Peking Restaurant

Listen... first of all, the owner answering the phone is hilarious! If you aren't from around here, or if you are, and don't have a sense of humor, don't call. Have your order together, she doesn't have time to sit on the phone while you decide what you want, and then go cook your food, while simultaneously handing orders through the drive thru window. If you're easily offended, move along, that phone call isn't for you. If you like Chinese food and don't mind a short and to the point phone call to order your food, with someone who is busy, and snappy, you'll love it! We used to go in and eat as kids.. but haven't in a long time and since Covid she's only had drive thru.. which is fine. Not sure what the inside looks like anymore. Almond chicken is my favorite, as well as their wonton soup.

Excellent Chinese food. Everything I ordered was a few notches above my expectations.

Great find in Fremont, Ohio! My daughter and her family recently moved to a nearby town and we have been having fun trying area restaurants to find new favorite places for options. Chinese food has eluded us - until Sunday. I had driven by Saturday night and noticed the parking lot and drive-thru were packed; always a good sign. We decided to try it for lunch on Sunday a few hours before a soccer game and we were thrilled from start to finish. Our party was two adults and two children so we ordered two entrees and an appetizer since the dinners include a cup of soup and an egg roll there was more than enough food for all of us. Appetizer 1: shrimp toast (pictured) - the elusive delight I have not been able to find in ANY Chinese restaurant in NW Ohio, ever. Light, crisp, hint of shrimp flavor and the kids loved them too. $2. Appetizer 2: (included with dinner) egg roll. Perfectly stuffed and fried; crisp but not oily at all and even the 4-yr old who has aversion to cabbage enjoyed the perfectly cooked filling and ate every bit of his half egg roll. Appetizer 3: (also included with dinner) soup. We had 2 appetizers so we chose won ton for the 8-yr old (declared it the best soup she has ever had) and egg drop for the 4-yr old (ate every drop, including drinking from the cup when it was all gone) Seriously - the above would make a great light meal. But the entrees - oh ... the meal continued this great trend. Dinner 1: Sweet and sour chicken. The dinners come with fried rice as default, which delighted the 4-yr old who was sharing this entree with his 8-yr old sister. It comes with vegetables, which seem to all be fresh vegetables, which was really delicious. (Even the water chestnuts seemed to be fresh vs coming out of a can) We did skip the tomatoes, though - the sauce is light and was really tasty. The chicken is white meat, hand-cut and lightly breaded with panko and perfectly fried. I will admit I helped them finish this entree. Dinner 2: Garlic shrimp / spicy - we asked for white rice. This was really good and the spice was very subtle. The sauce was on the thick side (lots of cornstarch, I'd guess) but very tasty and easy enough to avoid to make it a lighter meal. I enjoyed it with some steamed white rice (and stolen chicken from the other entree) and my daughter skipped the rice and had half a dinner roll instead. The menu is quite extensive and we grabbed a carry-out menu for next time if dining "in" is not going to fit into our schedule. There are several token "American" items on the menu - including french fries, grilled cheese, burgers, chicken tenders and the only odd thing I noted was every meal was served with a very large wheat yeast dinner roll. It was really good so I'm not complaining - it was just very unexpected and a little quirky; which I really like. The service was excellent. Our waitress was wonderfully attentive and the food was delivered very quickly and she was a delight, despite the very busy restaurant. The food was superior and a great value. Our total check was just under $26. Similar meals are typically over $40 for the 4 of us - so this was a wonderful surprise. Parking is available; but somewhat limited - if the lot is full park closeby even if you are in a hurry. There is plenty of seating inside and service is excellent. I may have already mentioned that ... While we were waiting to pay the check, the cashier was also handling the carry-out / drive-thru business but handled both queues with ease and efficiency. We will be back - either inside or pickup for sure. Soon. Four thumbs up!
