Most CASH only places are an instant turn off for me. But when the craving hits for some fried wontons or fried pork rice, with a can of coke, I will *run* to a nearby ATM to satisfy that urge. This place executes American Chinese food well. Decor would be described as "run down" or an "after thought". It's like any other place of this sort, a bit of a cookie cutter in that sense. But the staff is nice, execution timely, and prices are 100% affordable by 2026 standards. read more

I order roast pork is very hard to eat. Meet is to hard to swallow. Not recommend this place

Just your regular neighborhood Chinese food, and that's all you need. Tasty and well made. read more

Peking Express - Sesame Chicken - Chinese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

My whole family got food poisoning from their General Tso's chicken yesterday. The food itself did not taste bad but it wasn't worth it.

food lacks lots of flavor, and they don't have many selections either. the shrimp tastes old and aren't as fresh and tasty as the other places. Golden Dragon is definitely much better. read more

Orange chicken w/ PFR - hit the spot, nice & prompt regular meal. Would order again if in the area. 7/10

Your friendly neighborhood Chinese takeout, done right! I keep cash in my wallet for the sole purpose of being able to buy food here. I would suggest sticking with the classics when ordering, the fried chicken is especially a favorite of mine!!! read more

Good old school Brooklyn Chinese food, not oily, not salty, just really enjoyable food at very good prices. You want Chinese, you call Peking express, PERIOD. Sincerly, born and raised Brooklyn read more

This is your average Chinese take out spot right by Msgr. McGolrick Park. It's not really a dine in place. They took covid seriously and everyone in there were wearing masks and gloves. There's even a screen protecting the staff from their customers when you go to order. I ordered over the phone for pick up. It was a little difficult understanding because of the language barrier. They don't tell you what the items cost because they assume you're familiar with their prices already. It's all pretty cheap anyway. I had some trouble understanding why my bill was a little hiigh but it turns out she had added an extra order because she thought I wanted ribs... The food itself was very heavy and didn't really sit well. I know that's expected of cheap Chinese takeout but this one really made me feel like I was stuffed with fat and sodium lol. I ordered the crab Rangoon wontons which were really good. Perfect amount of filling. A bit on the sweeter side. I also got the sweet and sour shrimp which were these giant doughy fried shrimp balls. They were fun to eat but very greasy. You needed the white rice to balance that out. I got the beef with Chinese vegetables which was ALL just vegetables. The veggies and beef were fine. There was also a lot of sauce left over. I also got the shrimp lo mein. The shrimp tasted a little too fishy but there was a decent amount of them. The noodles themselves lacked flavor and adding soy sauce didn't really help it. It would have tasted better if the sauce was cooked down a little more. read more

My partner and I have lived in Greenpoint for 5 years and have been searching for good Chinese takeout. We've tried everywhere on the apps. We just ordered from Peking Express and were SO excited to finally find our go-to - this place is the bomb. Fantastic food and service. highly recommend!! read more

Always order from here. Classic Chinese takeout. Very good. Always get the general chicken, lo mein and fried rice.

Love this place, you're ordering exactly what you think you are and it hits every time.

Look - you're not going here for fancy food, amazing decor, and artistic playing. You're coming here for quick Chinese food when you're hungry. I've been in Greenpoint my whole life and this place is my favorite spot to go when I'm hungry and in the mood for some semi-greasy take-out. The women who work here are nice and to the point, the food is made pretty quickly, and they apologize for making you wait even when you feel like you've barely waited at all. The food is tasty and the prices are great. I've only done takeout since I live around the corner so I can't say anything about delivery, but I definitely recommend this place if you're in the neighborhood and in the mood for Chinese! read more

The best Chinese takeout spot I ever had. I always get the Chicken with Broccoli with garlic sauce. Friendly and fast service. As a Greenpoint native for 25 years they never let me down. Highly recommend. read more

I love Peking Express!! It's my favorite Chinese food take out place in Greenpoint. PLEASE bring back the old veggie dumplings that were large and chewy and full of veggies. They've been replaced with these tiny, underwhelming new dumplings that are nowhere near the same as the old veggie dumplings. I used to order the dumplings 2 times a week. Now I rarely go there anymore. read more

I ordered dinner from this place today and the chicken wings were so old and burnt they were inedible, the broccoli was soggy and also tasted old. I wanted to support a local restaurant during the pandemic, but I won't be ordering from them again. Just look at these so-called chicken wings, how can you serve that to anyone? read more

Peking Express - a person's hand holding a piece of food - Chinese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Good food ,super fast for delivery .. the food is very consistent basic Chinese. this is not a fancy hipster joint (. There garlic sauce is amazing must try .. read more

3stars = food 5stars = customer service The food is meh, but when a little mix up happened with my order, I still tipped the driver (Jonathon) well because he biked through a snowstorm. 20 minutes later, he came back with the item they forgot (TWO orders of them and for free) and thanked me for letting him come inside to be warm. read more

This is the best Chinese food spot in Greenpoint by far. I've been eating here my whole life. Prices everywhere have gone up, but here the prices have not changed much. Still very cheap, for large and delicious portions. Probably the last og NYC Chinese takeout spot left in Greenpoint. Vegetables are always on point, and they have no issues taking special order requests. Sometimes I ask for extra sauce, no rice, no broccoli, broccoli only, no onions etc. they always make whatever annoyingly specific request I have. The ladies who interact with customers are always kind and very friendly with all neighborhood regulars. They are cash only, and I usually call for pick up and the order is ready in 10-15 minutes. They have been handling the pandemic well, everyone wears masks and they set up a plastic barrier between staff and customers. My favorite Chinese food spot forever read more

Picked up lunch for the guys. It wasn't the best,rice tasted as if the oil wasn't fresh. Other then that everyone ate there lunch. Pretty tradition lunch spot,nothing special. They have a couple seats to have lunch there. They also deliver. read more

Peking Express - the corner of a street corner - Chinese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Came in for takeout and waited 10 minutes, super quick! Took my food home and sat my ass down on my bed and completely destroyed my General Tso's chicken combo with pork fried rice... Super worth it, this is definitely the best chinese food I have had in a while. It's exactly what you want and need. read more

Bottom line, this is just good, satisfying, cheap Chinese food. The food itself isn't four star food, but you're not really coming here for that, are you? It's just really succeeds as cheap, hole-in-the-wall Chinese. My friends and I got General Tso's chicken, orange chicken, sesame chicken, three eggrolls, crab rangoons, and shrimp toast for $28. Oh, and they threw in two free sodas. Sure, you're going to hate yourself thirty minutes after, but you'll thoroughly enjoy the feast during. Highlights: cheap, super decent food, quick, best crab rangoons we've ever had Lowlights: eggrolls aren't good. The three chicken dishes are basically exactly the same with the same sauce, just with sesame seeds on top or tossed with orange peels. Tip: delivery or takeout only. You can eat there, but why? read more

I love this chinise take out place! I can't remember my first experience with this place but I have been a fun since forever. Everytime I call I get some extra fortune cookies :) My dad is jealous! The prices are very good (bet. $4 - $6 for a small portion). And for me small portion is for 2 dinners. The food is very good. I especially like their baby shrimps and vegetable dumpligs. The noodles and rices are good too. I order only beef and shrimps. Never tried anything other that that so can't tell. Fast delivery. They know their regulars. When I call I don't have to even finish my adress the lady already knows :) Never been inside so I can't tell how it looks. read more

Your average Chinese takeout place. Inside, there are about six tables, but the bulk of the business done here is takeout -- or free delivery by motor scooter. The menu sports most of your takeout favorites, as well as some Szechuan specialities. The best bet is the luncheon special: An entree along with soup, egg roll, or soda for all of $4.30. But you can't go wrong in genreal. I just picked up a chicken cow mein, egg roll, and iced tea for $5.35. Not bad. read more

Food is standard, pretty good Chinese food. I only recommend it if you're picking it up. They've consistently taken over an hour for delivery when they tell me on the phone it's going to be 25 minutes. It's ridiculous. read more

Don't go here. I have had more than my fair share of sketchy Chinese food over the years, and I have paid the price from time to time. But what I am experiencing right now is some next level, "should I go to the hospital?"-style food poisoning. I wouldn't wish this on anybody. Nothing left to purge and my stomach is still heaving. Just do yourself a favor and skip it. One star because apparently I have to have one. read more

Never again. Note that I am rating this with the expectations of a fast food, sketchy chinese take out spot, and yet I'm still going to give it 1 star. The food is decent, I've had much better sketchy chinese take out, for cheaper too. Their pork egg foo young was all egg and rice which was disappointing. The one star is mainly for the hair I found in my food, luckily I'm not squeamish, and not one to waste food just because of a hair. Anyways, the people are nice, the food is bad, go elsewhere. There's a pizza spot on the next corner over that is worth every dollar. read more

It's cheap easy AF Chinese. Don't expect much when 4 people are eating for $40 with apps. But they need to be polite on their phone orders(you know who you are). We don't understand you, you don't always understand us. Our menu isn't always the newest one so pork special 64-Might not be roast pork with black bean(who tf orders that). Lets stop evading the IRS And get on seemless. 4 starts because they're crab Rangoon is fire and crispy. Don't order general tso if you expect spice. It's bland and the rice needs help. Boneless spare ribs are on point after a few libations. read more

Ordered the General Tso and it was DROWNING in sauce (I even asked for light sauce)...The chicken isn't the slightest bit crispy..Egg Roll was horrific and cold.. Took 45 min for Delivery...DISGRACE for Chinese food, I'm almost certain a small town in Idaho has better. This is NYC, your food and service are an embarrassment. I'll never be ordering from here again. read more

There's nothing I hate more than wasting money on terrible food. Though like most Chinese places the prices are reasonable, the food was so bland. I ordered hot and sour soup with wantons, and the soup was like brown water -- it was neither hot nor sour -- and the wontons were flavorless. I also ordered beef and broccoli and pork with vegetables; both were also flavorless. I appreciated the abundance of vegetables, but that was it. read more

Best Chinese food takeout joint around in my opinion. I've tried several local competing takeout spots and this one has been winning it for me many years running. The staff is quick and pleasant. The food is never a disappointment. Prices are completely reasonable. Keep up the good work Peking Express. read more

Service is terrible , delivery wait is way to long then when i called to place delivery the lady who answered the phone argued that i had to tip the delivery man not that i wouldn't but tip is completely optional and i don't like feeling forced to give someone more money out my pocket after I'm already paying for my food and the delivery service is free . From this experice i will never waste my time and money at this establishment when they have also have mediocre food .... read more

This place is Tso good, seriously it is the archetypical greasy NYC Chinese spot. From the second you walk in and are greeted by the turbocharged women that demand your order, to the possible luck dragon in the back that wisks together your order in three minutes flat. You can't order wrong here, everything is that perfect meld of salty sweet msg that you crave when impaired or are just too lazy to eat anything that is delivered by a spaceman on a duct tape rocket bike. read more

I ordered the vegetable chow mein. It didn't have any noodles. Just vegetables. I asked. Employee said that's chow mein. I showed her Wikipedia. Chow mein has noodles....but not at Peking Express! Oh, and the "chow mein" was terrible. read more

I mean, come on, people! This isnt Tao. Its Peking Express so if your looking for something wor more than say, $6, than order from somewhere that charges more than $6. I get the General Tsos or Chicken with Garlic and its always: Fresh, hot, delivered within 10-15 minutes and a pleasant ordering experience. Couldnt really ask for more when I want me some American-Chinese. read more

Decent Chinese but BEWARE if you are in a vehicle that idles outside: apparently someone wrote down my license plate and sent it in to the city and now I have a $200 fine for leaving my car running while I went inside to pick up my order. read more

I've been going to them for years and I have to say, their food is delicious! It's a pretty small restaurant with only about 6 tables inside, so most of their business is takeout or delivery. I once was in there with my Grandmother and a man walked in and ordered about 6 orders of the fried wontons. He stated that they were the best fried wontons that he's ever tasted and drove in all the way from Upstate to get them. I completely agree! Their fried wontons have always been one of my favorite dishes there! They have tasty lo mein, beef/chicken with broccoli, boneless spare ribs, broccoli in garlic sauce, sauteed shredded beef in hot pepper sauce, egg roll, crab rangoon etc. I can go on and on. I think their food is amazing! Their service is great, too! read more

Is this the best Chinese food I've ever had? No. Has it hit the spot during some of the worst hangovers? Yes. I came in with realistic expectations of a cash only, corner Chinese food joint, I left satisfied. Also been here several times and have never felt sick, but I also don't eat meat which generally reduces the risk of food poisoning regardless of where you're eating... I am taking off a star for their general tsos tofu not being spicy AT ALL. read more

Love their cold sesame noodles! Perfect place to go if you are in Greenpoint and looking for cheap and easy Chinese take-out!
