I'm embarrassed for this place! The run down outside should have been enough warning, but sometimes you find a gem inside so we gave it a try. The inside had a strong bleach smell and most tables were dirty with plates and left over food begging to be cleaned up. The server was very polite and mostly attentive. The food was a HUGE disappointment and continued the bleach theme. The wonton soup was luke warm and bland. The sweet & sour chicken was awful and tasted like they soaked the chicken in bleach. Prices are cheap and this review should help you know why! read more

Delicious food 10/10 service, best Asian food iv had. The beef chow mein was delicious !!

Just ate there food on point customer service the best!!!always a great experience!!!! Food hot and fresh

I don't know about this place. I've lived in New Braunfels a long time and would often wonder why their parking lot is empty almost all the time I drive by. My mom and I decided to eat there. The inside is quite dated, maybe that's the charm of it I don't know. I have to say the food was not good at all. The rice really didn't have flavor. The waiter was very good, in fact he was the only waiter in the restaurant and was doing double duty - serving and managing the register. The place actually had at least 4-5 tables but it was extremely quiet and a bit of an odd vibe. The food is cheap but I wasn't impressed. At least I tried it and don't have to wonder anymore. read more

fast service, very friendly staff, super clean, it was my first time trying sweet & sour chicken (i'm a VERY picky eater) and it was SUPER GOOD, i get it almost every time now, i love the scenery inside too, very nice read more

The empty parking lot at prime dining time should have warned us away, but I had read some recommendations on Nextdoor, so thought I would give it a try. Terrible! Greasy "fried rice"--no veggies in that rice!--wontons tasted like they had been fried in lard because of the heavy taste, and the entree's were bland. The egg drop soup was too thick with corn starch and not flavorful. Not worth a second trip. read more

Upon entering the elderly lady who I am guessing is the owner was sweet and accommodating . Food was good and she was trying her hardest to get around to serve people which I respect. I ordered the chicken with garlic sauce and it came out right away. For the price point you can't beat this. 6.90 for lunch and it includes soup, tea, wonton, and entree. What are you expecting a high end Chinese restaurant for that price? I'm surprised they can even afford to keep the restaurant open and living on that price. Some of these reviews seem to be by entitled brats who want everything to be served to them immediately. You ever thought maybe they don't make enough income to hire another staff member or maybe it's hard finding people to work now? Also, she was limping! Definitely a hard worker compared to so many of you who never a hard day in your life. Stop complaining and appreciate life a bit more. Be respectful. I will always support small businesses when they are hard workers. read more

If you know then you know. This is by far the best Chinese restaurant in NB! We love dining in or taking it home. Always satisfied with our meal. Support your local businesses read more

Family owned business. Prices are great, very modest deco, food is delicious! Very relaxed atmosphere Food came in a reasonable Time. I really wasnt impressed with outside but found it cozy inside , food was great and patrons friendly read more

Just need help for serving and cleaning because it is amazing for the price! Everyone comes cause they know. Love the homemade food! Annnd you spend just a bit more and can get the combo! Wish they had lomein but can't beat the price and friendly service! The wonton soup and egg rolls are the bomb! read more

I finally stopped in with my daughter and I'll be making this my go-to spot from now on. Excellent service! They were super friendly and it's a family run business. The wonton soup was delicious and the egg drop soup was good too. My daughter and I got the kung pao chicken and it was excellent! The friend wontons and egg roll were the best I've had! The dinner special is under $10 and includes a soup, entree w/ fried rice and wonton or egg roll. Can't beat those prices! Can't wait to come back. Thank you for the great experience! read more

Peking is the BEST Chinese restaurant in New Braunfels by far. It has been around a long time & is the best Chinese I've ever had. I like the chicken & broccoli the best & cream cheese wontons ...yum yum..I give it a thumbs up..if u eat there, u won't be disappointed read more

Older place with all the old school favorites. Super nice people with good prices. Right off the highway.

Have never actually had the chance to eat here because my husband and I have gone to the restaurant and it was over an hour before they closed and an employee came out and told us they were already closed... on a Saturday night at 6:30... Now a few weeks later we decided to give them another chance and place an order for pick up again an hour and a half before they close and I called 8 times and no one answered the phone... never attempting to eat here again. read more

Peking Restaurant and the owner has been around a long time and I love this place. Nothing fancy but good food and the best Hot & Sour soup and Egg rolls around. read more

They have the Best Hot and Sour soup I have Ever had. The owner Phone is very nice and usually runs the place alone. My 4 year old love to go there because of the great service!!! The prices are extremely reasonable. I've been enjoying Peking since I was young. read more

Food is great. Service is great. The owner is very attentive and is also your waitress, busboy, and cashier. Ambiance is great. People coming that they had to wait 10 mins in other reviews need to just stop. The owner is your waitress, busboy and cashier. She does EVERYTHING. just be patient and give her a chance. She is super sweet! read more

Don't let the outside fool you, inside the service is exceptional and the food always great. Hot & sour soup is a must!

Ordered chicken fried rice and it did not taste like Chinese fried rice. It was horrible!

Read reviews before going so expected 1 person working the front. She was on top of things! Great time management. But the food wasn't what I would normally expect. It was on the sweet side. read more

Tried this restaurant on the recommendation of a friend. One of those places you wouldn't walk into unless recommended. There were 2 police cars parked out front so I figured if the local police officers dined here, it must be good. Prices are very good. I ordered Broccoli Chicken. The hot&sour soup and egg roll were probably I've had here in NB. The fried rice was very different but good. The Chicken in the main dish tasted a little off but broccoli was good although very small pieces. I'll probably be back to try a different main dish. read more

We used to live in New Braunfels and this was our favorite place to eat. We moved to San Antonio and thought it would be awesome to go there to celebrate Valentine's Day, a few days after. We drove an hour to get there and were told to sit wherever we wanted; there were only people sitting at 4 other tables. After a few minutes of waiting for someone to take our drinks (which never happened) the only waitress there went to the back and never came back out. We waited a total of 10 minutes and no one said anything to us and there was no one around so we left. If you decide to go here I hope you have a better experience it just sucks we drove 2 hours round-trip to not even be helped. read more

Let me set the expectations right away. This is not high end Chinese cuisine. For $3.90 lunch plate combo (entrée, rice, egg roll/soup and tea), you can't beat it. It's decent food. Hell, there's places that charge you twice as much and taste worse. Even though the fried rice looked more like saffron rice, not going to complain as i ate it all and it was good. For both of us for lunch, the total was less than $10. read more

Peking Restaurant - the front of the restaurant - Chinese Near Me - New Braunfels, Texas

Food was good but not enough, price was ok for what you got. Good for quick lunch, other wise ok

Finally, after 9 yrs in the area and with costs of $5.95 for the lunch special, I decided to go in. As others have said the wait is like Chinese water torture (45 minutes to get my plate). I chose one of the combo lunch specials for $6.35. I wanted to sample two meats. My wonton soup came out right away; it was a salty bouillon cube type soup with 2 raw, huge noodles and no green onions. It was horrendous. I chose for my combo sesame chicken (others have raved about this) and beef/broccoli. What little meat there were were swimming in thick gravies. Both the beef and sesame chicken were chewy, and in the case of the chicken crunchy from bone or gristle, if chicken has gristle... The yellow (fried) rice was gummy and flavorless (took one bite). The brown gravy on the beef/broccoli well, tasted like "brown gravy." The sesame chicken sauce however was absolutely delicious--savory, sweet, and fragrant. I sopped up this gravy with my little eggroll. I say little egg roll because they are only 2.5 inches long but fat as my...well, you get the pic. The egg rolls were homemade and filled with fresh cabbage and a little bit of meat. Would I come back here? Only and I say only if I can order a dozen of these egg rolls for pickup. I need to check the price on this. I'd even get full for lunch with 6 because I definitely wouldn't want to reheat these. Right out the fryer or wok, they were delicious. read more

STAY FAR AWAY!! By far the worst Chinese I've ever had!! And it's a dirty restaurant. I have NEVER had Chinese food that was so bad I had to throw it away but this went to the trash before my first plate was done. The Hot and Sour soup was BURNT! Seriously burnt. Fried Rice is orange. Nothing in it. Just neon orange rice. Nothing in Sweet & Sour but the meat. No pineapple. No green pepper. Just breaded meat. The Lo Mein was so drenched in sauce I thought it was soup. Stay far away!! read more

Friendly staff , delicious food, amazing and affordable and good amount of food. This place is 100% underrated but so so good!

I ordered the chow mein chicken with rice. I have no idea what it is that they served me. Chicken looks uncooked with soggy vegetables and is super runny. I've also never eaten orange fried rice. This was a total waste of $10 and is inedible. I wouldn't even feed this to my dog. I will never return here if this is what they think quality food is. The two other people in my party also got the wrong food and neither looked appetizing either. Highly disappointed. read more

Peking Restaurant - two plates of food on a table - Chinese Near Me - New Braunfels, Texas

I did like it, even though the rice is that orange, it doesn't hurt the flavor, it makes it not white. But the sesame chicken was perfect; fried and crisp with sesame and moist flavorful meat covered in that Chinese brown sugar sauce. I don't know if it will join the rotation because the two I was with weren't too happy, but whatever. I liked it. read more

I have heard that the wait takes a while, but I thought I'd give it a try. Me and my boyfriend went for takeout one night. The wait wasn't too long and for about $16 we each got a meal, one egg roll, fried rice and a soup of our choice. It was a decent amount of food. We got home and the soup was just ok- both hot and sour and egg drop- kinda funny taste to each. The sweet and sour chicken was good, but the chicken in garlic sauce barley had any chicken in it- it was mainly veggies, or sauce. The fried rice was weird- it was orange and did not taste like fried rice and the egg roll was good but soggy. I can't say I would be back. It wasn't the best but it wasn't the worst. read more

Great value for the money It doesn't look like much on the inside or outside. Try the lunch menu.

So, no. Definitely no. This isn't my first rendezvous with this restaurant, but their quality and prices have changed since my last visit. We ordered Rangoons, 2 dinner combos & lo mein for my kids to share and it was utterly disgusting for $40. That's a far cry from the past with dinner for 3 with okay food for less than $20. My dog wouldn't eat the leftovers. That's bad! read more

I read good things about this restaurant and my friend and I tried it. The amount of the entrée was so scant. Huge amount of orange rice. The hot and sour soup was good but missing the "hot". The same with the serving size for my friend's plate. An hour later we were both hungry again. Lunch meal was about $7 but it did include tea. Won't go there again. Wish I had taken a photo. read more

If you think the outside looks bad just wait until your food is placed in front of you. WORST. CHINESE. FOOD. EVER!!! I ordered the Sweet & Sour Chicken. Had I wanted cut up chicken strips with the sweet & sour sauce on the side I could have stayed at home. What the heck was with the ORANGE "fried rice"? I have had my share of chinese food in my years on this earth but that was a first. After the look on my husbands face when he tried the egg roll I decided to pass. He ordered the hot & spicy soup and Sesame Chicken. The soup was barely lukewarm. "I hope eating this doesn't make me sick", was the response when I asked how his meal tasted. Needless to say we paid for a meal we could not eat and are now sitting in IHOP. read more

I am Chinese and I ate a lot of american Chinese restaurants. Consider I eat 900 plus meals out a year. I definitely will have to warn people. First everything has msg. Way too salty. Their brown sauce taste like petroleum their rice is orange. I question the dye. All veggies and meat r from frozen bags. It's worse than ur neighborhood buffet. I am afraid I might have on the toilet all night. read more

Peking Restaurant - So their soup is salt and boiled veggies. Best dish on the whole menu though - Chinese Near Me - New Braunfels, Texas

Cheap and good food. If your inpatient, this place probably isn't for you. The owner runs the place with her husband, just her taking orders so she takes a bit to get your order. But food comes out quick. She always remember my order, been coming here since I was about 3. Anyways love the food and good pricing. read more

I showed up at 8:20 PM on a Saturday (11-03-2018) and they wouldn't let me in the door. They signaledl to me through the window that they were closed. The Internet and the front door both say they close at 9 PM. I am certain that this experience reflects their quality, standards, and service, across the spectrum. I won't be back. And I live within walking distance, less than a quarter-mile away. I've lived in New Braunfels for nine months, and something has just never seemed quite right about this place, like it's intuition that I've never stopped before, except now I'm craving general Taos chicken read more

I didn't have the heart to give them 1 star, but this may or may not be the worst Chinese food I have ever eaten. Definitely the worst bowl of hot and sour soup to ever enter my belly. I will not be coming back :( read more

Peking is amazing. The lunch special let me tell you $3.99. I LOVE LOVE LOVE their Kung Pao Chicken & Fried Rice nothing can compare (trust me I'm a food junky). This is a family owned business. So the lady or the kids are the only ones working. Mostly just one of them is working either the daughter or wife while the husband & another person are making the food.. So during lunch, so do expect a wait, but so worth it. They are such a sweet humble family & I've had small talk with them. When I see them super busy, I've helped them pick up plates, & clean the tables.. It's the least one can do for such a great family & business in New Braunfels. So now I understand why it might take a while, or they don't answer the phone especially during lunch time. I always recommend this place to everyone either way! Keep up the good Work! PLEASE DONT EVER CLOSE DOWN, New Braunfels loves you! read more
