Wengs of pekin - (Near Pekin, IL)

5 /5 John Mullen: Food was good chicken skewers. There are buildings in the dividers. Took a sec for my drink to come but besides that super awesome.

1 /5 Bridgette Voos: I don’t know what happened to this place but as of 1/2/26 around noon the food looked and tasted like it had sat under those heat lamps all morning. When refilling the buffet they would poor new food on top of the old and mix it all together. When I got what was supposedly fresh chicken and broccoli it had cold parts in the chicken and broccoli. It was also rubbery. The lo mein was either over cooked or sat so long on the bar that it was all stuck together and mushy. The California rolls had avocado that was brown and mushy. For the first half of the time we were dining they did not refill the egg rolls. To get drink refills I had to get up and walk over to the waiter who was sitting by the front door on his phone not checking on any customers. This was by far the worst experience I have as at this restaurant and I have been coming since they opened all the way back when it was Mings. The standard of quality food and service did not follow over to this new name and workers.

3 /5 Jack Baker: The menu is the same as Mings, but it seems like the quality has dropped. Still decent, but, sadly, Mings was better than decent. It looks like theyre reading these reviews. With that in mind, I suggest getting more/better staff. Personally, I would rehire the old cooks, but hiring additional ones might also work.

3 /5 Haz: Staff was very friendly and food came out pretty often to refresh the buffet. I might be rating a tad harsh simply due to being recommended the place a handful of times and it was talked up quite a lot but unfortunately it didnt match my experience. Overall the food wasnt the worst and by the second trip I found a few safe staples (fried fish, Cajun salmon, lo mein, crab rangoon) that I was able to stick to and (almost pleasantly) they werent the same dishes I normally go for. My main gripe is that my table wasnt cleaned from whoever ate there last as there was a large grease streak and crumbs but from what I could tell there was only one waitress who by all rights was on the ball with my drink and removing plates so it might have just been an odd night with a them being short staffed. I might give them another shot but Im not sure.

1 /5 Rodney Daniels: Raw generals chicken pizza stuck so bad to the pan it rips apart when you try to grab it the fries were old as can be the fried mushrooms were hard and cold the mozzarella sticks were cold and hard. Very disappointed in this location this was my last time here. Ooh and on top of that there is a cleaning rag stuck in the ice cream cooler…
