I asked like three times for my food to be made to dine in and I was handed takeout, so I thought this is a little weird but maybe it’s just how they do it. So I started eating and then the cashier came over and was like«it’s fine this time, but you can’t eat your takeout here» like… okay then… I specifically said«for here» and you gave me takeout. Anyway I left immediately cause i felt so awkward. Their vegetable fried rice doesn’t even have broccoli in it anyway. Like isn’t that a little weird ???

Excellent service, and quality ingredients. I took my mother here to celebrate her birthday and we had a great time. The server took our picture and really put effort into getting a good shot. The owner came out and said Happy Birthday to my mom, and made her feel very special. It was nice, too, to take my mom for a walk around the nearby stores where I could buy her a thing or two to remember the special day.

Peking Chef is worlds apart from most of the other Chinese places that have sprung up in the Valley. Many of the newer places are like Chinese versions of the greasy spoon(greasy chopsticks?), and not in a good way. Peking Chef is a big step up from those places. Food: The food here is delicious and fresh, and they are willing to customize your order. Staff: The staff is friendly. Sometimes they can sound harried on the phone when I call in my order, but that’s probably when I call during a rush. Delivery: They offer a limited delivery service but seem to be reluctant to do so, especially if your order is on the smaller side. Price: Like others have said, it is a bit pricey for Chinese food. To me it’s worth it to pay a little more to get some tasty Chinese food that I know will be high quality. If the price were lower, I would definitely order from them more frequently though. (This review is for the Kingston location, I haven’t tried the others. I never eat in there, opting instead for takeout.)

The best Chinese food restaurant in all of Kingston and Wilkes Barre hands down. Food is fresh and clean all natural ingredients and taste delicious. A little bit on the pricey side but it’s worth it. Would recommend to anyone who wants a fresh Chinese dinner.

I have been going to this restaurant for many years. The food is real, made fresh and it may be a bit more pricey than other restaurants, but you get what you pay for. I was served my meals always on real dishes, never plastic. The portions are decent, not huge, but I always end up taking mine home for the next day. If you want a really nice experience, and good food, stop here. You will not be disappointed at all.

I’m a Chinese student studying in the US. Peking chef’s dishes remind me of home. The black pepper beef is absolutely the best I’ve ever had! I’m gonna miss this place so much when I leave for college. The boss is really nice and always send us some new dishes to try. Make sure that you have a look at the new Chinese special menu. They are very original and keep the essence of Chinese traditional food.

The staffs are very kind. The food is fresh~ as a student from China studying abroad. The taste from home! And they have seasonal food if you ask and they’ll cook for your demands.

Not good. Been going to Peking Chef for years. For an «express» a few glaring flaws: no lunch menu & too expensive. Menu is the same as the Dallas location’s dinner menu. Diners get to choose Regular(roughly $ 8) or large($ 12). Again, no lunch menu. So for lunch I paid $ 8 for a small portion of General Tso’s chicken on a styrofoam plate. The biggest problem was the food. The chicken was rubbery. I asked for«3 out of 4» spiciness. Not only was it not spicy, it was flavorless. Customer service was fine, even if a little confused. I will not be back.

Only had take out, but the food is pretty good. It is one of the better Chinese restaurants in the area, but it tends to be expensive. I’m a wonton soup junkie and theirs is good but not the best I’ve ever had.

Peking Chef Express sets itself apart from the others by using good, quality ingredients. I got takeout. — The broccoli tasted fresh, not frozen. — The shrimp was large and tasty. — Wonton soup broth wasn’t overly salty. — They have brown rice! — Sauces weren’t greasy. The only downside was that it was a bit pricey. The portions may not be as large as you’d get in other places, but it was nice to eat Chinese food without feeling gross and hungry again after an hour. Maybe the better quality ingredients are more filling than the cheap ones. I would definitely order from here again.

This is by far the best Chinese food that I’ve eaten at since living in Kingston. The beef lo mein is my favorite. Their large size is like two meals in one. Never eaten in the restaurant yet, just take out, but the service is always quick and the staff is very friendly.

I live with two fat guys named Bill and Dave, they order from this place about five times a week — chowing down like maniacs. They can’t get enough, I’m a medium size guy, and my girlfriend is a small sized person. We order about two times a month, much less than the fat guys, and we enjoy it. It’s a little more high end — so if you want to seem like less of a scum bag to girls and not take them through the drive thru maybe try this. A tip, that my two fat, girl friendless roommates may want to take into consideration. I have another roommate, who is medium size guy, and has a very poor diet — mostly cold pizza and beer. He likes this place too, I think. Over all it makes fat guys who order Chinese all the time feel a little healthier because it’s not as greasy — but still will put you into the regular Chinese Coma, that is experienced with most Chinese food. The girl was nice to us when we ordered too, and the delivery driver is awesome. I guess since Happy Family is gone, this is going to have to do.

A swing… and a miss! Unfortunately, the poor execution took away from the great concept. Peking Chef Express was marketed as a «Subway» version of the regular Chinese food joint. The menu is up on the wall behind the counter, prices and all, and the drinks can be found in a cooler near the door. The right call would be to have the customer enter, place their order at the counter, grab a drink from the cooler, and have the food brought to their table(which they choose, no «hostess» needed), on plastic dishes and paper cups. I entered around 1pm on Saturday and walked to the counter to place my order, and was told I needed to get a table. Once I was seated by the hostess, who might be the most confused person this side of an old-folks home, it took at least 10 minutes for the waitress to come over and take my drink order. About 5 minutes later, she returned with a bottle of diet Pepsi from the cooler and walked away again. 5 minutes more, and I had to ask if I could order. The food finally came out about 10 minutes later, with a very, very small portion for an extremely inflated price. Not to mention the food was cold and flavorless. I could’ve gone to ANY Chinese food place down the street for half the price and better quality, and got exactly what I had expected. This experience was enough to prevent me from returning to this location, and also think twice about giving their parent restaurant in Dallas any more of my business. The entire experience was totally off-putting. Hopefully, they improve upon the service aspect of Peking Chef Express, or they’ll be packing everything up and moving it back to Dallas in a month or two.
