I've ordered from pretty much every Chinese food place in the area and this is my go-to!! The ingredients are always fresh and the delivery is lightning fast. I'm from NYC, so I love when I can count on quick service. My favorites are the Triple Delight (usually get 2/3 meals out of the dinner combo special), the Orange Beef and Walnut Shrimp. I do really like their ribs, but they are sometimes not all super thick. I still order them though because their prices are also very reasonable. I'm not sure if some of their competitors are losing their minds on too much MSG, as some of them charge almost double for what PEKING EXPRESS does. They also have their own website and you can create an account so that this small business can retain their profits and keep us (as their customer's), costs down. Uber Eats needs to stop gauging everyone - but that's a different topic ;) Enjoy tasty goodness here for sure! read more

Peking Express - Triple Delight (dinner combo portion) I also already ate a decent sized portion and have so much left! - Chinese Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

You got to be out of your mind to charge almost $17 for a $11 portion of food!! THE AUDACITY!!

We found this place about 5 years ago when the super $$$$ other "Peking" place messed up their orders on Christmas Day. The absolute best Chinese food, by far. We have ordered every Christmas Day since, and on other regular occasions, Don't change a thing! read more

If you're looking for a classic American Chinese restaurant then look no further. There are a number of reasons why I'd rate this 5/5. The prices are very fair for the entrees. The portions are quite generous and to-go containers are filled. Every dish I thought was delicious and I ordered a variety of dishes to eat throughout the week. Chicken dishes are the crispy gone soggy texture. I'm not bothered by this. The dishes that weren't sauced had a good crispy texture. The only item I thought was maybe a little lackluster was the rangoons. It's just a folded wonton with cream cheese, but dipped in the sweet and sour sauce... still delicious. The shrimp toast was nice and crispy... a little oily, but overall very little to complain about. The fried rice that you get in the dinner specials I might pass on and just go with the white rice. The chow fun was very good. I'd say this is a must order. Even the following day warmed up the noodles were able to separate and did not stick together like a blob. I've been looking for a long time to find a takeout spot like this and I definitely think I've found it. Sure, the food may not "instagrammable" but who cares? It's delicious. read more

For the price/value for Chinese takeout I think this spot is fantastic. I quite regularly get their combination egg foo young and I highly recommend it. Their whole wings with fried rice and Mambo sauce are a great quick meal. If you want Chinese takeout in the Landmark area this place is a must read more

I think this is one of the best Chinese take out restaurants I have been to for the price and quality! Chinese food has become more expensive these days, but this place manages to give reasonable prices for great food. The sesame chicken is juicy and saucy. My favorite item would be the sesame chicken dinner special because it is such a nice deal. The shrimp with cashew is very saucy and greasy, but that is what makes Chinese food good. If I were to complain about the food, it would be the lo mien and fried rice. The lo mien was too bland, I needed multiple soy sauce packets. The fried rice that came with the dinner special was plain with no vegetables or garnishes. However, it is worth getting it without any upcharge from white rice. read more

I'm confused on the name of this restaurant. The receipts says "Ho Kim" and locals call it "Hos" but the outside name says "Peking Chinese " and the website is under "Peking express".... Idk... But as for the carry out itself, it came up as standard carry out for me. Not too bad But not all that Great either. Let's get into the Good stuff. I love a reasonably priced carry out and Peking was just that. The quantity of the food was very much appreciated aswell. The Mumbo sauce was classic. And I enjoyed the spicy sauce on my shrimp and broccoli. Some things that I didn't enjoy was the Mushy over cooked shrimp. The shrimp were so soft it crumbled like a mashed potato. And that's a no -No... horrible shrimp... The wings had a weird after taste and the meat tasted a little rubbery.. (kinda through me off with that.) The egg rolls were free (they give you 2 free egg rolls with your order which is a PLUS ) but I can tell why it's free. The taste was disappointed (over cooked and flavorless) Lastly the customer service was very dry. We're spending money in your establishment atlease you can greet your guest say hello or thank you when they leave. All in all.... Not a bad place. Very standard City style carry out (to me)... read more

Some of the best Moo Shu pork that I have eaten. The sauce was not too sweet and the veggies and pork had a smoky depth of flavor. The egg roll had a complex flavor too, robust and crispy. All the food we ordered was freshly cooked and tasty. The family who owns the restaurant was very welcoming and hospitable when we chose to eat there instead of doing takeout. We thoroughly enjoyed the food. read more

I ate here for the first time today for lunch. The food looks good tasted ok...then you get home and starting throwing up and shitting like crazy. Do not recommend read more

Best takeout in the area! My family's go to spot definitely a hidden gem. Great portions and prices and consistent every time!

The ribs were dry and practically no meat. 70 % bone. The food is so so. Was just hungry and pining for Chinese food and they're near me.

Ordered food for delivery from Peking Express. We ordered steamed pork dumplings, Pork Lo Mein, Beef Chow Foon, General Tso's Shrimp, and Honey Sesame Shrimp. Their delivery was SOO fast. We received our order 20 minutes before we were expecting it which was great. The pork dumplings are a bit different now than what I had ordered previously. The wrappers are a bit more delicate now. The filling and the dipping sauce still tasted good and I would definitely order it again The General Tso's Shrimp had good flavor. For me, I found that the sauce was too watery and I would have enjoyed if it was a bit thicker. The shrimps were big however didn't have a nice crisp from being fried. The Honey Sesame Shrimp also had good flavors however was missing the crispiness. I am always a fan of their lo mein and their portions are always big so I always have leftovers. For their Beef Chow Foon, i was disappointed as it was pretty bland. I will probably try to recook it with more flavors and seasonings. read more

I ordered a few things: Dumplings Cheese Wontons (crab rangoons) Sesame Shrimp beef and broccoli and pineapple shrimp. All the food was amazing, however they didnt include the cheese wontons in the delivery order. If they included everything we ordered, it would be 5 stars. read more

We're on the search for a new Chinese takeout and gave it a try. Ordered pork dumplings, shrimp toast, egg rolls, wonton soup, chicken lo mein, and a beef w/ broccoli combo. The lo mein was good and though the wontons were a little small, the soup was really good as well. The fried rice in the combo was interesting as it looked pretty plain, but had better flavor than expected. Shrimp toast was also pretty good; decent size, not too greasy. The other stuff was just kind of ok with the egg rolls being something I might not order again. Nothing was bad, just not the same as the kinds of flavors I was shooting for. I will say, the order was FAST. Now I'm close and ordered delivery, but it got to us about 15 minutes before the estimated time, so cheers to that. read more

Love the food! Crispy hot beef was delicious. The crab Rangoon is very tasty and I liked how the sauce came in a container so I didn't have to fight the little plastic bags for 15 minutes. The delivery speed was insane. The fastest delivery I ever experienced in VA. Add to favorites!! read more

If I could leave negative stars, I would. I'm minding my business, eating my lo mein and general tso's and WHAT DO I FIND. METAL. There was metal in my chicken. Not in the noodles, not in the breading of the chicken, it was INSIDE THE MEAT OF THE CHICKEN. This isn't a piece of aluminum foil, this is a HARD SHARD OF METAL. read more

Perfect every time I order! They're also very accommodating! My go to choices are chicken with hot pepper, crispy chicken, and kung pao chicken just to name a few! Delicious ! read more

I have known this place for years. They used to be Ho King and they were terrible, especially at customer service. I guess their reviews went from bad to worse so they rebranded. I don't generally order much Chinese, but once in a while I get craving for it. So I did decide to give them another chance and some of the things I had have been OK, like pepper steak, spring rolls and the wings But ... the my last order was simply awful The most dreadful General Tso chicken I have ever had!!! Dry, clumpy breading and barely any dry tasteless chicken. Simply awful read more

I don't even know where this place is located, but I ordered it because I found it on Yelp and it offered delivery to my new residence. I've never had a bad meal from them, and they are very quick and friendly when they deliver! They are definitely on my regular rotation! I can highly recommend their shrimp egg foo yong! read more

No wonder this place only has 3 stars IT SHOULD ONLY HAVE 1!! I would definitely NOT go to this place ever again!! We had food delivered for lunch and they delivered the wrong soup.. FAILED TO REDELIVER or even REFUND for the nasty ass soup!! They got really ignorant and told us they would only refund for the soup if we brought it in to the business. We told them that we don't have a car to bring it and that the delivery driver should come and pick it up since he's the one that delivered it!! He said that's too bad that we don't have a car EVERYONE in America should have a car!! That was real disrespectful of him!! We used to be regulars of this restaurant before the pandemic!! No wonder why we stopped calling for service!! read more

Peking Express - Supposed to be chicken, corn soup.. that is NOT chicken - Chinese Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

In town for a meeting and found this place. Food was salty and oily without the authentic Chinese taste. Disappointed

BEST Chinese Take Out place in this area... I know because my boyfriend and I order a lot of take out and we've tried every menu that was sent to us and every place within a deliverable radius of us. This is now our go-to Chinese take out place. TOP Dishes: + Fried dumplings - the filling inside is really delicious and the flour skin is not too thin or thick. The sauce they give you is so much better than regular soy sauce. + Wonton Soup - REAL Wontons. Look at the pics attached. I have never found another place that gives you legit chinese wontons with the thin wrapper and lots of meat filling. This place is for realz. Also, for a small, sometimes they give you 3-4 wontons!! (other places give you like 1-2). + Mongolian Beef - suuuuch flavors! Really yummy meat and sauce and lots of onions. + Beef with Peppers & Onions - same as above but in a different sauce. Just as delicious. Hearty portion of meat and veggies. (They only reason they don't get 5 stars is because their General Tso's chicken is not good so we've just stayed away from it.) Their delivery time is fast - last time it was only 30 mins. between me dialing their number and signing the delivery receipt. I didn't even have time to clean off my dinner table before they got there! Super speedy. Great prices too. I always get enough to get the free eggs rolls and sometimes even the next one up. Again, highly recommend. Try their wonton soup! read more

Delivery time is alwayssss faster then estimate and food arrives piping hot. Today I forgot that I paid on my credit card and so when it was delivered, I paid in cash + tip. THANK YOU TO MY DELIVERY GUY for coming back and telling me I paid via card. (Of course I tipped extra in cash) But a HUGE thank you to my delivery driver for telling the truth and coming back with my cash payment. read more

If you are a vegan, and you love Chinese food, please visit this place. I went during lunch time and they had some many vegan options. Also, their lunch specials are great. I had the general tso bean curd with rice. It was so delicious. The customer service was regular, nothing fancy. The food came out pretty fast and the pricing was really decent for the amount of food I received. Go here, you won't regret it. read more

I recently started working in Alexandria, and I'm stoked to find a delicious and CHEAP take out spot for lunch. I always order the Singapore noodles and the Triple Delight as a benchmark in comparing Chinese take out places. Unfortunately, the Singapore noodles dish was a little too salty for my standards, but they got my customized triple delight perfectly. For someone who grew up working in many Chinese take out restaurants and loves it like most people love pizza, this place definitely has my approval! You can't find many find many restaurants that still offers lunch specials for under 7 bucks, especially not in the NoVA area, which includes a spring roll and a choice between fried rice or white rice. Service was quick too, I'm a slow eater and was still able to make it in and out within 30 mins! read more

Best beef and broccoli I have had in a long time. I will definitely order from here again.

This is a pretty decent Chinese restaurant. I love that they deliver but hate the long wait time. The egg rolls are to die for and the sesame chicken is consistently good. I recommend trying the egg drop soup too (especially in the winter). The sweet and sour pork was decent at best. I will definitely be trying more dishes from this restaurant when I'm too lazy to cook! read more

Peking Express - Chicken with Hot Pepper. - Chinese Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

Peking Express, which was once known as Ho King, is a small Chinese carry-out/delivery place off of Van Dorn. They offer a full menu of appetizers, soups, noodle dishes, chicken/beef/pork/vegetarian options, and even some Thai dishes. The hubs and I ordered some late-night Chinese: Hot & Sour Soup (this was for the hubs only; he said it was just okay); Sesame Cold Noodles (the sesame sauce was way too sweet, and there wasn't enough to dress the big amount of noodles); Spicy Tangy Dumplings - Szechuan Style (stuffed with ground pork with a peanut butter dressing and topped with green onions; these were little steamed wontons coated with a sugary sweet peanut dressing - not at all spicy and not at all savory; also, the dumplings were also a little cold); Crab Rangoon (the wontons were more on the chewier end, but they were filled with a lot of the cream cheese/crab mixture; a little less thick and more watered down); Mongolian Beef (which comes with white rice or fried rice (brown rice is an extra charge); this tasted okay, but it was a lot of onions; the sauce could have been more thicker, as there was plenty of liquid at the bottom); and, Chicken Fried Rice (the hubs was a total fan of this - light had a good combination of veggies and strips of chicken). They have a delivery option, but we went to go pick it up. Most of the items seemed to be made to-order. There are a few tables and chairs to eat, but most locals seem to just do carry-out/delivery. Plenty of parking in the plaza lot. +Chicken Fried Rice +convenient online ordering system +most food made to-order +delivery available +plenty of parking in shared plaza lot read more

The dishes I ate were just OK -not great. However, one of the entrees had some sort of stone like slate in it -not sure if it was part of a broken dish or what but it crunched while I ate it and broke into smaller pieces. I did swallow some of it by mistake and initially though it was uncooked rice but immediately spit out the rest and took pics and sent to the owner. I saved it, too. Grubhub made good on refunding my order, however, I was disappointed by the owners response. I understand that things can happen and was totally nice and cool with him on the phone, but he insisted I drive to his restaurant to discuss what happened. I don't have a car and told him he's welcome to send someone to my apartment to retrieve the remainder of the meal and the pieces of stone (or whatever they are). He didn't want to do that or discuss further nor did he offer an apology or refund -I had to call Grubhub for that. Given that I was super polite to him in trying to discuss the seriousness of this, he was just not cool in his reaction... insisting that the pics I sent show something that could not have come from his business. All I can say is that I put that entree in the fridge the day it arrived, having ordered food for multiple days. When I heated it up in the microwave the next day, all I did was remove the clear plastic lid and heat up the black plastic container of food for a couple of minutes. So, how would stones get in there when it was sealed from the time it arrived until the time I removed the plastic lid and heated it up? Again, stones and not plastic. So... I don't wish harm to this business, but they need to be more on top of things and provide better customer service. If it were my business, I wouldn't automatically believe every tom, dick, and harry who said they found stuff in their food. However, I would at least attempt to investigate and not ask someone who doesn't have a car to pay for a round trip taxi to bring the objects in for further discussion. That business is less than a mile from my home. Very disappointing. Hopefully, whatever I swallowed did not cause me harm. I have no idea what happened internally. My main purpose for calling him was to alert him of what happened and to ask if he knew (based on the pics) what it was... to alay my own fears as to what potentially harmful thing I swallowed -getting a refund was secondary to that and I didn't mention it until near the end of our conversation. Anyway... I can't recommend the business based on the food, the customer service, and the fact that someone in the restaurant screwed up and allowed non-food items in my meal. I understand it can happen but it's dangerous and the owner should have cared more. I am telling the truth. read more

We've been ordering from the same Chinese places for awhile now but happened upon Peking through another delivery app. We never considered ordering from them through Yelp because of the low number of reviews (despite them being positive), so shame on us. This is our new go-to for Chinese food! We ordered: Egg rolls Combination fried rice Lemon chicken Everything was really fresh - much fresher than anywhere else from where we've ordered - and it was hot and delicious when we received it. I highly recommend the lemon chicken - the chicken was tender, the breading was crisp but not super oily, and the sauce was the perfect amount of sweet and tart. The combo fried rice is a best seller, and I understand why! They aren't skimpy with the proteins, and it isn't overcooked. The egg rolls were pretty standard - nothing special but they were fine. The overall price was surprisingly low, especially for the sheer quantity of food we received (one order of the fried rice could easily be split amongst 6-8 people, no question). We will absolutely order from them again! read more

Peking Express - General Tso's Bean Curd - Chinese Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

I still call this memorable spot Ho King, y'all :) While dating the hubs in the early 2000's, we ordered takeout here when in the area. Good times. Since he was passing by that 'hood, he picked me up their "Chef's Recommendation" C25 fish filet with black bean sauce. I generally don't like fish but I'll definitely order this again. 'Tis crack. Tasty comforting crack. Crack to-go. Crack attack. This fish dish is lightly breaded then lord the black bean sauce. Consists of a few carrots, green peppers, onions, and mushrooms but it's mainly the protein. It's a type of white fish with a meaty chew. I guess that's why I enjoy it - very satisfying. Now it looks like a wrecked hot mess but mmmmmm delish. Awesome portion as well. Good for dinner and lunch for the next day. Yesssss. I'm hoping he'll pass by that location again soon. Really soon. Waiting. read more

Okay, so since this review I've ordered from Peking Express 3 times (sighs). The service has continued to be top notch, I still receive my order in under 30 minutes and I have not encountered the first weird delivery person. Generally I order with a $2 off coupon from Eat24 and you're able to track the order, but now I see a $10 off coupon with checkin that I'll use next time. One thing I must admit I'm not a fan of is their shoe string French fries. Yeah sue me for not having authentic Chinese food from this place. Overall, Peking Express is my favorite carry out/delivery place in NOVA. read more

Ordered pickup from here, but probably will not do so again. Portions are generous with reasonable prices, but the food doesn't have much flavor. Ordered hunan chicken and pan fried noodles. The pan fried noodles, I definitely was not expecting. It comes as crispy, ramen like noodles before you cook them, that you eat with the beef and vegetables, instead of regular noodles. The chicken dumplings were pretty good, but the egg rolls were truly just fine. read more
