ROYAL PEKING RESTAURANT
World Wide Experience in Chinese Cuisine!
Our vast experience in chinese cuisine dates back to the 1960's when the owner established a chinese restaurant in Hong Kong. We moved on to London in the 70's to gain more experience from a famous Chinese restaurant, "Peking Rendezvous." During this time our chef got eh opportunity to serve celebrities.
In 1974, we opened the "Royal Peking Restaurant" in Lawrence. We are proud to mention that we were recommended by the "Kansas City Star" in 1975 and by the "Wichita Beacon" in 1976 as the place to go for "Excellent Peking Cuisine." We are also listed in the "Las Vegas restaurant Guide" as one of the best Chinese restaurants to go to in Lawrence, Kansas. Most recently, Kansas authors Bobbie Pray and Glennis Mann rated us one of the top Lawrence restaurants in their book "Let's Go Eat."
