But this place did and it meant a lot to me. So, I just wanted to share.“

“Came here on a whim as a stop between KC and St. Louis. It was a good bit off the highway, but I'm glad we stopped in. The service was good and the food was delicious. I got the Country Fried Chicken and my wife got the Philly. Both were very good, especially the fries.“

“The 5 out of 5 spiced green curry was absolutely phenomenal. From the spice to the basil to the perfect bamboo shoots, it couldn’t have been better.“

“Wings and beer. Perfect start to a game day“

“Not a great beer selection, but decent IPA at a low price. The place was really busy on a Saturday night, with lots of college kids watching the game on big screens. They have drinks promotions every day, and free WiFi. Comfortable outside and inside seating areas and friendly staff.“

“The owners are nice and welcoming. We stopped in for carry out and it only took about 20 minutes to order and get our food. We ended up getting the sweet and sour beef, sweet and sour pork ribs, beef bulgogi and crab rangoon. Everything tasted amazing! The sweet and sour dishes were not overly sweet which is what I was expecting. I will be going back for more.“

“Would definitely be a regular if I lived in the area! Good portions, tasty food, loved the chips, salsa and queso!“

“Delicious food, well-prepared, and relaxing atmosphere“

“We have visited this restaurant several times as I have two grandchildren at MIZZOU. We have always been more than pleased with the food and the service. I also, want to thank the kind manager, who took the time to track me down and let me know they had found a watch that I lost while visiting the restaurant. This was above and beyond. I highly recommend this establishment.“

“The food is great. The staff are old friends when you walk in the door. It is one of a kind! ♥️“

“Our server was named ty.she was absolutely fantastic.we will be back.awesome food too.“

“We want to thank Sake Japanese Bistro for being such an amazing community partner! Habitat was lucky enough to build 4 homes in 10 days with volunteers from all over the nation. Sake provided meals for hundreds of volunteers on the construction site! They made delicious bento boxes with a variety of different foods! Lo Mein, dumplings, sushi, you name it! Even the least adventurous eaters loved it! Four families were able to become homeowners through this event and we appreciate everyone coming together to make it happen! Thank you for all you do in our community!“

“It's a must every time im in Columbia absolutely love there pizza..“

“They have mocktails! Showed up for lunch and sat at the bar. The bar tender was super sweet and attentive even though it was busy. The salmon wrap I got was too delicious to get pictures of. We got a pic of the blackberry mojito mocktail my friend ordered though. It was great!“

“Amazing food! The Mac n cheese and corn are UH-MAZING.“

“👏We had a family dinner for 12 last night and had a great time / meal. I spoke with the Manager a day in advance to forewarn her of our large group. Last evening it was a big hit - Hostess GRACE and Server WHITNEY both were perfect - friendly, professional, and handled our group with skill. Thank you!!“
