    My first meal back from Japan had to be some roasted chicken. Although, I bet the Japanese could make some fire roasted chicken if they put their mind to it. A lot of people in my comments have been talking about Peking BBQ as a potential chicken Titan, so I made the push to Queens to check it out. Right when I walked in, I knew I was in for a treat as the smell of high quality roasted chicken gracing my nostrils is something that is unmistakable. It's as unmistakable as the smell of a quality NY pizza shop. This spot is a cash only chinese peruvian restaurant that is the definition of no frills. Not a single frill in here. It's straight barebones which I've come to know is a crucial ingredient to ELITE roasted chicken. I got the 1/2 chicken with a side of pork fried rice, and an order of maduros all for under $20. This chicken was as advertised. Crispy golden skin, with the meat being juicy and tender, almost falling off the bone. The perfect contrast. Not Casa Adela level tenderness, but when paired with the green sauce it's tough to beat. I'm tryna drown in that Peruvian green sauce. These maduros were DANCING like an iced out rollie. They were caramelized golden brown with a slightly crisp outside, and a soft interior. Some of the best maduros I've had. I'm slapping a 9.5 on it, which ties it with caravan chicken for #2 on my nyc roasted chicken list. Authors note here, but I'm curious as to the reasoning behind the Chinese Peruvian restaurants. I've seen a few different ones in NYC now so there must be some historical reason for this. I would do a deep dive on google, but I gotta clock into my 9-5 rn. THANK YOU PEKING BBQ!

    3 piece ribs and 1/4 chicken over fried rice. One rib missing since I had to have one right away before driving

    Always a good meal. Juicy, tender ribs and chicken. Pretty fast service for lunch time. Remember, cash only.

    You don't come here for the shiny fancy interior, or the best service. You come just for the food. Great price for what you got. I always order to go, just walk past the pick up window, where everyone standing, to small window before the seating area, where people line up to order. Cash only, and they will give you receipt/ ticket to pick up. And wait for your number to be called. Chicken can sometimes a tad salty, but packed with flavor. My favorite thing to get is their chicken fried rice, way better than pork fried rice . Looks like they pre made the pork version, which is understandable cause it goes in every combo, but it just became drier. Woodside staple, would definitely come back

    Tried Chinese Peruvian cuisine for the first time at Peking BBQ and wow, it was so good. A friend recommended it and now I get why it's clearly a local favorite. There was already a line forming for their Chinese Peruvian rotisserie chicken. Heads up, it's cash only. They do have the usual American Chinese takeout items, but the Chinese Peruvian dishes are what make this spot stand out. My favorite was the Aguadito, a Peruvian chicken and cilantro soup that was super savory and comforting. I'm a soup girl no matter the weather and this one really hit the spot. The rotisserie chicken was juicy and flavorful, and the skin was perfectly crispy. We also got the spare ribs, which were tender and had a nice chew to them. The green Peruvian sauce was the real MVP though I dipped everything in it. It's creamy, slightly spicy, and just so good. Also I loved the yuca fries. They had that crispy outside and chewy potato center. Super worth the price and I'd honestly come back just for the soup, chicken, and that sauce.

    Their ribs and chicken are delicious! And the portions are huge. I heard about them from Action Bronson's and finally got the chance to check them out. They are cash only. There were a lot of people waiting for their orders, so it took about 20 mins for mine to be done. There is an inside area with a couple places to sit, but I took my food to go. Highly recommend checking this place out!

    Come for the Food, Not the Decor Pekin BBQ on Woodside Ave serves delicious, hearty Chinese BBQ at great prices. I usually order the 1/4 Chicken with Fried Rice juicy, flavorful, and packed with veggies. The ribs are rich, fatty, and full of flavor definitely a highlight. The portions are huge and always satisfying. That said, the interior leaves a lot to be desired. It looks outdated, a bit dirty, and the bathrooms could definitely use a deep clean. The owners should consider upgrading the dining space it would make a big difference. Still, you don't come here for the ambiance you come for the food, and the food truly trumps the look and feel of the place.

    I really need to explore Woodside more. How have I passed up Peking BBQ for so long? Sometimes you need your local Peruvian/Chinese eatery for a meal to hit the spot. Woodside is lucky enough to have Peking BBQ. This no frills, CASH ONLY, spot is worth every penny you scrounged up from the cup holder in your car. And while the menu looked amazing, it was a bit overwhelming. So much to choose from ranging from ribs and rotisserie chicken to lo mein and fried yucca. What do you choose?! The decision was made to go pretty straight forward with a #1. This had pork fried rice and 2 pieces of chicken. Picky with the type of chicken you eat (i.e dark/white meat, breast of drumstick)? Note there will be an up charge with your request. I'm not at all mad about this because I'm from the camp of "you get what you get and you don't get upset". Two nice sizes pieces of delicious, rotisserie chicken sat on a bed of super tasty pork fried rice. The kicker is their green sauce. Again, you're gonna be charged if you want extra. WORTH EVERY PENNY! We cut the heat with some sweet plantains. I wish they would have been a bit on the sweeter side, but all in all very good and made fresh. Ordering, is a breeze and service was quick. Great hidden gem in Woodside. Next time, I'm coming for the ribs!

    Almost didn't want to review this place so no one finds out about it! Classic hidden gem in Queens for Chinese / Peruvian fusion. I don't think I've ever had better ribs than here. Been coming for over 20 years and it's just as good as it's ever been. Come hungry!

    This is for all the people who love Peruvian chicken...and if you don't like Peruvian chicken, you will love it once you try this place. My wife and I have been buying Peruvian rotisserie chicken from this place for probably more than 15 years. Even though years ago we have moved far from this area, we still take the 40-60 minute drive just to buy our favorite chicken here. What really makes the rotisserie chicken special is the matching unique and incomparable Peruvian green sauce that they have. I have already tried so many Green sauces and Peruvian places, but the spicy Peruvian green sauce in this special joint is unparalleled. If you don't believe me, you just have to try it yourself.

    Yummy peruvian rotisserie chicken and beef w broccoli. I was actually more blown away by the beef broccoli flavor than the chicken w green sauce. I was bummed they didn't have fried bananas, but the yuca was tasty. The staffs were kind and the wait wasnt too long. The green sauce was fresh and herb and not spicy. Perfect for friends who aren't able to tolerate spicy food. The spare ribs were juicy and flavorful!! Overall, a bit expensive. This order was $50 ish. We shared among 4, it was plenty enough.

    I'm not sure why it took me so long to check this place out. Perhaps it was because the place is always bustling and there seems to be an endless line of people waiting to order. Having finally tried their famous chicken, I can say it was definitely worth the wait (and the line moves very quickly). My husband and I ordered a whole chicken and five piece ribs, because we knew we would want leftovers. The ribs were decent, but the chicken is clearly the star. It's so juicy and well seasoned, and the skin is perfectly browned and flavorful. The portions are very generous as well. I can see why this place attracts so many regulars and is such a neighborhood gem.

    First time here and they did not disappoint. The dry pot was amazing. Large portion sizes…read more Definitely over-ordered but will make for get leftovers. We ordered the dan dan noodles for an appetizer, chewy noodles and good flavor. Then we had the custom dry pot (we put chicken, tofu, Napa and Choy medium spicy) that came out tasty and fast. And finally we ordered the crispy fish which was HUGE but crunchy and flavorful - definitely more food than we expected but it's okay! Servers were friendly and even though there was an error in our order they were quick and ways to fix. The restaurant is small and hole in the wall, feels authentic. AC wasn't on so a little warm with all this spicy food but overall will definitely come back with friends and family.

    A forgettable lunch I had here. It's not terribly bad but I can name a couple other Chinese…read morerestaurants I've had a better experience in. The restaurant is a few blocks from the main street of Steinway so it'll take a bit of searching. Going inside, the area is rather abstract. Pink flower wallpaper on one end and dry wall on the other, it's kinda off-putting but I didn't come here for the atmosphere anyway. Service was lukewarm, I got my order in but the two workers inside weren't too receptive and the menu itself is kinda barebones with most of their food being a bit more than I would like to pay for so I just settled on one order of Singapore Mei Fun. After waiting 10 minutes for my food to arrive, the Singapore noodles which are usually spicy were kinda salty but it was nothing a bit of duck sauce wouldn't fix. This one order cost $17 while not the worst Singapore Mei Fun...well technically it is, even though it's not horrible but I've had much better from other places for a stable price of $12. Yeah, a rather disappointing visit. Not the worst I've ever had but could be so much better.

We went a second time because our first experience was so good that we wanted to try their other dishes, and now after the second time, we can't wait to return for a third. We definitely need to return with a bigger group the next time we go so that we can try more of their dishes! Our second time there, we had the "Night Market Chow Fun" and the "Chongqing Braised Beef." Both were excellent! Probably my favorite Chow fun now and the Chongqing braised beef was so tender and had all the szechuan tingly spices that open up your taste buds and sensories. We LOVED both dishes. It had the 3 chili pepper sign and the server warned us that it was very spicy, and IT WAS -- in all the good ways. May not be for the faint, though, so be careful. Not sure if they can adjust the spiciness. We enjoy their "film set" ambiance, giving it a cooler dining experience than your normal authentic casual space -- adds some flare for a date night or for friends. MUST RETURN FOR MORE!
