Peking House

FAMILY FOOD ADVENTURE IN LAKELAND!!!When you walk in it is very ancient looking, not traditional as it would look if they updated the decor.We ate and got many things. I'm not going to spend time listing everything b/c honestly everything was just ok.There was not really a single dish that stood out or gave me a reason to go back.Price to food value was not really great either.I'm sure some people like it as there were a few other tables when we went, but place was pretty empty.Service was ok as well, nothing spectacular.If this place renovated, updated their dishes and stepped up their customer service they might have something, but for us it was a 1 and done in its current state.As always TRY IT FOR YOURSELF!!!

The Service Is Alway's Good ,The Restaurant Is Always Clean,Bathroom alway clean,All the food is good except for the crab Rangoon no crab ,The Owner's Are Very Nice.

I stopped in for a late lunch and I was literally the only customer inside. I was told to choose any table and water was brought to me. I ordered an egg roll and shrimp lo mein. The egg roll came out quick and was piping hot. It was full of flavor and the plum sauce added an extra layer of flavor. The shrimp lo mein was missing some flavor. I added broccoli to the dish and the broccoli was cooked perfectly. The shrimp and noodles had no seasoning and I had to add quite a bit of soy sauce to get some flavor.

I went here for an afternoon lunch/ early dinner. There were only 2 other tables there. So overall the service was pretty quick due to the low volume of people. The server and other individuals working were very kind. However, the food really wasn't the best Chinese food. I got orange chicken with fried rice. The orange chicken lacked flavor and the rice was average. I probably would not go back due to the taste not being great and the dated interior of the location.

Quite place. Pretty good service. Food was good. I went with a friend. I had the beef and broccoli and she has the shrimp with lobster sauce. The serving sizes were ok. Not like most Chinese restaurants where you have enough for 3 on one plate. LOL

Food and service is fantastic! Get you some fried egg noodles! Never disappointed when eating here.

We love the Peking House. It's one of Lakeland's little treasures, not quite hidden away south of downtown on South Florida Avenue. It is the only sit-down Chinese restaurant in Lakeland. When I found that out and saw pictures online, I became very excited because it reminded me of restaurants I had been to as a child. Inside, it still has that old world Chinese-American looking antique feel with the large red moondoor separating two dining rooms. It's hard to define the Peking House, it's not fancy, it's not casual, it kind of straddles both. They do a lot of take-out, especially now with the pandemic, but before they had table cloths and you could feel fancy while eating in your nice blouse and jeans. Their menu has both the standard favorites and house specialties, including duck. Their food is so good. We are egg drop soup and egg roll fanatics and they make some of the best. Always fresh. Any dish you order, is always very generous with the meat versus vegetable ratio. Also, when you order a spicy dish, they will ask you what heat you would like: medium, hot, or extra hot. Medium is very good, hot is HOT, AND we've never tried extra hot! Their fried rice is very savory and flavorful.One of our fave tips, a regular dinner entree can be enough for two people. There is a LOT of food packed in those to go containers. Add soup and a couple of egg rolls and you've got a very affordable meal. Another tip - the main door looks to be on the corner of S. Florida Ave. and W. Oak Dr. but it's not, it's actually the door on W. Oak Dr. that faces Southgate Shopping Plaza. Drive down W. Oak Dr. and park behind that little shopping center that holds Peking House. There is actually plenty of parking there. If not, park in Southgate Plaza.

The ambiance of the place is beautiful! Very friendly employees also! They even sell fancy chopsticks and things at the counter. Food is only decent tho.

The general tso's chicken has been my go-to for the past 10 years. The portions are humongous too for such a small price!

Ordered to go house chicken and kung Pao. Both were not good at all and a complete waste of $40. They've gone downhill sadly.
