About Peking Express

Peking Express is a Chinese restaurant located at 514F S Van Dorn St, Alexandria, VA 22304, USA. They can be contacted at (703) 823-2828 or via mobile at +1 703-823-2828.

As a Chinese restaurant offering takeout, Peking Express has received varied feedback from its customers. While one long-time customer reported consistently enjoying their fresh-tasting food, generous portions, and quality, particularly their Beef Broccoli and Mixed Fried Rice, a more recent experience was disappointing. This customer described the Beef Broccoli as mostly broccoli with watery sauce and very little beef, and the Mixed Fried Rice as lacking chicken and beef despite containing prawns. They expressed concern over the inconsistency in food preparation, especially for phone orders, and hoped for improved quality control.

Another customer reported significant issues with the service, stating that they received the wrong order multiple times. On one occasion, this resulted in the inclusion of vegetables they are allergic to, despite clearly stating their allergy multiple times during the phone order. Upon returning the incorrect order, they received a smaller portion with the previously returned (and presumably cold) chicken. This negative experience led them to decide not to order from Peking Express again.

Based on these reviews, Peking Express has shown potential for providing fresh and tasty food with generous portions, as indicated by the positive long-term experience. However, there are also significant concerns regarding consistency in food quality and accuracy in order fulfillment, as highlighted by the negative recent experiences. Local users may want to consider these mixed reviews when deciding to order from Peking Express. Information regarding the restaurant's environment, specific features beyond the mentioned dishes, or any current promotional offers is not available in the provided data.

We have always loved Peking Kitchen/express and frequently order from them because of their fresh taste, generous portions, and consistent quality. Our usual favorite is Beef Broccoli and Mixed Fried Rice, which has always been a great choice. However, our recent experience was quite disappointing. We placed an order over the phone, and unfortunately, the quality did not match our expectations. The Beef Broccoli was mostly broccoli and watery sauce, with barely any beef to be found. It felt like we ordered “Broccoli with beef-flavored water” instead! Similarly, the Mixed Fried Rice did contain prawns, but was missing both chicken and beef, making it far from the balanced dish we expected. Online and phone orders should be handled with more care. Customers trust that they will receive exactly what they pay for, and such inconsistencies can be frustrating. I hope Peking Kitchen takes feedback seriously and improves their quality control. We love their food, but experiences like this make us hesitant to order again.

Service is TERRIBLE, they gave me the wrong order multiple times..I gave them the benefit of the doubt and tried them again and once again the gave me the wrong order adding vegetables that I am allergic to after I explained more than one on the phone while ordering. I repeated the order several times and they still got it wrong. When I returned the order for them to repair it… they removed the cold chicken ( from me having to get home and come back) and put it in a bag with a smaller portion may I add …They just lost a customer because I definitely won’t be eating there again.

Great value for price. Supper fast delivery. After trying resturant first time through UberEats. I stopped by one time for Pickup realized they have their own delivery. Make sure you Support resturant by ordering directly from them, only $1 delivery fee, I always get my food within 20 min of ordering. Driver in silver Toyota always sharp & polite. (Still puts on new gloves & wears mask for every delivery) always working hard. My favorite-Chow Foon Rice Noodles Taiwan or Singapore Style- also great spring & eggroll for only $1.5 each Pad Thai could be better, least favorite is curry chicken. Would love to see a Thai curry on menu maybe a Phanaeng curry. Overall not the best Chinese resturant out there but deserves 5 stars, big portions, good, clean food, always consistent hot & fresh and a five star delivery service that will never miss all for a great price. Value %100

Y'all, the Mongolian beef was straight fire, not spicy, but very flavorful, tender cuts of beef and plenty of it, and if it's not flame-grilled it missed a damn good chance. Fried dumplings were honestly pretty mid but the egg roll was decent and food was delivered piping hot. Overall, great experience. Will definitely try again

The food here is REALLY good. The hot and sour soup tasted really authentic. Highly recommend coming here if you want good takeout chinese food. Don’t let the atmosphere discourage you! The food here is worth it.
