My partner and I stopped here on a whim when looking for somewhere nice for dinner. We were a little hesitant at first since the place was completely dead, but we were proven very wrong when we got our food. For appetizers, we ordered the dried dumplings ($7.50 for 6 pieces) and the sweet pork buns ($5 for 2). They were both delightful. The dumplings were pleasantly chewy, with the best crunch on the bottom. They were huge and seasoned very well. The buns were soft and pillowy, with a nice amount of meat in them. They could have been seasoned a little more, but some hot mustard really made them amazing. For our meals, we decided to order the dinner combo ($12.50). It comes with an egg roll, plain fried rice, and your entree of choice. I got orange chicken and they got Hunan chicken. Both meals were absolutely amazing, with fantastic portions. It was seasoned perfectly, and the orange chicken was crispy to the point of having an audible crunch. There were even real orange peels in the sauce! We both had leftovers to bring home and were completely full. The meal ended with fortune cookies, and a complimentary strawberry mousse. It was light, and perfectly sweet to end the meal. The service at the restaurant itself was lovely. No one was constantly over our shoulder, but our drinks stayed full and the food came out hot and quickly. The restaurant was quiet, and comfortable. I would absolutely recommend anyone in Frederick to try this place! (As you can see from some of the photos, I got a little too excited and dug in before taking photos!) read more

Carry out order of pupu platter was so oily that we couldn't eat it. The grease saturated the bottom of the container as well as the food. Phoenix and dragon was ok only had three shrimp in it. We were in Frederick and tried it but will never order again read more

Ok so let's start out with the super and then move to the just good. Super 1. They have a varied menu 2. The options are incredible 3. Egg Rolls - wow 4. Hot and Sour Soup (wow wow wow) 5. Chinese Donuts, sinful Just Good 1. EVERYTHING ELSE Look my go to for Chinese is Hot and Sour Soup. Like Fish and Chips it is one of my favorites. It is also a dish that can easily be well made poorly. Peking hit the mark with fantastic hot and sour soup. They made our let's go again list with just the eggs rolls. So far, and that may change, Best Chinese we've found in Frederick! read more

The perfect Christmas dinner, convenient to the movies. We enjoyed the varied menu, friendly service, and fresh ingredients.

Food was very tasty and fresh! Our new go to Chinese spot out of all the Frederick places we've tried. 10/10

I was so happy to see dining service available again here. This is a very nice place and super clean and pleasant. The food is delicious and they will make it any way that you want. Crispy eggplant with a spicy sauce is a must-ask custom order. So good! Lunch was affordable at $10. Amazing. read more

I am generally very picky about Chinese food especially because my family owned an authentic Chinese restaurant. We were pleasantly surprised& continue to enjoy eating here. The food is consistent, there's a good mix of American style and Chinese style dishes. The food is tasty but not overly sauced or salted. The prices are excellent. The restaurant itself is clean and spacious. The service is great- they are so kind. One thing to be aware of is that the chow mein does not have noodles in it. While tasty, it's mainly sautéed vegetables in a white sauce. There are no noodles. Our kids were thrilled to get the piggy dessert buns and they even treat you to a whipped strawberry cup and fortune cookie. We will continue to come here! read more

My bill was almost $90.00 for takeout, a large order. No condiments, soy sauce, duck sauce were included in my order. Vegetable spring rolls, greasy, too much cabbage. Shrimp with lobster sauce, no big deal. Wish the previous owners were still running the restaurant, I believe the food was better. read more

Finally a Chinese restaurant in the area that doesn't suck! *happy dance* They also offer a good vegetarian selection too so I can actually eat from the same restaurant as the long suffering wife. Veggie Lo-mean was wonderful full of flavor and is already on my list to have again. Veggie fried rice was actually good enough to be used as left overs. And I rarely keep leftovers. Spring rolls delicious both hot and cold. And crispy noodles... *chefs kiss* The wife however having the Kong POW Chicken would wish for less peanuts and more chicken. But apart from that the food was great. Handy for pick up on the way home, and the staff were so very polite. Even doing a small courtesy bow as I said thank you. read more

If You are looking for GREAT Chinese food to eat, this place IS THE BEST in the Frederick Maryland Area. GREAT Food, GREAT Service and Good Prices here Compared to Other Restaurant's in this area. Very Clean here Also. They only offer take out only. I would Highly Recommend this Business to EVERYONE. Thank You Peking Gourmet, for the DELICIOUS Food and GREAT SERVICE. read more

Food was awful! The chow mein had no noodles at all, my boyfriend said the chicken tasted off like it was old, and the tofu was dry and tough. read more

Tried again. Tastes nothing like it did when the previous owners had it. Food is terrible. Will not be returning.

The service is fast, the food is good and well priced. Everything is very clean. Highly recommend...a step up from the normal Chinese takeout. read more

Best Chinese food in Frederick! It's sooo good. This is the only place I order Chinese food.

Peking Gourmet has the best Chinese food I have found in Frederick. The service has been professional, and certainly hospitable. Their fried rice is the best!!! read more

I have been a fan of Peking Gourmet for over 20 years. It, along with Modern Asia have been my go to Chinese restaurants. In fact I often go to both when I am picking up Chinese food because Modern Asia doesn't make Mu Shu and Peking Gourmet (PG) does. I also like PG's egg rolls and Mongolan Beef better. We mostly like all the rest of our dishes better from Modern Asia. Last night I ordered from both, as usual. When I got to PG, I saw that the dining area was reopened and it looked great. But Irene wasn't there. I asked if the restaurant was still owned by Irene and the nice woman there told me they had new management, new owners. I wondered if the food would be as good. Unfortunately, I am sorry to report that the food was very disappointing. The egg rolls were obviously fried in oil that was too low of a temperature, or the egg rills were frozen and lowered the oil temperature, because the egg rolls were soggy with oil and undercooked, blah. The Mu Shu was disappointing because none of the traditional ingredients such as egg, black cloud mushrooms, ginger, and green onions were used. The sauce was totally not correct for Mu Shu either. The dish tasted like something bland with a hint of pork and onions. The hoisin sauce provided was watered down to the point of being runny. The Mongolian beef looked good, but the seasoning was totally off. Well, I should say nonexistent. Like an American dish of sliced beef and onion in a bland gravy. I have plenty of Chinese condiments in my pantry so I doctored it up to something that tasted okay. All in all, I will not have to go to two restaurants to make my Chinese pick-ups. Peking Gourmet, sadly, is off my list. read more

Maybe I'll give this place one more shot but for lunch I got kung pao beef. The portion size was good, but the beef tasted really fishy. And the fried rice tasted like cleaning spray. Bummed because that means the only edible thing left is egg drop soup. read more

Food is tasty. Service is nice & our waitress communicates well with us. Simple ambiance.

Best Chinese in Frederick. Owners are amazing, food is always consistent, and they truly care about your business and what you think of their food. Ambiance was great but since Covid shutdowns and since reopening they can't find help to work the dining room so it remains closed while kitchen continues to do carry out orders. read more

I have to say this place is pretty consistant. From the "15 min" window for pick up to the great taste. The ladies at the counter are friendly and the food tastes good. I highly recomend this being a place to get takeout for a nice dinner at home. Crispy beef, egg rolls and sweet and sour chicken are really good. read more

By far our favorite Chinese food in Frederick, you can't go wrong with anything here. The service is great, the food is awesome! My favorite is the gluten free Szechwan Chicken. read more

Ordered 2 dishes and took it home. When I open the two dishes, I literally CANNOT tell the difference at all!!! They throw in the same ingredients and use the same premixed sauce. As a Chinese, I felt it's a shame such food are called Chinese food. read more

Food is consistently good. This is my go to place for Chinese food. The owners are very nice people.

Food was not that good at all. And the employees were rude. Customer service was severely lacking. Will not be eating here again.

The food is always so yummy and the owners are very kind. They have a great lunch special that runs every day of the week. Mongolian beef and orange chicken are some of my favorites! read more

I've been coming here for years and it is the best Chinese food in Frederick! Egg rolls are my favorite and a must have!! Every time I've ordered something it's been to protection, never had a bad dish. read more

Peking Gourmet is the most authentic Chinese food around the area. The only complaint I have is they have added filler items like broccoli in some of their dishes that normally do not have broccoli like Sesame chicken and General Tso's chicken so they can use less chicken. Hot & sour soup, Egg Foo Young and Shrimp & Lobster sauce are also great authentic dishes too from Peking Gourmet. read more

Since so many folks mentioned the General Tso's chicken, I went back on Sunday and ordered it. Wow. It was spicy and delicious. Gooey and tangy with mysterious flavors and aromas. These days it seems like the popular way to fix this dish is with lots of sugar. The Peking Gourmet version is a little less sweet. read more

Ordered for first time and was pretty good. Portions a little small. Love the free delivery. Kung POW sauce a bit heavy. Can't taste meat in spring rolls. read more

Tried this on a whim one night for carryout originally and loved it, had a few of the Chef's Specialties that I hadn't seen offered anywhere else before such as "Double Seasoned Lamb" which was amazing and full of flavor. But my dining in experience is what set the bar for me. They start you off immediately with hot tea and ice water, and the wrap things up at the end of your meal with hot steamed towels and cookies. These small personal touches are what sets it apart from many others. The owners are extremely nice and talkative. NOTE: Check filtered reviews, there are many hidden. read more

After a few days of watching my diet I figure i give myself a little treat, and what could be better than chinese food. From the lunch menu I order the sesame chicken that comes with your typical fried rice and choice of wonton or egg roll. The rice was terrible, no flavor what so ever. No green onions, not one single piece of pork, no scramble eggs, nothing. Only plain old boring sauté white rice and soy sauce. The chicken pieces were a hot mess!!. Pieces were cut to big, batter was not made with cornstarch, so it immediately became soggy and chewy when they sauté in that funky brown sauce. It actually tasted like one of my many attempts at making general tso's chicken. The wonton broth wasn't as bad as the rest of the meal. The only reason I give it two stars is the service. The older man in the register was very pleasant. Overall, BIG disappointment!!!!! read more

TL;DR: Bad staff. Obnoxious owner. Don't waste your time. My experience today was awful. We called in an order over $50 and they told us it would be 45 minutes for delivery. 40 minutes later they called us back because they'd written the credit card number down wrong and it wouldn't go through. 45 minutes after that our food still hadn't been delivered. When we called back we were told that our order had been moved to the back of the line and had not been made yet. First we were told the manager couldn't waste his time on us and then the owner informed us that we could wait at least 45 more minutes or cancel the order and practically dared us to write a bad review. We cancelled the order and here's the review. read more

After reading the reviews for this place I thought I would give it a try. The food was disappointing but I gave it 3 stars for cleanliness and the friendly and sincere greeting. The chicken fried rice was just ok and the "fried rice" that came with the other dishes was not good at all. The orange chicken sauce was really good but the chicken was fatty. The Szechuan beef was excellent but but I was underwhelmed by the egg roles. read more

I have lived in Frederick for the past 12 years. When my family first moved to the area we regularly ate at a different Chinese restaurant...until we discovered the unbelievably delicious food, wonderful atmosphere, and friendly service at Peking Gourmet...now i can honestly say Peking Gourmet is hands down the best chinese food restaurant in the frederick area. For Chinese food i personally would never do anywhere else. Peking Gourmet has a wide selection of delicious dishes all generously portioned and served fresh and piping hot. I am a vegetarian while other members of my family are avid carnivores, Peking Gourmet has a dish to delight everyone. One of the great things about Peking Gourmet's food is that it is fresh and flavorful and never overly greasy or oily like a lot of Chinese restaurants. The food from Peking Gourmet is more flavorful and healthier (no MSG :D) then most chinese restaurants. I cannot say enough about how delicious the food is. PLUS PEking Gourmet is the only restaurant i know of that will deliver to my home (which is in adamstown) which just shows what excellent service the owners and employees always provide. I feel like this is too long and no-one will want to read it all, so i will just end by saying Peking Gourmet has the best General Tso's and Kung Pao sauces I've ever had..better then places in New York city's Chinatown, there takeout is always speedy and fresh...and anyone who hasn't been to Peking Gourmet who lives in the frederick area is missing out! This is a diamond in the ruff restaurant and i would HIGHLY recommend it! read more

This is seriously a hidden gem of a restaurant within a strip mall. First, the food is delicious. I started with 2 egg rolls & they were very big & yummy...and for $2.95 how can you beat that?!?! Then I had the General Tso's chicken & fried rice. A nice spice & zing to it. Really done to perfection - I've only had better in Chinatown in San Francisco. What impressed me just as much as the food was the service. You could tell it was family owned...just very kind & genuine people. Always checked if I had enough drink, rice, and soy sauce. They wrapped up what I couldn't eat for me. And when they brought me the check, in addition to the token fortune cookie, they also brought me a delicious almond cookie & a HOT TOWEL. What a great idea...loved how they took the extra step with the hot towel. I will visit this Chinese restaurant again!! read more

Peking Gourmet - General Tso's chicken & fried rice...it was so good. Done to perfection! - Chinese Near Me - Frederick, Maryland

I have eaten at Peking Gourmet several times and it's always consistent, always good. I would venture to say it's one of the top 3 Chinese restaurants in Frederick. I don't know why they have the best reviews filtered (i.e., hidden from your initial view) because looking at the main page it looks like this is a terrible restaurant. It's not. Try it, you'll probably like it. read more

Have been searching for a decent Chinese place and finally found one. Everything we ordered from appetizer to entree was great! You would never know from the outside how great this place is. Friendly service and excellent food. What more could you ask for? read more

Best Chinese restaurant in Frederick! I love that they serve water and hot tea right when you get to youe table. The service was quick abd friendly. We had spring rolls which where perfectly crispy. Our meal was chicken with broccoli and white rice and combination lo mein. The chicken was deliciously seasoned wi th crisp broccoli. The lo mein had huge pieces of beef chicken and lots of shrimp. Lots of places will skimp you on the meat. They also served a big bowl of white steamed rice. At the end of the meal we had almond cookies and steamed towels with the check. What a nice touch!!! read more
