Needed to grab lunch today when running errands, so decided to try out Peking Kitchen II. Had been looking for an alternative Chinese lunch special restaurant in my neighborhood, and when I first spotted this place, noted they included Hot & Sour, my preferred soup, as an option with their lunch specials, (which is not always included elsewhere,) so was eager to check them out. It seems that uptown Manhattan Chinese Lunch Specials hav increased significantly since 2019, from $6 and change to this one costing $9, over 40%. These days I get my fix for Chinese more often in Chinatown or Flushing, where there's outstanding eats, but that's not always possible. Everything was kept tidy. Peking Kitchen II has a couple tables with since chairs to eat there, so I did. Ordered Beef with Garlic Sauce and Pork Fried Rice, along with that Hot & Sour Soup. While there are other places equally near my house I might order over Peking Kitchen II, it was fine and filling. Definitely, appreciate them offering Hot & Sour for the Lunch Special soup! read more

See all

Food is decent but you're as likely as not to be hit up for money by some street person who comes in to beg. Not really what I want when I'm waiting for takeout. read more

General Tao's chicken combo: Chicken: good sauce, but some of the chicken is dry and chewy. 3 stars Pork fried rice: mostly just rice. Very little pork or other ingredients. 2 stars Eggroll: surprisingly good! 4 stars Hot and sour soup: Tastes like thick water. Not much flavor at all. 1 star New King Wok up the street might be a slightly better option. read more

This is my absolute favorite place to go to for lunch when I'm at work. The pork egg roll and wonton soup are delicious! read more

Peking Kitchen II - Shrimp with broccoli lunch special... Very good - Chinese Near Me - New York, New York

This review may be updated to 4 stars, I will definitely order from Peking Kitchen II again. I ordered the Curry Chicken and it was good. I also had the Spring Rolls and they were pretty good. The prices are definitely good for being in New York City. Overall I would say the best thing is that I feel like I know what I am getting when I order from this place. I was told my food would be delivered in 20 minutes, so when I looked at my phone 40 minutes later I wasn't happy. I think I finally received my food 45 minutes after I ordered. And the delivery guy does not come upstairs, not a deal breaker, but it would be nice. If I could give 3.5 stars I would. read more

Peking Kitchen II - Curry chicken - Chinese Near Me - New York, New York

I loved this place, good deals and very nice people. Best chicken wings ever!!! Eggs RollsGeneral Tsos Chicken

It may not look like much.. but it's way better than Szechuan Garden Kitchen down the street and still manages to be less ghetto-looking. The things that say 'spicy' are actually spicy. Plus, they offer hot and sour soup with their lunch special and SGK does not. The portions are massive and fed me for one full extra meal, only costing $6. The guys are nice and asked me if I was Chinese. In my broken Mandarin I said yes and asked them if they are from Fujian. I guessed right! ... But I don't understand the mainland Fujian dialect at all. Only the totally different Hokkien that is used in Malaysia! read more

I ordered their chicken fried rice and kung pao chicken some weeks back, and I say this not to play on the familiar stereotypes of Chinese food, but: I really question if hteir chicken is chicken. The texture is bizarre, chewy, and flavorless. It seems more masked in the kung pao chicken with the extra flavors, but I will never order meat here again. Again that's not to suggest they are substituting something untoward, just that this may be composite meat a la subway or frozen chicken dinners, with soy, flour, etc thrown in and ground up. If I'm wrong, they have my apologies, but regardless, the quality of the meat is very poor. That being said, if you want a veggie meal, the flavor is fine, and the price can't be beat. They also seem like pretty nice people. Would not recommend, but would order when desperate. read more

Customer service apparently does not exist in the PLACE I come in to order my food and had to wait for 5 mins before I could place my order. When it was 3 people in the kitchen, one of them could've at least acknowledged that I was there but they didn't. They pretended to not see me instead of saying "be with you in one minute". They don't have Apple Pay like they don't live in downtown West Harlem (very confused) They have to be clueless to not know that this is 2021 and most adults in this day and age pay everything with our phone, watches & cards, so how would you not have this feature?!! To then add on to this, now some how lengthy review as I'm still waiting for the chicken i ordered at the start of this review, you attempt to charge a surcharge to process a card. When I know that to have those machines you aren't allowed to do that. I don't think I should take any further action but they should become aware that people know that they aren't supposed to try to have us spend more so they can profit off the transaction. By the conclusion of this mini adventure I had got my 4 wings and asked for BBQ sauce on the side, they pulled one out of the fridge and i said give me another for them to say it's going to $1 more, (boy don't love to penny pinch huh). I got home and loved the wings as NYC Chinese restaurant chicken wings are unrivaled but just the whole experience rubbed me the wrong way. So the moral is the good food shitty everything else read more

This place is consistently good. One of the few chinese restaurants around here that will actually make the Kung Pao chicken even remotely spicy, but you have to ask for it to be "Extra extra spicy" just for it to register. Their dumplings and dumpling sauce are terrific, the fried rice is the best of any Harlem Chinese restaurants, the lo-mein is good and the sesame/general tso's chicken is good too. I haven't found anything here that I don't like. Solid four stars, everytime. Good, but nothing earth-shattering. For the price, this is the best "NYC" Chinese food that I have found. read more

The delivery was quick and the food was delicious. better then other Chinese spots around here

My favourite place for no-muss no-fuss takeout. Awesome portions for the price.

I'm eating House Special Moo Shu right now. The individual tastes in the dish are distinct, not muddled. You get the shrimp and pork, both. The portion size is substantial. The place is clean and their service is efficient and polite. So far, so good. It gets 4 stars (on the take-out scale). Open until 11 on Sundays. Glad to find them in the area. read more

Just solid, clean looking chinese take-out location in the area. No issues with them so far, I usually to take outs so can't comment on their delivery. read more

I think it's the vegetable oil they use that I don't like, and their rice and spring rolls are just ok. The General Tsos is very tasty and their homemade tea is very good too. I'll be going back for sure! read more

not the best chinese food... but the best you will find in this neighborhood. we always order our favorites - the all white meat sesame chicken, chicken dumplings and fried rice.. and are never disappointed. HUGE plus - their prices are GREAT. read more

The delivery was extremely fast, and we also received eggs rolls and tea for free with our order! Recommend the General Tsos Chicken , Sesame Chicken and Chicken Lo Mein! read more

Found long hair in chicken and broccoli when I called to tell them she said she has a hat and was rude about it. read more

Peking Kitchen II - Chinese Near Me - New York, New York

The staff here is rude. As a frequent diner at this establishment I ask them to honor a free drink on the coupon. On my next visit I noticed that the price on the chicken and fries went up by 75 cent-- so actually I was no longer receiving a free drink because it was (now) covered in the price of the meal. They lie about delivery proximity among other things. Furthermore, they don't use real meat in the chicken lo mein. My advice is spend your hard earned money elsewhere. You have been warned. read more

I'm not sure when these guys opened but I've been walking by there for months. If I'm ordering out Chinese I usually go with West Place (or Thai Market for Thai food...MMM!!) I've lived in the neighborhood for 4+ years and have little experience with the 'faster food' joints along 116 & FDB, but noticed a few weeks ago these guys had an "A" rating and you can't help but notice how bright it is in there, which I thought was a plus. So last night on my way back from Best Yet Market I decided I'd stop in, ask for a menu, and check it out. They were super friendly. The menu was standard, and one thing I really liked was that you can watch everything being prepared in their galley kitchen. I ordered dumplings, fried rice and egg rolls and all of it was very good. In fact friend rice was quite a bit better than I've had delivered from places up near Columbia. I think I've found my new place. And it's so close I can just pick it up myself. read more

I feel silly giving a hole-in-the-wall Chinese takeout joint a 5-star review, but this place is surprisingly good. Fast, affordable, and consistently fresh and tasty food. Noodles are flavorful without being greasy, as are the other dishes I've tried. It may not look like much, but it's a solid go-to in the neighborhood. read more

Had their menu because they've delivered to me before, 16 blocks away. Tonight they don't deliver here. Never again.

The food is pretty good and the portion sizes are great. The service is friendly and the prices are cheap. Love the chicken broccoli! They use real good quality chicken. read more
