Peking

It’s hit or miss at this place. I’ve been ordering from them for about five years and Sometimes the food is amazing and other times terrible. The last few times that I have ordered shrimp fried rice, there were maybe five shrimp on top and that’s all. Or the rice is so hard, it tastes like it’s old or something. I used to love the spring rolls and now they taste terrible. I have on several occasions thrown the food away bc I couldn’t eat it, it was so bad.

This place had great food! But the time it takes to order to eat is always insane! If you want Peking Chinese then you need to order way in advance. My family and i have gone to this place multiple times and always have a 45+ min wait. I think the absolute quickest was 30 minutes. This isn't the place to go to when you all of sudden feel like Chinese food last minute. We ordered at home,drove there (15-20 minutes out) and still waited for our food for another 20-25 minutes. I wish I could say because it's Christmas eve, but like i said all times and all different days this seems to be the norm. If you plan early then the food is worth it. Last minute, then it isn't worth it. 2 stars for atmosphere because tables are sticky, they don't bring food to you. It's basically "take-out" with the option to eat in. No refills on drinks. It's all bottled water, canned soda, tea, etc. 3 stars for service because the cashiers are friendly. But like I said no waiters/waitresses or anything like that.

We stopped in for lunch on Saturday, Late afternoon. They had a couple pickups going out, but not super busy. I get the feeling this is mostly a take out place, so I ask if we can eat in, and she said yes, but they don't have table service. We ordered Dumplings, wonton soup, egg rolls, crab Rangoon, pepper steak, and honey shrimp. Everything was delicious. The sauce on the honey shrimp was a little thicker than I expected, but still yummy. The kids all enjoyed their meals. Reasonable prices for everything, super fast preparation. Overall very satisfied.

I had the Wonton Soup and C12. Sweet & Sour Chicken Combination Plate. It was absolutely fantastic. Their roast pork is outstanding, it had a really fantastic flavor to it and wasn’t like most places where it’s really bland. The fried rice was the best I've had in the area since my old favorite closed. The breading on the chicken tasted really really great it wasn't bland dough around chicken at all. It was cooked perfectly, no raw dough and crispy. Hands down best local Chinese food in Chesapeake by a wide margin out of the maybe 8 restaurants I've tried.

We are from out of town, visiting with relatives & stopped here to get a bite to eat, in the rainy weather. There were several people in front of me waiting on their order when we placed ours. We didn't have to wait long for our order either. Food was hot and fresh. Restaurant was empty in the dining area, unsure if it was open for dining? We didn't ask. Everything was clean and tidy.
