Great food high quality. Big portions had to take home leftovers. My velvet jumbo shrimp was definitely fresh. I like that they don’t use brown soy sauce on everything. My wife had a mini bowl of wonton soup which was enough for 2. The original Mai Thi drink is the undisputed best. ⭐

Finally tried this place, and I’m so glad I did! The food was incredible, but the service really stole the show. Attentive, friendly, and just made the meal so enjoyable. I had the Chicken Imperial, and it was beyond good — tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Everything about the meal felt thoughtful, from the presentation to the service. I can’t believe I waited this long to try it, and I know I’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend if you want a spot with amazing food and service that makes you feel like a VIP.

We joked that it was my own fault for ordering a Negroni at a Chinese restaurant – they could definitely work on that one. Mongolian beef, fried rice, gluten free spicy calamari, and the rib appetizer were all highlights. I don’t think we would do the duck again. Overall, very happy and would go back for sure.

Cando Consultations LLC visited Pekin Pavilion this past Saturday. Unfortunately, the experience fell short. My observations indicate that while the restaurant offers a comfortable setting, the overall experience during this visit did not meet expectations set by itself prior.
As a table we ordered the Beef Mongolian, the Imperial Chicken, the Sesame Chicken, the Lo Mein, and the Crab Rangoons.
The Beef Mongolian lacked flavor and tasted very flat. Both the Imperial Chicken and the Sesame Chicken were dry and tough. Even though the sauces were different, once we tasted them side by side they were nearly identical. The most enjoyable item ended up being the Crab Rangoons. Even those were imbalanced because the cream cheese was much heavier than the crab, which was almost nonexistent.
Customer service was friendly and I would rate it a 6 out of 10 based on interactions and attitude. The timing of the service needs improvement. The appetizer was served with the meals. The check was dropped immediately as dessert was being served, which removed the chance to enjoy the moment. It felt rushed rather than considerate.
Small gestures also matter. If you decide to pour a cocktail from a metal shaker tin at the table in an attempt to create a nice presentation, then it would improve the experience to leave the remaining shaker at the table. Not for extra alcohol, but simply to complete the presentation and enhance the feeling of hospitality.
Bathroom cleanliness was a 7 out of 10. The restroom was somewhat clean but very difficult to locate, almost like navigating an open maze.
Valet service was the strongest part of the night and I would rate it a 9 out of 10 for efficiency and urgency. Text system.
Overall, past visits were better. This visit felt underwhelming and disappointing in food quality and the timing of service. We share this review in hopes to encourage Pekin Pavilion, in our opinion, to refocus on delivering the flavorful and reliable dining experiences their locals are accustomed to having.

Great service, good food. They had tons of gluten free options which was amazing. The food was delicious. I recommend the Grand Marnier shrimp and Mongolian beef. Ribs were good but very tough this time. Soda is not free refills which should also be something they should say. It was way too loud.

High end Chinese food, with more flavor, freshly prepared, and with fantastic service! The service is snappy and friendly. The food comes out very quickly. Everything was delicious, although slightly high in price. The atmosphere is nice. You may not come here every week but it’s a great treat once in a while. I got angel hair pasta rice with yellow curry vegetables and pork. I was very happy with my choice. We also got pork soup dumplings for an app which were great. They said it would take 10 minutes to come out and it probably took 8. Also there was no wait at 5:45 on a Friday evening and it looked like they turn over tables very quickly. We will be back!

The best Crab Rangoon I’ve ever have! everything was so good! the service is very good as well.. It’s on the pricier side when it comes to Chinese food but definitely worth it! Our family of 5 came on a weekend, it’s pretty busy but there’s no wait time and we got accommodated right away! Everyone enjoyed the food and definitely can share for each serving..

We went to Peking Pavilion in Manalapan after reading so many glowing reviews and went in with high expectations. While the service truly lived up to the hype…prompt, friendly, and very attentive…the food itself fell well short for us.
Most of the dishes we ordered leaned heavily toward fried, greasy, and overly sweet. We tried the Grand Marnier Prawns, Sesame Chicken, and Mu Shu Chicken, and found them all fairly one-note and unmemorable. Perhaps this is simply the style of Cantonese cuisine they’re known for, or maybe we ordered the wrong dishes, but nothing really stood out or made us want to return.
That said, it’s easy to see why locals enjoy the place: generous portions, polished service, and a comfortable, familiar feel. Still, if you’re looking for lighter, more balanced flavors or something a bit more refined, this may not be your spot.
Given the food and the fact that they don’t accept reservations for parties of five or fewer, this was a one-and-done for us. A pleasant experience from a service standpoint…but not a meal we’d seek out again.

We came here because one of our friends said it was the top Chinese cuisine in NJ. She wasn’t wrong. I was impressed overall. The food here is amazing and the Peking Duck is a must try when ordering here. You can either eat it as is, or have the staff create a wrap for you (pictured here) The soup dumplings would be my second favorite here. They also had a local brew, Asbury Park Brewery.
I definitely would definitely go here again. And also make a reservation in advance!
