    Hits the spot when you're craving a big, comforting plate of Chinese food. Everything was genuinely delicious, the place was spotless, and the service was on point.

    This Chinese food is absolutely amazing!!! The atmosphere is extremely clean. The food is fresh. Not to mention, their orange chicken is absolutely DELICIOUS!!! It's so fresh and amazing. The lady who works here is an absolute sweetheart. The price is amazing and the amount of food you get for the price is incredible. I really recommend this place. 10/10.

    Nothing but oil on mushy gross broccoli

Our hands down favorite is the 3 flavor soup. It is awesome for cool weather, really anytime. Mushrooms, celery, broccoli, carrots, shrimp, chicken, and BBQ pork. Not tips and slices, and leftovers-nice sized chunks and pieces. This soup stands alone as a meal on it's own-and is filling. If you look at Pho restaurant prices, the 3 flavor soup is a better deal and a satisfying meal. April 2026 is chilly, get the soup, and be content, and full! If you try it once, I bet you'll have a new favorite. My wife loves it. I order no chow mein in the soup for low carbs. Served HOT. Pretty nice and decent indoor dining area for a takeout place- with marble table tops, and comfy seats, asian style wall images make it nice. Unlike some chinese places, they have a bathrooms for customers-helpful. Cold stone next door makes it a "one Plaza tummy pleaser!"

So the 2 stars is for putting me on a diet.

We had two orders of slippery shrimp, kung pao chicken, eggplants with hot and spicy garlic sauce, juicy steamed dumplings, and pork fried rice. Overall, both restaurants in Chinatown and Pasadena provide great food quality. The ambience was cozy with dim lighting. Our round table had a wooden rotating tray. They have pictures of celebrities and politicians who've visited their restaurant. Service was relatively quick, but there was a 20-minute wait for the dumplings. Valet parking can get difficult when the lot gets full. A few cars entering the narrow driveway had to reverse out of the way to let others leave. The kung pao chicken was very tasty with a good amount of spice. I noticed that the slippery shrimp didn't taste as spicy as the portion from Pasadena. Reviews say that the spice is adjustable. Regardless. it tasted great as it came right off the pan. The pork fried rice was delicious with a savory flavor that didn't seem overpowering. I thought the juicy steamed dumplings were the weakest dish out of our whole order. There wasn't enough flavor and heat from the broth. I didn't try much of the eggplants, but they tasted adequate for me.

Because let me tell you... it has been a **long, long time** since I've had Chinese food that made me believe in love again. Then the food came out. The rice? STICKY...PERFECTLY STICKY!!! Perfect. MOIST, not mushy... just minding its business and being amazing. Like, where have you been all my life? Why did you let me suffer like that? And the sweet and sour pork... listen... crispy on the outside, tender on the inside... it had layers. Emotional layers. I wasn't just eating, I was healing. The Broccoli and beef...game changer. The broccoli had a fresh snap to it mmmm fresh! But what blew me away was the beef, it resembled Wagu meet. So tender so flavorful. I was sitting there, slowly munching my night away, completely unbothered, living my best life like I had just found inner peace... in a takeout container, but better, it was on a plate! At one point I literally thought, "Is this what happiness tastes like?" Because I was in full "Wok Deli" Chinese style. No passport, no jet lag, just vibes. I didn't want to leave. I considered ordering more just to stay longer like, "Don't rush me, I'm having a moment." If you've been out here struggling like I have, eating mediocre Chinese food and pretending it's okay... stop. Go here. Fix your life. 10/10. Came for food, left emotionally fulfilled.

When it was brought to my table, I was in shock!! It looked like somebody had vomited on this The shrimp had such a strong, pungent shrimp taste that I knew it was not fresh besides the gross soupy mess that it was drenched in. I asked the woman that served us that I did not like the dish at all, and if she could bring me something else. She immediately told me "no"without even allowing me to explain why I did not like the dish. I told her I would like something else again and she said "no u pay" I told her I would not pay for this dish and she said she would call the police if I didn't Every restaurant I've been to has always accommodated the customer, but this lady was from another planet She not only ruined my lunch with my daughter, but proceeded to set her alarm when I walked out She followed us out and started yelling at me and all I could tell her back was that she was a terrible person & gave horrible service Do yourself a favor & NEVER EAT HERE!!

This has become one of our go-to family spots because the experience is always consistent -- welcoming staff, fast service, generous portions, and dishes that actually taste freshly cooked instead of rushed. What we ordered this visit: Crispy Garlic Fried Pork -- perfectly golden, crunchy, and packed with flavor. The garlic topping took it to another level. Easily one of the standout dishes. Pan Fried Noodles with Beef -- classic comfort food done right. Noodles had great wok flavor and weren't overly greasy. Sizzling Bitter Melon Beef -- tender, savory, and super satisfying with rice. Stir-fried Eggplant -- fresh, vibrant, and a great balance to the heavier dishes. Everything came out hot and quickly, even during a busy dinner hour. The team checked on us often and made sure drinks, tea, and plates were always refreshed -- service like this is why we keep coming back.

Not only do they serve some of the most authentic Cantonese cuisine in the area, but the staff are consistently warm and friendly -- unlike the "typical" stereotype of Chinese restaurants where servers may ignore customers' requests.

New Peking Restaurant is not a new business in Cerritos, nor is it new to restaurants on South St. Formerly located on Bloomfield and South, but because of the closure of the plaza it was originally located at, New Peking relocated to South and Pioneer at the Sprouts plaza. With many Asian restaurants at this plaza, New Peking took over the prior Thai restaurant and now there is a Chinese restaurant to join the variety of Asian flavors. I truly believe that New Peking has made a change for the better compared to what I remember how the food was at their prior location. If part or the relocation was a change in menu choices or a new chef, whatever it was, if there was even a change, things are looking very promising for New Peking Chinese and Korean Restaurant. Service was pretty good as well. I don't know if the word has gotten out yet, but they weren't extremely busy, but including our table, there was another big table celebrating something and the ladies handled it well. Service was great. New Peking might be the new go to for family get togethers because one, they have the space to accommodate large groups and two, they accepted our reservation.
