I spent some time living right in the downtown Flushing area, near the 7 train, and I tried all the Chinese delivery places until I found the best, and Peking Empire is it. Its a dive, but the food is great.The dough on the dumplings is very thick as someone else said.Raquel F was a total karen
The first time I got food from here I was pretty satisfied with the quality ect, everytime after it seemed to become less and less, fine that’s ok because this is the closest to my house, but when I realized everytime I would order the same thing and the price would be different I was a bit irritated. Then to top it off I would always order way more than 20 dollars worth of food but until I mentioned them giving me the free soda they chose not to even put it in, mind you it cost them cents AND I would always tip generously. This bothered me the lack of integrity they have, ALSO me being a regular customer you would think they would have the decency to give me the correct prices and do what they have advertised NOTHING I have ordered has ever been the price of the menu!!! The website vs the flyer vs the Actual price they give you is completely different. Make sure you are not a passive person because eventually you will feel taken advantage of.
There is a Chinese takeout place closer to me, but I walked the extra 6min or so because they were much nicer on the phone when I asked about credit cards (They actually dont accept Amex). Initially found them on Google Maps.General Tsos Chicken was good, not the absolute die hard best, but it was good and I knocked down the whole thing because Im a growing boy.My better half seemed to enjoy the Chicken with Eggplant and Garlic Sauce, it looked very very yummy and will most certainly try it later.I walked over to get menu and order, and $42 of food came out in less than 10min, and they seemed busy at the time, so that was cool.Definitely our go-to takeout place from now on!
Worst customer service I have ever experience in NYC. Straight off rude, very Impatient and disrespectful. You call for delivery and they rush you two minutes into the call. Asking, What do you want? In a very agressive tone, like if you are a big bother to them. They know your not chineese, so they just treat you bad. Disrespectfully, and agressively asking you What do you want? What do you want?Their food needs major improvement, especially the pork fried rice, beef fried and the other rices . Mainly because they barely cook the meat good and leave it almost raw. Their meats like spare rib tips are also raw in the inside. Disgusting raw meat these people can send someone to the hospital because they refuse to properly cook their meat. I mean they rush you through the order. So, thats probably how fast they cook their meat.Their chicken aswell taste bad, comparing to other I have tasted. The Girl on the phone is the most disrespectful chineese women I have ever spoken to in my life. I said I want to speak to your manager and complain about you because you should never speak to people like this. She yelled at me saying I dont care about you and left me hanging on the phone on purpose, while she was busy taking another order or talking to someone else. Run from this place, dont order from them. If, they cook with such bad attitude, you dont know what they could put in your food. They are MONEY HUNGRY, rude, mean, disrespectful, Zero business customer service skills. Not nice people.
They favor quantity over quality, but thats not a bad thing either, as their food is fresh and delicious.. most of the time. This place is a mad house on the weekends. AVOID ON WEEKENDS. Their sushi is off the hook, ya dig?What is wack juice? I never had that ...What it do pimpin?

2018-12-23Perfect lunch special in a hurry! We had the lunch special while waiting for another event. The General Taos chicken with fried rice was delicious along with the Hot and Sour Soup which was pretty spicy. We shared the meal and there was enough rice and chicken for two people.

2021-12-19This place is my local joint to go to chinese food. Their chicken broccoli with fried rice is always banging. I love it spicy so they make my food spicy upon my request. Chicken wings are delicious also.

2021-12-05The egg rolls were very small. I ordered beef with garlic sauce and discovered it was beef and broccoli when I got home. Otherwise, the food was well prepared.

2021-12-22A Gem in Flushing. My all time favorite place for Chinese Take Out. I’ve been eating from Peking for the past 22 years & it’s never a miss. I have my usuals, but then I’ll occasionally switch it up, try something new & everything is delicious & fresh no matter what. I’ve tried other places & none compare. I eat here so much, they recognize my voice over the phone & the delivery man stopped me once while I was walking, to say hi! I love them & their food. Seriously so good!
