    Lunch special: shrimp lo mein and fried rice
    Sarah O.

    This is the only place in Baltimore that I'll order chinese from. After trying SO many places and always being disappointed, I was excited to discover Peking House because this is my new go-to. Their lunch specials are such a great deal. Their portions are huge, food is fresh, and price is right. The lo mein is my favorite since it always has a lot of veggies and isn't greasy, and their fried rice is pretty classic. A lunch special can usually last me about 2 meals. Their wonton soup is my favorite too. They always pack a lot of dumplings in the container and their broth isn't too oily. The delivery is always fast and the food is piping hot when it arrives. My only complaint is that the crispy noodles they include are usually stale, and they pack their food in styrofoam, hence the 4/5 stars. But these are pretty small complaints when it comes to Baltimore Chinese food. I will continue ordering from this place every time I get a craving.

    Broccolo with sauce (vegetarian)

    We stopped by here before going to the theatre. It is not fancy by any means, but he food was really excellent. We had pork fried rice, with a good amount of meat. Egg drop soup Garlic broccoli (I asked for a mild and it came with having only the faintest of heat with good crunch vegetables. Our kids got the sesame chicken, they said the sauce had a little more savouriness that really tasted good. Give it a try as their prices are not bad for a downtown place. And the people behind the counter was very nice and offered us to adjust the sauces for our tastes a bit.

    Good typical "fast food" chinese. Exactly what you would expect from your typical Chinese restaurant. Great flavors, good sized portions, great value. Ordered the General Tso's chicken (on point) with fried rice, House Mei Fun (good amount of meats and veggies, not mostly noodles like many places), and Hot n Sour soup (great flavor, but not spicy enough for me). Overall great for traditional take out chinese food. Fast delivery and accurate. Would order again!

    Steamed dumplings

    I really feel Baltimore City is missing a good Chinese take out. This one is probably the best I had so far. I ordered through the Yelp App. It took the full hour for delivery. Most places say it will take an hour but show up sooner, but not this place. Delivery is a $12 min and a $1 fee. Not too bad. The food was good but basic. I ordered the steamed dumplings and I'll admit I've had better. The sauce was very thin and so was the dumplings themselves. The chicken fried rice was good but again, basic.

    Spicy orange chicken and wonton soup!!
    Elena R.

    The place isn't that nice looking but the food is really good!!!! Large Wonton soup for only $2.40!!! Oh man and it sure is delicious!!! Also got a spicy orange chicken lunch special for $5.00 with steamed rice made to perfection. Unlike Panda Express or china inn ... This place cooks your food to order which means it's fresh when you get it!! So you won't get soggy orange a chicken that's been sitting there all afternoon. I will come again!!

    Chicken Fried Rice

    Hard to believe it could be that bad... Very unfortunate. Fried rice with chicken - super dry, regular seasoning. Missing some egg in the fried rice! Staff was nice, if that counts.

    Burnt shrimp fried rice

    My fried rice was burnt and not spicy like i requested. Had to send it back. 2nd order was perfect. Crab rangoons were stale.

    C5. General Tso's Chicken
    Lexie M.

    Pretty decent American Chinese food for a good price. Had the General Tso combination with rice and roll, plus large wonton soup for $12. The combination platter was so large I made into two meals, same as the soup. Overall was pretty tasty for the price and large portions.

    I tried this location while visiting in Baltimore. it was in walking distance from the hotel I was staying at. upon arriving I was not sure if I wanted to go in , it did look a little unkept, but the food smelled great so I decided to try it. I'm glad I did. I got the sweet and sour chicken lunch (special total of $6 even) I got that with fried rice. brought it back to the hotel. it was enough for me to eat most of it in one sitting, and then finish up the rest later. sometimes Chinese food can leave my stomach a little distraught. this surprisingly did not. I may actually go back before leaving Baltimore.

    2nd scrap of metal found in my food.

    I have never had issues here before and I have ordered from them many times before. Today I ordered Sesame chicken, Orange chicken, and Wonton soup. Well, as soon as I opened the sesame chicken, I noticed a shiny squiggly strip- it was metal. I tried to see past this and eat my food, however I noticed more and more wrong with this meal. I discovered black spots on the chicken, and hours later when I was eating the wonton soup, ANOTHER piece of squiggly metal. Picture for proof. I almost consumed this piece of metal which is why I'm not showing it inside of the soup- it scraped against my lip as I was trying to eat and I immediately stopped eating. Absolutely disgusted with this.

The best part was the spring rolls and the donuts, those were like what I expected. The fried rice had very large pieces of vegetables (entire broccoli florets, piece of baby corn, carrot slices) and was not crispy, chewy, or anything that suggested it was fried except oily, and was the oblong oval kind of rice, some kind of short grain or sticky rice. So the texture was wrong to me. The flavor was underwhelming and did not use nearly enough soy sauce, salt, MSG, whatever. These things were pretty consistent across their other dishes as well, including lo mein and hunan chicken; veg pieces too big, flavor not there, sauce too thin and not dark enough. Parking was impossible for pickup; had to circle the block 5 times. The location was scary at 8:30PM, there was a homeless woman yelling at me from the sidewalk on the way in, just something to be aware of. However my order was ready on time and they were polite.

    Blue Island (Aug 31, 2023, Thursday, ~ 2p.m.)…read more Blue Island is located in the Lexington Market in the heart of Baltimore City. I first went to the Lexington Market pretty early mid-morning on Aug. 30, 2023 before I headed to the B&O Railroad Museum (A MUST-SEE when visiting Baltimore.) and was expecting a food market selling fresh produce, unprocessed foods, confectionaries, flowers etc. I was totally wrong. It is instead a two-story structure carrying many different types of cuisine. Blue Island is located on the second floor. After climbing stairs of many steps right in the middle of the structure, Blue Island is located on the left side towards the back end of the second floor. There are a few tables and chairs set up so you can "dine-in". I was way too early, and the store was not open yet. I decided to come back the next day to try out the food due to my tight schedule that day. If you do some research, some of the other sites claim Blue Island offers Malaysian cuisine. Being born in Singapore, a very close neighboring country of Malaysia, I can tell you that it is most definitely NOT Malaysian cuisine. Their food, however, may have some Malaysian spices incorporated into it, and I taste that in the "spicy" dishes (Not spicy enough for my taste though. Way too Americanized.). The high quality ingredients are also part of the Malaysian heritage. What impressed me most was the pretty large sized shrimp that was part of the ingredients in the fried rice and fried noodles. In my many decades living in this country, I've eaten a lot of what I call "fake" Chinese/Asian cuisine, and I have never encountered shrimp of that size with any of those rice/noodle dishes. What stood out even more was that shrimp was FRESH - a double bonus. As in many places, you can order the combos, but there is a catch. My past experiences with these places is that when you order a 2-item combo, that means either a base rice and/or noodle PLUS 2 entrees. At Blue.Island, the rice or noodle IS COUNTED as one item (No half and half either.) in the Combo. I ended up ordering a 3-item combo with fried rice and two of their spicier entrees. The food was very delicious, and a definite cut above the rest. I also had time, while in line to order the food, to have a quick chat with one of the servers. I discovered that the owner and some of the servers were originally from Hong Kong. The two I spoke with also spoke Cantonese, and I was provided with a little discount off the total price, which was totally unexpected and appreciated. If you decide to eat at this place, please be prepared for a constant line of people doing the same. I was there for about 90 minutes to rest my tired feet after long hours of sight-seeing, and the line never ceased throughout that time. Do yourself a favor and patronize this place. I don't think you will regret that decision. Ah, those large tasty shrimp! For the taste, quality, and value. I rate this place a full 5 stars. Happy Eating !!!!

    It serves lomein, beef and broccoli, orange chicken and other American Chinese food favorites. Be…read morewarned that the food tastes overwhelmingly sweet. Portions are ample and the service is prompt.
