Just moved to Tyler from Austin so weve been trying all sorts of new restaurants, this restaurant however has been the most disappointing of them all. We ordered 4 meals, 5 egg rolls (if thats what you want to call them) and an order of sugar biscuits to go. Every meal was over flowing with rice and had little to no meat or vegetables but plenty sause. The rice was way over salted but the sause had almost zero flavor, one of the orders was called Broccoli and you pick the meat so we chose chicken, there was literally 4 pices of broccoli FOUR! How do you have a plate called broccoli yet only have 4 pices and the chicken was hardly there. It was more like a soup with pices of chicken and some broccoli as a garnish with two heaping piles of rice. It was the same for the other 3 plates we got as well. The egg rolls were disgusting and filled with some sort of corn meal or something, I couldnt figure out what exactly was in those but they tasted like raw a hush puppy or cornbread mix. The only good thing I can say about this whole experience was the sugar biscuits, they werent over cooked, they were fluffy and had just the right amount of sugar. Overall I would give ZERO stars, I felt completely ripped off and felt as though I just spent 50 dollars on a ton of rice that wasnt even edible because of how salty it was. I wouldnt even be willing to give this place a 2nd chance even it were free or if someone was going to pay me to eat there because it was just that bad. I urge you to avoid this place and go somewhere else and if you know of a decent Asian place in this city please let me know because there is no way that this is the standard.

The worst experience I have ever had, first they messed up my order, which was for only one person, me.... Then after I called them they didnt believe me or something and wanted me to drive it all the way back up there or keep it in the fridge till I need it fixed. I text the guy a pic to his cell and then he said it wasnt even their food, well I guess I got that order messed up with the other 8 Chinese food places I swung by on the way back to the office. Anyways, stay far away from these idiots.....

They burnt my dads tsos chicken and when he sent it back and asked for chicken fried rice they brought him the kids portion and when my dad said they were ripping him off they said "well not all the pieces were burnt." Like it matters!?! We got into an argument with them and said we WOULD NOT BE BACK and they replied "I dont care you are just 1 of 100 people that come in here every day" Very horrible management and will NEVER go back and would recommend the same!

VERY VERY DISSATIFIED !!! WE WILL NEVER EAT THERE AGAIN! We ordered pepper steak, and Hunan Style, and I plainly asked for Fried rice instead of white rice on both orders. In fact, I repeated it twice that I wanted fried rice. Got home and they gave us white rice and on the Hunan Style, the vegetable was old and wilted. and on the peppered steak. It tasted like sweet and sour, instead of peppered steak. I couldnt even eat it. It made me sick! NOT HAPPY AT ALL!

Poor service, and even worse food. New owners have RUINED this business. Found 2 hairs in my food, politely asked for a refund without making a scene, and the manager rudely huffs and gave me attitude. Not to mention, one of the girls working there left an ice cream cone laying on the counter next to where the fresh rice is kept. GROSS. Ill take my business elsewhere.

at 11am ordered sesame shrimp and orange peel chicken. repeated order 3 times. received two orders of sesame chicken. not asked choice of white rice or fried rice. received 4 lumps of fried rice. some pieces of chicken were obviously last nights leftovers as the batter coating on those was tough and unfresh tasting. cannot give this location a recommendation.

I miss the former owners too, truly was the best Chinese place in Tyler. I have given the new restaurant 3 tries...no more. I ordered three different chicken meals...all were boiled tasteless chicken with a different sauce...this is not a Chinese Restaurant. I dont know what it is.

This place was average to me. I ordered beef broccoli and egg drop soup. The soup was really good but the entree was just average. They give you plenty of sauce, for those who prefer a saucer entree. However, the experience lacked heavily. I just didnt get anything out of it.

When you order their chicken it always comes way over done. The kitchen staff horse and play around while theres customers at the window waiting for food. Not one to complain about food Ill eat pretty much anything but never again at this particular location.

Our family eats here often and the food is excellent, always fresh and always plenty of food. The help is always kind and friendly. The restaurant is always clean. I would highly recommend this place to eat and you will not be disappointed. Happy eating!!!

Awful. Used to go alllllllll the time when I worked in Tyler for the HOMEMADE eggrolls. Went the other day not knowing ownership had changed. Got some kind of premade half the size GARBAGE. So disappointed. Wont be going back there again.

Their crab rangoon is AWESOME!!! The sesame chicken tasted great and was cooked with a crispy crunch -- HUGE plus. Served quickly through Drive-thru and portion size was above expectation. Will definitely be going back. A lot.

Oh man this place is freakin great. The best thing on the menu is the General Tsaos Chicken. Its great drive thru and eating inside is very nice you get to eat on real plates and silverware. Go eat here now. I am.

Food was off. Took back egg drop soup because it was orange in color and had a sour taste. Tried chicken wonton soup. No flavor. All of the food was old with no taste. Will not come here anytime soon.

Took a chance on this place and was pleasantly surprised. The food was amazing and the staff was very friendly and service was quick. I would give give 5 stars but the cleanliness could use some work.

I ate at the original Peking weekly for years. It was great and the personnel were very friendly and helpful. The new place has very poor food. I ate there 3 times. I will not eat there again.

This restaurant used to be good. Its gone way down. My meal was overcooked and over-seasoned. Soup was lukewarm. Service was so-so. Its just not very good.

Terrible. It used to be great (as a fast-food Chinese joint) but now it isnt. Ate there recently. There were bugs in the dining room on the floor. Be careful.

Pretty decent for drive thru chinese. I have never dined in so I cant report on the interior. The egg foo young and lo mein are good.
