Peking Gourmet Inn - Falls Church

I just moved back to the U.S. from Japan and was highly impressed with my experience at Peking Gourmet Inn. I know this isn't a Japanese restaurant but the food was delicious and prepared in a timely manner. We ordered the Peking Duck, the Spicy Scallops and the Pork Fried Rice. The Peking Duck was delicious but my friend mentioned the sauce was a little different than what he is used to on the west coast. The walls are full with photos of dignitaries and celebrities and it costs us about $75 when we split the bill in two. The servers were polite and my friend and I left extremely full and satisfied.

Peking was the old name of Beijing before 1949. I m from Beijing, so when my friends recommended This restaurant, I definitely was excited to try. We a group of 50 people came and had dinner yesterday. The restaurant walls are filled with pictures of politics and celebrities. The seafood (scallops) soup was the best of all. I highly recommend it. The signature chicken and lamb chop were full of flavors. Joe Yen shrimp are very nice, crispy and seasoned just right. I didn’t take picture of the duck, I was a bit disappointed with it. The sauce is not the authentic sauce, and the Duck was not roasted but fried, the meat is a bit too lean, however all my friends that never had Peking Duck before were happy with the duck dish. So I give a 4 stars.

Four stars only because I am not a big fan of Peking duck. All the other dishes were great.

I visited twice time when I stayed in Washington DC. The Peking duck taste was good but a little pricey. The service was good also.

Our family loves this spot and every time we find ourselves on that side of the beltway we always stop. I highly recommend calling first and making reservations otherwise you might have a small wait. The decor is nice.. this place features a ton of celebrities that have visited over this years. It was said that this place was George Bush Sr favorite place for Chinese?
