We were shocked at the selection of over 100 items at this brand new Chinese buffet. Aside from many tables of Chinese and some traditional American foods, there is a sushi bar and a hibachi station where you choose your own ingredients a la Crazy Fire. Plus of course a salad bar including chilled shrimp, and two dessert tables plus an ice cream area. And for $6.95 for lunch on a Saturday! Lunch is that same price every day and dinner is $9.95. I have to say we were blown away, not only by the food selection and tastiness, but also by the politeness of the staff, the quick refilling of every station, and the uniqueness of the decor. Add to that 80′s hits on the stereo and you can be sure Glen and I will be back.

Peking Garden was a great find- I daresay a hidden gem. Though it lies on the corner of a not-so-savory strip mall, the interior has a kind of log-cabin vibe with a pretty koi pond. It would be a great date location.
It was hard to choose what to order because Peking Garden offers a large menu, including the recent addition of a few Thai dishes and a nice selection of vegetarian items. I ordered Kung Pao Chicken, my usual order at my local place. Mom tried some Hunan chicken. My chicken was velvet-tender, with water chestnuts, peanuts, fresh zucchini and celery. Sprinkled within were two types of peppers, the dried red ones and sliced jalapenos. The chicken is not coated and fried like other places, it was lightly sauteed in a flavorful sauce. My lips were quite warm enjoying what I normally have gotten as the mild version.

I ordered hubby some Mala tofu and some hot and sour soup to take home. He enjoyed both and found them quite spicy! So if they tell you something is spicy, don’t doubt it, but you can certainly order it mild like my mom did. Both the brown and white rice were an ideal consistency, slightly sticky and not dry at all.
I look forward to my next meal here- I’d love to try one of the specialties. News and Observer recommends many of the dishes, including the sweet Peking Shredded Pork.

I found a menu on my door for Wang's, which usually isn't necessarily a good sign that a place will have good food but we decided to try them out. We were pleasantly surprised. The veggie stir fries were fresh and everything arrived very quickly. The combination platters are cheap, all for $7. Hubby loved his hot and sour soup so much he downed a whole quart of it at once!
It turns out this is now our go-to place. They deliver to our house usually within 15 minutes and the quality of my Kung Pao Chicken or Egg Foo Young is consistent. Glen’s favorite now is the Home Style Tofu. Check out their menu here.
