I found the food a little bit too greasy and bland, but my friends loved their crab ragoon and sweet and sour chicken.

Good food and service and they remember your order !!! Food was hot and fresh plus the crab rangoon was hot and perfect! read more

Lian Wang Chinese Restaurant - Lunch special chicken lomein very good! - Chinese Near Me - Pekin, Illinois

Review Visit: February 2nd, 2013 A Chinese restaurant by any other name has the same exact menu. Lian Wang, like many other restaurants of the same nature, offers the same thing that every other carry-out Chinese restaurant offers. I am in no way saying that that is a bad thing. In fact, I am a lover of these hole-in-the-wall style restaurants. Servings tend to be large and prices more than affordable. Lian Wang is no different. Situated in a strip mall in that strange area between Creve Coeur and Pekin known as... North Pekin... Lian Wang serves up your typical fast Chinese. With a menu that you've seen at a million other Chinese restaurants, you'll more than likely find what you are looking for without much issue. Having been here a few times since 2013, I can say that the food and service are great upon repeated visits. The person that took my order was the same each time and she started to get what I wanted down to a 'T'. While I stand aside and wait for my food to come out, I notice that the cashier has half of the area's orders memorized. Almost each customer that came in was offered with the remark of "the usual"? Now that is quite the memory. Like I said, Lian Wang offers nothing new or exciting but that is exactly what you get with these kinds of places. Familiar menu items and familiar tastes at prices that are super affordable. If you like these kinds of places, Lian Wang won't disappoint. read more

Lian Wang's has great food and service that is amazing. They truly know how to take care of the customer, which is why I love it so much. I used to live in MQ Heights, so I would go more often. Highly recommend! read more

It was closed, maybe permanently. We ended up eating at Applebee's, which was OK. In the small town of Pekin Illinois, there are not many good choices. read more

You could improve by not frying the chicken 2 weeks ahead then pouring nasty sauce on it and calling it general tso lol..bright yellow rice ?? Wtf is that ..do not eat here , you're better off going to a bad Chinese buffet ...but what can you expect from a place that has 250 choices on the menu lol..you know theyre aren't making anything fresh read more

Wonderful plate, woman great food have five stars excellent food and the dog sake excellent food I can say excellent food buddy says it doesn't all I say is read more

I picked up my first order today at Lian Wang and am so glad I stopped there. I've eaten at a handful of other Chinese food places around the area, but this is my new go to! They were so kind and welcoming. The food was top notch and the best I've had so far around here. Thanks for a great lunch and dinner to all the staff. read more

This is the closest Chinese place to my dad's and he frequents here a lot. It's not my favorite. The crab rangoons has way too many green onions in it. The egg rolls have sooo much cabbage and its barely cooked on top of that so its just a bunch of raw crunchy cabbage in a fried wrapper. The chicken in my chicken and broccoli had a weird consistency to it. It also had no flavor. The lo main was ok once you add soy sauce to it. read more

Lovely little place. Good food. Reasonable. Fast service. Friendly staff. Locally owned.

The best. I am happy I live close. Greasy fried rice is my pet peeve. Absolutely not here! Everything I have ordered has been perfect.

Great food! Super nice and friendly staff, great location as well. Very clean . I'm excited to go back and try something new!

Friendly staff, great food and portions are generous. I order garlic broccoli chicken and it's so good. Highly recommend. Service is quick as well read more

This place is the best ever. Food and service number one. Family is super friendly and hard working. Thanks again !!!!

My wife and I have been going there for a few years now. Service is always great, she always remembers us and what we ordered last time. The food is great and she always very friendly. The egg rolls are one my favorites. read more

This restaurant doesn't care about their customers. My fiance and I ordered dinner for his daughter and the food was undercooked stale and had hair in the egg rolls.. the crab Rangoon was so nasty all grease inside barely any of the crab and cream cheese mixture. the chicken curry was basically Ramen noodle seasoning and when we talked to the manager he was very argumentative and wasn't the least bit concerned about his customers well being apparently.. highly do not recommend ordering from this place read more

The Mongolian Beef was terrible. It was too much brown sauce and the steak tasted and smelled bad! We threw the whole thing in the garbage. The spring rolls were edible but not good. We will never go there again. Don't get takeout. read more

Great food. The owner is incredibly sweet & always makes a point to remember her customers. She is such a delight. The food is ready quickly & is always hot & fresh. I usually get Sesame Chicken, Fried Rice, or Lo Mein but if I decide to venture from my norm it's always good. I feel like I get a good value when I order here & will continue to come back. read more

really good food great service and great people there very friendly. but overall i don't have anything else to say!!!

Food is always hot and delicious! I order delivery at least 1-2 a month from here because they are one of the few Chinese restaurants around here who have fresh food and not still frozen. I will upload a photo of the menu since this page is lacking it. read more

They have such nice staff and have never gotten my order wrong which is something i experience a lot. Amazing food and a good amount of it for an even better price. They deserve to have more business. Lian Wang is my fav to get and i really recommend it :) read more

Love this chinese place. Best chinese food in pekin. They got all the chinese buffets in town beat by a landslide. Not the fanciest place but the food outweighs that. The owners are also very gracious and respectful. I gotta point out that the egg rolls are to die for. You won't be disappointed. read more

Lian Wang Chinese Restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Pekin, Illinois

This is my favorite Chinese restaurant, and I love Chinese food. I use to live close to them and was there quite a bit. I moved to Arizona then came back to the area. What was the first restaurant I went to? It was Lian Wang. I usually get Shrimp Lo Mein. It was perfectly cooked and quite a few shrimp in there also. In fact more the other Chinese places. It's a family run Restaurant and you can see the entire family there from time to time. I've actually seen the children grow up. You'll love the restaurant do yourself a favor and try it read more

The food that ordered was the worst l ever had. I had to throw it away because it was terrible. The sauce was terrible.

First time here, the owner was courteous and had the food ready in 20 minutes. We had the Broccoli beef, the broccoli chicken, vegetable Lo Mein, the crab meat rangoons (yum!) and eggrolls. For Central Illinois, this is a pretty good spot for casual chinese. Highly recommend! read more

After reading other reviews, my wife and I were excited about trying this restaurant. It was indeed popular as a takeout place given most of the tables were occupied with people waiting for their takeout food. Also, the very friendly lady who runs the place was on a first name basis with many of those customers. The service was good, and the main lady running the place was very busy but quite friendly at the same time. However, the food that we received had no flavor. We got the Hunan Beef and pork fried rice. Both were very bland. Now, pork fried rice isn't usually bursting with flavor, but this truly had none. The Hunan Beef is usually a bit more flavorful, but it was also very bland. There is a sign at the counter where you order that indicates to tell them if you want your food spicy. We didn't want spicy so we didn't say anything. However, I now think if you want any flavor in your food, say you want it spicy. Bottom line, VERY friendly people, VERY bland food. I doubt if we'll be back. Makes me kind of sad. read more

Food is good. used to be my goto place to order food. a few bad experiences ruined it for me. I ordered a meal to be delivered that cost me $30 i thought that was crap but didnt say anything and ate my food anyways. We ordered again the next day for delivery the SAME EXACT order and it cost $19. I was furious that they charged me an extra $11 the night before. Then the food was not fully cooked, we called to inform them that i was given raw chicken and the lady who was on the phone started yelling at us saying she would not serve us again, we were just bad mouthing her food, and that we were bad for business. We ordered at least 3-4 times a month so i dont understand how we were bad for business. Never will order from here again. read more

The owner is really nice. She always remembers me. The food is better than any of those buffet places around, and the prices are fair. The atmosphere's not so great though. There's not many tables because it's a small place, but I always get carryout anyway. They deliver too! read more

I'm new in town & I ordered a simple meal. Chicken, rice, and crab ragoon, it was delicious and I'll be back for more! The owner was very nice and asked me questions about the Chinese food in St. Louis lol. read more

I feel so bad rating this a 3 because inside was clean and the people were very friendly. The food i ordered was good and the vegetables in the dishes were very crisp but the actual spices in both dishes was lacking. My appetizer of Ramaki (bacon wrapped chicken livers and water chestnuts) was very good. If you like chicken livers then you will like this simple starter. The first dish ordered was Bean Curd Family Style. This was suppose to be a hot and spicy dish in an oyster sauce with veggies. The tofu at Golden Kitchen is alot better and this dish was far from spicy....actually absolutely no spice at all! Do they think Americans are total wimps on these things? Well, some are but put some spices in it if the menu calls for it. This is the same for my other dish Szechaun Chicken! No heat to it at all! Come on it says SZECHAUN people! There was not one pepper in it and i thought usually the chicken was crispy in this dish.?. The ingredients were fresh and everything was put together well but i just wanted more flavor and definitely heat! Just was expecting more. read more

Best "Chinese" around... The owner has photographic memory too so she always remembers if u like some thing a certain way. Piping hot! Made as ordered! read more

Best ever General Tso's Chicken. Try it best service and great food. One of my favorites for sure.

This place is great, never have had a bad meal here! If you want your dish spicy just ask for it extra spicy, that's what i do and they make it happen. read more

Our favorite place for Chinese. We both had combo plates that included fried rice & spring roll. I had pork & Chinese vegetables and wife had cashew chicken. Both were delicious and good portions. I managed to finish mine and wife had nice portion for lunch next day. The family that runs it are always friendly and it is clean. read more

Ive only known about this place a little over a year and this place is great! The food is always so fresh and tastes amazing. The owner is really nice too. She remembers my order every time and even knows me when I call! They are fast and always courteous. I love this place! read more

I ordered delivery and was not allowed to use a $4 off coupon (if you order $25). My order was $40, the delivery took 45 minutes and I am one mile away from the restaurant. I have had much better food at other chinese restaurants. I complained to the delivery driver....so while I am eating the restaurant calls several times...I don't answer because I am eating....Later I call and they put me on hold...I hang up because I was just calling back...then they call 2 more times and never leave a message. Customer Service is so poor....I will not order again. read more

This place is my go to for Chinese cuisine. The owner remembers you and knows who you are when you call. Food is always great and arrives hot when delivered. Fast and friendly delivery as well. I agree with another reviewer regarding the spicy dishes. They aren't spicy. You have to tell them you want it super spicy. Other than that, great food and service. read more
