Saw some postings on the place so decided to try it out. Horrible service (sadly confirmed by another Yelp reviewer on the same day!) as waiters don't seem to take orders correctly, got charged for an extra dish and they added 18% service charge for kicks. Too bad as the food was pretty decent and good parking.

Peking Alley is a traditional Chinese restaurant that offers an authentic Beijing-style dining experience. The ambiance is classic Chinese with a long-established feel, and it provides convenient parking. The service is friendly and generous, with staff who are always eager to help and answer questions. The food is authentic and flavorful, with dishes like the tender and juicy Pork Hock, and the crispy and flavorful jianbing guo zi. The restaurant features Beijing-style local dishes that are hard to find elsewhere, making it a unique spot for northern Chinese cuisine. On weekends, they serve jianbing, which is simple and authentic, and customers can request it with youtiao instead of crisps. Other popular dishes include wonton soup, tofu with veggies, and dumplings with thick and chewy skins. Portions are generous, and prices remain reasonable. Customers praise the delicious dishes, such as scallion pancake with beef and mayonnaise shrimp, as well as the large portions and friendly staff. Although some feel the quality has slipped slightly over the years, especially after the relocation, Peking Alley remains a solid option for those craving authentic northern Chinese food in a welcoming atmosphere.
