Why go
Peking is a practical Takamatsu pick when convenience matters more than a destination-dinner brief. Use it as an easy lunch or dinner near Kataharamachi, then cross-shop Kawafuku Honten or Ueta Udon for lower-cost udon and Koryori Yarn for a more planned, higher-spend meal.
About Peking
Peking in Takamatsu is a casual venue with lunch and dinner hours on operating days. It makes sense when the goal is an easy meal in Takamatsu rather than a plan built around published accolades, a stated price range, or a clearly described format.
The venue should be treated as a casual option, not a special-occasion anchor. Use it for a flexible lunch or dinner when timing matters more than ceremony. That can be useful in Takamatsu, where a food-focused day may involve choosing between several different meal stops.
Use it as the repeatable stop, not the headline meal
For a multi-visit strategy, put Peking in the easy-meal slot: one visit when the schedule calls for a casual lunch or dinner, another only if the first meal fits the pace of the trip. If you are comparing options, names to consider include Kawafuku Honten, Ueta Udon, Koryori Yarn, ミオ・パエーゼ, and 両忘.
The tradeoff is clarity. Peking has usable opening windows across lunch and dinner on operating days, which helps travelers who do not want to plan every meal around one seating. Diners who care about a specific cuisine, tasting format, counter experience, price range, or dietary handling should choose a venue with more defined expectations.
How to slot it into a Takamatsu food day
Make lunch the first test if the schedule is loose. Dinner is the better fallback when the group wants something casual later in the day, but it should not replace a more clearly documented booking if the meal needs firm expectations in advance. For a broader food plan, pair this kind of stop with other Takamatsu dining, then save any more structured meal for somewhere with a clearer format.
Verdict: choose it for casual dress, repeatability, and lunch-and-dinner opening windows from Tuesday through Sunday. Skip it if the meal needs documented accolades, a known chef, a stated cuisine, or a clearly defined spend before committing. For wider planning, use the full Takamatsu restaurants guide.

The take
The Take
The Vibe
Peking positions itself as a focused Chinese kitchen within Takamatsu’s urban fabric, operating in the quieter, less-discussed layer of the city’s food scene. The editorial voice highlights a kitchen oriented toward Chinese techniques and lineage while drawing on Shikoku’s specific ingredients — shellfish from the Seto Inland Sea and citrus from Kagawa’s uplands — which distinguishes it from larger-city counterparts. The result reads like a regional specialist rather than a tourist landmark: modest in profile, quietly confident in provenance, and rewarding for diners who value ingredient-driven, culturally rooted cooking.
Best For
This is a destination for diners who want to explore Takamatsu beyond its ubiquitous udon identity. It suits locals and visitors interested in regional interpretations of Chinese cuisine that foreground Seto Inland Sea seafood and Kagawa citrus. The location on Kataharamachi makes it appropriate for casual neighborhood meals and for food-minded travelers seeking a specialist restaurant that reflects local produce and tastes. It’s less a flashy spot for celebrations and more a steady, culinary-focused option for exploratory, ingredient-led dining.
Ordering Tips
Order dishes that call out local produce — the kitchen explicitly leverages the Seto Inland Sea’s shellfish and Kagawa’s citrus — and don’t miss the restaurant’s signature Setouchi lemon dumplings. Look for menu items that highlight seafood and regional vegetables; those selections are central to what differentiates Peking from larger-city Chinese restaurants. If you’re sampling, prioritize items that reference Setouchi or Kagawa ingredients to get the clearest sense of the restaurant’s regional approach.

Restaurant context
How it compares in Takamatsu
Peking is the easy-choice option in this set: better for a flexible meal than for a planned splurge. Koryori Yarn is the clear higher-spend alternative at JPY 10,000–JPY 14,999, so choose it when the meal needs to feel more intentional and budget is already part of the plan.
For value, Kawafuku Honten and Ueta Udon are easier to justify on price, both listed under JPY 999. Those are stronger picks when the goal is a quick, low-cost Takamatsu meal rather than a sit-down fallback near Kataharamachi.
両忘 and ミオ・パエーゼ are the cross-shops when ambience or a more defined dinner mood matters. Peking works better as the low-planning choice; choose the others when the room itself is part of the decision.
