Great food. We had Chicken & Corn soup, the best I’ve had for a long time. Mongolian beef & Fried Rice for main was good. Great prices, mains start at $16. Worth a visit.
Nice little restaurant in the corner of Elizabeth st, North Hobart. The food were nice. Ordered chili beef, sha cha chicken, and chili chicken stir fry noodle. The chili beef were the highlight of our visit. The price was reasonable. Staffs were good and friendly.
A nice small Chinese restaurant. Not the most authentic place, but I don’t think they intend to be given most of the clientele are Australian. Although named ‘Old Peking’ the menu was general Chinese, rather than having a Beijing/Peking focus. The service was friendly and professional – the entre came before our mains, which then came at the same time.We chose the Shrimp & Crab Spring Roll entre, which was the highlight of our meal, with a very soft ‘melt in your mouth’ crispy roll.For our mains we chose cumin beef () which while was very mild, lacking the rich spice that I expected and Double-cooked pork (), the better of the too dishes, although quite westernised. Overall I thought there was a bit too much sauce in the meals which westernised the flavour and less spices thsn you would expect in Chinese food.The place has a Beijing Opera theme (paintings and masks on the walls), a slight detraction being that the water scenes are not from Beijing/Peking but look to be from the Jiangnan water town regions of China – having scenery from Beijing would have been a good finishing touch to an otherwise nicely decorated place.
It’s so easy to do ‘ok’ Chinese and that’s exactly what Old Peking is serving up.The location is great, the decor modern, the service friendly. The food? Nice.I was there in a group of six, which gave us the luxury of ordering a variety of different dishes and sampling each. Seafood supreme, black pepper beef and a sweet and sour pork were amongst the dishes we tried. It was all well cooked and tasted good, but there was no ‘wow’ factor.A venue like this, when there are so many other Chinese options in town, needs a point of difference to keep you coming back, and for me this was missing.Nice enough though and worth a try if you haven’t been yet. forkandfoot.com
Thoroughly enjoyed our meal and prices were very reasonable. The wait time for takeaway on a Saturday night was minimum and the restaurant was full
We ordered twice-cooked pork, egg fried rice and pork dumplings. None of them is authentic, not even a bit! They used bbq pork for the twice-cooked pork, and they put hoi sin sauce on the rice, and the best out of three was the dumplings, but still very bland…the food might be able to get westerner customers, but I don’t think Asians would ever go back
