I was visiting family in Fresno. Since my wife is vegan, this affected how we would choose where to eat.
We decided Little Peking would be the best for both Vegan and non-vegan connoisseurs.
I have heard good things about Little Peaking from Fresno friends. And, to tell you the truth, I was expecting more when I arrived.
Small restaurant tucked in the back of a small shopping center. The inside is not your typical, grandiose Chinese restaurant. It was more like walking into a local, small, Mexican restaurant. Plain, white walls. Very little "Chinese decoration". 6 or so tables. Chairs that were covered in a red velvet cloth material that ,probably, a family member made.
The young man taking our order was extremely helpful and nice. He knew the menu and what went in each dish. He was honest and made sure that the vegan/vegetarian food we ordered was vegan. Some dishes had to be made differently so that they could be vegan.
When our food came out (it was as long as you would think a Chinese restaurant would take, not terrible) I was blown away!
Usually, when I order orange chicken from a Chinese food restaurant, it's no different from Panda Express. Little Peaking orange chicken was phenomenal and way better than Panda Express!
The vegan food was delicious and filling.
With friendly staff and delicious food, don't judge Little Peaking by its cover. Little Peaking is a Chinese food restaurant we would gladly eat at next time we...
Read moreI've been here before and my experience wasn't great but good, I ate in and the food took almost an hour to come out and I feel that the food was a bit salty. A couple of days ago I retried this place and I ordered I the food. The lady on the other end seemed to be in a rush and hung up before I could ask my last question. Upon arrival I added another order to the tally that was already ready for me to take and it didn't take long to come out. I ordered the Vegetarian chicken curry with noodles and rice and also vegetarian broccoli beef and added a spicy chicken dish. The downside was that the woman claimed there was no fried rice side and I had to order a whole order, also no chowmein and had to get pan fried noodles, the service wasn't bad but being limited keeps this place from getting 5 stars. The food was delicious and the meat eater agreed that the food was good that is what kept the whole experience from becoming a close 3 star. The pan fried noodles were just the right balance of chewy and crunchy and the curry, although not the best I've ever had was definitely solid, the rice was steamed well. Definitely recommend especially if you crave Chinese and you're a vegetarian, 5 stars on that aspect. Will return because overall it was a great value for the...
Read moreHighly satisfied with the quality of food I have tried. I order sweet & sour chicken over fried noodles. SS Chicken I have tried from other restaurants have tasted like they came from a freezer or the quality is poor, but little peking has to be one of my favorites! Their chicken is crispy, not dry, nor soggy. Their S&S sauce is one of my favorite versions i’ve ever tried, I prefer the sauce not to be citrusy tangy, this sauce is is more sweet like pineapple.
Edit: Just order today and there was completely different staff than what I’m use to as I have been a daily visitor for the past week since I was so impressed. I ordered my usual S&S chicken with fried noodles and usually they place the SS Chicken on one side and the noodles on the other of the foam box. Today The cook prepared it by putting the noodles on the bottom and the chicken on top which made the sauce cover all over the noodles, I tried to love it but I couldn’t, literally tasted like spaghetti noodles and maple syrup Yuck diabetes on a plate ! Now I understand why they place them separately instead of on top to prevent that...
