Pekin - San Sebastian

I love somebody else’s review of Pekin...”the ambience of a noisy Chinese argument” haha Whilst we didn’t have that ambience experience (it was very quiet, with only one other couple in there), we did have a solid three star experience. As the majority of reviews suggest. If you can’t stand the sight of another **** pintxos, like us, this is a bog standard Chinese that serves more than passable food. We weren’t disappointed.

We stopped in for lunch, just the two of us, so our sample size is small. The premises were narrow, quiet and clean. We each had the won ton soup, which was tasty and hearty. My wife had the chicken with vegetables, which she liked, but which was a little shy on the vegetables. I had the oyster sauce beef, which, although not mentioned on the menu, also included mushrooms; it was good. Pricing was reasonable, with the bill coming to 22 euros tax (19 euros food 3 euros for 2 glasses of wine). Overall, the food was good enough that we took the left overs with us to finish off at a later time.

If you re on the outlook for an alternative to the ubiquitous Pintxos this Chinese place is recommended if you re on a budget or stay in the area. You ll get decent meals, fair portion sizes and speedy service. But don't expect miracles. Their baños need urgent overhaul, conversations with staff are somewhere in between Spanish and Chinglish and the desert menu features Asian pintxos, neither of them declared as sweet. However, good value for money.

Agradable la comida y la atencion

Muy bien
