Peking Cafe

Makes up prices as they go. Nasty food the only thing that’s good here is there rice. Use to get fried rice from them but one day I called and they said they no longer sale fried rice like they used to which doesn’t even make sense so I’ve stop eating here rather just eat a can a beans.

I always order from here. Their shrimp fried rice, combination fried rice, and shrimp lo mein and is way better than other local places I’ve tried.

General Tso’s chicken was good. It was crispy, but tasted too much like fish. The eggrolls were good, no complaints there. But way too overpriced for mediocrity. The man taking my order was cold and quick. Not great customer service. But if you want ok Chinese food and don’t really care, then yeah you could go here.

Had take out tonight. Dumplings were cold. Steamed beef and vegetables were clearly stir fried. Chicken with string beans didn’t have chicken. Chicken in the chicken and broccoli tasted off. Last time I order from here.

I had the Kung Pao Shrimp and it was good, fair portion, priced well. The cashier guy was kind of rude, maybe he doesn’t have good manners. I waited like 5 minutes, the food was very hot (big plus for me).
The atmosphere is ghetto 100% lol, come alone or with a good friend, don’t bring a date, wife or kids, the music sucks (today’s hits? Really?) and is got some flies inside (big minus for me).
BTW, the flies must be high because they are so stupid you try for them to go away and the stay put, WEIRD.

Ordered delivery from here recently, had the sweet and sour shrimp… the rice did not seem fresh and the shrimp was just covered in flour/​starch. Anyways after eating from here, the I started to get a numbness feeling on my tongue and lips. All this stress over some bad chinese food. never again am I going back.

Ordered General Tso’s chicken with fried rice and a spring roll. The rice and spring roll were great. The chicken was terrible– the few pieces I ate were all dark meat. I actually cut a chunk open and it wasn’t pretty– dark meat, fat, and some kind of binding/​breading. Off to the trash it went. When reviews are hit or miss and im close to a place id like to try sometimes I gamble. I lost this time. $ 13 and change for the dinner portion. Too pricey not to at least use breast strips to make the chicken chunks. Very friendly man at the counter though. Clean but cold dining room.

Ordered delivery from here yesterday, and wished I hadn’t. The food arrived and it was not the greatest there was. This lowered my rating now, and not sure if I will order from here again. I ordered the shrimp with cashews, wife got a chicken dish, not sure which one it was, and my daughter ordered the gen. tso chicken. Daughter was nto happy with the gen. tso, and the food tasted bland.
Not sure if new owners have taken over this place, or a new cook is in there, but they need to improve the quality of the food if they wish to have customers coming in and stay in business.

I have been to this restaurant for many years but my last order was very disappointed. I ordered 2 poultry dishes, chicken with broccoli and Moo goo gai pan. Both dishes were horribly salty, chicken on both dishes tasted the same, they tasted tasteless boiled chicken and masked with bland and salty sauces

We Iove this place for take out. Not a place to sit down and dine but great for delivery or pick up. The portions are huge, the food is always piping hot and they will cook it to your preference. The employees could use a lesson on how to greet customers but again, if it’s take out; take it and go. The food is definitely good!

Great food! Very friendly and quick. I got rainbow chicken in white sauce, and a crispy spring roll. The spring roll was piping hot, the dish was very fresh and tasty. Love this place

Worst service ever. They paid no attention to us whatsoever. It was 9:55 (they close at 10) and they were already turning off the music and walking out, and then they realized we were still sitting there eating. Yeah we got there kind of late but I’m just wondering what the kitchen looks like at the end of the night if they close at 10 and are out the door at 10:01. There is NO WAY that it is a clean kitchen. Would NEVER go there again.

Great food. Fast delivery. My whole family was very pleased. We will definitely order from here again.

I used to give this place 5 stars for their excellent chinese carry out. Their spring rolls were the best in Northern Virginia… tasted homemade, and not something previously frozen. However, seems like all good things do come to an end because they have recently changed their recipe for the spring rolls, and now they are just so-​so like any other Chinese take out. I’m so very disappointed. Please bring back the old recipe!

I only ordered Spring rolls, there was no one else in the place, and they over cooked them. Pass. There are lots of much better places.

Still one Star because the Food, if you can call it that, is still not that good! Came here with my Wife and sons, and it was a mistake!
My Wife was getting a Headache after we left, and too bad neither of us had any Asprin on us so we both could take it! Also, the tables were not cleaned at the time as well until right before we were ready to leave. All the tables were dirty! It wasn’t until we were getting ready to leave after eating, and not get sick yet, that someone was cleaning the tables. And don’t get me started about the service to order your Food either! That was terrible as well!
fried wonton and sauce horrible
the combimation lo mein awful please never order that
egg rolls terrible
orange chiken and beef and brocoli «soso»

NEVER written a negative review before, but I had to this time.
This place is a joke. The food was awful. The service somehow was worse than the food. We ordered $ 100 worth of their awful food and this guy made us feel like thieves as he would not take a cash order, and when we gave him a credit card, he then told us he would have to see the card when he comes to deliver it. We agreed and then he told us to hang up and wait for him to call us back to verify the order!!!
We then asked for 6 paper plates and he charged us 25 cents each?! On a 100 dollar order? Look I understand he runs a business, and he may have gotten screwed by fake orders here and there, but dont treat all of your customers like they are thieves, especially when we are giving you 100 bucks.
I will never eat this garbage again.

The lunch specials are awesome but the chef specials are freaking mouth watering. They deliver… rain or snow… gotta love that!

I am going to have to disagree with the other reviewers. Cheap – yes.
But I still felt ripped off.
The food was just very low quality and inedible. I took a few bites and then threw it away. The sauces were sweet poorly seasoned and the meat was terrible.
I had both a chicken and a steak dish. The chicken was mostly gristle and fat. And I enjoy dark meat – so it wasn’t that. It just wasn’t made of the actual chicken meat…
The steak was metallic tasting, dry and very tough.
I live right by the place, but get in the car and drive to a better place like Duck Changs if I want Chinese.
In this place, you really get what you pay for, and it isn’t much.

Cheap Chinese food according to Annandale standards — check
Shrimp toast — check
Dinner combinations below 10 bucks — check
Non vegetarian spring roll crammed with all cabbage — check
Counter dude more concerned with phone than anything else — check
And thus we have the makings of a decent takeout place. Note– hot and sour soup was the way I like it… detectable vinegar taste and chock full of mystery ingredients. Soup, shrimp toast, dinner combination plate = roughly 15 bucks. They also serve beer oddly enough.
