Peking Chinese Kitchen — Restaurant in Livingston

Im typically loyal to Peking House (no affiliation) on Valley Road in South Orange. We wanted to pick it up so we can get the food quickly!

I found them on the map about .5 miles from my office. I was quite impressed by their online ordering system. We ordered our food and when I went to pick it up, the place wasnt as clean as I have seen Chinese restaurants in the HOOD!! And this one is in the burbs!!!

Then I get the food back to the office unpack it and start eating it. I order an egg roll, general tsos with plain pork friend rice and wonton soup.

The egg roll was DRIPPING GREASE!! The General Tsos dish was ok. They put 2 wontons in the wonton soup. It look like gold water with 2 dumplings. It also had a distinct after taste.

I didnt finish it...tossed it...didnt even wanna bring it home to the kiddies!

My colleague said NEVER again!!

Another colleague order 2 eggs rolls and theirs was drippin grease!

Dirty place, greasy egg rolls, wonton soup with no wontons...

NEVER...

Called the place to let them know and the guy who picked up the phone got offended. If you don't believe look at the pictures....

I grew up in Livingston and used to get food from here pretty frequently with my family because it was the only Chinese place that had an extensive vegetarian menu complete with fake meat dishes (this was in the 90s, long before the current "plant-based" trend). We were visiting friends this weekend and ordered from here again, the food is just as good as I remembered. Vegetarian General Tso's chicken and vegetarian beef lo mein are my personal favorites. Prices are very reasonable, and have been...
