Spent a day Lexington for work-related purposes and needed to find a good place for lunch. Originally, I was gonna stop by a Tropical Smoothie Cafe nearby, but then I saw this spot, and changed my mind. I hadn't had good Chinese in a bit so I decided to check it out. Glad I did because the service was excellent, the food was very delicious, the atmosphere was pretty laid back, and price on their lunch specials were nice too. I went with the cashew chicken lunch special with a bowl of hotsour soup. You order at the counter and they bring it to you once it's ready. My soup came first and it was so good that I tipped the bowl and drank the rest of the broth at the bottom. My cashew chicken was great too and they definitely didn't skimp on the portions. I thought I was gonna have some left over but it was too good to stop eating. This was an excellent find for a lunch stop. I'd absolutely go back if I'm in the area again. read more

I really wanted to recommend this place as some of the reviews said it was Family beyond. Obviously a small family owned restaurant is to be revered so so I ordered sweet-and-sour which was fantastic soup it was great top of the line. I also ordered hunan prawn It was awful. Just a lot of onions are really tiny amount of green pepper and prawns. Everything about this dish was wrong and I'm so sad to say, despite the kind lady who runs the front of the house - I can't give this a lower recommendation than one star. read more

Great food. Friendly staff. A little pricy, but it is extra good. The rice is so clean and non greasy.

I am glad to find this place. I just moved to this area and looking for a place to order hot food that is not a chain restaurant or fastfood. Just a place to order quick to go for family dinner when I don't feel like cooking or too much deadline at work. I decided to try this place even though there are some not good ratings in here. I am glad I gave it a try. The food tastes fresh. The portion is generous. The container is well packed. I did not have a chance to eat it right away, but when I got home, nothing spilled and everything still looked very nice and delicious. So if you are looking for homemade food. Give this place a try. They don't use msg so if you are looking for that type of flavor maybe this is not the place. But for homemade and fresh food for family this is the place. The owner is very nice and did not try to over sell you her food. She gave good suggestion. My order was Mongolian beef, Sautéed mixed vegetables with tofu, egg plants, beef and shrimp fried rice. They are all delicious. My kids love the food. read more

Amazing food. Good service too. I would normally recommend something but honestly everything I've tried was good

Good food. Even better service. Thanks for staying open after hours to serve us! The orange chicken and beef lo mein were delicious

I picked up food here for a late lunch, which was delicious. I ordered beef lo mein and chicken with ginger sauce. I thoroughly enjoyed my lo mein so quickly when I took it to-go and ate at the park that's close by. The place can be found in a shopping center close to Kroger and has plenty of parking spots. The interior of this restaurant is homely. The service for to-go orders was quick as well. It only took 10 minutes for my orders to be ready for pick-up. read more

This is our favorite restaurant in Lexington. The service is outstanding and the owner is so kind. She knows our names and our orders. Their tofu dishes are without a doubt the best around. Their egg rolls and spring rolls are amazing and so crispy. Don't sleep on this place! read more

Such tasty beef fried rice! Sandy, one of the owners, is very friendly and engaging. I got a take out order, and the food was prepared quickly. A completely satisfying experience. I'll definitely be back. read more

Me and my homie coming here at least once a week and it's bussin! Great customer service and to die for food! No line and great service I recommend the egg drop soup read more

New Peking Bistro - N5. Beef Lo Mein Mongolian Beef and Chicken - Chinese Near Me - Lexington, Kentucky

It's been a long time since we last visited Santi and her wonderful restaurant in Beaumont, but let me tell you...we missed her kindness, passion, and wonderful food. She made us Mooshu Chicken and Singapore Meifun and as always her Chicken Dumplings which deserve a Michelin Star by themselves! She does it the best in Lexington and even has folks from Hazard where her old shop was coming here for her amazing food. read more

New Peking Bistro - Mooshu Chicken and Singapore Meifun - Chinese Near Me - Lexington, Kentucky

First time ordering and won't again. Ordered the Szechuan beef and orange chicken. Neither meal was very good. Not much beef, mostly carrots, and beef was just hot. Chicken was overdone. For the price I could have done better at home. Probably worst I have had here in Lexington read more

We got take out for the family and it couldn't have been worse! The fried rice tasted just like regular rice with soy sauce, no egg, no vegetables and no flavor. My orange chicken was burnt, hard as a rock and the sauce was dark brown with no taste. The general tso chicken was also burnt and the meat was tough, and the sauce tasted like bbq sauce. Will never go back here. read more

Even though this place look like take out but some times in the menu are well cooked and have some authenticity. The place is also clean and good to dine in. read more

The sesame chicken ( chicken??? Or dried mule ) was disgusting, truly disgusting, soaking in a sauce which could turn one's stomach. I would only suggest this restaurant to someone I truly wished not long for on this Earth. As I haven't yet met someone so vile, I suggest saving money ( 2 meals for nearly $60! A total ripoff) and finding a smaller Chinese place. Hopefully you will eat what was once chicken.. I give the fried rice one star read more

It's a little restaurant in a strip mall. If no one is out front, ring the bell. You can place your order to go or eat in the clean and comfortable dining room. I don't know when I have been so warmly greeted in a restaurant. The cook was also our server, and I believe she must also be the owner. If not, she definitely deserves a raise. She proudly pointed out her most popular dishes and recommended we try the Chicken Dumplings as an appetizer. We had Mongolian Beef, Orange Chicken and of course the dumplings. It was all delicious. I am not a huge fan of Chinese food, but I am definitely a fan of this little place. I have a feeling I will be craving the Mongolian Beef regularly. The New Peking Bistro should not be missed. read more

Amazing place! Food is delicious, hot and fresh and it's in large portions too! My favorites are the Mongolian Beef, General Tso Chicken, and the chicken dumplings because they are huge and made in house! It is located next to Kroger in Beaumont Center Circle, so plenty of parking. (pro tip: weekday lunch w/ soup and spring roll is a steal for less than $10 read more

This is my second time going to this Peking and it has not disappointed me either time! The food is amazing as well as the service. They are super helpful, patient and welcoming. I highly recommend checking it out! read more

We didn't realize they got a new owner (from Indonesia) since we're in the neighborhood so just walked in for a nice Chinese dinner. Got both orders in extremely tiny paper plates plus only one white rice in another tiny and shallow disposable bowl. Food is okay but Charged over $3 for one hot tea (with 5 cents tea bag lol) Very disappointed and definitely our first and last visit read more

Excellent all the way around! Had the house made dumplings and sauce--perfection! Salt and pepper chicken my husband ordered--tasty! Mongolian beef and chicken for my son--scrumptious. Moo goo gai pan shared between my daughter and me--lovely (tiny bit bland). The owner is delightful, friendly, eager to please, and hard working (she makes those homemade dumplings!). We are all looking forward to going back soon. Maybe tomorrow?? read more

New Peking Bistro - Happy boy with a mass of Mongolian beef and chicken. He left nothing behind. - Chinese Near Me - Lexington, Kentucky

Visited here with family when we were in town. We were pleasantly surprised by the quality and freshness of all of the dishes. The flavors were delicious in every single item that we order and the service was very friendly. The general Tso's chicken was amazing. Will definitely be back! read more

New Peking bistro is by far my favorite Chinese food in Lexington. Made with halal meat and no msg and the quality is always top notch. My personal favorite meals from here are chicken lo mein, beef fried rice and steamed dumplings. If you haven't tried them yet, go support this local family owned business!! read more

Sitting at work a few weeks back I didn't have the time to take a full lunch break but I knew my protein bars were only taking me so far. Located within walking distance from my office, a colleague of mine let me know I could just order online and go pick it up. I looked online and their full menu is on there and easy to order. You can even write in the comments if you want something prepared in a certain way. I ordered the sweet and sour chicken without the sauce (yes I'm a weirdo, I don't dig the sauce) with a spring roll. Within 15 minutes of ordering (took me less than 5 minutes to order) I was able to take a quick breather from my desk to go get it. They were quick and the service was friendly. Their portions are huge and are definitely enough for 2. read more

DO NOT GO TO THIS RESTAURANT are there NEW OWNERS???? and HORRIBLE TASTE OF THE FOOD. We have been going here since 2005 maybe earlier, we can't remember and food was always exceptional. We spent $50.00 and had the worst dinner we have ever had ever general so was bad, lo mien noodles, what were those? Spaghetti noodles the taste of the eggroll, and crab rangoon, horrid. I have never ever in my life written a review ever.... but this food was so bad, someone needs to help these folks out or close your business for good. we threw all the food out... now that i see a few other people saying the same thing, i know we are not crazy whoever ran this restaurant from early 2000's to mid 2000's that food was really good and kept us going back read more

They are the only Halal Chinese food option-- and they are so good! Customer service is great and I've called numerous times requesting catering for the same day and they made it work! Take your business here! You wont regret it! read more

It was open on Christmas without a line. I really would love to give it five stars as I was hungry and needing a spot to eat. Out of town on business on Christmas. I will give it four stars for being open but a normal day would have been 3. Service was good. The food was more what you would see from a buffet. Ok read more

SANTI was very customer friendly and polite. However, the food was most probably the most horrendously disgusting I have ever eaten at a Chinese restaurant. The beef in the fried rice and in the wonton soup was so tough and rubbery, that I had to throw it all out. The House Special Chow Mein and the House Special fried rice was horribly tasteless, and there was only one small shrimp and one piece of chicken in it. I paid $44 dollars for that. It was a total rip-off. Customers, BEWARE ! DO NOT SPEND YOUR HARD-EARNED MONEY in such a tasteless, disappointing gyp-joint that cheats customers for exorbitant prices and inferior food. read more

The food is very delicious. The owners of the place are very friendly and want to make sure you really enjoy your order. We order Vegetable Lo Mein and always receive Tofu with it when we ask. Its a cozy comfortable place to sit and eat with a friend, alone, or even a date. The booths are the most comfortable I know. Great place to eat, and yes, I definitely recommend this restaurant read more

Great good and a great owner. She knew my name by my third visit. Always helpful, g F iOS is on-time and made perfectly to order.

This is an expensive place to eat, compared to other Asian food. I had eaten there once and it was delicious. I didn't mind to pay a little more for good food. I'm not sure if it's because business is slow or what is going on, but the food I ordered was not edible. I had sweet and sour chicken and house rice. All of the meat was so dry and tough, that it was thrown in the trash. The fried rice was mushy and the vegetables were overcooked. I feel like this may have been yesterdays food. Or even worse, Saturdays. Definitely not fresh. Unfortunately, we won't be back. read more

Almost 20 years ago, my friends and I would stop in Peking Bistro after high school 2-3 times a week. Recently moved back to Lexington and thought I'd stop by for good quality Chinese food and nostalgia. Unfortunately, this isn't the Peking I remember. Food was edible, but that was all I can say about it. read more

I love finding places like Peking Bistro. I've done dinner there 3 times now with my girlfriend and we've been very happy each time! They obviously care about giving their customers good food! They also have been happy to make alterations to their meals when asked and they've been great! read more

The people working here are really nice, but the reality is that the quality of the food is not there. Not tasty, even bland, and the meat and vegetables they use are not that great. If you're looking for good Chinese food, search elsewhere. read more

I stopped in this nearby place for a lunch special today. Ordered the Sweet and Sour Chicken and was utterly disappointed. The chicken was like breaded jerky. Some pieces were so hard I couldn't bite them. I won't be back again. read more

I stopped in to grab lunch. I got an egg roll and an order of steamed pork dumplings. They were wrapped in think dough. The egg roll was nice and crisp. Overall I enjoyed the food. The only downside is on Sundays they don't offer the lunch menu combo. I'd definitely go back again! read more

This is my favorite Chinese restaurant in Lexington. I have been a loyal customer for 10 years. Amazing food, large portions, friendly staff. My family and I eat here anytime we want good food! Thank you for never changing! Keep up the amazing work! read more

Best Chinese in Lexington. Chef trained in Hong Kong so Cantonese dishes are the gems. They have a special menu that is only written in Chinese but ask for recommendations to try. My absolute go to for Chinese cravings. New owners Jan 1....quality change. :( read more

I'm pretty sure this place was sold to new owners sometime within the last few years since the food went from the best place in town to just so so! The food was some of the best Chinese in town with the owners that worked and knew everyone that came in! I wish I knew if they started another place somewhere because it was a rumor they were opening another place around Richmond Rd. read more

Ordered dinner for 3 and everything we got was very good. We ordered chicken and fried rice, general tso chicken, and dragon meets Phoenix. The dragon meets Phoenix was shrimp with vegetables in a spivey Hunan sauce and general tso chicken. Everything was cooked well and great flavor. read more

Unfortunately this wonderful place for Chinese food is destroyed. No longer good food. No crunchy hearty egg roll, no spicy general so, no fried rice like it used to be. New owner has destroyed everything. So long my old friend. read more
