New Peking is a delicious new addition to the city of Martinez. Conveniently located right off the Morello Avenue exit, it has quickly become our go-to Chinese restaurant in the area. On our first visit, we tried the crab rangoon, beef chow fun, and steamed dumplings, and were pleasantly surprised by the quality and flavor of each dish. Tonight, we ordered the beef with scallion, shrimp fried rice, chicken chow fun, and the beef scallion wrap. The portions were generous, everything was delicious, and nothing disappointed. The new owners are also very kind and welcoming. We will definitely be back! read more

Love this place! Fresh food, clean kitchen, great prices. After a beloved local spot changed hands & went downhill I'm happy to have this reliable option. I've done take out 4 times so far, it's always been good. You can see into the kitchen when you pick up & it's new looking and clean. We have really liked the chow mein, Mongolian beef, lemon chicken, fried rice (fyi the rice has chopped onions which is unique). Lots of quality white meat chicken. read more

This little gem serves the best fried rice, chow mein, and assorted entrees in the area. Located next to the freeway with tons of parking in the same shopping center as Petco, this place provides a must try visit! I would highly recommend their house fried rice, beef chow fun, egg rolls and cashew chicken! Always delicious!! read more

I was made aware that we had a new Chinese place in town. We used to order from the old place. New Peking is so much better! And... the lunch plates are 7 days a week!! Food is made to order and while we only tried chicken dishes for our first time here, after eating them I am betting the other dishes are fantastic!! Next time I am going to order shrimp. We went in to order and nice gentleman brought out to the truck when it was ready. We asked him to. So glad they are open! Quick and easy and delicious! And affordable! 5 stars read more

This is such a great spot to have down the street! My wife and I often get lunch specials, and so far all of the different options we have tried have been great. Flavorful, packed with meat and veggies, and huge portions. It's a really great value. The staff is also always very friendly. read more

New Peking - Chicken lunch special - Chinese Near Me - Martinez, California

Taking over what used to be ACME Express for many years, New Peking finds themselves in one of the older shopping centers in this area, and doesn't really have much in there besides an IHOP and a Petco. It is in the shopping center across the street from the Lucky's shopping center. Parking is usually not an issue here, as again, not a busy shopping center, so shouldn't have to worry too much about this issue. The spot is pretty small, as previously, ACME was mainly just a takeout place, so New Peking is also mainly just a takeout place, though with a few smaller tables as well set up inside. Obviously, not good for big parties. The staff here are always friendly, though it's usually just the 1 guy there always, which I believe it's a whole family thing as the people in the back are probably related since it's all the same people too in the back. I do always get a friendly wave and hello from them though when they see me come in from their open window kitchen. The menu here is going to be decently sized. It has a little bit of everything on it, but certainly going to be an expansive menu by any means, but still plenty to choose from. Their lunch menu is also decently sized, though, it just doesn't appear that way since they just combined the options of having chicken, beef, shrimp under one item name, so just feels like it's less, but compared to other menus, it's about the same number of items had they listed the different options separately. The biggest selling point here is the price though. Definitely one of the more affordable joints around, and the other part of it is that the portions are also comparable to the lower pricing of their items. A great bang for your buck for sure, particularly since many Chinese food places I've frequented throughout the years seems to be significantly higher now. At this spot, at least this is a selling point for sure. Lunch menu prices are just great, and includes rice (fried rice option free of charge unlike other places, and it's actually decent) and a fried spring roll (make sure to ask for sweet and sour sauce). If you want to feel filled after lunch, this is a great spot for that and you won't be paying all that much. So, let's get down to the important part, which is the food. How does it taste? I feel overall, the dishes that I've tried and ordered have all been pretty decent. One thing I appreciate about their dishes is that most of them have a good variety of other ingredients mixed into them, as opposed to some places where, if you order kung pao chicken, it'll be the same chicken, zucchini, and peanuts in them, and not much else. The ingredients they use here are a bit more varied in these dishes. They'll have some more traditional Chinese cuisine ingredients mixed into these dishes, and they're great because they add texture but also flavor to these dishes. It's a great combination of a little of everything in these dishes. The flavors of these dishes are also well done, and tastes delicious. Tried several flavorings already from the schezuan, to the hot garlic, to the kung pao, and thus far, probably hot garlic is my favorite. I typically pick the shrimp as the option, as they give a good amount of shrimp for your selected entree, and the shrimp is cooked well and delicious. I do enjoy their chicken wings here too, but certainly make sure to order the secret menu item version, and not just the options of regular or spicy. I quite enjoy the secret menu Sesame Chicken Wings flavor for this particular dish, so I would recommend picking this option if you're visiting and want wings. Overall, a place I would recommend for those who are interested in a decent Chinese takeout spot, or a quiet sit down spot because there's not really many seats in there anyways, but this shopping center in general has less foot traffic, so it's rare to have other people seated inside besides waiting for takeout. The bang for your buck aspect is probably the biggest highlight, next to the food being quite yummy, but the portions of food you get for the price are well worth it and one of the main reasons to pay New Peking a visit. read more

About as fantastic Chinese food as you're going to get anywhere! Incredible bang for the buck and wonderful service!! Went in as a first-timer and ordered the sweet and sour shrimp with a side order of rice; put some sriracha on with the incredible sweet sauce and they gave me two rounds of exceptionally hot and delicious tea!! The shrimp was gourmet and fried to perfection. The entire meal was incredibly fresh and also came with steamed broccoli cooked to perfectioni!! The entire experience was just phenomenal! I cannot wait to go back!! read more

I can't judge the food since I never got to order due to the language barrier. My dad who is at the VA hospital in Martinez wanted garlic chicken. I kept asking if the chicken was breaded on the garlic chicken and he kept repeating what I was asking. It was comical. I would ask "is the chicken in the garlic chicken breaded?" The guy would repeat what I said, "is the chicken in the garlic chicken breaded? " After this went on a few times I thanks him and walked out. This is my personal reminder where not to go. read more

First time here under new ownership. Ordered the pepper beef lunch special and it was delicious! Will be back. Highly recommend this place. Try it! read more

Such a successful rebranding - delicious American Chinese food. We tried out their lunch specials (available daily from 11am to 3pm). We got slight variations of the same dish : General Tso's and Sesame. They were both delicious and had the same sweet sauce base. We preferred the General Tso's chicken slightly more since it had a mellow spice to make the sweet sauce more complex. The host was really nice and attentive It is nothing fancy but a neat little diner with 4 tables. I can't wait to go back to try out the rest of the menu. read more

Food, service, and lighting really great! I wish it was more visible to the road so it can get the attention it deserves! This place reminded me of a restaurant I ate at growing up on an island I lived on as a child and I could never find similar flavors anywhere else! Yes, I ordered everything that I had enjoyed! Their portion size is very generous! I will have food for a couple of days hahahah and very worth it! I'm so grateful I'm so happy and I look forward to returning! The waiting time was about 20 minutes or so, but what do you expect for a freshly cooked delicious food! Zero complaints on my end! I recommend this restaurant! Thank you everyone there I taste the love and hard work putting into this food tonight! Thank you beautiful souls/spirits! read more

Small clean place with delicious food. Very reasonable yet generous portions! One of the best and clean tasting Chinese food in the area. I had their pepper steak lunch special for $10.95! Beef was so tender & flavorful, also generous portion of fried rice, tasty but it wasn't salty at all which I love! The spring roll was bigger than your normal size and piping hot. I was hungry but couldn't finish the plate. I got the other half to go for my dinner tonight. The male server was very pleasant, service was quick and efficient. Come try this place! I promise you won't be disappointed. read more

This tiny place came with a huge punch. Our dinner was very affordable, delicious and the servings size was fantastic. Under $30 we had orange chicken, honey walnut prawns, fried rice and egg rolls. Everything tasted incredible, the flavors were on point. Hadn't been there before but we've agreed it will be our go to place moving forward. The young man who helped me was professional and kind. A win-win-win. read more

My family and I took a leap of faith and tried this fairly new Chinese restaurant, to our surprise this food was awesome. Reasonably price food. Overall this place has all the boxes checked.! Consistently great family owned restaurant! Love this place! read more

This place is my favorite Chinese take out in the area. My go to is the sweet and sour pork. I love how they separate the sauce and pork so that way it's more like a dipping sauce instead. Keeps it from getting soggy! The guy who works there always has a smile on his face and is happy to serve. Great restaurant! read more

Chow mein was Aite, peppered beef was way too sweet. You can see the chefs whipping up the wok for the freshly cooked chow mein. I thought it was weird I wasn't given a napkin. When I went up to pay I asked for a napkin and was told that they don't have any. Will not be returning cause that's just weird to have a restaurant serving food without napkins/paper towels. read more

Am I missing something with this place? The food we had could have been better. We got three dishes - the satay (beef and chicken) and sweet and sour pork. The beef satay was the better of the dishes, but it was heavily salted. The chicken had no flavor and had a gummy texture. There are also no sauces for these (and I realize calling it 'satay' for a Chinese place isn't quite right, but that's basically what they are). The sweet and sour pork was the most disappointing. The sauce is good, but here's the weirdest thing - they serve the pork with the sauce on the side. They don't even bother to coat it. Now, I could see this if your food is take out or door dashed, but I ate inside the restaurant. The pork inside really tasted off. I got the impression that the meat was previously frozen. It tasted just like that. The service was good, though. We were waited on promptly, but we were the only ones there on a Friday night. That should have been the warning sign. The best part of the meal was the pre-packaged fortune cookie. read more

I've been a local here for a long time, there's been 3 different chinese restaurants at this particular location since i've been around. This new group is by far the best of the 3, they remodeled and cleaned everything and while the space is quite small and doesn't really support dining in for more than a few groups, they are quick and convenient for takeout. I've tried numerous dishes, my personal favorite is their mongolian beef or chicken. They also do a fantastic lunch special that's priced very fairly. I've been coming very regularly, and unless something drastic changes i most likely will continue to do so. My compliments to the chefs read more

Went here for lunch for the first time and was very impressed at the quality and value. Chicken and green beans were fresh and delicious. Will come back. Thank you for great lunch! read more

What a waste of $60... Everything is greasy and bland. Crab rangoons are made with a weird, thick dough. Potstickers are greasy and the sauce is worthless. House fried rice is bland without soaking it in soy sauce. Chicken with string beans tastes like they used no seasoning. This was my second time ordering, as I wanted to give them another chance. Well, they don't get a third. Do not recommend. read more

Delicious food and huge portions. The interior is simple and kind of small, but the food is amazing. We'll definitely go back.

I love Chinese food, but haven't found a restaurant in the area that measured up to my expectations. New Peking seems like it will. I tried 3 dishes and all were excellent - chicken chow mein, honey walnut shrimp (my favorite), and vegetarian egg foo young! The flavors were wonderful, portions were generous, and the menu is extensive. Try it, you should like it! read more

Wonderful redo of a little place that is close by. Food is delicious and plentiful. I have had wonderful wings. Shrimp with lobster sauce was very good with about 10 good sized shrimp. Pepper chicken and mongolian chicken were also fresh and excellent. Sean is very nice and helpful. So far This restaurant is a winner and I am not a fan of a lot of dining options in this area. The ethnic Family owned places are my favorite. read more
