Restaurant Review:
Royal Peking
By Kevin Kampwirth, Jayplay writer
"I'm happy to announce that I've found the remedy for your far-East blues."
If you're like me, you enjoy some appetizing Chinese food every once in a while and Lawrence has many to offer. But locating a Chinese restaurant that meets your own personal tastes is a whole different story.
Recently, I found one that I really enjoyed. Royal Peking, 711 W. 23rd St., boasts some of the most delectable Chinese food that Lawrence has to offer. During my first visit to the restaurant, I ordered a dish called Chicken Pepperada. It consisted of chunks of chicken in a spicy sauce with onions, carrots and green peppers. It came with a side of white rice.
The portion was large, which was nice; and the vegetables were crunchy and fresh. The sauce was tasty, but was missing the spicy zing that the dish advertised. I also ordered a side of eggrolls, which were average-tasting.
The food was good, but it was a bit pricey — including a tip I ended up dishing out $14 for one meal.
Overall, though, it was worth it. Next time, save the money from those three weekly trips to McDonalds, and treat yourself to a meal at Royal Peking.
