Peking Toms is located in the middle of Boston’s Downtown Crossing; within short walking distance from area shops, the financial district, and the South Station transportation hub. Its convenient location makes it an excellent spot to go out to lunch or drinks after work. Here they serve trendy Asian dishes with an American influence. The upscale environment makes it a perfect power-lunch destination.
Peking Toms’ menu has many of the traditional items one would expect to find on an Asian-inspired menu, as well as many more-modern creations. For lunch they have excellent meals called "bento boxes" which come with your choice of prepared meat or tofu, tempura vegetables, salad, and rice. All come served on a chicly partitioned square plate. Other meals include traditional Chinese preparations like beef and broccoli, Buddha’s delight, and seared tuna. All are elegantly presented with garnishes in artful dishes.
The ambiance at Peking Toms is very chic and nice. The walls and seating are covered with dark colors and pictures of geisha-art dot the interior. The décor is nice, understated, and very Zen-like.
After about 9pm, Peking Toms turns into a sort of nightclub where local area young-people gather for drinks and scattered dancing. The scene could be a bit snobbish later in the evening, but the service here is always friendly regardless of when you choose to visit this establishment.
