12 Best Chinese Restaurants near Pekin

“Always good, always hot, great and fast service. Definitely our go to for Chinese take out!“

“I was traveling through and stopped for a meal as it had a good rating. I'm glad I stopped and I would stop again. The front counter lady was wonderful! Sweet, efficient and quick. The food was really good. A lot of people came in for take out orders as I was sitting there and no one else sat to eat on a Monday evening around 5:30 pm.

Cons: I'm not sure if their back room is under construction but both walls in the dining room had stacks of boxes with drinks and whatnot. The tables were not clean so I used a wet wipe. The napkin dispenser was visibly dusty... Really dusty. I went to use the restroom after I had eaten and it was gross. Not sure if it was dirty or just old and nasty looking. I took one look and walked out“

“Very friendly and great food/drinks“

“Many of us locals have been supporting this business for a long time now and I believe the appreciation by the owner/s shows that with the low prices and superior food selection and quality all the way around. I especially like the vast variety of food choices and the hand dip ice cream station instead of the usual soft-serve that most places have. They were really thinking out of the box. Today I took my friend, Darryl out to eat at this Chinese buffet. He had never eaten such food and I figured it was time for him to escape from his comfort zone. He was very impressed and sure didn't step away from the table hungry. By the way the cherry on the cake was that they serve Mountain Dew. That is a must for Darryl wherever he dines. I had hot tea. Get on out and see for yourselves and spread the word.“

“The employees are super sweet, the food was out very fast, and the restaurant is very cute! Food was delicious ❤️“

“They gave me an extra scoop for having to wait 6 minutes for Beijing Beef. This is appreciated especially since I’m unemployed. I’ve been to Panda in Pekin three times now, everything is as it should be.

A month ago I was at a Panda in Bloomington on Market St. and I asked the lady to make me two plates as she would want them for herself. [I have trouble making up my mind. Also I hadn’t been there before]. She gave me an employee discount. Very nice lady. I came back later and gave her a tip. Very kind.

Thanks to the Two Pandas from a person with little money. It’s greatly appreciated on every level.“

“Best fried rice in the area with a lunch special that can't be beat. It's affordable and like any respectable chinese restaurant, they give you a lot of food. Like many restaurants, there are many things on the menu that are not outstanding, but the fried rice is very good. It's a little dingy, seemingly unclean, but let's be honest, these are the types of places that have the most flavorful food. With two brothers there to run the business every day with a rich history and a smile, this is a true hole-in-the-wall hidden gem.“

“This has been my favorite Chinese place ever! I’m a huge fan of Chinese food and this restaurant has continued to provide the tastiest food and best portions of any Chinese restaurant near here! I recommend the orange chicken, peanut chicken, and crab Rangoon!!“

“I have tried Chinese food at many of the local restaurants and have found this family run restaurant the best! They have a great variety and equally great prices esp. their lunch and dinner specials. Some favorites are the Hunan Chicken, General Tsao, and the egg rolls! They have an online ordering ap that works great! Not much room to eat in so I use for take out which is perfect for now.“

“It's not supposed to be a major 'dining experience' - it's a place where you can get some great Chinese food. As long as its open, they can take my money and give me extra spicy Tai Chien chicken, and I'll be happy. A little less grease on the egg rolls would be nice, but I'm still ordering them.“

“Used to order from China express ... decided to switch it up & I couldn’t be happier! Fast service. WONDERFUL FOOD!!! & better prices. Safe to say I have a new go to Chinese restaurant !:)“

“I had green bean fried rice bowl, it was good, would get again. Chicken egg roll was ok. My husband liked beef & peppers which I tried, it was good. He got plate so his other 3 sides were chow mein noodles, fried rice & orange chicken. He liked it all plus his side of crab rangoon.“
