Peking Chef

Well worth what you spend — some magical reason it is better than the other places around.

I love Chinese food, and though there are a number of Chinese restaurants in my area, this is EASILY the best. I eat here constantly, and am very happy with the food and the staff. The only issue I’ve ever had is with their chicken, which can sometimes be a little chewy, but I have that issue with many, many restaurants, so I don’t let it distract from the fact that pretty much all their other food is top notch.

I have visited this place a few times for lunch and dinner. The food is good and fresh. The service is adequate. However, the portions are small. Not too much bang for your buck here…

Peking Chef is the best Chinese restaurant I’ve ever been to and I live in NYC with Chinatown at my fingertips! I’ve been going there for over 25 years and Mr Lee is one of the sweetest men ever! He always checks in and makes sure your food is delicious and will sometimes even send out some of his specialties on the house. The veggies are always crisp and the meat is high-​quality. Their complimentary noodles and duck sauce are definitely the best around. The Szechuan Chicken and General Tso’s are a must try! Go support Mr Lee and his team. You will not be disappointed!

Food is consistently fresh and delicious! I recommend the garlic chicken. I like that brown rice is an option. They never use MSG, which is a big plus in my book. Kids even love it!

Great food! My daughter absolutely loves this restaurant. She thinks it’s special treat to stop in for their Oolong tea. Front desk and wait staff seem very nice though there is a white haired older gentleman that does not treat them very nice, even in front of customers. One thing they do not have is Sesame Beef which I really like but their sesame chicken is probably «healthier» for me anyhow. Their fried noodles, wonton soup and General Tsos chicken are very good. I recommend passing on the beef sticks as they weren’t so great. All in all good Chinese food for northeastern PA

We went first time last night. Amazing food, great service. They have a lovely private room to make a special occasion more special. Highly recommend.

I keep coming back
The place is super friendly clean and food is served fast. It is a great place to sit and dine in because the service is really good and the food is inexpensive. My boyfriend and I like to come here on date nights because we can enjoy a good meal together get great service and relax for as long as we like. It never feels chaotic nor do we ever get rushed out and trust me we like to take our time and stay a while. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Take out was efficient, service was good, food was bland and the chicken had a horrible raw like texture. The shrimp was good, but the chicken outweighed any good.

Dinner. Not really much flavor — seafood overpowered by the brown sauce.
Service was fine.
However, first time ever I was charged for rice with a Chinese meal???
Seriously?
Used to love their location in Mountain Top.
This was just not up to par.
About a double bogey.
On my do not return list.

I came back here since it’s my grandma’s favorite place and must say I was impressed!
Not only did they upgrade the dining room and give it a minor facelift with some new décor, etc., but the service was quicker and more attention to detail was given.
Also, best egg-​drop soup in the area.

Blah and Bland American Chinese food — filling but lacks flavor.

Best Chinese ever! Will not eat Chinese anywhere else other then the Dallas or new Kingston location! Highly Reccommend!

This place offers decent Chinese food, and honestly may be one of the better Chinese food restaurants in the area. We had the peppered beef and vegetables, eggrolls, and eggplant. Honestly the food was a little bit overseasoned but the flavors were there. It was perhaps a little greasier than I would have preferred. All in all, a decent place in the area, but nothing to write home about.

My grandma is a regular at this Chinese hole-​in-​the-​wall and has been for close to 20 years. They serve no frills but delicious food and have lots of healthy options. Ambiance and service is nothing to write home about but the food is good and super cheap.

Very good if you order take-​out, but EXCELLENT if you eat in! We’ve eaten here several times and my family agrees that the food (all Chinese food, actually) is best eaten right out of the kitchen. The Chef’s Specials are almost all excellent– our faves are Three Flavors Chicken and the Black Pepper Beef (they use super-​tender, thinly-​sliced steak!) and the House Special Fried Rice, the Ho Ho dishes (get it spicy!) and the Kung pow shrimp. The only dish that we have found to be ‘eh’ (both times when we’ve ordered it) is the Happy Shrimp. They fry the shrimp too hard so that the it takes some strong chomping to eat it and the shrimp has completely lost its juiciness due to the overcooking. The thin noodles are also yummy as are the fried dumplings (we’ve had them steamed and they just don’t retain that heat for some reason. Nothing worse than lukewarm dumplings. The soups are pretty standard– kinda boring. The service is EXCELLENT. All the staff speak English well and are very attentive and pleasant. The place is much nicer than the standard restaurants around here. There are tablecloths, tables, booths and carpeting. We saw a lot of couples as well as families. We bring our 1-​yr old (who LOVES Chinese food, go figure) and the staff are always kind. They serve beer and liquor too but I go with the Chinese tea!

My favorite Chinese in the area. The wonton soup is delicious and I have yet to have a sub-​par meal.
