As I sit here eating plate after plate of my delicious Peking Kitchen bounty, I can't stop raving about it to my roommate and my friends online right now.
This is hands down the BEST Chinese take-out I've ever had. I'm always wary of ordering seafood anything from anywhere beyond basic shrimp, but having read the other reviews about the place and Marina C's review in particular, I ordered the Dragon & Phoenix (half General Tso's, half seafood in white sauce) — AMAZING! When I saw "seafood" I assumed shrimp and squid and fish balls or something, but instead found delicious crab meat and shrimp w/ veggies only – SO GOOD!
I actually didn't have a menu to this place at all so I went entirely off yelp reviews and also got the orange beef (it is indeed like candy) and the mixed veggies in garlic sauce, which includes very nicely fried tofu. Basically I can't find a single thing wrong with anything I ordered. You'll have to try it for yourself. I'm so glad I found you, Peking Kitchen!
After trying a couple of Chinese fast-food restaurants in the area, Peking Kitchen remains to be, in my opinion, one of the top 2 (Chinese) restaurants around the neighborhood. The food manages to be steaming hot even after a 15min walk home. The broccoli is usually quite fresh and cooked perfectly. Not soggy and drenched in sauce like other places. The shrimp with Lobster sauce is actually pretty tasty and comes with jumbo sized shrimps. Their wonton soup, not authentic in any way, but it's decent — compared to what you get elsewhere. L's nephew loved his Chicken with garlic sauce – he won't eat the food from Ming Wok. Sesame Chicken is also pretty good. Their roast pork fried rice is really flavorful and they use good quality roast pork in their rice, which is a plus.
Portions are generous. The combos are big enough to feed 2, I share with L, who's over 200lbs and 6'3 and sometimes we still manage to have a little leftover. =D
I would skip getting their dumplings. The skin is ridiculously thick and their meat filling doesn't seem to be cooked enough. I steamed them in my wok for 5-7 minutes after they sat overnight in my fridge and we definitely noticed a huge change in taste and color. The meat was brown (originally it's like pinkish!!) and similar to what you get in a steamed pork bao bun.
Ok, this shit is the real deal.
At first, I was like, I don't like the atmosphere and walked out. I mean, it's nothing to look at. Then I realized I was just hangry and should probably get over myself.
The Kung Pao was so good, I kept stealing bites while my boyfriend wasn't looking. (Ok, he was looking and probably incredibly annoyed.)
It's not going to get points for being healthy. You are going to retain water like a champ after shoveling down their fried rice, but it's worth it.
Peking Kitchen is pretty much my neighborhood, go to spot for when I've got a Chinese take-out food craving.
I'm super-duper consistent when it comes to Chinese take-out and thus I normally get the same dishes.
Things I've been pleased by here include their sweet and sour chicken/white rice (I normally order a pint, trust me – totally enough for one starving person or 2 people with "munchies"), shrimp with lobster sauce & white rice (my pint statement from before also stands here!), ribs (did it once, could have been 'meatier' – I don't recommend so much) and my sister likes their chicken & broccoli and general tso' dishes.
I've had their steamed pork and chive dumplings and they're FINE for what they are for being "fast-food"-ish, but I'm a MEGA dumpling snob so if you're *not* then you'll like em. They also makes a mean (ie. Deliciouuuuuuus) scallion pancake – DO get it, it's fantastic.
Food here is cheap, consistent as far as quality and flavor go and the folks that work here are pretty friendly to boot! Service is great because they're quick but great at managing multiple customers and handling large orders at a time – some places might get flustered when asking for special requests (like I enjoy my sweet & sour sauce on the side so that my chicken stays crispy!) – they don't ask about it, they just DO which is great when your buying food and wanting it the way you want it.
I also like how they don't roll their eyes or make me feel like the scum of the earth when I request extra soy sauce packets. I like to drown my rice and meat in the stuff, it's part of the magical Chinese take-out experience for me! 😀
(New) Peking Kitchen is, by far, my favorite take-out spot in the JH/Woodside/Elmhurst area.
The service is super friendly and ridiculously fast-with the kitchen churning out 2 orders a minute. (The delivery times are also pretty quick). The large staff here always seem to be enjoying themselves. They're also always willing to accommodate customers (yay, extra spicy-extra crispy sesame chicken!) requests.
Cash only!
There is good chinese food here.. We have a lot of choices in the neighborhood… even on 37th ave in general you can get a lot of chinese food. This place is the only one I would go to if I wanted my General TSO's chicken cooked to perfection. They have a comfy space to eat also with nice lighted mural on the wall of a huge river. I have eaten at many of the Chinese Food places around Jackson Heights but this one is on top of the list.
