Excellent little mom and pop Chinese restaurant. Chicken is white meat - it is some of the best I've had! Delicious! Crab Rangoon is good if you like the strong crab flavor. I wish they had some just cream cheese. The sweet and sour was sweet and tangy, and really good. There were not many choice for kids meal, and no American choices. I was concerned, but we got the sweet and sour chicken and called them nuggets. it worked just fine. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

The servant threatened me that she will call the police when I want to use ApplePay to pay for it. They can be trained more and get more education and know how to learn new things and respect customers. And right now I began have loose bowels...it's my first time to dine here also the last time. read more

This place is a hidden bomb, one of the best ever. We fulfilled our craving for Chinese food and landed here by chance. Hostess/server Lyn was most gracious and saw to our every need. Although there were few in-house diners, Lyn said there are many take-outs many of which we witnessed. Nicely appointed dining area and no delay in service. Lyn said they have been in business there for 34 yrs. Excellent! . read more

Very solid place for a town in Nebraska of 4500-ish people. The female owner has a delightful sense of humor and truly seems to enjoy serving her customers. Food is prepared the right way--my kung pao chicken didn't have a ton of chopped celery in it or other vegetables. It was pretty much chicken, onions, scallion, and peanuts, which it should be. There was also some water chestnuts mixed in--that was slightly disappointing. Egg rolls were hot and crispy and were sided with a delightful sweet and sour sauce. Something that I can't quite put my finger on makes it stand out. The hot mustard was a little thinner than most, but that's not a bad thing. It had kick to it that made it stand out. I dropped $12 on hot and sour soup, egg rolls, and an entree. That's not terrible, considering the limited options in the area. I look forward to stopping in again next time I'm driving back to Iowa. If you're passing through, do yourself a favor and stop. Its right over the bridge in town. read more

Peking Chinese Restaurant - Kung pao chicken-made the right way! - Chinese Near Me - Ogallala, Nebraska

Best Chinese in town. Lot more flavor than other places in town. They need egg foo young on the menu.

The food was... Ok. Although the restaurant is ran by Chinese, the food wasn't authentic at all. I was pretty dissatisfied after eating. The amount of the food wasn't that generous either, and the waitress was constantly asking if I wanted to add anymore food, which was really annoying. Overall, not a great experience. read more

We went to Ogallala for a Rootbeer float, and decided we wanted Chinese food. What a surprise. Totally worth the hour drive for great foo!

Stopped by, we've been craving some chinese food. Reviews looked good, so why not. Welcomed and seated right away by a very nice woman. Prices are great, food is good. A little salty for our taste, but that didn't keep us from eating. Waitress/owner would come by with little jokes. We enjoyed ourselves. Would most likely eat here again if we are passing through. read more

Ling (the owner) is the sweetest little thing ever! She remembers my kids' names after our first visit there. Her and her husband own this restaurant, and we eat here every single time we pass Ogallala. It is the best Chinese food I've ever had. Crab rangoons, hot and sour soup & beef lo mein. A must try!! read more

The dragon chicken and curry chicken were simply tasty and satisfying. Hot & sour soup was okay though. It's 34 yr old family owned business. The exceptional dish was fried rice. Thank you for warm hospitality and good service. read more

Some absolutely amazing food, very clean restaurant. What an amazing find in Nebraska as we were driving through. I can't compliment them enough. Do Try. We are snobs about Food and this would be as good as anything in any major city. read more

Delicious food, a little different spice than a lot of Chinese food restaurants. Their hot and sour soup is awesome.

I order from phone, spoke with a nice Chinese lady and got there in 5 min. My food was ready for me! Taste was good and my belly is happy ;)

The food is decent, especially for its location in a small farming community. The only thing I wouldn't recommend are the veggie spring rolls. We ordered two dishes - spicy tofu with vegetables and vegetable fried rice. The former was quite tasty. read more

Great Food, Homemade Crab Rangoon . Wonderful owners been around 38+years! Need a break from I80 interstate.. Stop by they will take care of you! read more

Driving through Nebraska and needed to find a place for takeout dinner. Decided to try this place and didn't disappoint. Ordered while still on the highway and the food was ready when we got there. The Chinese food was very good for a small town in Nebraska. The only complaint is the hot and sour soup was very salty. We did not dine in so we cannot comment on the service. The place is small and the decor is a bit dated but the owner is very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended if you need to stop along the highway to get some good Chinese food. read more

This is the kind of restaurant that you're lucky to find on a cross-country trip. We had rented a room in Paxton, NE, about twenty miles east and quickly realized the only place to eat was a steak restaurant with what seemed to be an impressive or disturbing display of taxidermy's miracles. So, we drove to Ogallala to Peking Chinese Restaurant. Ogallala is a neat little down, definitely reminiscent of smaller villages in the Northeast and a massive rail depot running through the middle. The town has a neat history which increases the charm of the small downtown area. Peking Chinese Restaurant sits over the bridge in the small downtown area. If you call about times, the owner will possibly say "8:30" but the sign says "9:00." I overheard the owner saying later to a customer that they say 8:30 to discourage last minute stragglers from coming in. So don't be one of those. It's not a buffet restaurant, but the menu was extensive without being overwhelming. I had ordered vegetables (awful road trip heart burn) and my partner ordered a happy family. Each was coated with a salty/sour sauce that was pretty satisfying and the dish sizes were big ENOUGH. We left feeling pretty good about the order. The owners are funny. They talk to their customers and you can overhear some good conversations concerning town gossip and local characters. Also, they seemed pretty open to having those same friendly conversations with travelers. Tip: It's close to the border of the Mountain/Central Time Zones but it is in the Mountain Time Zone. It seemed like our phones switched over a little early or something, so we were sort of confused about the time. read more

Fantastic experience! We had been here last year on a road trip to Colorado and loved it so much we planned our trip this year to make another stop here in Ogallala, just for the Chinese! The spring rolls were flaky and perfectly crispy on the outside. The hot, creamy vegetables on the inside tasted delicious with the sweet and sour sauce. The orange chicken was the highlight of the meal. Fresh, tender chunks of chicken breaded with a crispy outside and flavored with spicy and sweet orange sauce. The service was amazing, she kept the hot tea flowing and was a humorous hostess! The chef himself made a trip out to our table to make sure everything was great. If you're ever near Ogallala, plan a quick stop here to experience this life changing Chinese food! read more

After reading the reviews, thought it was worth a shot. Roadtrip across the midwest, thought it was a reasonable option for a dinner stop. Wow - were we ever wrong. Food was almost inedible - and that means EVERYTHING. Soup had a vague flavor of dishsoap, eggrolls were mushy. Poor, grumpy service and horrible communication (wanted to have a modification to an order and if they said, no.....ok....but they didn't and then didn't do what I asked). Seriously, McDonalds would have been a better option. (and in fact, did have to make a McD stop further down the road to make-up for what we could not eat here). I have no idea how the Yelp rating can be what it is. Caveat emptor! read more

Nice Chinese food place for some good eats. Everything we ordered was fabulous. Looks like a husband and wife own and run it- very nice and good service. You won't be disappointed eating here! read more

My boyfriend and I used to go to the other Chinese restaurant in Ogallala, but one day they were closed so we decided to try out the Peking. We never looked back. We have a few favorites but we always seem to order either the chicken lo mein or the orange chicken. Awesome every time. The orange chicken even has little dried pieces of orange peel that makes the dish truly delicious. Definitely not your generic Chinese restaurant. Ling and her husband Tir have owned this restaurant for 30 years now and they are quite inspiring. Also, as many have said, Ling can usually remember everyone and what they like to order. read more

Great Chinese food, best wonton soup, the broth was just perfect! I will stop here next time I am driving back to the Bay Area from the east coast. Our server/owner was hilarious, and made us feel at home in her quaint, middle of nowhere Chinese restaurant that is worth the mile drive off hwy 80 to find! read more

Mu shu pork and black mushrooms with veggie, both excellent. Authentic, friendly, reasonably priced. Open 28 years. We will stop here again on cross country trips! Great meal! read more

Best Chinese I've had in a long time. We just stumbled upon it. Highly recommended

It's amazing how easily the mouth can tell the difference between food that was freshly prepared from scratch versus prepacked ingredients. This place is fresh - and incredibly flavorful. The decor is unassuming, which is common for Nebraska, but the food is amazing. I will definitely stop back here again when rolling through Ogalalla. read more

Peking Chinese Restaurant - Restaurant interior. - Chinese Near Me - Ogallala, Nebraska

Coming from a San Diegan and partial San Francisco resident, this place was pretty good. Who knew?

My mom and I were passing through and needed a bite to eat. This is by far the best Chinese food I have ever had. I 100% recommend. Was fast and delicious and service was awesome. read more

What a welcome treat to stop at Ling & Tir's Peking Chinese Restaurant! The service is impeccable and so welcoming. Food is fresh and tasty; such a welcome stop on our journey! They have been in business 34 years.....that tight there says a lot! read more

Peking Chinese Restaurant - tables with red and white checkered tablecloths - Chinese Near Me - Ogallala, Nebraska

Excellent food. The best Kung Po dish we've ever had. The chicken fried rice was in top three. Loved that they had pees and carrots in it! The wait was a bit long for getting drinks/order in and paying at end. That's the reason for the downgrade since we still had a long drive ahead of us! Also the lady and man (owners?) were hilarious. The lady would say things that a sensitive person would probably cry over but I found it refreshing she wasn't afraid to speak her mind and you knew it was all in good fun. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in the area! read more

Very, very delicious! Food was hot, fast and tasty, and the service was outstanding. Price was right, too. I'd go again in a heartbeat

Amazed by the positive reviews. Maybe I ordered the one based dish. Human chicken was a plate of soggy mush with little chicken present. Teamed up with dry rice made for a hopefully forgettable meal. Would have done better as Walmart read more

This place is awesome, and is owned by a super cute Chinese couple. They are both extremely charming and serve good, authentic food. The story behind their restaurant is unbelievable-- make sure to take a look at their newspaper clippings by the bathroom while you're in. read more

I know. I know what you're thinking. I was thinking it too. How can this random place on a tiny town in the Midwest have food as good as everyone says? Well, I went out on a limb and I'm glad I did. It is excellent. A bit about me: I can be a bit of a pain when it comes to food. I'm not picky, but I don't have patience for restaurants that are clearly just being lazy...which is a lot of restaurants. I bounce back and forth between New York and LA for work and I LOVE Chinese food. I can say without hesitation that this restaurant is better than any of the Chinese food I had while I lived in LA. Much better. It's not five stars because I reserve 5 star ratings for mind-blowing life-changing meals but I would stack this food against any takeout Chinese place in New York. Seriously. If you're passing through and hoping for a real meal after days of fast food, as I was, look no further. We had: Egg roll - homemade, I think Wonton Soup - also seemed homemade Kung Po chicken - delicious Steamed chicken with mixed vegetables - my wife was happy with this as well. She got brown sauce on the side. Check it out! read more

Ok food, but horrible service. So I was a little pushy because we were in a hurry and asked for water to go but, wow, I got back an earful. The positive outcome was that I was able to give my daughters a lesson on how being negative, defensive, back talking and stingy would run them out of business if they ever wanted to start one. We felt harassed. I hate to write this because I know they are just trying to make a living but it was not what I hoped for at all after I saw 18 five-star reviews! read more

I love my kung-pao chicken - - - especially when the owner is serving it up with plenty of entertaining smart aleck comments! The generous serving hit the table so quickly it needed a few minutes to cool down. The taste was great. The verbal exchange with the owner was very enlightening and entertaining. read more

Excellent service, delicious food and conveniently right on I80. My family was driving home on a long road trip and this spot was perfect! Our two teenagers liked it so much they ordered a second round of egg drop soup (not because the portions are small, they're good sized, but because they are teenagers and starving 100% of the time but crazy picky eaters). Highly recommend if you're driving through. read more

Eat here. And read the article on the wall about how this delicious Chinese restaurant came to be in this small Nebraska town. The owners met on The Killing Fields in Cambodia. It's an amazing story and a fantastic meal. You won't forget it. read more

We came to fishing in Lake Big Mac from Denver found this restaurant on the way. Hunger for some Chinese food, we did take out, Fried Duck, KungPo Chicken, and Veggie Delux. The flvaor is better than we expected, especially the KungPo chicken. If in Denver, I probably will give it a four star, but in the little town, give it five ;) read more

Great food and great service! I had the sesame chicken and it was delicious. Even the egg rolls were good
