Tried something new again at the restaurant and it was their veggie pad thai. I would most certainly get this again. I had this with a large carafe of hot sake. The pad Thai can be made gluten free for anyone with a gluten intolerance. read more

I cannot reccomend this place enough. I have had food from there four times and three times in the past couple months as it is my father's favorite restaurant. Our favorites are the Orange and Lemon Chicken but everything we have had is great. They have a Thai menu too. The staff is friendly and service is quick. The ambiance is nice too with ample seating and a bar. read more

I believe this business to be under new ownership. The menu has been changed and new items are on the menu. When ordering I have ordered in the past pepper steak with lo mein noodle. When I asked for it this time I was told very tersely by the sole waitress that I was not allowed to do that no change. read more

I was a little leery of this because of the middling reviews, but most of them seem pretty old. I had some extra time, so I figured I'd check it out. And I am happy I did. The service was excellent from a couple of people. They were maybe half full at 1 on a weekday. The menu isn't huge, but covers all the basics, and has a pretty big lunch selection. I went with the beef string bean, marked spicy, and actually containing a bit of heat in the back but nothing overwhelming. Lots of tender beef, a savory sauce. Lots of green beans, so perhaps a bit healthy. Very average fried rice with it. Your choice of rice. And the eggroll was good, but not amazing. Still, very good entrée, pretty good eggroll, excellent service, decent prices. The place was comfy inside: a bit modern, but still feeling like an old-school Chinese-American place. Plenty of parking, easy access, although Livingston can get crazy at peak times. I will definitely be back. read more

I have never dined in. Takeout is always ready on time less than 20 minutes after order. Food does not disappoint. Steamed wontons and moo shoo pork is my go to order. read more

We love this chinese restaurant. After our last favorite place closed, we have tried a few different ones and were not good. Then we tried Peking Dynasty on Livingston and was pleasantly surprised. The Staff is always super nice. The spicy tofu and green beans is amazing as well as their Hot & Sour soup and Wonton soup. I would highly recommend this restaurant!! read more

Everything that I ordered was good. I got the chicken and string beans, a vegetable egg roll and vegetable soup. Most Chinese restaurants don't include sweet and sour sauce for the egg rolls anymore so I appreciate that it still comes with the egg roll here. It was a good egg roll, tastes like they make them in house. The soup was very good and full of lots of vegetables. The chicken and string beans were nice and spicy, which is the way I like it. I have noticed it's not always spicy depending on where it's ordered from. Overall, a great lunch and I will be back to try other menu items. read more

Decided to give this place a try for the first time. I had hot and sour soup, hot pepper shrimp, and shrimp egg fu yung. Everything was delicious. They gave huge portions. The atmosphere is beautiful and inviting. And the service was great. The only thing that was lacking was that the hot pepper shrimp wasn't deep fried like I expected, but the flavor didn't lack and it was very delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone interested. read more

Probably one of the worst Asian meals we've had. Ordered vegetable fried rice, sesame chicken and a tofu dish. Both the chicken and tofu dishes were dry with practically no sauce. No real intense flavor as expected. While the tofu was ordered spicy, it was almost flavorless. Service was ok and restaurant was clean and well maintained. The food was just sub par. read more

Late nite dinner after the opera. Quiet and welcoming atmosphere with a few people still sitting after dinner enjoying their dinner companions. Kinda like the show Cheers. Had Lychee martini. Snapper lightly fried with Peking sauce and broccoli. All was good. read more

Peking Dynasty Express - Take out- General Tsao's/Sesame Tofu* with veggies and sauce on the side (the actual portions are much bigger than depicted) - Chinese Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Way better than you'd expect for the location/price. I tried a kung pao style dish late at night when the location was seemingly close to closing, and the quality I received was absolutely fantastic (and waaaay better than expected). The service is also speedy and friendly - you can tell that the folks that work here really try hard. The prices are ridiculously low, too. read more

We have visited Peking many times and yesterday saw they had a new menu with quite a few new food items. I had the Thai chicken soup and it was really good. I find their prices a little on the higher end so with a cocktail or 2, it's not an inexpensive visit. I believe they try to be a step upscale. The service is good, always friendly and the food is served timely. I will keep coming back. read more

Haven't had Peking Dynasty in quite some time but glad we tried it again. We got steamed potstickers that were average. Really good vegetable lo mein, very traditional flavor. Loved the twice cooked pork, made spicy. Loved the Szechuan chicken, made extra spicy with extra vegetables (up charge for this). Overall, fast and very good flavors. We will be back read more

Great atmosphere and service. Yet the highlight was the food. Best egg fu yung ever. The pork was incredibly tender. The sauce was not the typical brown sauce, it was golden and delicious. I will come here again next time I'm in town. read more

Dinner was amazing! Had the egg drop soup and shared the orange chicken! Also a bottle of plum wine! Service excellent and price reasonable! Will be back to try their sushi selection soon! Went back and ordered from sushi menu. Very fresh and delicious! Went on Xmas day for lunch. Service was speedy and food was tasty. We got there shortly after noon and place was getting crowded. read more

Peking Dynasty Express - Kung pow shrimp - Chinese Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

This restaurant is okay at best. The inside is beautifully decorated and the alcoholic drinks are surprisingly very good, but the food is lacking a lot. The rice is bland. It taste like white rice with added soy sauce and no seasoning. The fried meat is consistency drenched in sauce, which makes the meal soft and soggy. My theory is that that fry to much meat in the beginning of the day and then try to heat it up by adding lots of sauce in a hot pan. The crispy duck is okay, but is overcooked and a bit dry.....but the flavor is nice. I would like to see if the quality changes at lunch time. My suggestion: Stay away from the food altogether and only come in for the drinks. If you must eat order an egg roll .......or maybe the duck (TBD on the duck). read more

I have just moved to this area 5 months ago. I wanted some Chinese food and this place was right down the road from where I am staying. Of all the food and soup I've had here it's been delicious. I shouldn't compare but from where I moved from I must have gotten spoiled from the Chinese restaurant I had frequented for years. The portions here were not at all like what I got at my former place and the prices are so much higher for what you get. Weather you dine in or have carry out the portions to me aren't worth the money. I'm not a cheapskate but I want what I pay for and not small portions for a big price. read more

Great service, nice pours on drinks, pretty good food! No longer serve sushi though. Great neighborhood spot!

Peking Dynasty Express is better than average. It's certainly better than you would expect to find in that kind of neighborhood. This is related to the one on 5th Avenue that looks like it's not even open. It also has a bar. The wait for the food isn't long either. I had the tofu with vegetables. It's about $9 for the lunch portion. This is plenty enough so get this size. It was only a few minutes to get it. This was hot and the tofu was crunchy without being too crispy which my preferred way. It doesn't have as big of a menu as the other location but the food was better. The service was fast while also friendly. It may not look like much but Peking Dynasty Express is competent Chinese. It has a bar so you can drink while you wait for your food. The food usually isn't that much of a wait. read more

Peking Dynasty Express - Tofu With Vegetables - Chinese Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

i understand raising prices i don't like it but i get it but does that mean the quality of the food should go down ? i always ordered orange beef it was melt in your mouth absolutely delicious today it was like shoe leather hard to cut and hard to chew obviously a cheaper cut of meat couldn't be eaten the wonton soup was horrible taste bad and had a bunch of stuff i've never seen in wonton soup the spring roll was fantastic for 23 dollars i feel i was robbed and this was lunch done with this place just not worth it read more

I knew something was up as soon as I pulled in the parking lot. This was one of my favorite restaurants. They open at 1100. I pulled up at 1230 and the parking lot was completely empty. Where is the lunch crowd? I went inside and the restaurant was completely empty. I sat down and decided to google this restaurant. They have failed their last health inspection with a score of 72. There were 19 violations including roaches. I will not be going back. They still charged me $2.50 for a drink I did not touch. read more

This is our go to Chinese restaurant when we are in columbus. Nice menu, excellent food, accurate pick up orders.

Delicious, most friendly servers and the food came fast. I enjoyed the space to chat, it was quiet while we waited for our food.

Good food at reasonable prices. Service is fast. Fun house cocktails. Had the Szechuan chicken. It was as flavorful perfectly cooked.

This place had great reviews! I didn't realize it wasn't in the greatest neighborhood! Service was very good and they let me pay ahead of time to make sure my card was working! The soup was amazing and very hot! Which I really like! I had the garlic beef and it had big chunks of fresh onions and celery in it! And the rice had egg in it which was great! The egg roll was my only complaint as it tasted frozen and was not very good...But my meal didn't need it ! Overall very good and will return and it was great authentic Chinese food...And not horribly expensive for dinner! read more

Older restaurant, kinda plain looking and it's showing it's age. It's more run down than cool retro, but it's not bad. I stopped in here after visiting the Schumacher Gallery @ Capital University. Service was pretty quick in a "Hey guy, what do you want?" kind of way. Hot and Sour Soup was pretty decent with a little emphasis on white pepper. Kung Pao Shrimp, ordered spicy, actually was pretty spicy and had a good flavor. It was heavy on the celery and not the best I've had but it was certainly not the worst either. Portion size was on the smaller end for dinner so it's an OK value but not a great value for what you get. It's a decent but not great restaurant that's a pretty solid three star experience. read more

They never mess up our carry out. Never. That's rarer than you might think. Plus, very authentic, good food.

Pretty solid food! Ordered a few time and the food seems very consistent. I've even ordered for a few Christmas' and even with having a high volume of orders coming in food was fresh, hot, and order accurate. Nice menu selection that feels like they use better quality ingredients. Awesome eggroll, and quite a few things that aren't on your typical Chinese menu read more

I'm a Capital U grad, so this was my Chinese spot for 4 years - plus another year that I still lived in Bexley. As a college kid, it's great. It's quick, cheap and delicious - at times. I say at times because eating here over the last 3 years, when I've been in the area, has been like Russian Roulette. One experience I'm ready to leave 5 stars, and the next the chicken is mushy and under-cooked and the service is poor. So I've settled on 3 stars because the food, restaurant and service is just A-OK. Some pointers - order any fried meats extra crispy. Otherwise, anticipate an unappetizing chewy texture. Also, overly state your order. I prefer steamed rice, instead of fried, but still seem to get fried rice by accident 70% of the time. The neighborhood and outside of the restaurant might scare you away, but give the inside a chance. It's kept extremely clean and is very nice for dining in. They also have a 'party room' that's great for larger groups. My fraternity, during my time at Capital, would come in with 20+ guys and it would work out perfectly. read more

The taste of the food was fantastic, however the texture of the chicken was very chewy and quite stringy. Other than that it was great for the price. They get your food ready super fast, ive sat in the wendy's drive through across the street longer than I waited here read more

Pretty tasting. Not omg but fast food good Chinese it's better than ding ho. Great egg rolls, fast service, if there's an issue with something they will call you back and tell you about it and make it right. read more

I recently have visited for the first time and ate here again two weeks later. The food is quite good, served fast and hot, just what you'd expect. The staff is polite and attentive and I have nothing negative to say. Lunch combos are affordable and it's more convenient even than a drive thru if you are in this area. Definitely will be trying different dishes there but orange chicken and pepper steak are delicious. Also, I went in this week and they just had a clean health inspection according to the health department sticker so that makes you feel comfortable and safe. read more

Used to have good food now it's average at best places dirty you needed to fly swatter to eat your food the waitress was terrible would not recommend going there and would not go back again read more

My favorite Chinese food in town. I've been going here since college and the food has only gotten better over the years. The restaurant has been well appointed over the years and is always clean. We often do carry-out and the food is always ready quickly, fresh and hot. The sushi menu is pretty extensive and I've never been disappointed. The almond roll is great, crunchy and sweet. The fish or seafood is fresh and always has a good texture. You can sit at the bar and watch your rolls get made to order. They have great vegetarian options as well. I'm fond of the tofu pad Thai, I order that 95% percent of the time. The sauce is delicious, just spicy enough and very rich. The tofu is perfectly sautéed. Vegetables are always crisp and it even comes with fresh ground peanuts. The noodles are firm, not overcooked and mushy. When dining in the service is great, the staff is always welcome and friendly. Also, the bar is impressively stocked. Their lunch deal really can't be beat as well. We've been coming here for years and I don't think that'll end anytime soon. read more

I'm in the mood for sushi and i run up on this joint so why not give it a try. When i first walked in and sat down i say to myself......this place is kinda dark but cozy. My type of spot but I'm rollin solo....the wife is not with me. It's a lil weird sittin there on a date by myself so i tell em to pack this stuff up, this is now takeout. Anyway i got some crazy lookin sushi and it was pretty good but it had cream cheese in it and I don't like cream cheese. I didn't read what was in it before I ordered so that's on me. After I discarded the cream cheese it was really good. Also i ordered some bbq ribs that were good also. PDE is definitely a date nite situation so I'm goin to bring the wife back and let the good times roll. read more

We wanted take out Chinese food for dinner one night and our usual spot I believe closed. So we thought we would check out Peking Dynasty. They took our order over the phone and seemed to understand what we were ordering. We were quoted 30 min for the food to be done. They must have been busy that night. So I waited a little while to leave before going to pick it up. When I arrived the food was bagged up and ready. I was the only customer in the restaurant so I felt safe. I paid and went home. Sadly when I started unpacking the food at home I realized they got our order wrong. My fiancé is allergic to eggs and they gave him fried rice which has egg in it. I felt so bad that I had not checked it prior to leaving the restaurant, but during this pandemic, I always just want to get in and get out as quickly as possible. They also gave me a larger order of rice than what I had ordered. Which turns out was of course more expensive. The food was good, but overall I was bummed to have been charged more and have the order be wrong. read more
