"After reviewing the menu, we decided to go for a 'running buffet' and shared a variety of dishes, reordering every ten minutes or so. I asked everyone to rate each dish on a scale of 1 to 5, and every main dish received a perfect score of 5, except for the Szechuan Prawns, which got a 5.5, and the sizzling spicy chicken, which scored a 6! The rice and noodles were all delicious—fluffy, tasty, and well-seasoned—but we gave them all a rating of 4 simply because the mains were exceptional. The standout dishes were the Char Siew (honey pork), which we ended up ordering three times, and the sizzling hot spicy chicken, which we ordered twice. It had a delightful kick of heat, was tender and moist, and had a wonderful sauce—even though I tried to manage the scores, they rated it a 6! The Szechuan prawns were plump, firm, and cooked to perfection, and they scored a very hard-fought 5.5, with just the right amount of heat. One of the boys was a bit picky, but we requested a serving of Singaporean noodles without vegetables for him without any hassle. This isn’t just average food; it’s really good, and it comes out quickly, looks appealing, and tastes fantastic—reflecting its price. We also tried the 'wine by the glass' options. The white Chilean Sauvignon Blanc paired well with the food, while I enjoyed an Australian Shiraz that complemented the beef, pork, and spicy dishes nicely. The Italian 'Blush' rosé was also a hit. We're already planning to return on Monday with another group of six to explore more of the menu, and I’m genuinely looking forward to it. If you truly appreciate good food, I highly recommend trying Chef Peking!"

"Booked online and confirmed with Hilton and by The Fork e mail. Hilton Telephoned to confirm 2 days prior to booking date to ensure we were still coming. One of my party couldn't come so I telephoned the Hilton direct the day before the booking to cancel one space which they confirmed verbally but luckily took my mobile number again. On the morning of the booking, the next day, I received a call from the manager to tell me I had no booking at all and he couldn't take a booking as they needed 24 hours notice, I booked on 25th May???? When I proved to him I had confirmation from The Fork the he said that online bookings were a different system and he had no knowledge of it????? After a little while, while he checked again, he came back to me and said I can accomodate you today When we got there the afternoon tea we were served was a cobbled affair with frozen scones defrosted so still really cold and crumble to nothing when cut making it very difficult to put jam and cream on, sandwhiches per person were filled with 1 salmon, 1 plastic cheese that you put on burgers with a little tomato and 1 ham without any pickle or mustard or anything else I could identify other than butter and 1 extra ham to fight over, all predominately white bread. 1 Scone each as I described either plain or fruit, again decide who gets which, cakes were a slice of Victoria sponge, 3 mini maccorons and 1 thin slice of meringue filled with some sort of creamish filling but not very nice. This was not the afternoon tea I had ordered and the price reflected that thank goodness but even then not worth the money. Very, Very disappointing. Had I not telephoned to cancel one place we would have turned up to find nothing in place at all. Not acceptable."
