We went on Valentine's Day evening. This establishment only had one waitress for the entire restaurant!! On a special day!! No one was manning the entrance so we proceeded to walk into the dining room and talked with the lone waitress. The entire dining room was full! We waited almost 30 minutes for our water and oolong tea to be served. Seated by the windows was a bit too chilly for me. However the food was delicious!!! Fresh chicken and veggies!! It will be interesting to try them in a less busy night. read more

Wow! This place is our new favorite restaurant in Collinsville! Let's start with the food. I really enjoyed the sweet and sour pork, shrimp, and chicken. The meal was filling and delicious! I loved every bite! The crab Rangoons were perfect! My wife ordered chicken and mushrooms. I had a bite and may get that on the next visit. Their extensive menu offers so many different options for a great meal. The service was excellent! Our waitress was very friendly and attentive! This place is awesome! We will be back soon! read more

Peking Garden - Their delicious meals are served in these neat dishes. Love it! - Chinese Near Me - Collinsville, Illinois

We finally found the Chinese restaurant we've been looking for in the St. Louis area! From the minute we spotted this place from the outside, we knew it was going to be good. The red exterior, the steps leading up to the restaurant, and the cozy ambience inside all pointed to a special and unique dining experience. We were seated quickly and our meal was served within ten minutes. All of the dishes were served in covered platters, which made it extra special. They were piping hot too, which is a must for me whenever we get Chinese. Very saucy too- just how I like it! Everything was delicious!! Will be back!! read more

We love this eclectic little place. It's in an old house downtown Collinsville, and they make wonderfully fresh Chinese food. The vegetables are always crisp and freshly cooked! We have ordered takeout many times throughout the pandemic, and not once have we been disappointed. The staff is always friendly, and their dishes have loads of flavor. Our favorite include the wonton soup, cashew chicken, and Mongolian beef! read more

We didn't know that they close for a few hours between lunch and dinner. The lady was kind enough to let us eat inside even though we missed the window. The food was excellent. The egg rolls are some of the best I've had. Portions are great for the price and it was very enjoyable. We ordered lunch plates of sweet and sour chicken, broccoli beef and fried rice. The sweet and sour sauce was good, not too sweet and not too thick. The broccoli beef sauce was a little darker than most places but it was still good, just a bit heavier. Def a great place to go and enjoy a good lunch. We will def be back. read more

I have never had a bad experience with the quality of food. No delivery, so pick up or dine in, but as far as the food it is one of the best. read more

Ordered carry out as our normal place was closed for the day. Mongolia beef was bland, and the crab rangoon was only cream cheese. I will not order from them again or recommend them. read more

Always good good and friendly service. I will definitely keep going there and recommending it to other people.

Best Chinese food in this area, even to-go. But try to dine in sometime, if you can! It's such a cool little place with a charming, nostalgic vibe. From the time you get in the parking lot, and see the building, you know it's gonna be good! Friendly staff, excellent customer service, delicious food, and perfect ambience that lends well to a special dinner out. Would be a really cute date spot. read more

One of the best Chinese restaurants in the 618! Soooo good! I love the orange chicken!

Best spot in town! Always super fresh, super fast, always very nice service! Our whole family loves it, highly recommend to anyone!

Wow amazing service. Made my order exactly the way I wanted it. They said to me, "sir we will make it however you want it. We Want You to come back." Now that is customer service. They made it fast and served with a smile. read more

Peking Garden - Chinese Near Me - Collinsville, Illinois

The food is decent but very overpriced. I have been twice now and each time something went wrong with my order. The first time I was missing some crab Rangoon when I got home and called to notify, but they just said I could pick it up. (Defeats the purpose of getting the takeout) No other offer was given to at least make it better. Second time I asked for combination chicken and shrimp fried rice but just for the shrimp to be on the side. I was charged 1.25$ per shrimp and was not notified until I got my receipt in which I had to question why the amount was so high. I paid 6 times the amount I thought it would be simply to add shrimp. Just over priced and never worth the food it produces. read more

Best Chinese food in Madison County by far. There are a lot of dishes to choose from. The food is served fast and fresh by the friendly staff. The owner is very friendly and always takes the time to talk to us. Take cash because there is a 3% up charge if you pay with a credit card. read more

Service was slow but ... You know Covid. Food is just alright and not worth the cost. The dumpling sauce was the best thing out of a 58 dollar order for to go. We ordered tofu with vegetable, veg eggfoo young, dumplings, veg with brown sauce, wings. We ordered a separate 30 dollar meal and wanted to add shrimp into a vegetarian lo main and paid $1.50 PER jumbo shrimp..which were clearly medium sized. And out of all that food, just the dumpling sauce was delicious. Serious, just the sauce not even the dumplings. For just the food and the servixe, I would have given 2 stars. Except for the following... After I get home, I realized that they forgot an order of chicken wings. I wouldn't have cared except kids love wings. So I called to tell them that my chicken wings weren't packed. They debated with me over the phone so I offered to take a photo of exactly what I got in my bag. They told me they were certain they packed it. I told them I'm certain they didn't because I'm looking at it. We went back to pick it up and they insinuated that we were lying and actually said "you can take the wings home... but I hope we don't see you again.". In no world, is sub-par Chinese food okay to be insulted so we left the food there. Like seriously? And this is spoken from someone who grew up in a Chinese restaurant, so, yes I know there are people who cheat you out of food, but this is NOT the way to deal with it. So yeah they won't be seeing us again. read more

We finally got to try Peking Garden and I am so happy I could cry. Little story. I'm from Connecticut and we have incredible Chinese restaurants in my town, both eat in and take out. I'm pescatarian but don't eat shellfish so my options are limited to vegetarian. I LOVE deep fried tofu, and the Szechuan bean curd (tofu) dish was always my favorite. I thought no one could make it wrong. Moving to Collinsville I realized it's not created equal everywhere and I've had truly awful Szechuan tofu. Enter Peking Garden. I see it on their list with other deep fried tofu options. I'm hesitant because I have had nothing but inedible since moving here, but my husband and I decided to take the risk and try it. WE WERE NOT DISAPPOINTED. Peking Garden makes it just like home AND they other more than one option! I ordered the Szechuan tofu and the curry tofu dish and my husband and I could not decide which we liked most! We actually argued over who got to eat what after taste testing them. The tofu was fried to perfection and a nice color and spongy texture. The sauces were rich and the vegetables tasted fresh. This is my new go to for my deep fried tofu. I don't have to worry about them getting it right! read more

I think they're only open for carry out only . But food is well prepared and hardly any wait time

This place replaced what used to be Old Peking Restaurant. When they closed up shop, these folks dropped in to pick up the location. They seem to be using most of the same stuff as Old Peking did, the dishes and most of the decor seem similar. They have walled off a portion of the restaurant with a not-so-nice looking commercial door, which takes a bit away from the original ambiance. The food, though, has not missed a beat. It is just as hot and delicious as it was as Old Peking. Good, sit-down, non-buffet, non-chain Chinese food is rare these days, this is one of the few left that really shine! read more

Its not a buffet and its not take out! A true sit down Chinese restaurant...and the food is delicious and the portions hefty. read more

Locally owned no franchise crap. You can taste the passion of the cook in every dish. Have yet to get anything that wasn't delicious.

Ordered to go and was nicely surprised how quickly food was done. Very interesting layout as it looks like restaurant was built inside an old house. Very well themed and whole to go area for waiting. Food taste and quality was very good and reasonably priced. Food amount also very large portions. Reasonably priced as well. Would definitely go again when I'm back in town. Ordered the snow pea chicken, house lo mein, and the war wonton soup. read more

This is the BEST Asian cuisine in the area hands down. Family owned , always consistent, great food. They have something for everyone and it's always fresh. read more

My favorite Chinese food in all of the St Louis area! They really know how to cook a delicious meal!!

The best Chinese food you will ever have, served by the most caring owners in the entire world. Not only did I work on and off for Old Peking throughout college, the owners always treated me like family. Unfortunately, they closed a couple years ago. On the last night they were open I stopped in for a final meal, walked around to say goodbye to the owners, saw they were taking some pictures with aunts and uncles and siblings in the main dining room, and hung back to say my goodbyes during a picture break. This was ridiculous, apparently, and they basically "forced" me into taking some family pictures with them. The owners have a cool story. Kin Sun's husband is an American she met while he was in the service. She barely spoke any English, they were able to fall in love anyway, and she ran away from home to be with him instead of marrying the rich doctor her father had chosen for her. Eventually, her brother convinced the family to give this guy a chance, and everything ended happily ever after. I miss Old Peking! They always served us dinner before the evening shift, and I tried literally everything on the menu. It was all awesome. There is a new Chinese restaurant in the building now, but I've never been because I don't want to ruin the Old Peking memories I have. read more

I don't know what anybody sees in this place. Most of the time we go by it's closed but the one time we did for dinner the food wasn't that great and it's pretty expensive. Atmosphere is different closed in rooms and just odd. The building is an old house and no renovations. I think we probably had dinner in where the living room was read more

Got takeout. Food was very good. Well cooked and seasoned. My problem was with the takeout containers. Styrofoam containers almost disintegrated by the time I got home (about 20-25 min). What a mess!! Would have preferred to have food packaged in the boxes that the fried rice is packaged in. read more

Wow! I am new to the area and happened upon Peking Garden. I placed a take out order and it was FANTASTIC! They used real, fresh vegetables - something not often found in chinese food places. I will definitely reorder from them. And - make sure you bring a 20% off 2nd entree coupon with you - which can be found on their website. You won't regret the decision! read more

Just as good today as it was 21 years ago when I first ate here! The owners are great people! Food is delicious. Potstickers, Hunan Shrimp, General Tso Chicken, Kung Pao all the things are great picks! The restaurant feels a little off the main retail areas of Collinsville but it's worth the stop. read more

We had a large carry-out order this evening and they prepared it perfectly. Everyone received what they ordered and it was VERY delicious. I will definitely be going back soon. read more

This is great food for the area. I been here twice. Solid meals each time. I have shrimp and they were cooked right and large. Good value. Service was good. Just to bad only 2 tables tonight so did not feel as good. Did not ask for desert, so maybe they do not have any. One negative is the tea. Terrible for a Chinese restaurant. Should have green or jasmine tea option. Would go back read more

We are very happy with our local Chinese place, China King in Troy. But they stopped making their own pot stickers, and the frozen ones are horrible. Since my husband loves pot stickers, I called all the nearby restaurants to find one that still makes them in house. I'm pretty sure Peking garden is the only one who still does. I decided to order on the way home last night and surprise him. Their prices were a little high compared to other places, but I figured if the food was good and the pot stickers are hand made it would be worth it. Oh, if only! I have never been so disappointed with a Chinese restaurant in my life. To begin with, as I waited by the pick up table, the stench of sewer was nearly overwhelming. I guess they had a bathroom issue, as I was standing right next to them. I ordered general tso's chicken, veggie fried rice, pot stickers and crab rangoon. The reason I went to this restaurant, the pot stickers, were horrible. They actually exploded oil into your mouth when you bit down, the flavor of the pork was mediocre, and the sauce tasted really funny. And you could see the pill slick on to of the sauce. I thought about outing it my granny separator, but it tasted so off it wasn't worth it. The crab rangoon, which I thought were impossible to mess up, were mealy and over fried. They were so hard they hurt my teeth. The fried rice was terrible. It was so dark with soy sauce and overcooked that it will probably go in the trash. Oddly enough, the broccoli in the rice was undercooked. I think. It was weird broccoli. It's almost like frozen broccoli that was thawed but not cooked enough. Then we come to the general tso's chicken. The chicken was dry and the sauce was terrible. The whole dish tasted burned. I ordered an extra side of the sauce and it tasted burned, too. Terrible terrible terrible. I have never ever had such an access the board bad experience at s Chinese restaurant. I will never go back. read more

The pepper chicken was wonderful! We didn't try any appetizers or soup, but will next time. The service was good too.

Wow is right! This place was a pleasant surprise. Tucked away in this small town is a really great authentic Chinese restaurant. The food and service was great. Black pepper three ways was great!! read more

Peking Garden is the best Chinese around. My wife and I live in Edwardsville which has some 6 or so Chinese restaurants and we drive to Collinsville. She always gets the Hunan chicken and I get General Tso's. The soups are good, I like egg drop and hot and sour. Egg rolls and crab rangoon also good. Great fried rice and we love the hot tea. The atmosphere is nice, servers are wonderful, and we always enjoy our time there. read more

This rustic two story home serving as a Chinese restaurant has some of the most exquisite Chinese décor I've seen in any Chinese restaurant. That alone is worth the visit. But of course, it's the food you've come for and they have a wide variety. I had the snow pea chicken was excellent and served by a wonderful staff. If you're looking for a nice Chinese restaurant in a beautiful setting, this is a great place. read more
