This is the best rotisserie chicken I've had in Queens so far. The spices they use incorporate every great flavor of Asian and South American cuisine - SUPER hard not to eat the entire bird, while hovering over my kitchen counter, the second I get home. read more

Amazing. Moist. Flavorful Chicken. Soooo goood!!!! A must try for anyone who travels to Queens! Truly a Hidden Gem! read more

Peking BBQ - Peruvian Chinese Style Lomo Saltado! - Chinese Near Me - Woodside, New York

See all

Ordered the #7 which consisted of 1/4 rotissere chicken and 3 spare ribs along with pork fried rice and a salad all for $13.25. First things first, IT IS A LOT OF FOOD! Seriously just that one order can fill 3-4 people. The chicken wasn't dry which is always good because no one likes eating dry chicken meat. The skin was slightly crispy and seasoned but too bad the seasoning didn't get into the meat otherwise it would have been delicious! The spare ribs were decent as well. They had a nice char and smoky falvor to them. The pork fried rice was a bit oily to my liking. I had expected more flavor but was a bit let down. Overall a good place to get your money's worth of food near the train station! read more

I've been meaning to try the food here because my friend has been raving about this place. The place is a hole in the wall, which I find usually has the best food. I ordered a 1/2 chicken with pork fried rice to go (#1 on the menu). It was about 8:30 pm on a Tuesday night - 1/2 hr before they close - and I was concerned if I would end up getting the leftover "dry" chicken that was sitting out all day. Nope!!!! The food was fresh. They even cooked my pork fried rice on the spot. The chicken was very flavorful. In fact, it h specific taste that I've never had on a rotisserie chicken before. It took me a bit to figure it out, but I think it was wasabi! Their rotisserie chicken is a very close contender to the one at Don Pollo in Sunnyside. I would rank it behind Don Pollo for the mere reason that I don't care for wasabi much. Now, on to the rice and sauce. The pork fried rice was medicore. The consistency of the green sauce was a little bit on the watery side, but very yummy nonetheless. I prefer that over the typical mayo-based sauce, which is more calories, lol. Summary: Really good chicken and sauce. I would definitely go back for more! read more

Peking BBQ - Chicken with pork fried rice - Chinese Near Me - Woodside, New York

Food is good but i wish they hire someone to just answer the phone call... Missing out on alot of orders. Their phone is unreachable like 95% of the time and just thought thats really unprofessional for a business. read more

How good it is? It takes about 12 mins walk from my work to here one way. Still I come here regularly during my limited lunch break time. Not sure how they got the idea to put roast chicken with fried rice, but it totally works for me. Good portion, taste awesome. The only thing bad about this place is that they don't take phone orders. You have to show up, order, wait, pay in cash. Still I'm here every week. read more

Food is so good, but they keep on raising the price. It's gotten very expensive now. Rotisserie chicken, chicken fried rice! Yum. Lomo Saltado is the best, but a bit on the greasy side. Still worth the taste read more

Horrible management, rude customer service Got my order wrong Really really rude May have been racist And the chicken came PINK not edible at all felt sick after Do not go guys read more

Been eating here since for almost 20 years, nothings changed food has been amazing ever since ! Many of the bad reviews are based on customer service, but that's because they don't live around woodside and just don't know about it. If you're from woodside, you know! read more

First time here. Cashier lady is too busy on her phone to realize I'm there. I didn't want to assume anything and patiently waited. She needs a bell to get her attention. Please get her one. read more

Have been coming here since I was a little girl. Best chicken in the neighborhood! The quality and taste remains the same. If you order chicken or ribs you will not be disappointed. Personally my favorite thing to get from here is their "lomo saltado". It is amazing, especially with their green sauce. The food is simply delicious. However this place needs a serious make over; it remains exactly the same over the past 10+ years. I personally prefer to take my food home because i really dislike the seating and bathroom. If you order something other than chicken it could be awhile before you get your food. Also it gets pretty busy sometimes and the line to order/pick up can get confusing. Nonetheless the food is amazing & I will continue to eat here. read more

I used to come here as a kid. This place has been around for 40 years! It hasn't changed much. The food is still cheap and delicious. I always order half a chicken with pork fried rice and sweet plantains. It comes with a small salad for only $10 and change! The green sauce that comes with it is so good! read more

Was so excited to try this place but ended with complete disappointment. Definitely the worst service I've had.

This is my go-to plays for Peruvian / Chinese BBQ. The chicken is the bomb. The rice is flavorful. The ribs are fall off the bone and juicy. This place has an eat-in area but it's small. Many people do the takeout. Don't expect his ways to be a five-star or even a four-star restaurant. It's kind of like one of those whole in the wall kind of business that serves excellent food. If you want to get everything in the menu just make sure you come in early because sometimes they run out of the meat. For example one day I came in late afternoon and they ran out of ribs. this is understandable because those trips are delicious. The prices are inexpensive. I'm not sure if you're able to call in orders, but wait time for to go is good average. This spot has been in this neighborhood for a reason. Check it out! read more

If I ever murder someone, end up on death row, and have to choose a last meal, there is a solid chance that I'd ask for the #7, the chicken and ribs with pork fried rice combo, as a part of it. Crack. I didn't even like rotisserie chicken that much before I started coming here. I only liked the skin before, but the flavor here seeps so deeply into the meat. read more

I'm not sure but I think this place is as old as I am. What I mean is that this place is here to stay. Anytime I'm in a crunch for time and I just can't get myself to the kitchen I go here! Rice, beans, platano, fried rice, BBQ ribs and rotisserie chicken. All which is made very well, very tasty and very inexpensive! You drop about 20 bucks and believe me you can feed a family of four. If your in the mood for some chicken and rice, this place will satisfy you without braking the bank! Enjoy! read more

I've been coming to this place for whole roast chicken to go. Prices has gone up but the taste remains. It's inevitable for prices to change, the economy is changing after all. What I'm satisfied about this place that it kept it great taste. If you're still not one of the many fans of this place, Peking BBQ has one of the tastiest roast chicken you'll ever have in your entire life. I'm not exaggerating. Gotta try it to believe it. read more

Great rotisserie chicken! I come here only for their chicken and fries. I ordered their half chicken with fried rice platter once, it was whack. Their fried rice is very cheap quality but you can't blame them for the prices they charge. I think it's like 6 bucks a platter. It definitely hits the spot whenever you order half chicken w/ fried rice or fries. The service here is great and the line moves quick. Don't hesitate to ask the guys for extra sauce, they pack that shit! A quick tip if your driving here. DO NOT double park in this area during the day. The traffic cops in this area SUCK!

Peking BBQ is a Woodside staple. Trust your nose and don't be fooled by its shabby appearance - the food is nothing short of amazing. As other reviewers have already noted, the layout is a bit confusing. First, as you approach the restaurant, use the left door as the other door is for people exiting. Once inside, make sure you're actually on the line to order rather than getting lost in the crowd of people waiting for their food. There are paper menus to peruse while you're waiting your turn in line. I usually go for the House Special Fried Rice (amazing, smoky-ish flavor with huge pieces of tender shrimp, chicken and steak) or the Rotisserie Chicken. The green sauce is a great accompaniment to everything. While the food is delicious, it does take some time to get together because it's mostly prepared as it's ordered. Because they also don't pick up the phone, it requires you to order and wait in person. The restaurant itself is very utilitarian and bare-bones but produces some stellar food so bookmark it for a great night of take out. read more

A really great peruvian/chinese take out spot. Kinda run down looking but don't let that deter you. I've only tried three items here but have been consistently ordering the same 3 items for that past few years. First thing to order would be an extra pint or two of their green sauce. Really the best around nyc. But let's just be up front here, when reviews mention there is some secret/crack sauce in a sauce, it's usually a ton of msg or some variant. So be prepared to drink tons of tea or soda to quench that msg thirst after slurping Peking BBQ's green sauce like soup. Next to order is their fried rice. That giant liter sized one. Their fried rice is probably the best chinese take out fried rice around. Rice has some sheen to it, so you know it's oily, many chunks of that cheap roast pork joint chinese tale outs use. Really, what's up with other spots cheaping out on some pork-ish meat. So the set up is ready, already oily rice, lots of roast pork, now pour about half the pint of green sauce on to the fried rice and mix. Think of it as a salad, but better. And of course cop some chicken. Not head and shoulders better than other Peruvian rotisserie chicken, but equally as good. Now pour the rest of the green sauce onto the chicken. Order with the expectation that with this meal you'll end up thirsty and feel the struggle of your blood flow, and you'll be super satisfied read more

I recently moved to Woodside. After arriving here and walking by Peking BBQ, two things came to mind. A. This place looks like a piece of shit. B. There are always people waiting inside. Normally that can only mean one thing.... it's awesome. I've now been in Woodside for about 6 months and I've eaten at PBBQ about 8 times. It's a prefect meal and super cheap. The chicken is succulent and they serve up some of the best fried rice out there. Can't beat this place.... go ahead and order a #1... you're welcome. read more

Delightfully cheap fusion of chinese + latin american rotisserie chicken. 5.50 for 1/4 chick + pork fried rice + salad + green sauce 6.50 for 1/2 chick + pork fried rice + salad + green sauce - much more worth it! Eat part of it for your dinner, save the rest for lunch tomorrow! That comes out to 3.50 per meal on average! not bad. you can substitute the fried rice for french fries in other combo meals but I think the green sauce mixed together with the rice and chicken is deeeeelicious! Totally worth it to get the rice instead of the fries. Also, if you are doing take-out, the green sauce portions are smaller so you may want to shell out 35 cents to get extra green sauce. The chicken meat is surprisingly tender and the skin is crispy. This isn't seriously gourmet where each piece of chicken is cut perfectly. It's fricken 5 bucks for half a chicken...expectations need to be adjusted! There may be some random bones you need to eat around...and you may also have to get down and dirty with your hands to get at all the juicy meat, but that's something a quick wash with handsoap will cure. Other stuff on the menu....but pretty sure everyone just comes here for the chick. 8$ for the whole chicken, no sides. This place is awesome. Always a line out the door. read more

This one is going to be short and sweet: - Awesome food, great value. I fed 5 people for $10 each and we had leftovers. - The chicken and fried yuca were the best things I ordered. - Get the green sauce. Put it on everything. - The staff is busy so know what you want before you walk up to the counter. You'll have a better experience that way. - Don't be thrown off by the appearance, these places all look like this and the food will totally turn that odd decor around. read more

I believe most of us will be biased toward things we loved when we were young. I know McDonald's isn't the healthiest food choice in the world but I will defend their Happy Meals to the death. Same goes for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, those ridiculous Jansport strings, even more ridiculous Jnco jeans, and Saved by the Bell (even the dreaded new class!). This is why I am biased towards this Peking BBQ place. I remember frequenting this chicken place since I was eleven or twelve. It looks like another Chinese place except the Chinese guys are from South America and speak fluent Spanish, catering to their best clientele. The price used to be like $2.50 for a quarter chicken with fried rice (this is number 3 on their menu). The place used to have all the 'hot sauce' that you wanted for free at all the tables. The interior was not in the best shape but it had its own flavor. Then, for the business sake, the place underwent a minor transformation to make it look more presentable and use technology to take orders and payments. But the food has still remained the same. Number 3 now costs $4.70 (inflation time!) and the chicken/rice combo is as good as I remember. The chicken is as popular as it ever was. There is usually a line during lunch and dinner time and on Sundays after the Catholic church across the street lets out, a vast crowd forms outside Peking BBQ. Most of the clientele are of Latino heritage and if anyone knows rice with chicken, it's the Latinos. The food is all that counts in this place and if you are bold enough, try the 'hot sauce' (spoiler alert: not really hot) and the Colombiana drink. For me, going back to Peking BBQ brings me back to a time where I wondered why my friends preferred Kelly Kapowski over Jessie Spano (I had a thing for Jessie at the time). read more

Let me first start off by saying that if I could give 1/2 stars, I probably would have given this place 3.5 stars instead of only 3. Peking BBQ is this little place in Woodside that looks like a chinese take out place but when you go there - everyone behind the counter is either speaking spanish but don't be alarmed, they really are mexican and you are standing in a place that serves chinese food. It's okay, relax and focus. It's the weirdest thing ever but I guess I should have figured as such since my buddy Vincent Mario Wong is actually a chinese looking guy that speaks more spanish than chinese and makes better arroz con pollo and paella than white rice or egg foo young. Is this why they call New York a melting pot? No but really folks - I'm being serious. So this place is suppposed to have the best roast chicken and ribs in town. I figure, how much better can the chicken be than the dehydrated things you see in Pathmark or Waldbaums sitting underneath the heat lamps with the cardboard tabby holders - garlic or bbq, your choice. Now they even place those heat lamp stations right next to the sushi makers so it seems like you're at Whole Foods but you know dayam well that when you get home, you're going to get a $6 dehydrated whole chicken that looks and tastes like it's been sitting in a cardboard paper bag for the last few hours. I once got one that said the time it was made on the side of the package as he just brought out a fresh batch .... and it was two hours into the future - nice false advertising folks. Okay, so Peking BBQ has lots of different kinds of food but they are famous for their chicken and ribs over rice. You can get a pint of rice, a quart, or a 1/2 gallon which might not look like a lot - but we ordered food for 7 people today and still had some serious leftovers. i mean imagine pork fried rice coming by the 1/2 gallons now - I need to watch Super Size me again to remember why we shouldn't eat so much. We ordered 2 chickens (there's only one flavor - it's called chicken) for $16 which was quartered and 3 orders of ribs which is 5 pretty big ribs for each order for about $8 each. After a closer inspection, they actually gave us an extra 4 ribs so we had more than enough to go around. I was told that I had to get the pork fried rice and since we got the 1/2 gallon I conceded and decided not to order the white rice even though my heart was telling me otherwise. Next time I'm going to order the white rice since that's the only thing Chinese about this place anyway. All in all, I'd say the food was pretty good (even though white rice would most likely have tasted better), the ribs were quite large and juicy and the chicken - even the white meat was very tender and moist. In fact, the chicken was so moist that my fiance Bonnie accidentally over ripped her chicken and due to it's moist-ocity (which is a combination of moistness and elasticity), she accidentally flicked pieces of chicken every where as our friend Jack was just telling a story and he had just said 'You know what would be funny?' Oh man, I really wish I had one of those really stupid, small, and over priced yellow cardboard looking boxes near me because that would have truly been the epitome of a KODAK moment. She managed to get some chicken bits on his face, some chicken juice on his watch, and some rice bounced off his forward. Good thing it was fried rice and not white rice or it might have actually stuck. 'No Jack, what would be funny?' Not exactly a great way to impress Eddie's 'friend' Carmen by embarrassing ourselves with our lack of dinner table etiquette people. Anyway, if you have no intentions of being in the mood for chinese food and you just want some really unhealthy, greasy, bbq chicken and ribs, go to Peking BBQ in Woodside across the street from Carvel, and pick up some food to go. Make sure they give you some of the mild green hot sauce cause it makes it that much better. My friends swear by the pork fried rice but take it from me - the man who is a true Yelper and not just a food critic poser like all of them - go with the white rice. Pork fried rice cooked by Mexicans just doesn't taste the same. I know it's called Mexicanese food but truly - at least they can't go wrong with the white rice. I'm not sure when the next time I will agree to eat like this again because I think I now need to drink an entire kettle of boiling water to wash the coating of fat and grease out of my throat. Oh wait - this isn't the 80's or 90's anymore - I don't own a kettle anymore. Cheers folks and until next time. read more

I tried the #7 Chicken and Ribs Combo, which comes with 3 big ribs, a quarter chicken, a generous portion of Pork Fried Rice, and a small salad. I am completely satisfied. Probably the best ribs I've had; same goes for the pork fried rice. I've never ordered chicken from a restaurant that wasn't dry/bland... But their chicken was NOT dry or bland. I'd suggest taking your order to go, as there is nothing about the ambiance here that would help you enjoy your meal more. Although Woodside is a little out of the way for me, I would still make the effort to go back. read more

Delicious tender, juicy chicken and amazing green sauce. Had it with French fries and it could easily last two meals.

I've been walking past Peking BBQ for weeks on my way to the laundromat, and you could definitely say it peked my curiosity. From the crowded lines in an otherwise ho-hum area of Queens to the fantastic meat smells wafting around the block, it was only a matter of time before I tried the Chinese/Peruvian fare for myself. The only question I have now is "why did it take me so long?" Went with the #8 (three ribs plus a quarter chicken plus fries) (about $13 after tax) and chose dark meat. When I opened the platter up at home, I knew I was in for a treat. First, the sweet sweet grilled meat smell had made its way into the fries, which were fresh and plentiful. Second, the meat itself looked fantastic. Looks don't always tell the whole story, but thankfully they do here. The St. Louis style ribs were juicy and I got major vibes from the seasoning, which I couldn't put a finger on exactly but might have some five-spice in it? I'll have to return (many times) to get more precise. But the real star was the chicken, if only because it is so freakin hard to find grilled chicken this tender and not-dry. I was blown away. The little container of green sauce that came with my order was decent, but honestly I didn't even need it to enjoy the chicken, and ended up dunking my fries in it. I felt pretty gluttonous having this all to myself, so I shared with my friend; there's definitely enough in an order for two people. Looking forward to trying more combinations, even though I'll be happy with anything as long as it has these meats in it. Safe to say my food search in Woodside has reached its pek(e) here! read more

The fried rice isn't very good and the ribs only serve as a contrast to highlight how amazing the chicken is. This place is literally a hole in the wall, and while there is seating room, the products aren't something you'd really want to eat amongst other patrons. It's the type of food that you'll want to eat either alone or with some friends who won't judge as your stuff your face full of deliciously roasted chicken and pick every bone clean. The sauce is good, but not a must have, and the prices have definitely increased over the years (you'll notice by how many vacations they take). However, I'd say it's definitely worth picking up a whole chicken once a month just to indulge. A few things to note are that they're cash only, and you can ask them to chop it however you like (quarters, halves, or whole are the usual proportions). On a first go, you might as well get a little of everything just to contrast the chicken, but I've since foregone the rest of it. read more

I was skeptical about walking in because from outside looked like a typical Chinese fast food restaurant ( on the bit up and dirty side)... but we spoke to a lady that was waiting outside for her order she said food was good. We ordered lomo saltado, chicken, fried rice and ribs. The winner was the ribs, I will go back just for that. Do u self a favor and order chicha morada or inca with ur peruvian meals. Portions are above average, gotta try green sauce(spicy) ... like I said before this is not a fancy place therefore is good for a quick bite and I mean reallyyyy quick lol I hate the smell of this place. They need to do some renovations and use tons of febreze read more

I have been going to this place since 2003. And it has not changed a bit. It still looks crappy and they still have the best rotisserie chicken in NYC. Quite possibly the best I've had too. I usually just come for the chicken and have yet to try other things on their menu. The ribs are okay, but nothing in comparison to their chicken. Plan to come at least an hour before you want to eat. The service is fast but the lines are always incredibly long. Yesterday, I was in line behind a guy who ordered 10 chickens. Come early in comfy shoes and bring a book. You'll be waiting in line for a bit and it will be worth it. Oh and its cash only. Go to the atm. It's worth all of that. read more

This place has the best chicken and ribs, hands down! The meat is always cooked perfectly. It's cash only so make sure you stop at an ATM before you order read more

what can i say, Woodside has the best foods? This place has been around for a LONG TIME...so it kinda explains why it looks dingy. But this place is an example of "dingy places have the best food". They're chicken & fried rice is so good that you wonder why can't you eat this everyday. But you can't cuz u'll end up 500lbs. Either way, this place is great and I can't wait to order from here while not touching the walls. read more

I have been going here for decades just ate the ribs I am truly ashamed I never had them before they were amazing really good

As I was reading through the reviews for Peking BBQ, I noticed that most people order the #7, which ironically, is the train that you would take to get to Peking BBQ in Woodside. Just a few blocks off the 61st Street Woodside 7 train stop, you'll enter a world of unexpected pleasures. The #7 is an order of a quarter chicken (dark or white meat - your choice), three pork ribs, and pork fried rice. The total cost comes to be around $13. You may think that $13 is way too expensive for a simple fast food meal. However, you will be pleasantly surprised with the amount of food you get which easily feeds two or three people. As for the quality of the food, it is so true that this is the best rotisserie chicken I've ever had, and I've had plenty of supermarket-style rotisserie. The chicken here is rotisserie-style and juicy - both the white and dark meat, and seemingly has been brined to lock in the juiciness. The flavor is through to the bone. The skin is not crispy, but springy, but after tasting the meat, this isn't much of a shortcoming. As for the spare ribs, after reading the menu, I thought we would get three measly, skinny Chinese restaurant-style spareribs. After seeing what we got, I can say that you can get full on eating only ONE sparerib. The meat on the top and bottom portions of the sparerib must have been at least a quarter inch on either side. The length of the rib included the soft bone parts on the tips, which made for lots of meat. The meat was also well brined and tender to the bone. I could tell that while cooking the fat was rendered off and the meat was never greasy. It is amazing how they could make a non-greasy, yet tender rib. By the way, the ribs are not sauced and served was they were out of the oven. A green sauce was provided, but since the chicken and ribs were so good on its own, why bother? Now for the pork fried rice, I can say that it is categorically not greasy. I felt it was well made in the style of old Cantonese American restaurants. The char siu was cut up into tiny bits, not cubed and still had a distinct char siu flavor. The medium grain rice was fried up in lo chau, Chinese dark soy sauce. There wasn't anything else added to this simple dish. I liked it for its simplicity and was a compliment to the ribs and chicken. All in all my experience was good. I knew it would be a long wait for my food because of the incessant lines I see every time I pass Peking BBQ. It seems that those in the know don't worry about the lines and are willing to wait to get their roast meats. Mine took nearly 15 to 20 minutes to get, but at least you are given a ticket so you never lose your place in line. Coming here and waiting is well worth it. read more

I've heard the raves of this restaurant for some time. Given I had a craving for some BBQ I headed over to taste this Asian-Peruvian fusion-esque style of rich flavor. Big lesson in life is to never go in to a place with your hopes held high and great expectations cause that's when things tend to fail. Peking BBQ was a big fail. I'm not saying the food was bad or anything it was just normal and bland. Totally not worth the price. You're better off going downtown in Brooklyn where they have some wonderful Asian BBQ spots. read more

After reading the amazing reviews this place piqued my interest. I had to drive down to see what Peking BBQ was all about. I ordered the 1/2 chicken, 5 ribs, small vegetable fried rice, and two small side salads. Totaling $27 and some change- cash only. Select items are priced different for takeout and dine in. The service is quick, and friendly. The chicken was amazing but comparable to another spot near me so it's not worth the trek, personally. Green sauce-yum of course, I love all green sauce from anywhere. Ribs were also good, albeit sauceless, I prefer my ribs sauced. Small side salad consists of iceberg lettuce, strips of carrot, and dressed with thousand Island/Russian. Fried rice was good enough, lots of vegetables. Overall I think it's a good choice for ppl local to the area. It's solid food, but not worth an inconvenient commute to experience. read more
