We sampled 6 soups – Chinese egg drop which was superior, with bits of tomato and other vegetables, hot and sour that was far above average and a special seafood also a fine choice. The Thai tom yum goong was spicy and delicious as was the simple Japanese miso.
Appetizers included coconut shrimp – plump and nicely coated, steamed pork dumpling that had too thick a “skin” though hearty. The spring roll was tasty and the crab Rangoon – made in roll style- was rich with hot cream center. The spare ribs were standard tasting at best.
The Japanese listing of 24 special rolls included a tasty green lobster roll – lobster tempura, dynamite, lettuce, spicy mayo with avocado, a red lobster roll that included spicy tuna, volcano roll (California roll topped with baked scallops ) and chicken tempura roll, hot and crunchy. Outstanding taste of large portions. 17 popular rolls are also presented.
The seafood heading had crystal shrimp – smooth and light and fine. The standard shrimp in lobster sauce was shallow tasting. The standard moo goo gai pan chicken dish was somewhat tasteless and boring. The sweet and sour chicken was well breaded in a nice sweet and sour sauce – try it!
There are a total of 8 seafood and 13 chicken dishes in all plus 8 beef and 8 vegetable listings.
Of the four pork dishes, we had fine moo shu pork shards in a delicate pancake.
A heading of Chef’s Special included Calamari Special – fresh calamari in black bean sauce. Lovers Shrimp, a dish with two distinctive flavors – one side sautéed in a rich tasty basic sauce with a hint of spice, the other in white wine sauce with snow peas and mushrooms – a clever combination to try. The Peking Special is a duo- golden fried beef with crispy shrimp plus a special sauce. There is an excellent special rice with deep flavor we enjoyed very much.
Like curry? – chose from 17 variations, all served with rice noodles. Like Thai foods ?– chose from 9 offerings. Also try any of the 7 Japanese dinner combinations, 9 sushi dinner combinations or one of 4 Peking Tokyo boats!
Peking Tokyo has a pleasant wine list including a choice of six house wines. Add imported and domestic beers, both house suggestions and special drinks from their full bar.
There is a children’s menu in addition to Chef’s special of Chinese and Thai dishes.
