Chinese Restaurant

This place is an absolute disgrace. The food is disgusting—cold, flavorless, and downright inedible. That coconut chicken? It was so vile I almost puked on the spot. The whole restaurant is filthy; it looks and smells like a health inspector’s worst nightmare. The staff is just as pathetic—our server was rude, lazy, and clearly hated her job. How is this place even open? There’s NOTHING good to say about it. If you like wasting your money and risking food poisoning, go ahead. Otherwise, avoid Peking Chinese Restaurant like the plague. It’s the definition of garbage.

Service was great, but the food was some of the most subpar I have ever tasted. The only thing that wasn't soggy or bland was the noodles. The chicken on a stick I'm convinced was just seasoned with red food coloring, it was that tasteless.

How can reviews be so different? Not only did we stand around five minutes ignored until we finally decided to seat ourselves, but the place is dismal in appearance. We should have gone with our gut feeling to just leave. Yes, prices are "good," unless you realize you're paying for awful food. I'm sure this is a little mom and pop place, but it's dreadful. It is served nicely, looks good, tastes....no. THIS is considered the best Chinese food in Cruces? Cruces has NO decent Chinese food, none. I ate some of the vegetables out of the (bland) Curried Chicken, but the greasy little plops of chicken made me nauseated. I am giving two stars because I don't have the heart to give it just one. It looks like it's on its last legs. Once we obeyed the unwritten "seat yourself" rule, the staff came over and were very pleasant. But nice staff can't improve the meal.

Staff friendly and food was delicious and plentiful. Had chicken chow mein lunch special for $5. Very good, nice atmosphere, small but quaint.

Best Chinese restaurant in Las Cruces. We love it.

They give decent amount of food, whether single entree or combos. Always tastes fresh and they offer a fair selection of options. I wish they had more dishes with rice noodles. Never disappointed with any of the different orders we've tried so far.

Don't go here . They are shady and add tips a day after you go through their drive through without you putting it on the receipt. They charged me the correct amount at the drive through, they even sent a receipt with us. Then today I get a notification that they added a dollar tip to the transaction!! For a drive through order for a combo B!!!!!! Who does that. That is fraudulent dishonest and illegal. They did not have my approval to ads on a dollar tip at all. For what? They did not bring my food out to me, it's a drive through. Don't go here they are scammers and if I had knowledge of doing the tip FINE but to do it with my card a day later, that's NOT OK. The picture is a text I got exactly a day later showing the updos the tip. You can see the original receipt that I never added a tip on, they did it themselves after the fact🤮🤮🤮I blocked them on my card, shame on them.

Great Asian food for good price. The restaurant itself has a retro style to it.

Food was spectacular, especially the fried rice and crab Rangoon. Service was very expedient, I got my crab Rangoon appetizer before I even ordered my main entree. Now the walls probably need painted and some decor needs updating, but other than that it was a fantastic experience. In and out within 30 minutes. Would give it a 4.5 star rating if I could.

They do their own delivery, and I think that improves the experience a lot. The food is always good. I've ordered from here at least 20 times, so I can say it's consistent. I will order again.

We come here once a week and the service is always amazing. Food quality and temperature is also very good. I also love the buffet style layout.

Love this place I drive from Lead to come get food always good and the service is great.

Stopped in for a late lunch and got the cashew chicken with wonton soup. My husband got the sweet and sour chicken with sweet and sour soup. There was a lot of celery in my cashew chicken, and I cannot eat celery, plus the taste was bland. However, I would definitely stop in here again. The egg rolls were so good! Some of the best I've eaten. Service is friendly and fast. *To note: there is NO buffet. This place popped up when I searched Chinese buffet, so just a heads up.

The food is decent but the customer service is terrible. The lady at the counter was very rude and cut us off several times while trying to order. The restaurant wasn’t busy and there wasn’t a line which dumbfounds me even more. Better options with courteous service around.

Street delivery

They changed owners. The food is completely different. Fried rice is now light brown with no onions nothing. While ordering on the phone they make you order large to have it as a “comb” but don’t explain the comb. The chicken broccoli and general tso chicken is completely drenched in sauce making the chicken soggy. Fries are very skinny , can barley taste the potato. Very sad that this place is no longer the same.

This had been my favorite Chinese take out for several yrs. However, 2 orders ago I noticed a dramatic change (June 2023). The food was noticeably inferior. Pork egg rolls have 0 pork, and are smaller. And, the food just tasted mediocre. I decided to order again, and asked if there had been a change. The answer was "yes". I believe ownership has changed hands. Sadly, I will no longer be able to brag about this place. I can get the current quality anywhere.

Excellent Chinese food. We had 3 vegetarian dishes. The tofu was incredibly soft, and the eggplant was melt-in-your-mouth delicious. I will come here again for food.

I will say this because I am in the restaurant business myself: people will ALWAYS come back if the food is GREAT. Not okay. Not good. But GREAT. With that in mind, I will say that the food is OKAY at best. I have been here twice already and ordered TO GO both times. When I got home and tried out the dish there was ZERO TASTE. The shrimp in the dish was VERY TASTY but the rest of the dish had no flavor at all. Nothing. I guess I could have added my own salt at home. On the plus side the dish had a lot of FRESH VEGETABLES which is a GREAT THING. The portions are HUGE, so it’s clear that they want to make the guest happy. The other issue is that the first time I was there I asked for the dish to be make extra spicy but it was NOT spicy at all and had ZERO FLAVOR. Instead the chef threw in a lot of dried red Chinese peppers, which somehow did NOT make the dish spicy. So I realized what the chef did. He made the dish not caring if it was spicy or not and THEN threw in the dried red Chinese peppers at the last minute. No problem. The SECOND TIME I asked for the same dish and again asked for it to be made extra spicy. And AGAIN the same dish had NO FLAVOR, ZERO TASTE. But this time the chef didn’t put any dried red Chinese peppers at all!!! He just completely forgot. He FORGOT OR DID NOT care to make it spicy AND also did not put any dried red Chinese peppers in the dish. When I looked at the ticket stapled to the paper bag it CLEARLY said at the bottom to make the dish spicy. So the problem at this restaurant is the chef, judging from all the bad reviews I have read. The girls at the counter who take the order are SUPER FRIENDLY and the food comes out VERY FAST. Fatima Halal needs to do something about the interior decor of the restaurant. YES, it IS a VERY CLEAN restaurant, and even though the place is small they do have a few good tables to sit at. The inside of the place looks so so. They have a good reputation from before. But reputation alone is not good enough to keep a business successful. The MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR is the food. I honestly think that salt seems to be missing from their dishes. To the restaurant’s credit they DID give me a small HOT CHILI OIL to go, and when I got home I realized that THIS was the missing flavor in my dish. They should prepare some of their hot and spicy dishes WITH CHILI OIL WHEN THEY ARE MAKING THE DISH and not have to give it on the side!!!! I really hope that the owner reads the reviews because the complaints about NO FLAVOR AND NO TASTE really is true. The place has a big heater and it’s warm and cosy inside during the winter. I honestly don’t care about the prices and that it’s only cash. That’s fine. They DO give plenty of food and the food comes out very fast. Also the vegetables are fresh and the dishes have plenty of them. I think the bigger problem here is the chef. I have a feeling that he just throws the ingredients in the cooking pan and hopes for the best. This restaurant CAN be a good place to eat GREAT food, but the OWNER has to do something about it. The OWNER has to take one day off and with the help of three other employees all of them should taste EACH AND EVERY DISH in the kitchen to see what the issues are and what needs to be fixed. I know of a friend who owns one of the most successful restaurants in the city and she closed the restaurant for one day and tasted all the dishes with three employees and they fixed all the issues. They have been in business for over forty five years. Fatima Hallal is not a bad place. But it’s not a great place either. The problem is that there are many other choices that are NOT Chinese with the same prices that offer far better food. As far as being a Chinese restaurant it is not better than most similar restaurants. But if you were to go to Flushing near Main Street and Roosevelt then the choice of Chinese restaurants with tastier and much more delicious food within the same price category increases. Fatima Halal needs to do just ONE THING. Improve the flavor and taste of the food.

This is your usual neighborhood Chinese restaurant. The food is nothing to write home about but the service and speed of which you get your food is quite quick and everything is hot and fresh. All in all this is a great restaurant for my neighborhood that shouldn’t be looked over

Typical casual Chinese restaurant. They are not on delivery apps so I either go in to pick up or I call them and pay cash upon delivery. The staff are always very welcoming and nice and the food is affordable and the delivery is fast. I order from here a lot. We get a variety of foods and it’s all be really tasty and cooked well. I noticed they don’t have their menu online so I am attaching it here.

The place doesn't seem like much at first glance, but the food and bubble tea there are quite delicious! I recommend their spicy fried rice and fruit flavored teas.

Definitely the best Chinese restaurant around the neighborhood. The owner is very nice too!
