Peking — Restaurant in New York

1.1.1 Long-Term Commitment & Loyalty My family and I (family of six + our dog) have been loyal customers of Peking Chinese Restaurant since 2003, back when they were at their original Jamaica Avenue location. For 22 years, this has been our go-to spot—we've tried others while out of the area, but always come back saying, “Peking is the best.”

🍽️ Food Quality & Menu Favorites 1.2.1 Consistency Over Two Decades The quality of the food has remained incredibly consistent throughout the years. Even with rising costs due to inflation, the value for money remains unmatched. We usually spend around $50–$60 a weekend here, and it's always worth it.

1.2.2 Top Recommendations Large Chicken Lo Mein – our weekly favorite

Kung Pao Chicken – packed with flavor

Pork Fried Rice – our go to rice

Triple Crown / Happy Family – great if you’re spending more

Mongolian Beef – underrated gem

Orange Chicken – phenomenal

Hot & Sour Soup (Large) – my go-to when I'm sick

Sesame Chicken – often a bonus over $55 orders

Bourbon Chicken, Pepper Steak, Green Jade w/ Garlic Sauce – all worth trying

1.2.3 Late-Night & Generous Portions I’ve called in close to closing time, and they still took care of me. $15 for two large plates at 11 PM? That’s almost unheard of, especially for quality this good.

🧑‍🍳 Customer Service & Personal Touch 1.3.1 Front Counter Superstar The woman at the front counter is practically family to us at this point. She knows:

My voice over the phone

My regular orders

When I’m experimenting with something new ("Are you sure?" she’ll ask)

She works nearly every day (Tuesdays off), and her dedication stands out.

💡 Pro Tips for First-Timers 1.4.1 Know Before You Order Be aware of taxes and pricing

Check special deals (like free sesame chicken over $55)

Don’t underestimate how good the rice is, even if it’s a small side

Don’t judge the corner spot by its size—it’s truly a hidden gem

🧡 Final Thoughts – A Two-Decade Testimony This isn’t just a review—it’s a thank you for 22 years of incredible food and service. We’re Peruvian, and this Chinese food has become a core part of our family weekends. It’s hard to find this level of value, quality, and consistency—especially late at night, especially locally. Whether you’re new to the neighborhood or just passing through, Peking deserves your try.

The food has absolutely no taste. The fried rice was bland and the boneless spare ribs were dry and chopped up into small shards of meat. The prices are 20% higher than their listed price on the website and the containers of food got smaller ($7 soups and $12 entrees now). Also, the woman at the counter/phone is very rude. I used to go here since they first opened, but I will not be returning. There are too many better competitors nearby to waste...

Good Chinese food at reasonable prices. One of the best places in the neighborhood with consistently good food quality, flavor and service. It's a small restaurant with a standard menu that won't hurt your pockets. Great for quick pick-ups since they're open late. The classic stir fry dishes and fried chicken wings are delicious. Been coming here for years and glad we have these popular local spots as part of...
