Decent Chinese restaurant in Alexandria. Went to pick it up and just parked on street to run in. The inside of the restaurant seemed like any other Chinese restaurant. The service was very nice. The egg drop soup was a quart vs a pint which was good. The Basil Chicken was really good, could use more basil. read more

We have gotten Shanghai Peking Chinese Restaurant three times in the last two weeks, it is addictive. Really fresh ingredients and thoughtful preparation in this food. Everything is perfect, consistently. We have tried a few different dishes and loved them all. Tonight there were black trumpet mushrooms in my hot and sour soup, it completely knocked my socks off. They just always go the extra step here and we love their food! read more

came in to pick up lunch and my lunch order had a free drink that came with it since it wasn't in the bag I asked for it and the lady in the front started yelling at me. bad experience. I regret spending money that establishment. read more

Very good and reasonably priced local Chinese restaurant. My wife and I enjoyed a number of dishes, including the vegetarian dumplings, and beef with snow peas. read more

This was my 2nd time ordering from Shanghai Peking and the portions are huge. We spent 60 dollars and fed our whole family with leftovers. The food is reasonably priced and when you order takeout it's ready in only 15 minutes. read more

Let me just say, I have had such a hard time getting food delivery in Old Town within estimated time ranges. I've ordered from so many places that have delivered cold or missing food that we very rarely opt out for delivery anymore. This was NOT the case with Shanghai! The food came earlier than expected. It was hot and tasty! I am sure we will order from here again read more

Super friendly people who let us come in 15 min before closing and dine in. The food was fresh and tasty including the beef and chicken dishes (we got a variety). Don't hesitate to order out or drop in for a solid Chinese food offering. read more

The first time I went here, the food was amazing. The next three it was just ok. It's hard to find excellent Chinese outside of New York City read more

Ordered takeout from this restaurant for the first time in years. The order was easy to place and it was done very fast and accurately. This order helped me forget other similar restaurants that I've ordered from lately. The crab rangoons were great, as was the lo-mein. read more

Shanghai Peking is a solid choice for Chinese take-out in the Old Town Alexandria area. You can also dine in if you want too. For takeout, the food always comes hot and faster than most other options. I really like the sesame chicken, broccoli and beef, and beef lo mein. They all heat up really well the next day too. The only item I didn't enjoy as much was the dumplings in red chili because I didn't expect it would have a thick peanut sauce in the bottom, and the chili wasn't as very spicy; the dumplings were good though! What I really appreciate is they also have a special list of menu items that are on the healthy side because it's all steamed. For example, to get my takeout fix while trying to eat more balanced foods, I've enjoyed ordering the steamed chicken with veggies and the steamed shrimp and scallops with asparagus. read more

This is my go to Chinese delivery place and I have been ordering from here for 15 years. The food especially the Moo Shu Chicken and the Cashew Chicken is excellent. Never disappointed. read more

Food is very good. I especially love the way they prepare their crispy calamari.. wish it was an entree.. The spicy basil fried rice is also good Staff is super nice! read more

Food always hot and ready!! Very affordable and they have the best egg rolls. Staff are always friendly as well.

My favorite Chinese delivery in the DMV. Lots of vegan options and the TVP is really tasty. The food is reasonably priced and if you order directly from them (not 3rd party), the food is delivered by the kindest gentleman. I love this place. read more

Best takeout Chinese in South Arlington and Alexandria. We consistently order from them and my kids are always pleased with the spareribs. It is a household favorite to the point we may need to order two next time! read more

Ordered (for delivery) the Chef's Special Crispy Shredded Chicken (F18) which I've never had or seen in any other restaurant. Though the breaded chicken was crispy as described, it was overcooked and very hard to chew. Possibly that was because they used very thinly sliced or shredded chicken. That's too bad, because the sauce that it was coated in was very tasty. But not to worry. I'll order from them again in the future because they have such a varied selection. Just not F18. read more

Only 1.2mile distance, delivery took over 50 minutes, and no flatware(fork or spoon), very very very bad bad bad experience.

Very good American Chinese takeout. Online ordering is a breeze, which I pay when I pickup. They have coupons, spend over a certain amount, get a meat fried rice, etc. The staff are very nice, which is unusual for takeout places. I think you could eat in there but probably for the lunch crowd. We got the sliced fish schezuan style, beef schezuan style, salt and pepper shrimp, and the order came with chicken fried rice. The beef was tender, the shrimp was plump, and the chicken was moist. The fish is typical Chinese hotpot so it ends up melting with the broth. I prefer a firmer fish but definitely very good. The broth is schezuan style though I would like more Mala. Mala is that hot and numbing feeling. I will ask next time. read more

Tasty Chinese food! Quick service, good take out portions. We will be back for good take out.

My favorite for Chinese delivery in Old Town. While the standard dishes are great, I recommend focusing on the Szechwan dishes. Love their wontons in chili oil, chicken with diced hot pepper, and my fave salt and pepper chicken. Delivery is very fast. Usually I receive my order within 20 minutes after ordering. read more

I had the pu pu platter tonight. It was delicious. Oh my goodness! Yummy yummy. I ate the whole think up by myself and this thing was to feed 2 people. Love the chicken fried rice and even... The CHEESE CAKE for dessert!! Yummy yummy! Quick Quick service!! read more

Fast delivery with an abundance of options. Make sure to ask for chop sticks if you need them

I recently ate here and am not sure what I think. The problem is that I think my taste for Chinese food has been replaced with the famous black and white bear restaurant that is really fast. I had the spicy Szechuan pork. It came with a side of rice. First, I felt like there was plenty of food and not just the rice. The pork dish was loaded with pork, carrots and a few other veggies. The rice was in one of those little white boxes. I did not feel that the dish was spicy at all, even though I ordered it so. One of my dinner companions had the Szechuan chicken with medium spice and the other had shrimp. The companion with the chicken was less than satisfied, while the shrimp eater was quite happy with the choice. Again, those dishes were quite full and came with a side of rice. If craving authentic Chinese food, please try this restaurant. However, if you have been acclimated to that fast, bamboo eating bear, you might feel a little disappointed. read more

I ordered through Yelp and this was my first time trying food from this restaurant. I ordered Ma Po Tofu with white rice. They brought my food on time and food was still hot (this is very important to me since I don't care for "not hot not cold" food). However, there was no chopsticks, folks, or spoons in the bag; which is an honest mistake. That isn't the reason why I am only giving one star. When I scoop some tofu out of the container to my personal plate, I saw a piece of hair stuck between tofu! I couldn't help thinking about how unsanitary the kitchen would be. This was a disappointment. My search for a better Chinese place continues. read more

Pretty quick and tasty. Got the chicken wings, came with mumbo sauce, beef chow fun, which was still good as a leftover and shrimp egg foo young. All very tasty. read more

Recommended by a friend and I'm happy they did! Perfect example of your neighborhood Chinese food spot. Everything tastes as you would hope if not better (and not greasy/overly saucy). I ordered honey walnut shrimp, chicken in black bean sauce, and beef chow fun. The shrimp was huge, chicken was on point, and the beef was soo tender. Definitely coming back. Also make sure to ask what coupon your order qualifies for as you get a complimentary dish (got free donuts). read more

I absolutely loved this restaurant. The food was hot and fresh. The spring roll was so hot and crispy. Prices are average. Staff was kind. I will definitely be eating here again. read more

Shanghai Peking is our go-to Friday night dinner. Consistently good food, always piping hot, and great portion sizes for the price. Some of our favorites are: the steak teriyaki, crab Rangoon, basil chicken, shrimp with mixed veggies and moo shu chicken. Definitely more of a take out place, although I've seen people eat in. We order, and it's almost always ready by the time my husband arrives to pickup. They have coupons too for a free item, depending on the total value of what you order. read more

Solid Chinese food! Great taste and perfect if you're craving some takeout. Chicken and snow peas is great for a healthier option, the chicken dishes are awesome, needing to try the beef and seafood ones. The spring rolls and dumplings are delicious and not greasy (for what they are!) Recommend ordering off their site vs Grubhub to avoid up charges. read more

Always good to- tiny complaint is they don't use the right vinegar with their dumplings ... but to food is great, delivery quick and everything arrives hot. read more

Nothing fancy but good, solid Chinese food...Hot and Sour soup was good! Would come back again.

I always hate writing reviews for my favorite places because I don't want them to get so popular that it would be impossible for me to get my food there... but Shanghai Peking has been a solid choice for Chinese food in the DMV area. I've been struggling to find a place that wasn't super far away, super expensive, and delicious, but Shanghai Peking is super quick, provides a good amount of portions and I think the price is right. I really like the Ma Po Tofu, the Broccoli Beef, Lo Mein, Crispy Noodles, Sesame Chicken, and the Hot and Sour soup. There's plenty of other things I've tried that I can't remember in the meantime but I have not had a bad experience here. This local business needs to stay open, as they are a small operation! Do your part to support small business and eat delicious food while doing so! read more

New to the area and had a craving for take-out Chinese food. A local FB group recommended this place. I ordered online and my food was ready and waiting when I arrived 7 minutes later. It was all hot and delicious when we got home. The hot & sour soup had a ton of fresh mushrooms, egg, tofu, and bamboo. The beef noodles were tasty. The one criticism is that the General Tso was a bit too sweet/orangey for us despite ordering it to be "medium hot" All This to say that we will be ordering from here again- just making sure to go for "extra hot" read more
