About Peko Peko

Wells Street's unassuming diner serves punchy Taiwanese comfort food backed by serious wok hei. Regulars pack the tables for shatteringly crisp popcorn chicken, pork chop bento boxes, and signature fried rice tossed with Taiwanese sausage, okonomiyaki drizzle, and crunchy tempura bits. Service moves at clip pace—making short work of lunch breaks—while the kitchen sends orders out steaming hot without weekend markups. Plates land heaped with thin-sliced honey beef, plump pork and prawn wontons, and cold glasses of Taiwanese-style beer.

  • Signature Sausage Fried Rice: Fried rice tossed with Taiwanese sausage, okonomiyaki sauce, and crunchy tempura flakes.
  • Rapid Table Turnover: Orders leave the wok in minutes, keeping tables and takeaway moving without long waits.
  • No Weekend Surcharges: Dining skips weekend price hikes, keeping card processing fees capped at fifty cents.
