Hope they improve, service was astounding, but curry needs some serious work. Chicken was so chewy I couldn’t eat more than a few bites, and it was very nontraditional curry in the sense that there was no sauce. I’m not one to be bashful just think they can do better

I ordered the almond chicken. It had fried chicken, crushed almonds, and GRAVY! It also had no almond flavor. I can’t remember what my mom ordered but she said it wasn’t that great. It also wasn’t very busy to begin with. So if a restaurant isn’t very busy to begin with then it’s a sign the restraunt might not be very good.

Worst experience. Flies everywhere around our food and in our food. Soda had a bad flavor. Food was not good rice was cold noodles were not cooked well. We didn’t eat half of the food we ordered and when we talked to the manager he said it happens to everyone. He then offered us 10% off our receipt we were very unhappy and displeased but were trying not to make a scene in fron od ther customers but we had to being attention to the fly problem. We ended up having to pay 50% of the ticket for food that we could not eat and the service was awful. Sorry but I do not recommend. For great Asian food go to Red Bento instead.

Came here twice. Food wasn’t too bad. However both times I had a severe heart burn right after dinner (couldn’t breathe, felt like I was gonna die of a heart attack). Other people didn’t seem to have the same reaction, and I have never had heart burns elsewhere. Not sure why this happened.

While the food was enjoyable, neither it nor the restraunt justified the prices.

Great for large groups or family meals if you’re okay spending $20+ per person for Panda Express -level foods.

Old Peking tried to kill me and pitted my friends against me.

I walked in here wanting to try the other Chinese places around Moscow. I did live above Friendship square and had tried Hong Kong, frequented Chang Tsing and was neutral about Li’s. One Friday night I convinced my friends to deviate from our normal evening at Chang Tsing and try Old Peking on Main. The menu differed and so I was forced to be adventurous. I got what they call the bachelor special or something like that, it was similar to Chang Tsing’s dinner combos and allowed me to test several things in one meal. I got the Sweet & Spicy Pork with the Cashew Chicken, egg drop soup and fried rice.

The egg drop soup was like chicken noodle soup… with out the chicken or the noodles. It had bits of peas and carrots and the egg in it was grey. They had also added a lot of salt. Yeah it was bad.

The fried rice was this yellow hue and it indeed was fried, but I don’t remember there being any egg in it at all, they had also added salt to it. Not terrible, but bad.

Sweet and Sour Pork, was passable even though the pork was tough and the sweet and sour sauce was very mediocre.

And now for the part of the dish that killed me and alienated me from my friends. The cashew chicken. It was dreadful, I honestly cant describe it. The only thing I can think of is that they served me pieces of chicken fat or undone chicken it was tender but it did not taste like chicken. Thinking it was it was a fluke I tried another morsel of chicken. Nope. Here I was desperate to have some variety in my life and so I tried once more with little hope in my mind that this would become the Chinese place of choice. Done with the plate, I offered some of the chicken to my other friends around the table, they looked at me with pained eyes as they managed to struggle through their different dishes.

What temporary lapse of judgment went through my head next would cause years of criticism, “Maybe I just don’t like it because it’s not my thing I’ll offer it to my friend Walter. He has an Iron stomach, loves all Chinese food and will eat anything.” So I got a to-go box. The rest of my evening was filled with dreadful burps reminding me of the monstrosity I had just consumed.

The following morning I had a knock on my apartment door with a frantic Walter demanding what he had done to deserve this fate. He thought I had poisoned him and he’s never let me live it down.

Truthfully, it is partially my fault. I had the right and even the grounds for complaining about my food and ordering something new, instead I left giving no feedback so that they could improve or even knew what they did was wrong.

Best asian joint in all of north idaho! Everything i ordered was delicious and packed with flavor. The only negative thing i can say is that they’ve ruined me on all other asian restaurants.

Best pho around here for sure. We also ordered mushu pork and off the menu food and they were pretty good as well…for Moscow/Pullman’s standard that is. Service is awesome as well, I would recommend it.

I used to love this restaurant but the last few times I’ve eaten there the food was overcooked and the sauces tasted … odd. Not going back. It’s too bad because I loved the service.
