CiCi’s in Tyler is one of those places that may seem like a good idea at the time but never actually fulfills any decent expectations you may have had of it. CiCi’s combines pizza, buffet style dining, and screaming children into a one of a kind restaurant experience. CiCi’s may offer a pizza buffet at a decent price but they know that any sane person will be driven away within half an hour by the accumulated sounds of arcade games, whining kids, and several televisions all projecting angry sports announcers. The over stimulating environment is, I suspect, nothing more than a clever ploy developed by the buffet style restaurant industry to stop you from claiming the seven pizzas your four dollars gives you the right to under the eternal Law of Buffet.

They bombard you with flashing lights, constant loud ringing noises. A petting zoo themed restaurant would have a better family environment. CiCi’s doesn’t have bad pizza either, they show no shame in baking a funnel cake in a pizza oven and then pretending pizza was always covered in chocolate syrup. And I can respect the kind of courage it takes to offer decent quality dessert at a buffet, I imagine strawberry chocolate cheesecake has brought many a great franchise to its knees. CiCi’s could definitely improve its atmosphere. But If you can handle the overwhelming surroundings they have some good pizza.

P To The King

Prepare yourself for an adventure into a foreign land, exotic smells, tastes and people await you in this Asian utopia of flavor. As you enter it is important not to let the dingy walls and ceilings discourage you. For the dinge is but a badge of honor, received through the service of the many customers who left that wonderful place with hearts content and stomachs full of what was probably chicken. No need to worry about difficulty ordering, it won’t be hindered by the language barrier, if anything it’s more like a language ferry, a ferry of charming grammatical mistakes and adorable accents ready to float you across the river of semantics and into the world of sesame chicken and fried rice.

In a hurry? Then feel free to try their world class drive through, but be prepared to wait in line at lunch time, Peking is pretty popular with the hospital lunch crowd. Yes, Tyler should be very proud to have this one of a kind restaurant, adorned with tapestries and golden cats it has a level of sophistication that’s absent from most other Tyler Texas restaurants and should you happen to feel unsafe swallowing such big pieces of food with those little sticks than look no further than the back door, where the thoughtful owners have given you instructions for rescuing your asphyxiating, chop stick impaired friends. So if Asian cuisine is what you want look no further than Peking restaurant. It’s way better than stupid Shoguns.
