Being in my early 30s, there are only so many restaurants I can say I’ve been patronizing for 30 years. Peking Gourmet Inn is one such restaurant. In its 30+ years of operation, not a whole lot has changed. My wife and I went for our anniversary, and got the essentials: A Suffering Bastard (or a few), Fried Dumplings, Peking Duck carved table-side, and Szechuan Beef Proper. Peking Gourmet Inn must have caught the tail end of the Tiki craze when it opened because its polynesian-style drinks are delicious and potent. They are a little sweet, but I imagine this is how they were preferred back when tiki was king. Two suffering bastards will make even a seasoned drinker buzzed. The 5 Suffering Bastard Challenge will put down even the most resilient frat boy in his prime (I, and my friends, would know). The food is excellent. The menu does not change, and foodies might be disappointed, but I don’t see how one could complain about delicious comfort food provided in large portions. Visiting Peking Gourmet Inn is like going back in time. The cocktails are strong, the army of servers are in smart uniforms and eager to please, and you can count on having a reliably pleasant dinner. The wife and I had a great anniversary dinner. We got to see what Chinese Zodiac Sign our future child will be. We’re still enjoying the leftovers, and we hope to enjoy Peking Gourmet Inn for another 30+ years.
