Peking Kitchen

Super tasty and fresh food! We just moved here and have been looking for a good Chinese restaurant nearby. Great prices too

Second time at Peking Kitchen and it will probably be our last. The food is priced for a good deal but the quality just isn't there. My girlfriend loved her sesame tofu but that was about the only good thing we had. The beef with broccoli was tough with only four or five pieces of meat. The sauce on the orange chicken tasted like it was from a jar. The service was not good as the young girl could do more than one thing at a time. Take an appetizer order, leave, bring two drinks but not the third, then leave but come back five minutes later for our order. Just not very efficient and she knew nothing about the menu. Worse of all, she named off the fountain drinks only to come back and tell us they were out of one, leave and then tell us they didn't have anything but lemonade or iced tea. So many order places to try and I would suggest you avoid this one. I like to support local restaurants but I won't support this one.

Love the food every time I've ordered takeout However when I dined in I wasn't a fan, due to the soda tasting flat asked for a different one that was also flat other than that service was great and attentive and food great!

Couldn't find a place to eat Chinese food. Decided on this place for late dinner and food was blah. Will not be coming back. More of a Hispanic flavor and had to add soy sauce to get a chinese flavor.

Not bad for the quick fix but that Mongolian Beef could use less mushrooms, the beef fried rice is FYAH!!!

So I called them and just ordered their chow mien and it was the best I've had so far out here in El Paso. It was ready in 5 mins for pick up. It was nice and still warm. It was so good I ate half before I remembered to take a picture lol

There comes a time in every man's (or woman's) life when you find the greatest thing purely by accident. Such was the case for me today, considering I wasn't even looking for another great Chinese restaurant since I found Soya Cafe the week prior. However, that was all put to rest when I came across a little corner of heaven known as Peking Kitchen (not to be confused with Peking Garden). But it's...definitely not perfect.Okay, so I should clarify a thing: this place is actually Szechuan style cuisine, but that's still an overall theme of Chinese. Only...south western Chinese. What does that even mean to us plebeian American consumers of all things? Not a damn thing.They serve all the appetizers and sides you would expect from a typical Chinese place. Today I decided to try one of their lunch specials. Once again, like their distant cousin Soya, the lunches were well priced for what they had to offer. In fact, I'd say I enjoyed their menu configuration even more because they just had more to offer. Basically, you get a main course, soup of your choosing, an egg roll, and your choice of fried or white rice.So being the huge seafood connoisseur that I am, I decided I wanted to see what their butterfly shrimp was all about. It was nothing like I expected, but that wasn't necessarily a bad thing. The best way I can describe it is...deep fried shrimp meets sweet n' sour sauce. The texture and flavor were all great. I wasn't a fan of the pineapple swimming in sweet n' sour sauce and resembling the color and appearance of cubed grapefruit, so I left it on the plate.Now, here's where things become both interesting and mixed. First, I had what was possibly the BEST cup of egg drop soup I have ever tasted since moving back to El Paso! I'm talking about the kind of egg drop soup that's perfectly seasoned, perfect broth consistency, plenty of egg (of course) AND....they serve a copious portion of fried wontons perfect for dipping into the soup. I also love the fact that it was piping hot when it came out...but not like, boiling hot. So many other places screw that up.For a side, I ordered the fried rice and...this is where things get mixed for me. Because I'm a huge fan of fried rice, both in the Japanese and Chinese cuisine. That being said, today's fried rice was bland and forgettable. It had hardly any egg in it and lacked so much flavor that I had to add a dash of soy sauce just to continue eating. Not a complete fail; just a bit of a let down. So here's what I intend to do for my next visit, and I'm sure you'll agree: just get the white rice instead and season to taste with soy sauce and enjoy. If I'm gonna eat stoic rice, it might as well be the white rice. At least then I don't have to worry about avoiding the peas. I also didn't care for the presentation. I dunno what it is...it's just something about a pile of rice looking as if it was placed on the plate and molded with an upside down funnel that seems unappealing to me.The egg roll was a near miss for me as well. Because whilst the outside was crispy and inviting, the inside (ya know...the part that matters?) was slightly bland and unexciting for me. Again, I had to pour a dash of soy sauce inside the egg roll in order to enjoy it fully. I usually never do this, btw.Other than that, I really don't have much to complain about this place. I want to return for lunch one day soon. The inside looks and feels very comfy and is the total opposite of cramp. I have to wonder if this is a fairly new restaurant because they only have 1 review from a few days ago so far. And so...I had to put them on the market and make sure everyone far and wide knew that this place is easily a comfy lunch spot worthy of 4 perfectly seasoned bowls of egg drop soup accompanied with crispy delicious fried wontons which taste like heaven on earth out of 5.

I don't like trying new places to eat but I gave them a chance. This place blew my mind and it's really good. Definitely recommend it to my friends and family. Five stars and the staff really friendly and professional

Food was no good, took 1 hour and few minutes to get delivered.I paid with my card over the phone, and this place added another charge listed as ND of 142.16 that it showed on my statement. So basically they committed Fraud using my information.

Be careful when ordering here. If u order a lunch special for $6.75 you get soup, egg roll and fried rice with it. If you get the same the for dinner and pay 9.25 that's all you get. No soup no egg roll not Even rice and DO NOT order the butterfly shrimp because youll get this gross mess. And the lady that answers the phone the host is the most rudest person to speak to.
