I stopped here specifically because the food use to be delicious. I paid $15 for a lunch special. Chicken chow mein and fried rice. The rice is not fried rice, it’s brown rice. No egg and I found 1 pea, that’s it. The chow mein use to be my favorite and it is flavorless. The spring roll was good. But $15 for plain rice and some noodles. No thank you

I ordered the sesame chicken lunch special, the fried rice isn't fried rice it's just regular rice, why call something fried that isn't? No peas or anything. After eating the egg roll and a few piees of the chicken I started getting a bad stomach ache. I didn't trust eating the food so took it back and did at least appreciate they gave me a refund. I've never gotten sick like that from chinese food, they must use MSG in their food. The chicken was cooked fine, but the sauce sucked it was super thick, gelatin like and flavorless.

I needed to find a restaurant that’s open later than most last night. I’ve driven by this restaurant for many years but something about it didn’t entice me to stop in.
Eventually I did read reviews because I have been looking for a more traditional Chinese restaurant because there’s fewer of them; in general the reviews weren’t favorable but I decided to try it myself due to circumstances.
I forgot to ask for it without MSG, it probably was filled with it. They don’t offer low sodium soy sauce which is very unusual in my experience.
I ordered my usual favorite Chinese dishes: fried wontons and prawns with lobster sauce. I’m uncertain what was inside the wontons but it tasted terrible!! I was hungry but, I only ate a few, and then only ate the part without the mystery meat inside.
The prawns themselves were good but the sauce simply tasted bad; perhaps the MSG was the culprit but the peas and carrots seemed to be from a can instead of fresh but I don’t know for certain.
Additionally, just ordering the fried wontons, prawns with lobster sauce and white rice which wasn’t included cost me almost $40 with tax!!!! I took home the remaining white rice; I ate all the prawns but left everything else because I knew that I would never eat it.
There are positive reviews which surprise me but it depends on what you order; one reviewer mentioned asking not to have MSG on it but I sadly assumed that it’s well known not to use it anymore.
The table I was sitting at had tape on the booth, in general the environment looks old and not taken care of yet not actually uncomfortable.
Well I should have listened to my gut feeling about this place and the bad reviews; it was both the timing and my interest in this type of Chinese food as to why I gave it a chance. BAD IDEA, especially for such a high cost! Food prices have gone up yet I believe that the last time I had Chinese food similar to this, it was 1/3 - 1/2 the cost and tasted good!
I’m extremely busy lately but I decided to write this review to warn people to absolutely ask to not include MSG in the food in case that’s at least part of the problem but whatever was inside those wontons was tasteless with a strange texture too. Oh, and the usual sauce to dip it into had a strange texture yet acceptable taste for sweet and sour sauce.
I usually take pictures of my food but it was late and I was hungry, it actually looked good but obviously looks can be deceiving. Again, the price made this experience even worse….
One more comment is that there were two men talking VERY LOUDLY about seemingly personal issues. Otherwise the noise level was normal. But it was strange that both men who didn’t appear elderly just happened to be talking very loudly.

Great food and service at a reasonable price, not crowded .
I’ve only ordered take out, and the food is delicious! My favorite dish is the Crispy Eggplant!
Lounge atmosphere restaurant.

Peking House — Our Absolute Favorite Chinese Restaurant!
Peking House is hands down the go-to spot for me and my wife when we're craving Chinese food. We've tried just about every dish on the menu and each one is fabulous! From the rich, savory flavors of their General Tso’s Chicken to the perfectly balanced Chef's Special Wonton Soup, every bite is a delightful experience that keeps us coming back for more. Even their vegetable dishes are bursting with flavor and freshness.
The service? Absolutely impeccable. The staff is fast, friendly, and genuinely personable. They treat you like family from the moment you walk in, remembering your favorite orders and even checking in to see how your day is going. That kind of warm, heartfelt hospitality is a rare gem these days.
Being at Peking House feels like gathering around the table for a home-cooked meal with family—comforting, satisfying, and filled with joy. If you're looking for a place where every dish is a winner and the atmosphere makes you feel right at home, look no further. Peking House delivers every time!
Food is great, building is old and service is ok... but worth the trip
If we could give it a ZERO, we would!!! Went there last night, waited 30 mins at the counter, being ignored. Finally got seated at a table, waited another 30 mins for bus boy to bring water and tea, and another long while for a waitress toshow up. Finally ordered our food and waited again for it to show up, meanwhile others who were seated well after us were being served. Food was pretty much cold and dried out and not edible. Bathroom was disgusting and dirty as well. We did not eat and walked out!!! We understand it was Christmas Eve and busy but this was ridiculous and a completely negative experience for us. The Health Dept needs to make a serious visit to this place!!!
Been coming here for years. Good eats and I love their hot n sour soup. Usually get the beef or almond chicken. Pretty good value, fair portions, you won't get stuffed but lunch special solid.
