New Peking — Restaurant in Kansas City

Recently visited New Peking while leaving a nearby appointment. We ordered ahead and the ordering process was very simple and easy. The person that took our order was very pleasant. Our order was ready when we arrived and everything was hot and fresh. The order was accurate and the food had a great flavor. I ordered Shrimp 🍤 Fried Rice (fried brown in Soy Sauce, extra scallions and spicy) and Crab 🦀 Rangoon while my husband ordered the Combination Lo Mein, we both opted for extra shrimp.

You get great sized portions for your money 💰 as well. The shrimp are deveined which is a MUST for me. I love the way they wrap their Rangoon - you get a nice pocket of filling to enjoy. Yummy 😋! So why didn't I give five stars?

Well, this place is an iconic restaurant in our city and they previously offered an excellent dining experience. It's all closed off now and has been since the beginning of the Covid pandemic. They don't even offer a public restroom anymore or really any other experience except take-out.

I miss being able to go in and have the dining experience. However, the food is still great and the value for your money is there as well. If you're looking for great Chinese food -...

I'm always searching for authentic Chinese food in KC. I was told this place is a go-to for Chinese expats, and a great place to find traditional Chinese. However, I was pretty disappointed. When I arrived, I told them that I was looking for a traditional menu and my quest to find great, authentic food that I haven't been able to find since coming back from China. The first waiter said, "Oh, I don't really know much about the traditional menu, but the orange chicken is great." Pass. I asked if they had someone who could talk about the traditional menu, and another waitress came over to help. I asked, "What traditional Chinese dishes are your best? What are you known for?" She replied, "I'm a vegetarian." Cool; not what I asked, though. I repeated the question "what are you known for?" and she responded that their most popular dishes are usually orange chicken, General Tso's, etc etc. Again: cool, but not what I asked. I picked a Sichuan dish I'm familiar with, and rolled the dice. Nothing was fresh and everything came out to about $15. The dish was okay. Definitely wasn't worth it for the...

My main issues are: They told me it would be $32, but when I got there it was $42. They did give me 15% off, but only because I had a discount. That still only brought the total down to $35. Still not what I was told over the phone. My friend who orders from there somewhat regularly ordered their go to dish chicken lo mein, but with orange chicken instead of the regular chicken. I ordered the same thing but asked for general. I know. It’s probably kind of a pain. Not one but two special orders. The guy on the phone says “oh we ring this up as the chicken entree with lo mein noodles and it’s a $3 upcharge.” Well that’s fine. When we get home and look at what we got. My friend described it as “soy spaghetti...” I just don’t know. I have never experienced ordering lo mein without any veggies in it at all. When I asked my friend if that was normal they said “no, this isn’t what they have ever given me before.” We both agree that the food servings are huge!! However neither of us thought this was what we were ordering. I understand that our orders were difficult, but...
