Love coming here because the owners take pride in the quality of the food, and the experience. It's a traditional fast food Chinese restaurant that has prepared food ready to take, but will also prepare food while you wait if they don't have the one you like. Their chow mein is amazing! Also, a True family owned business... Wife works the front, and the husband cooks. They also play Christian music in the restaurant, which I love. Definitely worth checking out when in the mood for quick, but delicious Chinese food. read more

Hadn't been here in a while. Good reviews but the food was not very good. Definitely am not going back read more

Idk why there's 5 stars. First time here and I can say it was not good. Bland rice bland noodle. Chicken diced to tiny pieces more veggies than protein. No flavor. Give you one napkin. Ridiculous. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME. ITS GARBAGE. read more

Love! First time dining here and it's delicious. Great to have a local spot (that's been here forever) in town. Folks running the restaurant are super sweet. Can't wait to return! read more

First time here. Boy with long hair helped me. I asked him what comes in the wonton soup. He stared at me stupid and just said wontons... I then asked him about their online menu and he responded he's just a minimum wage cashier and has nothing to do with the website. Basically refused to answer my questions and said he's a cashier and will only perform cashier duties. I told him that's a great attitude and he said minimum wage minimum effort. The wonton soup was $15 and was super bland. Food sucks. Kids gonna grow up to be a loser. Not coming here again. read more

Honestly, I don't post reviews often. However, this was such a disappointment that I am moved to write about this. My lunch hour is ruined and I am left unsatisfied. This was supposed to be sweet and sour pork. I literally got balls of fried crap and rice. I am NEVER eating here again and you shouldn't either. No restaurant should survive with this kind of crappy food. read more

I have dine at Peking Place many many times. If u are looking for delicious great food and plenty of it. Don't walk RUN to the Place . I generally have 3 days of leftovers . Please treat yourself to the best. read more

This place used to be a solid go-to for Chinese food but it's a shadow of its former self. Make sure you avoid the gentleman who can't speak English. He doesn't understand nor speak so I had to settle for a half of a thigh as my teriyaki chicken order. I only ordered a one-item with teriyaki because ALL of the other items appeared as if they'd been sitting out there since lunchtime. I asked if there were going to be any fresh items placed out there, but I'm sure you can imagine how that went. If it wasn't for the Hispanic gentleman cooking in the back, we probably wouldn't have been able to order our soups either. Btw, it's completely empty during prime time(725 pm). Avoid avoid avoid! read more

For a fast food outlet I was surprised by the tasty dishes. Fed myself and 2 hungry boys for a great price. Chearfull decor.. Quite nice to eat in. We had fried rice, a beef and broccoli and a chicken and vegies in a nice sauce. Boys lapped it up and had fun with the chopsticks. Will be my go to chinese from now on. read more

Food was in a word....AWFUL .... Rice was dry and the Beef slices in the Beef with Broccoli was so tough it was hard to swallow. The poor young lady behind the counter was very nice BUT didn't speak a word of English. Red Flag......when we got in line there were two ladies in front of us who were returning a order they had just picked up saying that they were not coming back. The dining area was clean with some new tables and chairs. I don't know what happened. It was a great place to come for takeout in the past. I'm SORRY, I would NOT recommend going there at all. read more

Being I no longer live near this area, it's been a while since I last visited. Disappointed to hear about the new ownership. I ordered orange chicken, fried rice and chowmein. Orange chicken was good, chowmein was bland and fried rice was burnt and dry. Don't plan on returning. read more

Food was dry they didn't give me no fortune cookies I saw a guy who they gave him a fortune cookie with no fortune kid who works there is rude ima pack bro out next time read more

Have been coming here since I was a little girl and it's the only place o come to when I crave Chinese food! BBQ chicken is my favorite!!

Must agree with Karen H.. but not a "hole in the wall". Independant Family run outlet where they care about their flavours more than max profits (like the chains). Clean and comfortable buffet style place but with freshly prepped meals depending on your order. Their combos are an incredible price. Went with a hungry friend (ex college lineman) and had the idea to order 2, two choice combos. Rice and chow mein and 4 items for 20 bucks! He took some home! May have been due to the crean cheese wontons we had as an appie. They were delicious. Highly reccomend for value, quality and a surprising range of choice for a small outlet. read more

Great food, kind loving God fearing owners, family owned and operated. One of a kind! They go above and beyond to give back to the community! Definitely recommend to everyone! read more

My stomach is so full. Excellent food! Steamed veggies, chicken teriyaki, veggie egg rolls, orange chicken, chow mein noodles, and fried rice, were all on point! The servings were oversized and enough for three complete meals. Very friendly service as well. read more

LARGE portions. Great prices. Delicious food. Excellent customer service. We LOVE this place! read more

Service is quick and polite, food is always hot, even if you get take out. Highly recommend the wontons and the tofu.

Not so good... My husband picked up dinner from here, our first experience with this restaurant. He waited a very long time because for some reason, even during dinner hours, they had nothing prepared. Now, on a normal basis, I wouldn't complain about waiting for fresh food, but it looked and tasted old, and wasn't good at all. The "orange chicken " was a dark red, bloody looking, mushy pile, that was extremely sweet and it was hard to find any chicken amongst the mushy batter that it is cooked in. The kung pao chicken was a bit unrecognizable as well, and had an old taste to it also. I don't remember what my husband ordered, but he threw everything away except the chowmein, saying that's all that tasted okay. Needless to say, we will not return here. read more

Great service and the food always tastes fresh! Today I ordered the barbecue chicken with chow mein noodles. Great flavor with a little kick of red chili peppers hit the spot!! My new fav from now on! read more

It's rare that you DON'T come across murder-Chinese in this part of Riverside. Actually, it's rare that you don't come across murder-anything here. Peking Express is the only place I haven't tried on Arlington from Madison to Tyler...that's a decent stretch if you're not familiar. I've always been skeptical of the place, especially since I never see more than two people eating at this place during lunch. Today I decided to push my fears aside and make the trek to Peking. I wasn't expecting authentic, I was expecting Panda Express, and those expectations were definitely met. I can't remember the last time I had Sweet & Sour Chicken, so that seemed like a logical choice for entree #1, entree #2 was a side of their mixed vegetables. Add a heaping side of steamed white rice and a fountain drink (Coca-Cola), and you've got yourself an average meal for an above average $8. I realize that the price directly correlates to soaring commodities prices, continued tensions in North Africa, and Donald Trump throwing his hat in the Presidential Race, but come on! Can I get a buck or two off for being the only customer in here? The best aspect of the entire experience is that I didn't regret it 30 minutes later. But that's what happens when you eat in these parts. Every meal is a gamble... read more

I love this place! Their black pepper chicken, chicken egg rolls, sesame chicken are really good . My kids love their chowmien.

I very rarely write a negative review-that being said, I used to eat here pretty frequently- the food was fresh and tasty. I had not eaten there in probably two to three years but today I was shopping next door and it sounded good. When I went in, it seemed different. There wasn't a lot of food prepared and what was there looked very unappetizing. Against my better judgment I decided to order. I am allergic to chili and so I asked if the orange chicken (more red than orange) was spicy AT ALL. I was assured by the young man behind the counter that it was not spicy at all. So I said I would have that. When he stirred it to dish some up there was a red chili pepper. I expressed concern because I am allergic and he told me it really wasn't spicy and that the chili was PLASTIC. That should have scared me off right there. But no, I didn't want to be "rude" so I opted for broccoli beef instead. Mistake! There was hardly any beef- what was there was pretty tough and the broccoli was barely cooked- still extremely crunchy - bordering on raw. I also ordered a chicken egg roll which surprisingly was quite good. However, the young man asked if my order was for here or to go- I told him "to go." I took my bag- paid my $12 + and headed home. When I arrived at home and got ready to eat there was NO SOY SAUCE, NO SWEET AMD SOUR for the egg roll and no fortune cookie (all things I have always received at other Chinese restaurants of a similar type) I will not be back. Apparently there has been a change of ownership. Hopefully, the new owners will start looking at some of these reviews and step up their game. Ho Ho China on Madison will have my business from now on. read more

Very friendly, great chow, get a to go 2 item dinner. You'll see they can barely close the lid. We always go here for a quick fix. Thanks gals! read more

Peking express delivers what is expected, and does it well. It's not fancy. It's express. The portions were large, the food was fresh. We ordered a couple of dishes not on display and the cook in the back for right to it. It was fresh. And the bbq chicken was extra spicy. read more

Best Chinese food around! I've been going here for at least 15 years. Christian small business ran

Delicious food, good selection of dishes, good prices! I had the mushroom chicken today while my hubby had the Kung Pao chicken. Both were excellent! The staff is so polite and friendly. As of today, they are only doing take out due to COVID-19, but I'm sure that will change soon. Try them - you'll like the food! read more

It's not all that ... it's okay .. They stopped cooking food about an hour before closing . Some of the food tasted salty . I wasn't impressed. read more

We have been coming here for at least 15 years. Is it the best Chinese food I've ever had? No, but I have never been disappointed, the price of combo plates didn't go up exponentially like other fast food chinese places and the crushed chili oil IS some of the best I've had. read more

MANY OFF MENU VEGETARIAN OPTIONS AND SUBSTITUTES AVAILABLE THIS IS (sorry I'll stop screaming this is my new go to place. If you're looking for vegan vegetarian Chinese food this place is it! And I've never been told the chef that's in can't make the tofu dishes, but I've gotten that at at least 2 other local chinese food places. The portions are huge, expect to eat family style or at least share. HIGHLY recommend! read more

The food here is pretty good! The service is exceptional. Always polite, always smiling, always accommodating. Great atmosphere and they're great with kids too! Great for those nights when I'm too exhausted to cook for the family, and the kids love their choices. read more

Orange chicken was to sweet and bright red. The food was ok but there is much better Chinese food at other places.

A perfect spot to go for lunch. The food was brought out fresh as I arrived for lunch which was great. Typical serving fashion where you get 1 or 2 sides to go with your choice of fried rice/chow mein/steammed veggies. The inside was very clean and modern. I recommend the bbq chicken but you're going to be happy with whatever you try. Be back soon! read more

I ordered a one item meal. I had the veggies and chow mein only. I fell in love with their chow mein! Their veggies were very tender!! The veggies had some sort of broth--not sure if it's just water--but, it had great flavor! I actually mixed in the veggie broth with my chow mein to give it some more flavor. I wanted to try the chef's shrimp special but was in a rush! I bet I was not going to be disappointed! Customer service was excellent! IT IS a mom and pop place and I am a great supporter of local businesses. It's time that we give back to our community by supporting our neighbors and their businesses. I will be returning soon to try the chef's special!! read more

The food was not as fresh as it should have been. The rice was almost crunchy, and the chow neon was bland. The orange chicken was also soggy, and had no crisp. read more

Came here for the first time a few days ago because i had a coupon. I got a two entree combo, which only came out to $5.39 with my coupon. Regular two entree combo comes out to $6.52 after taxes. The fried rice was excellent! The teriyaki chicken was good. Not the best I've had, but good. For Chinese food, there could have been bigger portions. Most local places pack your Styrofoam box to the point where it almost won't shut!! Lol. The woman who took my order was very friendly & helpful! Overall very pleasant experience, I'd come back, but probably only with a coupon, again. read more

The fried rice and Lo Mein are really tasty! I don't eat meat, but they allowed me to get the steamed veggies as my item. Overall pretty yummy. read more
