Food was OK, nothing special. Very dark, there were no lights on inside the restaurant. The tables looked nice, but every dish, teapot, and cup stuck to the table. Even the floor felt sticky. The server took our order, never checked on us, and just plopped the bill down and walked away. Not a very welcoming place. read more

The service was terrible the guy who takes your order is very ignorant and rude and has a mean attitude.I would never go to that place ever again. read more

It was two years since my last visit. The owner or manager, whatever he is, is completely crazy. Still the rudest server I have ever seen! We came in to eat about 5:30 pm on a Friday. The place was dead. I don't think they even had a lot of take out orders. Anyway, he reluctantly seated us. Never asked if we needed anything else. I totally expected all of this, because that was his attitude two years ago. What I didn't understand was him trying to rush us out at 6:10pm. Only about 40 minutes there. It took about 20 or so for the food! Anyway he pretty much threw the bill on our table and glared. He ran away before we could request to go boxes. So we just sat there. Next thing you know he turned the lights out on us. We sat in the dark a couple minutes. Never came back to check on us. It was the weirdest experience I ever had in a restaurant. read more

great food and atmosphere the general tap chicken is my all time favorite Everything always comes out nice and fresh. Quick service as well read more

my wife called at 1125 am to place an order and the guy said we don't open until 1130 and hung up. Called again at 1130 place order and said 25 mins , I showed up in 20 minutes and he said I told her 25 minutes not 20. He was very ignorant and the price was unbelievable 18.50 for shrimp and rice. never again. if you want to talk to someone like that you should be a correction officer and not in customer service. food sucked!!!!! read more

I came here with 4 other ppl, and when we walked in, it was totally empty and FREEZING inside. We had to ask for chips and duck sauce. Every other time, we automatically got that when you sit down. The man, I assumed owner/manage took our order. He was the most unpleasant person EVER. Almost everything I asked cost "extra." "Can I get that with no vegetables? "That's extra." "Does it come with rice?" "That's extra. Some of my friends ordered soup. When he brought it, I said that it looked good. Can I get a bowl. He didn't say anything. He just walked away, literally shaking his head and mumbling something! I'm sorry, am I troubling you?? Anyway, the food was okay at best. Wonton soup was very bland. But the service?? I will NEVER be back there again. I can see why the place was totally empty the entire time we were there. If you hate your job that much buddy, hang it up. read more

Ordered won ton soup, shrimp spring rolls, and vegetable lo mein. I have never been so sick in my life. Spend the night in the bathroom. Food has gone downhill since COVID read more

Place said I could not sit down had to stand (I have a broken leg) and I was confused and he told the chief to spit in my food I heard him!!

Whoever is now overseeing this establishment needs management classes in customer service. The young guy is rude. He does nothing to propel this business forward. In my opinion he has damaged the reputation of this business. Having spoken to several previous customers, it appears my experience was commonplace. I have been a 20 plus year customer of Peking Chef. We usually order takeout several times a month. This last order ended my relationship with the business. One of the usual items in the order was chicken and broccoli, very spicy. When I picked up the order, the one ounce condiment cup was missing with the oil and spices. I requested the cup of spices and was told there is an additional charge for it. I explained this condiment always was included with the meal. The manager became irate and said there is now a charge, and you will pay for it from now on. He continued his rage yelling how expensive a one ounce condiment of spices is and began laughing when I told him to keep it, and he lost our business due to his rude and offensive behavior. He was beyond unprofessional. This was the second incident with this manager in three months. Previously, he became angry because I took three cookies instead of two with an order. We placed an order for four people!!! I just want to let potential customers beware that this business no longer shows a genuine interest in satisfying their customers. If this manager's behavior continues, the toxic environment will just get worse. read more

First time there. The food was OK. The manager/punk at the pickup counter was extremely rude both on the phone and in person. Prices were increased 11% from the menu. Tried to ask the punk about this... His response "you want the food or not" NEVER AGAIN read more

Food is ok but service is horrible. The manager is rude and treat's you like you are a major inconvenience. Do yourself a favor and either drive to the Dallas location where you are treated better or find another Chinese restaurant in the area read more

Even though I had horrible customer service the last three times I was here I really like their happy chicken so I gave it another shot. Honestly, you couldn't be made to feel more uncomfortable and a restaurant the service last manager whatever the heck he is is one of the most rude obnoxious people I've ever met. I really can't understand how he keeps his job. He treats people like garbage. He rules his eyes when you're ordering slams food down on the table deep size a few dare to ask for anything else and then up charges everything on the menu. I won't ever be back again. I am usually a 20% tipper if not more this man got not one cent from me today. The place was completely empty. It used to be busy all of the time I'm assuming this man has destroyed this business.. read more

This is hands-down the worst Chinese food I've ever had in my life. They should be ashamed to call this Chinese cuisine. Most of this food isn't suitable for my dog. A piece of advice to the owners. Be proud of who you are, be proud of where you're from. Be proud of your heritage, be proud of your cuisine. You are providing a huge misrepresentation of your culture and Chinese cuisine. Not one person in China would think this is good food. If you actually made good authentic Chinese cuisine you would have much more business. Trying to conform to the North American taste buds is counterproductive, we want AUTHENTIC, real Chinese food. I've personally been to China many times and there are soooooo many amazing and different styles of food. This place is a complete shame. I obviously won't be back. read more

Best Chinese food in town but the owner needs to get a person to work the counter who is more of a people person. The man who is usually there is so unfriendly (even to long-standing loyal customers). We miss Eric and Rosa Lee!! read more

A swing.....and a miss! Unfortunately, the poor execution took away from the great concept. Peking Chef Express was marketed as a "Subway" version of the regular Chinese food joint. The menu is up on the wall behind the counter, prices and all, and the drinks can be found in a cooler near the door. The right call would be to have the customer enter, place their order at the counter, grab a drink from the cooler, and have the food brought to their table (which they choose, no "hostess" needed), on plastic dishes and paper cups. I entered around 1pm on Saturday and walked to the counter to place my order, and was told I needed to get a table. Once I was seated by the hostess, who might be the most confused person this side of an old-folks home, it took at least 10 minutes for the waitress to come over and take my drink order. About 5 minutes later, she returned with a bottle of diet Pepsi from the cooler and walked away again. 5 minutes more, and I had to ask if I could order. The food finally came out about 10 minutes later, with a very, very small portion for an extremely inflated price. Not to mention the food was cold and flavorless. I could've gone to ANY Chinese food place down the street for half the price and better quality, and got exactly what I had expected. This experience was enough to prevent me from returning to this location, and also think twice about giving their parent restaurant in Dallas any more of my business. The entire experience was totally off-putting. Hopefully, they improve upon the service aspect of Peking Chef Express, or they'll be packing everything up and moving it back to Dallas in a month or two. read more

Peking Chef Express - Dining Area - Chinese Near Me - Kingston, Pennsylvania

Rudest guy at the counter in Kingston location. He started yelling that he tried to call me back and I should have answered. I wasn't home. Nice service, huh? Long-time customer, always tip well. Found out why this place is now in the toilet - Mr. Lee no longer owns it. Prices up, food quality down. You should have tried this place when they were in the mall and Mr. Lee was running the show - no one would have EVER spoken to a customer in that way. Haven't been back since, will not return. Well done, Peking Chef. read more

Great tasting late night meal !! We were afraid it wouldn't taste fresh so close to closing ,but we were pleasantly surprised ! We will definitely be ordering from them again . read more

Worst Chinese I've ever had. Food was bland and tasteless. Spring roll looked like it was either cooked in very old oil or left in the fryer too long. The chicken and snow peas and chicken and cashew dishes were both bland. And the general tso tasted more like BBQ chicken than tso. We will never come back. read more

I am the Chinese connoisseur of NEPA and I believe FIRMLY that this is the best Chinese establishment this area has to offer. It's not only authentic, but the quality of food is much better than your standard Chinese restaurant where the only good thing on the menu is General Tso's chicken or sweet and sour chicken... I'm a big fan of their "Happy Chicken" which is a breaded chicken (like sweet and sour), but with a sweet pineapple sauce and walnuts. The servings are not gigantic (sigh...), but I would say it's worth the price of admission. It's definitely more expensive than your generic "Happy Super Buffet World" restaurant, for sure... MY ONLY GRIPE!!! I always get steamed broccoli whenever I order Chinese... it doesn't matter where. Usually I'll pay $6 for a quart of steamed broccoli with no sauce. THIS PLACE CHARGED ME $13. WHAT. HUH? HOW? Never again.... read more

I love the food but I was unable to call in for an order as I was tied up with work. I called an hour and a half early to place my order and they refused to take it, telling me to call back at that time. Not a major thing but there was no attempt to make my order work. Calling in orders early is not a novel concept as I've worked in the food industry in the past. Sure it's a bit more tricky as it needs to be bumped in the cache. But to be treated as an inconvenience for trying to give patronage is not a good trait. read more

The owner / waiter could not have been anymore less interested in serving us. His attitude was almost rude . His negative attitude along with the mediocre food should result in the closing of the restaurant in the near future. The shrimp fried dumplings were mostly dough and were insipid . We ordered iced tea which had a very strange taste. We ordered soft drinks to replace the tea, but we were still charged for the iced tea that was undrinkable. There are too many other choices for Chinese food to bother with this place. Save your money and your palate! read more

We are new to the area and tried Peking Chef for the first time today. Food was very good. Lots of fresh veggies. We picked up and ate at home. Food was still nice and hot. Prices were reasonable and portions were large. The online ordering system was very easy. Will definitely go back again. read more

I find the food to be above average, especially for the area. The customer service however lets them down. I might be expecting a bit much, but I've been hung up on over the phone by them and find them to be a bit rude in person as well. Thankfully their food is good enough that I'll deal with that inconvenience. read more

It used to be the only place to get fresh tasting Chinese, but since a new owner bought the place it's lousy. I would say it is equal or worse than the usual slop served at most take out dumps in the area read more

Horrible rude people. Ordered food through Uber eats. Never got confirmation of delivery. I called Peking Chef to see if my order was ever picked up and the man said that they had no idea about my order that I had to do it through Uber eats. They had to prepare my order! I will never order food from them again. read more

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE get rid of Nolan....he is killing this great business with his very bad manners and unprofessionalism...there is a sweet/professional female who took my order tonight over the phone...I actually thought I called the wrong number...;-) NOW she is what that business desperately needs...kind and professional - she knows exactly how you handle a business...when she answers you will know what I am talking about... you will be pleasantly surprised........................Jay read more

Both Mr. Lee and his wife are most gracious whenever you dine at any of their restaurants, but when he and/or his wife are not at the Kingston location, the older gentleman there is DOWNRIGHT RUDE!! When I called to place an order back in the spring (totalling well over $250, I might add), he was very short with me, not answering "Peking Chef" when I initially called (I had to ask if this was the right number), telling me to hurry up because they were closing, and questioning why I was ordering two days in advance for pickup on MOTHER'S DAY (when I knew all the takout places at the time would be swamped). My family and I have always loved Peking Chef, but I will NEVER eat or take out from there again as a matter of principle. In addition, they also lost an order that day that would have actually been closer to $400, since we learned family from out of town would be joining us. read more

Not good. Been going to Peking Chef for years. For an "express" a few glaring flaws: no lunch menu & too expensive. Menu is the same as the Dallas location's dinner menu. Diners get to choose Regular (roughly $8) or large ($12). Again, no lunch menu. So for lunch I paid $8 for a small portion of General Tso's chicken on a styrofoam plate. The biggest problem was the food. The chicken was rubbery. I asked for "3 out of 4" spiciness. Not only was it not spicy, it was flavorless. Customer service was fine, even if a little confused. I will not be back. read more

I'm a Chinese student studying in the US. Peking chef's dishes remind me of home. The black pepper beef is absolutely the best I've ever had! I'm gonna miss this place so much when I leave for college. The boss is really nice and always send us some new dishes to try. Make sure that you have a look at the new Chinese special menu. They are very original and keep the essence of Chinese traditional food. read more

Whoever answered the phone was very rude. Practically yelled at me cause I didn't understand what he said. So my husband went to pick up our order and didn't notice the sign on the door. Same man proceed to yell at him and asked him if he could not read English. Needles to say we did not take our order home. Then not once but twice this same man called my phone yelling at me for not picking up my order. I explained that I will not support a business that is so rude and ignorant. Then then second call my husband answered and this man went on a rant using profanity. What kind of business is this??? read more

I have been going to this restaurant for many years. The food is real, made fresh and it may be a bit more pricey than other restaurants, but you get what you pay for. I was served my meals always on real dishes, never plastic. The portions are decent, not huge, but I always end up taking mine home for the next day. If you want a really nice experience, and good food, stop here. You will not be disappointed at all. read more

Food is great especially the Ho Ho Chicken and Shrimp with Brown Rice . Loaded with a variety of fresh vegetables and sauce is light and not overpowering. Small feeds two and like all dishes at Peking Chef portions are Large. Steamed dumplings are great we usually get the pork or vegetable filled. Shrimp Spring rolls are always crispy and fresh. We get take out from here about once a month. We have not been disappointed ! read more

I had this particular Chinese place based on co-workers, and definitely a great choice. I had gotten the happy chicken lunch special, which had fried chicken bites ,pineapple and walnuts with a sweet dipping sauce OMG ! so yummmmmmy ! let alone the rice so delicious. read more

Excellent food, I order from here a few times a month because it's on my way home from work. The employees are always incredibly nice and I've never had anything wrong with my order. Food is always ready quickly as well. No complaints whatsoever. read more

I like the food... however, they don't deliver until after 4pm. Honestly I think the only reason eateries in this town stay open longer than a month is the abysmal lack of choices. In a larger market no place would be able to get away with not delivering for lunch. read more
