I've passed by this place many times, and finally decided to give it a try. The inside was empty for dine in, but definitely had its fair share of people coming in to pick up orders. Got the general tso's chicken. Tasted good and was a nice size portion. Solid option for take out Chinese in the Burlington area. read more

Peking House - S3. General Tso's Chicken - Chinese Near Me - Burlington, North Carolina

I was working in Burlington and had no idea of what I wanted for lunch. Thought I'd stop into a sub shop, missed my turn and saw this place. Someone had a great photo of the general tso's tofu so I had to try it. I ordered mine with noodles however. It was crispy and spicy just the way I like it. My only wish was that they offered it in a lunch portion. I took my time and finished it though and didn't feel excessively full. During lunch it's pretty empty in the dining room. They do a lot of door dash and to go orders however. read more

The lady in charge of the place is so rude. We came in for the lunch menu. We were ready to order a couple of minutes after sitting down. We were the only customers in the place. Walked in about 2:40 and she walked up to us at 2:56. We told her we came in for the lunch menu and we were told she stopped taking orders for the lunch menu 30 min before 3. I believe the menus should be updated. However, what really bothered me was her attitude about it. She was annoyed and made it seem like it was common knowledge. I saw nothing about that in the menu or any signs at the entrance. Since everyone (6 of us) picked from the LUNCH MENU, it took us a second to choose something else. That made her sigh and shake her head. While I was placing my new order, I looked up and caught her rolling her eyes. She finished taking everyone's orders at 2:59. I was checking my watch routinely because I wanted to emphasize the timing of everything that happed. In an empty restaurant she took 16 minutes to take our order (which we were fine with! this is not what I'm upset with at all!) It took her 3 minutes to take 6 people's orders, and she was huffing and puffing, rolling her eyes all the while. Food is pretty good, but I don't know if the ambiance is something I enjoy! read more

Me and my sisters went for an early dinner. The food was okay The people were very nice. Restroom and restaurant was clean.

My wife and I visited Peking house for lunch on Friday. It's a small casual Chinese restaurant off University in Burlington near major shopping. My wife loved her chicken and broccoli. The vegetables were fresh and crisp and the sauce flavorful. I had the Szechuan chicken. Lots of white meat chicken and good fresh vegetables. The sauce was a sweet sauce (similar to what you'd expect to see on sweet and sour chicken) with some pepper flakes added for heat. It was ok, but fell short of my expectations for a Szechuan sauce. Both lunches came with egg rolls. They were crispy and we both enjoyed them. We'll be back. I'd like to try a different entree. read more

We haven't been there for a long time. We liked them a lot when we moved here 14 years ago. There was a stretch where the cooking became bland and sometime even undercooked. We tried them twice over the last three weeks. We ordered Lo Meir, Sesame Chicken, Chicken with broccoli egg rolls and fried rice. All we cooked well and very tasty. They back on our list. read more

Horrible food. Either they don't change their grease or they like to overcook everything. 2nd time trying this place and food is still horrible. Never again!!! Food is super dry and chicken was so chewy I couldn't bite into it. My rice smelt burnt not a pleasant taste either. Literal waste of money. Do not recommend. read more

Came here with my mom for the first time and wanted to check out this place. We ordered and got our food which was relatively good! And the food was pretty cheap aswell! first time here wasnt so bad and i recommend! read more

First time with this restaurant. I will never use them again ! We ordered takeout and the food was the worst tasting and dry that I've ever experienced . The Pupu platter was a total waste of money . Threw out half of the meal it was so dry and over cooked. Could not eat the shrimp bread or the ribs or the chicken on a stick. The beef and snow peas was acceptable. Don't order there! Crab Rangoons were marginal read more

Love it, always serves great food and the staff is friendly. The amount of food you get for the price is great! Especially during lunch. read more

Love this place. Everything they have is amazing. Huge menu. Wonton soup is amazing egg rolls are my favorite. You really cant go wrong with this place. They are very nice and quick. The best Chinese food in town. read more

I really like the lo mein and crab rangoons. They are very consistent and you know you're going to get the same flavors as before.

I was pleasantly surprised here. The most recent reviews were not that great but I was feeling like a little "fast Chinese food". Me and Lefty opted to dine in. we started with some wings :) and ordered up some sesame chicken, Lo mein, pork something and fried rice. The wings were decent for the location; well-cooked and good flavor. The Lo Mein was not too dry or oily with a simple flavoring. The sesame chicken had meaty chunks and the sauce was sticky and sweet. I enjoyed the fried rice (I think it had butter in it). The pork was tender and the sauce had a little kick to it that was very welcomed. The portions were large and enough to pack meals to go. Usually with this style of "Chinese" restaurant, you know what to expect; simple American style Chinese food. But sometimes the regular in better than expected, but still regular. There is a TV at this location, but it is cartoons to keep the family children quite in their own personal booth. It works :) read more

I decided to give Peking House another shot since it's been over a year since my last visit. In short, very little has changed...literally. I was their only customer at about 12:10 (bad sign). The same gentleman took my order as last time, the menu was the same, the price was about the same and it was out just as amazingly fast. It was also just as steaming hot as last time. The restaurant layout and decor are the same too. The only thing different this time is I ordered the Hunan Chicken. I have to give the chicken component credit. The pieces were fresh, moist and prefectly cooked. The rest of the dish, including the stir-fried rice and fried spring roll was very typical (and the same as my last visit). I'm not trying to imply sameness is necessarily bad but I really don't know what is drawing customers here. There simply isn't any one aspect that I can tell that makes this place a destination. Unless I become aware of some drastic change, I'll stick with the other choices nearby. read more

Peking House - Plain Jane dining room - Chinese Near Me - Burlington, North Carolina

3rd times the charm! This is the 3rd Chinese restaurant we've tried in the area and I can officially say it's my favorite....hands down! The portion sizes were ample, the flavor and texture was so tasty and the price was right. We had the dumplings (not too doughy) the boneless ribs (best I've ever tasted) and the beef and broccoli (fresh crisp and delish). What makes me even more jazzed about this place is that they deliver. Can't wait to try their hibachi! read more

We've tried them 3 times now. The chicken is always rock hard and dry inside. Very, very light on the veggies and the veggies - mostly broccoli - have always been overcooked. Not very flavorful. Not very spicy - as an example, the description of General Tso's chicken says "hot and spicy"... it's NOT. It's all been bland. It's a large portion of meh. read more

I ordered the orange chicken and sesame chicken combination lunch plates and there was so much food. For under $6 I was not expecting so much to eat. I also ordered the cheese wontons and they were great and really crispy. I will definitely be ordering from here a lot lol read more

Peking House - a plate of stir fried vegetables - Chinese Near Me - Burlington, North Carolina

Many reviews on here seem to think they are entitled to be getting PF Changs level service and food here even though this is not at all what Peking House aims to be and should not be judged on. Peking House is instead an affordable and fast Chinese place that delivers above-average food for this type of restaurant. I have been to many of these type restaurants in the Burlington area and Peking House always comes out on top for flavor and reliability. The family based staff are also always wonderful and really strive to be the best affordable Chinese place in the area. I cannot recommend Peking House enough for anyone looking for the best affordable Chinese food! As a pro-tip for Yelp readers, always remember to check the "unrecommended reviews" section as well - Yelp's supposedly "unbiased" algorithm curiously always manages to censors most positive reviews for businesses while leaving all the negative ones. As is usually the case, these reviews for Peking House better reflect the business' true quality versus a few sour apples leaving a 1-star review because of a minor inconvenience not getting them a free meal. read more

The food was hot and right on time this is some good Chinese food and I would recommend this place

Staff is always super kind and friendly. They always treat you with respect and know how to have a pleasant conversation. Please tip them. Love the wonton soup and crab rangoons. read more

Great Chinese takeout. When you're looking for Chinese takeout, you already know what to expect. This is definitely a typical type of Chinese place, but I would recommend this one over any other one in the area. They are clean, friendly, speak English well, and their food is great and they are always consistent. read more

Peking House - Beef C1. Chow Mein Combo Platter Lunch - Chinese Near Me - Burlington, North Carolina

Ordered my dinner off of Grubhub for delivery while I was in town for work. Received my meal in less than 30 mins which was awesome. They called to verify where I was staying before trying to delivery which I felt was great customer service! I ordered Hibachi chicken which came with a salad, crab rangoon, and hot and sour soup. I spent less than $20 including tip (free delivery with orders over $15.00) and I have enough food for at least 3 days. The food was hot, tasted good and was quick. I will definitely order from Peking next time I am in town for work. read more

Inconsistent ive been here twice the first time the food was really good so i went back and the 2nd time it was terrible. Still not the worst Chinese in burlington though. read more

Ugh!!!! Please take a look at your reviews....the food quality is really going down. Food so overcooked, rude people, just not what it used to be. Chicken hard as a brick almost, veggies are undercooked. My family had given up on ordering from here anymore but I wanted to give it one more try.....shaking my head. I felt like I was about to vomit up the food I ate from there. read more

I've been ordering takeout weekly for about the last 6 months, have tried different things and have not been disappointed. I love Asian food and for Chinese food, this place is really good. The food is made to order, HOT and the portions are enough for two meals. This is my go to when I don't feel like cooking, you know a place is good when you have their menu in your car! The location is convenient and my food has always been ready when they say it will be. I encourage you to try this one, I've only gotten take out so I can't speak to the restaurant but it's been clean when I've been there. read more

I discovered this Chinese restaurant over the Christmas holiday while shopping in the area. I live in a neighboring city, but I have been back three times in a week. The food is delicious, especially the chicken with broccoli. It is killa! I order several of these to go at a time. The atmosphere is nice and the staff is professional. Once you place an order, you'll be back. read more

Management/staff is not very welcoming. When I went to order I did not feel like a customer. Will never visit the location again

Worst Chinese food I've had in my life.. everything tastes horrible and bland..prices are fair but the quality of the food is that of a 3rd world country..couldn't even finish the meal because I felt the overwhelming urge to go the the bathroom and purge everything I had just ate..Peking House aka stomach pump read more

Just placed an order for delivery. The gentleman that took the order said 30 to 40 minutes. I made 2 phone calls to find out where our food was and why it had not been delivered. An hour after the order was placed the driver showed up at the door. As the bag was opened we were missing an entree. I called back to th restaurant and asked about the order. I wanted to make sure that we were not charged for the missing entree. The lady that answered the phone (claiming to be the manager) laughed and said that we did not order it. I said yes maam i did and the man who took the order repeated it back to me. After that she was trying to over talk me and then asked me to be quiet so she could talk. How very rude to talk to your customers that way. Please find another restaurant to place an order that cares about their customers. read more

Good for what it is. Friendly staff. The only issue I have is they charge for white sauce. But I like that I get a drink with the lunch pricing since I don't like egg rolls read more

Update. The food tasted pretty good, no complaints there. Just need to improve their customer service.

This was my first time going to this restaurant for takeout. They have excellent food. And the portions are good size, I feel this is going to be on my favorite list of favorite Chinese restaurant. They have a great sweet-and-sour chicken, a good pork lo mein and also I love their egg rolls. I hope to try out their other dishes also. Try it you won't be sorry. read more
