I've ordered delivery from them twice now while visiting the area. I was hesitant due to some of the negative reviews, but I gave it a try. Pros: Food arrived hot. They got here earlier than promised both times. Great tasting food overall. Cons: I didn't enjoy the flavoring on their broccoli beef, but that is more of a personal taste thing, not their fault. It was a bit expensive, but it made sense why due to the cost of delivery. Overall, I would order from them again if I had the chance. It may not be everyone's favorite, but I don't think they deserve all the 1 star reviews. The lady on the phone does have a thick accent, but she was nice enough. I just had to focus hard on what she said. read more

I really enjoy shrimp not over cooked. The delivery is very friendly. I recommend this especially for locals.

They are very fast on getting your food to you it is hot and fresh And the delivery driver is very nice really enjoy it every time wish they would go back to there older recipe for crab Rangoon though liked the old one more and plz add coconut chicken to the menu read more

Same old Chinese place here. I got carryout, and it was pretty much as expected: lots and lots and LOTS of rice with a little bit of entree and a lot of sauce. This place has been in the same area for several years now, and we used to feel sorry for the owners who spent a lot of money on a lighted outdoor sign which misspelled Peking as "Peiking." So for years we called it the Lao Piking Restaurant. And they've never changed the sign after all these years. I guess they figured out it identified the place, so why spend the money? Inside was fairly run down, and the staff was brusque and businesslike. I was happy to take my food and go. But I wished I had gone elsewhere. The food was okay, but only just. And all the rice went outside for the birds and squirrels, as I don't really care for plain white rice. With as much Chinese carryout as I buy, the leftover containers of rice tend to stack up in my freezer managing to hide the food I might actually eat someday. At least with Panda Express you can substitute noodles or greens for the rice. Noodles I'll eat. Someday I'm going to walk into a Chinese restaurant and say, "Just give me the entree and the fortune cookie. Forget about the rice." So I can clearly see just how little I'm getting for my $8-14 entree and cookie. Maybe that will cure me of my Chinese carryout habit. Anyway, this place is not recommended, and I won't be back unless I'm desperate for my Chinese food fix. read more

My first visit to Lao Peking. Take out order was hot and ready when I got there. People were very friendly. And the food was good. What else can you ask for? I'll go back. read more

I normally would call this the home for my Chinese cravings. After tonight never again. I have a note on my orders that says I'm highly allergic to all fish and seafood. Cannot have it cooked with my food. And I cannot have it in my home. However tonight for some reason there was shrimp in my sweet and sour chicken. And yes we order the same way every time. No changes. So this is just a way to lose yet another customer. And my friends and family will stop as well. read more

This is the best Chinese food in the area. Twice cooked pork is really good. Hunan chicken is perfect. Hot and sour soup is the best I've had! read more

We have been eating here for years. Absolutely love everything we get. My personal favorites are the broccoli beef and the cashew chicken. The crab Rangoons are delicious. Not open for dine in but this is our go to take out place. read more

Do not order food from this restaurant . They delivered me the wrong food and refused to deliver me the right food without me buying more food . They also put very little protein in their delivery . read more

Love their food. You might have to wait a bit on Friday and Saturday to get your order so order early and it's worth it. You can put a tip for the driver on your bill. Enjoy! read more

Food was horrible, I had combination fried rice and egg drop soap. The soup wasn't edible. It had no flavor and looked to be nothing but corn starch water. The fried rice had very little meat and zero flavor. I will never eat here again. There are much better choices in Independence for Chinese food. read more

Huge portions for the price and every time I've had food delivered it arrives faster than promised. They pack everything very well and it always tastes fresh. read more

This is my favorite to order delivery chinese food. They bring the food hot and fresh very quickly. They are very friendly and the order is always right. read more

Delicious food. Waiter was a charming and efficient 12 year old. Weed-filled cracks in the parking area, and some deteriorated (but painted) wood on the front. Interior is clean and furniture is in good shape. We thoroughly enjoyed everything we ordered. Either overlook or decide to appreciate the idiosyncrasies and you will experience an enjoyable meal. read more

Lao Peking is my favorite Chinese restaurant. While the atmosphere isn't perfect, but the food more than makes up for it. All the vegetables in the dishes are fresh. read more

They make every order fresh upon receipt of order, which I like. Been coming here for years! Their Moo Goo Gai Pan is fantastic. The chicken is so tender it almost melts in your mouth! They can modify your level of spicy if you like and I always get mine a "little spicy" and it gives it just the right amount of heat. I haven't been disappointed in anything received from this family run business! read more

Best carry-out in the area. Food is consistently good. Delivery always prompt and staff always friendly.

The food used to be so good - now not so much. I always order the Szechuan and it wasn't spicy at all and I asked that the baby corn and bamboo to be left out - well it wasn't. I asked them to add snow peas - and they didn't. The containers used to be full, now they are half. Usually there are a lot of vegetables and sauce - just onions, some beef, a couple of mushrooms, some water chestnuts, a little green pepper and the two items I asked to 86. Also one entre was missing. I was so disappointed because I was looking forward to this. I have no idea when I will patronize again. :( read more

We came upon this place by accident on the way to the Truman Library and Museum. We were starving after a long drive and just ordered quick takeout of shrimp and broccoli. It was very well done, excellently flavored, full of jumbo shrimp and served up quickly. Being well-acquainted with Chinese food, our standards are high. Lao Peking did not disappoint us at all. read more

We have been going to Lao Peking's for almost 10 years now, and we have always gotten fantastic food. We always get carry-out or delivery, as the portions are much better in those options than the in-house options. The food is always hot and delicious, and we always have leftovers to enjoy the next day. We've never had any issues with the staff or the service we've received, and we will continue to eat here until they decide to close their doors. SO GOOD! read more

Yelpers, you have led me astray again. Lao Peking is typical greasy, underwhelming Chinese food. The Empress Chicken was soggy and not at all spicy; The Twice Baked Chicken had so much cabbage that you could hardly find the three tiny pieces of chicken; the egg rolls tasted like they had gone south. Anyone who would rate this place favorably needs to get their taste buds checked. :-/ read more

I have ordered several times from Lao Peking. I generally get the same entree shrimp & vegetables in a brown sauce. In the past I have never had any issues. I ate one shrimp from the order I placed on 1/1/19 it had a horrible taste, and if you smelled the entree it had a cat urine smell. Needless to say it will be a very long time before I eat chinese food again. And I will definitely stay clear from the restaurants in Independence Missouri!! read more

The best Chinese in the area. Very good, wide delivery area and not costly. My wife and I haven't found great Chinese since our move to the area and luckily we have now, they have our business moving forward. read more

The food was excellent, alot of food for the price and the delivery was crazy fast! Will order again!

Excellently cooked. Delicious & consistent. Only drawback is that they don't take AMX.

I like this small Chinese place and usually visit in the evening for a nice, relaxing dinner. I like their crab rangoons, hot and sour soup, chicken fried rice, Egg Foo Young, and Moo Goo Gai Pan. The restaurant is not what you'd call fancy but the food is pretty good and is served hot without having to wait for a long time. The restaurant is located at a convenient location--right on Sterling and close to Truman Road and 24 Highway. I highly recommend their Almond Chicken for lunch or dinner. This dish has fresh almond, celery. and carrots with delicious white sauce on top. The serving of the main dishes is pretty generous, but I often have to ask for extra steamed rice to go with my entree. read more

This is our favorite. Chinese place they have excellent shrimp fried rice and great lomein they also have steamed dishes they are an excellent value for chinese sometimes i make it last 2 meals only down side (dont want to sound culturally insensitive) sometimes the people are short and rude when it comes to customer service, this is not about the younger people they have there it seems like a family run business and dining in gets you smaller portions for the same price read more

We order from here when we want Chinese delivered. We have never been disappointed. Delivery is usually pretty fast and friendly. My favorites are the Orange chicken, and sesame chicken. I've dined in a few times as well and have always had a good experience. read more

Small neighborhood place that has nice food. It has a big take out Business. (I usually get it take out) I will in the future after the rude waitress we had tonight! 4 star food with 1 star service. Very disappointed. read more

One of my favorite Chinese places in Independence. Excellent fried Dumplings, a great mushu chicken and standard crab rangoon. As far as sushi goes the Lao Peking roll, Independence roll and the Dragon roll are all good options. The only reason I didn't give them 5 stars, the sushi is not quite as good as it used to be, but still not bad. read more

This is the best in my area for delivery! Always get the order right-always polite and they are fast fast fast! Rarely does it take more than 15 min from order to delivery arrival. read more

I am very Disappointed ,aNd Dissatisfied they Refuse to Deliver without an explanation..... They obviously care a lot!!!!! I am never going there again!!!! read more

I have ordered food for delivery from here several times and dined inside there as well. I have never been dissatisfied or not liked my food. The delivery is pretty quick and always friendly. The combination lo mein is good, my boyfriend loves the generals chicken, and we always get crab Rangoon. I have read the reviews for this place and some of them are ridiculously critical. If your looking for a meal that's going to change your life..probably not gonna find it here..lol..but if your looking for good averagely priced Chinese food in Independence then this is the place. read more

We have been ordering from here since 2015 when we moved to Independence. We were always pleased with it (nothing earth shattering but consistent) this past weekend we decided to look on door dash- checked the menu there but ordered direct because we would rather give the delivery fee to the restaurant. The Door Dash menu had items they don't sell...and the lady was kind of rude about it. Then the order gets to us: NO RICE was sent...so a Chinese restaurant that doesn't give you rice...huh. I was annoyed but just made rice for my husband. I got the wonton soup- it was awful. It tasted like hot pasta water. NO flavor at all and the wontons were all torn up so there were like two pieces of the meat filling and the rest was empty torn up wonton dough. We WILL NOT ORDER AGAIN. No flavor and missing items= ordering from somewhere else because with Door Dash and Grub Hub we are not just limited to your delivery anymore. Something has changed and we are done. read more

Moo Shu pretty good, but the sauce is too runny and thinned out. The sweet and sour sauce isn't that good, but the chicken portion of it was good. The Moo Goo Gai Pan was pretty good. I would eat there again, but it isn't the best I've had. read more

Orange chicken is the best but ask for any extra soy sauce is like you just killed someone

Eh. Laopeking. The Denny's of Chinese food. Rude employees, not so good service. Food is somewhat good if you're hungry and is right down the road. However if you can go the extra miles head somewhere else. Plenty of other American Chinese places to dine, and this is one of my least recommended. Food is often cold, and when it's not it is scorching hot. The delivery woman is quite nice, and she arrives promptly. Overall, head to a different place. You can find better food and better service for a better price within a few miles of this one. read more

Everything I ordered was good! Good portions, taste, delivered on time. The only thing that prevented me from 5 stars is that I am an egg foo young junkie and love the brown sauce! There was enough just not a lot, and I like a lot. Definitely will order from here again. All was very good and I am very satisfied. read more

The food is great! However the lady at the front is rude and hateful. She has resting bitch face!! The atmosphere is better when she's not here!! I suggest take out. I give the food 4 stars. read more
