Very yummy fried wontons, dumplings, and crab rangoons. Meat is a bit skimpy, but for the price, it's well worth it. The dumplings are northern style I think. The skin is thicker (but still tastes very good). The employees are very nice and efficient. Inside is on the smaller side, but a few tables and a good amount of counter seats are available. Fried wontons are very cheap, I recommend. read more

This place looks very run down but don't judge a book by its cover. I had the chicken and broccoli lunch special and requested it with light oil, spicy sauce and white rice. Came with a drink and for under10$ , I thought it was a very good meal at a very good price. I think they mostly do delivery and have very few dine in as during my hour there the only other people in the place were delivery drivers. If in the neighborhood and looking for a good Chinese lunch special ( and you don't care about the aesthetic of a place at all) give this place a try. read more

Giving 4 stars just because it's so hard to find any decent takeout on the north side of Chicago. We got the orange chicken, human chicken, and chicken fried rice. I'll start with the good: Both the chicken dishes came hot and full of flavor and decent spice (I did ask for extra spicy) but the flavor was deep and seasoned. Even after delivery the orange chicken had some crunchy bits with a thick and sticky sauce. The hunan chicken felt a little slimy but may have been the sauce. It's not the best hunan I've had but not the worst. Overall great portions and quality. Only disappointment was the fried rice. It seems like maybe they forgot soy sauce? Or any flavor / seasoning? Usually fried rice has a deep darkish color full of deep flavor with veggies. Even the pieces of chicken in this were just super bland like nothing was seasoned at all. It somehow feels blander than the white rice... just rice chicken and green onion- which should theoretically have some flavor but it truly was just so bland- it was baffling. I'll probably reheat over the next few days and add my own seasoning and veggies to spruce it up. Skip the fried rice but everything else is yummy, large and hot portions that are reasonably priced read more

Very good mongolian chicken. I recommend this place if you're looking for some real tasty Mongolian ck or bf.

I just placed an order here for dinner through Door Dash (and I picked it up instead of delivery). I ordered crab rangoon, hot sour soup (large), wonton soup (large), and sesame chicken with fried rice. I really liked it! I've been looking for a good takeout Chinese and I think this will be my new fave! The wonton soup broth was a little watery, I added a chicken bullion cube and that solved the conundrum. The sesame chicken was good, but the fried rice was excellent! Crab rangoon are more wonton than filling. Easy take-out process and affordable prices! I'll be back. read more

Finally found my go to spot for carry out!Ordered through Uber eats. This place does their sesame chicken correctly!! And their own sweet and sour sauce too! The red kind. Crab Rangoon order is properly priced as well. It's so hard finding a good carry out place that has the right flavor. read more

Food is good and the lunch special is a great bargain I would just stick with the can of pop rather than pay an extra 60 cents for soup because the soup is not great. Had the wanton soup and was not impressed with it at all the broth was pretty bland read more

A great neighborhood spot for quick, easy, and yummy food! Have never been disappointed with the food no matter what I order, whether it's noodles, stir fry, or any side! Definitely recommend it if you're in the mood for some Chinese takeout in Lakeview/Boystown read more

Chinese take out is completely subjective. I'm very specific. Sometimes unfair. Like if they don't got that same bodega looking menu I had in my hometown, I don't trust them. There's a weird algorithmic science to it. But honestly, It might be a coincidence by Chicago/NYC Chinese food is different LA/HI. I think people from cold northerly areas cook similar. Like one distinguishing feature is wonton soup. North uses thicker noodles. I could not find the thick style anywhere in Hawaii. So all these little nuances is why I like this place. It's take out, so no fancy dining room, but the service is quick and friendly. Their food is consistent and is prep in the style I prefer. My experience has been good. read more

This is the worst Chinese food I've ever had. The spring rolls are so small you can't see them. I ordered Curry Chicken and it was awful! It smelled like a wet dog in an alley. The chicken was so chewy I spit it out. I ended up throwing out the whole dinner. Lesson learned. Never again. read more

Usually try not to write negative reviews but can't believe what was provided as a "crab cheese Rangoon". A fried empty ball of dough. Save your money read more

Absolute 10/10 Chinese food in Lakeview! This place is the best hole in the wall Chinese you can get. Big portions and worth every penny. Which is not that many. Service is exquisite and the girlies in the back make sure you are in and out PERIOD love these people and the sesame chicken is a staple I judge all Chinese food places in and wow it did werk bestie. YAASSSS SCORE: 10 10 10s across the board read more

We just found out the place we've been getting our Chinese food from closed after 10 years of being our go to spot!! But we had the craving and we've ordered from here twice and decided this will be our new go to spot. We really like their general Taos and sesame chicken. I also like their crab Rangoon but my husband can't eat them because they are strong in onion. The pork fried rice isn't quite how I like it but still does the job. read more

Dont buy the crab rangoons. Enticing because they offer 10 of them but its 95 percent breading and very very little filling. Fried rice was fine read more

Sesame chicken and potstickers. An order that should not be hard to screw up. I ordered it five days earlier and it wasn't amazing, but it was good. And I didn't have a problem. But five days later I ordered it again. But sadly, it was extremely disappointing. And around $33. For two nights of food if it was fine that would've been tolerable although still highway robbery when compared to going into a little Chinese place on the street in New York City and being able to get the same meal for a little over 10 or maybe now $15 I'm still grateful that someone came out during the cold rain on the Chicago cold early evenings, but still. And if Karma is true, this is all some thing coming back to me from my past where I feel to serve people in a really satisfactory way. This is more perhaps a cautionary tale about ordering via Yelp who's partnered with Grubhub, because neither of them will take responsibility. Best thing to do in the future is to call up the restaurant and ask them to deliver it. Lesson learned I hope. The food was not as good as Yummy Yummy Asian bistro (which was not taking delivery at the time because of the weather probably), Unfortunately the worst part was they completely ignored my delivery instructions, which included the apartment being on the rear side of the building and to call me when they showed up with the order. They never called me, and on the Yelp app I discovered the food had been left out on the porch in front of a different apartment in the cold rain for over 15 minutes. And neither Yelp nor GrubHub will compensate me for the order. I'm sure some other food and delivery service is wonderful, but unfortunately I had that very bad experience. And no one has bothered to try to compensate me for ignoring the delivery instructions, and compensate me for overpriced food when you take into account it was cold and wet and the sauce had dried up, so it was hard to get down. I had to use a lot of soy sauce. Even then it was a lot of money. Between the tax and the delivery fees and the tip as well as their slightly more expensive price range in general, and I would've been so much better off going to Panda Express. I tried contacting The customer service number on the Yelp app which forward me to GrubHub who they've partnered with since 2018. And the customer service agent said there's nothing they could do but they would give me a five dollar credit towards my next order. Well tonight I just tried to make another order, and there was no such credit in my Grubhub account, and Yelp doesn't have direct customer service it seems, and GrubHub apologized over and over but they did nothing beyond mere words. I would be very grateful for the restaurant to contact me and offer a partial refund for my order. If they do, I will leave an updated deeply appreciative and more positive review. I have a leftover portion the next night or two afterwards, which after microwaving it and using soy sauce, somehow managed to taste a little bit better, but it was awfully expensive for that kind of experience in the first night that it was fresh, it was already not fresh because it was left out in the cold and it was a real treat for me to get this and unfortunately it was a treat gone wrong, and disappointing. I hope to hear back from someone about this in the future. And if so, I will update the review. Maybe the orange chicken is better. read more

In ascending order of goodness: - egg rolls - crab rangoon - fried dumplings (I love ponzu sauce so much) Overall it was a very solid midnight snack and it's probably your best bet for late night Chinese. read more

Great food!! They are so nice! Very quick service!! To-go is always great!! 100% go there!! Sesame tofu is fantastic! So is the kung pao chicken read more

I ordered Peking Chinese on a cold Sunday afternoon hoping it would soothe a nasty hangover. I had a VERY difficult time choosing my entrees based on their very extensive and diverse menu, but I eventually settled on the General Tso's chicken, a big hot and sour soup and the lo mein with chicken. All my food arrived hot and exactly as described and there was enough food to keep me fat and happy all week. The General Tso's was huge and while the chicken wasn't really that spicy, it was incredibly tasty. I'm a hot and sour soup snob, but I did really enjoy this soup. I though it was a bit on the thinner side based on all the other hot and sour soups I've tried, but it was still very good. The lo mein was also a hit for me. The noodles were thick and flavorful, and the chicken was not overcooked. Peking Chinese Kitchen is going to be a frequent spot for me this winter! My new go-to Chinese takeout. read more

Rice was soggy and meat combination in it was spoiled. Very disappointed, the fried rice was practically white no flavor

ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE!!! Don't belive these reviews. Had it last night for the first time. The fried rice was barely fried at all; the rice was overcooked. The Hunan Beef was grey; no color at all. The Egg Foo Yung was even bad. There was no range in flavor between dishes; they must've used the fake gravy for everything. This is the worst Chinese food I've ever had! I should taken a pic That's what I get for being lazy; should've just driven to MingHin in Streeterville. read more

I had been in once before several years back and it was pretty good; today I was doing some shopping along Halsted and decided to give 'em another try. Not so good this time..... just "adequate," nothing to rave about. I saw one of the staff cleaning the tables after customers left, but even so, there is a stickiness on the tabletops, as though it's old lacquer or other finish wearing out. Not very appetizing. The main dish was C grade. Hot (temperature) which is a plus, but not particularly tasty, and with a texture like it had been on a steam table for several hours. The eggroll was not bad. No real silverware: A ceramic canister on the table contains plastic knives, forks, and spoons. That was chintzy enough, but to make it worse, the utensils are tiny and fragile. The tines of the fork frequently bent when I tried to stab the pieces of chicken. You get what you pay for. A lunch special with General Tso Chicken, one eggroll, and scoop of fried rice, plus a can of ginger ale, was 10 bucks. This was the Chinese equivalent of a Big Mac: Somewhat inexpensive, fast, junk-food -- which is OK when you're in a hurry and will settle for something cheap. read more

Peking Chinese Kitchen - General Tso Chicken, Rice, Eggroll at Peking Chinese Kitchen - Chinese Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I ordered through Grubhub last night....the large portions are huge and last several meals... The Crab Rangoons were the largest that I have seen! The Shrimp Lo Mein was delicious...and perfectly sauced and included small vegetables such as cabbage and scallion shoots. I was pleased and am picky about American-style Chinese food-this was well prepared and delivery was fast! I would order again without hesitation! read more

Blah! How this restaurant have any positive reviews, I'll never know. It was our first and last time ever ordering. Food is extremely mediocre and tasteless, yet greasy and salty. We ordered: Wonton soup - salt bomb, no other flavor Vegetable chow fun and vegetable fried rice, both no flavor, yet greasy. Try literally any other restaurant in the area instead. read more

We ordered delivery and got the spring rolls, chicken and vegetables (comes with white rice) and beef and broccoli (also comes with white rice). Pros: delivery was super fast and prices are incredible! Cons: the food is so bland and flavorless. The meat is very poor quality and that scared me so much that I only ate the vegetables. I won't be coming back. read more

This place is very inconsistent, the rice showed up half cooked, General Tso's chicken was dry, the Szechuan chicken had barely any chicken in it, the soup was cold. Ordered this past Sunday 12/4/2022, I would not recommend this place, plenty of other places to choose from. Also for the portions you get, this place is very over priced. read more

Peking Chinese Kitchen (Nov. 4, 2022) This is a revisit after Dec 2021. Don't think I reviewed this place my previous time here. Came here specifically to re-taste the Egg Foo Young enjoyed about a year ago Dec. 2021. Traveled the morning from Milwaukee to Chicago via Flixbus (Decent ride, inexpensive price, a lot of open seats still available.). Arrived around 11:15 a.m. Did some "chores" - Bought caramel corn from "Nuts on Clark" located in Union Station, and visited Luke's Italian Beef on Jackson Blvd. - then took the #22 bus to get to this eatery. Did not know there was no stop where I expected it to be, so ended up taking the "L" train back to the station closest to the eatery. Always unexpected journeys when you travel cheap. The location is unassuming. Right across the store is construction of some high rise started over a year ago, and looks like it will continue on for a few more years before its completion. The place was relatively dark and there were several tables and chairs for dine-in. Overall, the place feels old. Behind the counter is the kitchen and the glorious aroma of the cooking food will drift into the dining area. The proprietors speak Mandarin, which can be advantageous for Mandarin speakers. I have seen many menus while researching cheap Chinese food places, and this place is a definite bargain. The lunch specials are well priced, most under $9 (tax included) and come with a 12 oz canned drink from the Pepsi family. The pork Egg Foo Young lunch special was cooked on the spot and arrived quickly with two patties, a side of fried rice and a container of warm gravy. The Egg Foo Young was fine, slightly modified from the Cantonese version using bean sprouts, and uses cabbage as its base instead. The pork is diced Chinese BBQ pork, which adds a sweet flavor to the dish. The GEM is the gravy. Previously, it was a similar gravy but with heavy elements of garlic in it. While good, it had something missing. This time, the garlic flavoring is no longer pronounced, and whatever the store uses as its ingredients made it literally perfect. I am sure this gravy is also used to cook many of the other items offered in the menu, and this will likely make the taste of those dishes spectacular as well. If I were to reside close to this place in Chicago, I'll likely eat here 5 out of 7 days a week. This place is likely the best Chinese "fast food" place I've eaten at just based on the taste of the grave itself. In case you are wondering, I am of Chinese origin from South East Asia. My overall rating is 5 out of 5 stars. Can't wait to get back to Chicago and enjoy the food again. It is definitely a must-try place. Do tune your taste buds a bit, understanding that this is aChinese Fast Food place. Happy Eating !!!! read more

Hole in the wall, no frills place. Dumplings, fried rice, and sesame chicken were all great! They take card too!

The food was just what we like in Chinese food, comfort style Chinese food! If your in Lakeview/Boystown and you need to pickup or have it delivered: Peking is the place to get it from! It's affordable and delicious! We chose the lunch specials TOGo as there were at least 10 specials to choose from! For like $8 we ordered our choice of special, rice, eggroll and can soda included in special price. I don't remember if egg drop soup was included but we definitely added it, if not! They prepared our lunch specials fresh fresh from hot pans! They packed it nicely for carry out and asked us what flavor soda we would like! When we got back to apt we enjoyed our steaming Hot, delicious, tasty, saucy, spicy (my order) on a cold snowy Oct 31, 2019! It hit the spot! It is at the corner of N Halstead & Belmont. When we visit big cities like Chicago, we look for a spot like this to grab hot food and enjoy back at airbnb. The customer service the nice counter lady gave us and guided us is worth mentioning. She made our order experience and choices easy & friendly. I barely checked my Facebook at front window seat and order ready! Don't miss these specials daily! (In house seating is very limited. It's a takeout experience! 5 stars! read more

The food isn't the best. Too much sauce and stringy meat makes for a subpar dining experience. However, the service here is always great and their lunch specials are a good deal. For $6.50 you get an entree, a soda, and a fortune cookie! It's perfect if you're on a budget and just want to satisfy your Chinese food craving. read more

Peking is our neighborhood go-to for Chinese takeout. We aren't from and have never been to China to speak to the authenticity of the food like some of the other apparent experts on here, but we've definitely always been happy with our orders. It's affordable, they're open late, portions are big, and also always have our food ready right on time. What's not to love? read more

Overall, it's a good everyday restaurant. A bit confusing to me why the dishes came served on top of rice, except for one. That way the sauce gets absorbed into rice which i did not want. Otherwise, it ok. Flavor is a bit neutral. The fried rice is also very light. I would have liked it to be more fried, i guess.The beef with brocolli i dont recommend. the sauce is oiler and the beef tastes underwelming. The checken and vegi and chicken and shrimp combo were pretty good. read more

Pretty standard Americanized Chinese fare. Like lets batter some chicken and fry it, Americanized Chinese fare. Their menu is Donald Trump YUGE, with almost like 1000 items on it. I don't claim I've even come close to trying everything. Did have two "Chef Specialties" and each were ok, but nothing to write home about especially considering the specialty claim. Delivery was on time, accurate and their prices are very reasonable for the portion sizes you receive so I would probably try them again sometime! read more

In the picture of their sweet and sour chicken and other sweet and sour dishes it has the chicken covered in a brown sauce with peppers, but what arrived was fried chicken pieces and a separate processed red sauce-the exact type of sweet and sour chicken I wanted to avoid. Food was hot and ready just not as advertised. read more

Got this delivered and it was hot! That was good but the food....not so much. Don't order the pad Thai, it is not pad Thai. Thick noodles, green peppers. No bean sprouts or crushed peanuts. No lime, and definitely not in a pad Thai sauce. Chicken fried rice was bland with HUGE chunks of onion and barley any chicken. The beef kung pao was filled with celery. Legit, all celery. Few carrots, tiny bits of corn and whole peanuts. The apps were just okay. Wish they could work on their dishes, standard dishes. read more
