Really never do this but I feel compelled to share my experience. Where to start? 1) Last customers of the evening. Came in around 9, restaurant closes at 10. There were 3 other tables occupied. Expecting not to wait long but sadly was the opposite. Took 45 minutes to get our food. In that time our waitress checked on us only to take our order and after a long time, to bring it out. 2) Food came out, we were starving at this point. Expecting hot delicious food but no; food was cold. We literally took everything to go just to reheat ourselves at home. Was not going to take it at all but the manager insisted that we had to pay for the food; he cared more about the money than our dining experience. His response was "not sure why it was cold but we reheat the duck before it comes to you." (Did he really just say that?!) 3) Aside from the food being cold the three simple dishes that we ordered were mediocre. A whole Peking duck: cold, dry, tough $27. Chicken and broccoli: decent taste but again, cold so it took so much away from the meal. Also, asked for brown rice with my meal, waitress responded "sure," food came out with fried rice. I stated, "I asked for brown rice," she responded "that is brown rice." (The color) I had to explain to her that brown rice is a different grain of rice than the jasmine rice they use to make fried rice. I gave up after she said, "so do you want white rice then?" Crab Rangoon: nothing special; much better at my local Thai restaurant. First and last time at this low quality place.

Peking Chinese Restaurant has an Outstanding Friendly Staff, with the Freshest ingredients... meats, vegetables and such. Truly a Five Star Quality Chinese restaurant with the Best tasting food of any resturant within a 100 miles of Richmond. I recently invited a couple of friends there from the Williamsburg area and they both said after receiving their meal, it was a hundred times better than any of the restaurants in their area!!! I would rather eat at Peking in Chester, VA than any other style restaurant!!! Super Awesome Place to eat... and their dinner portions are extremely filling! Kudos to the Staff, M anagement, and Ownership!!! Ron Childs Chesterfield, VA

The food was very fresh! I enjoyed the shrimp Dim Sum and had a Schezuan Shrimp main course - both were flavorful and well composed. The Dim Sum was very subtle and delicate where the Schezuan sauce was extremely bold. I challenged the cook to "make me cry" with the use of heat. I wanted to see how well he could control the flavors with a request from a real pepper-head. I shed one tear at the end of the meal but there was an overall pleasant heat accompanying the sweetness. The vegetables in the sauces (both the entree and the Dim Sum) were very crisp and bright. I was quite satisfied with the meal and the moderate price.

I have tried just about every Chinese place in Chester and hoped this one would be better. I was sadly mistaken. My wife ordered us 2 General Tsaos Chicken , egg drop soup and egg rolls. We received something that resembled beef and broccoli and tasted horrible. The egg drop soup had corn in it which was just disgusting. They gave us spring rolls instead of egg rolls and my wife could not even finish a single bite of hers. I was so upset with the food I returned it driving 20 miles round trip. They offered to make me fresh Chicken and it was only marginally better that the original offering. I will never eat there again.

Every time we come here the food is always on point. I always get the pepper steak and onions with beef and brown sauce. Everyone is always so friendly and welcoming. And the waiters know the menu like the back of their hands. Restroom clean and so is the restaurant. Playing soft instrumental music in the background, which creates a relaxing environment. We continue to visit with my family as often as we can.

Loved the appetizers for 2, but steak was wildly over cooked and the lobster had very little flavor. If you get the Peking special for 2 make sure to use the orange they give you!! The prices are reasonable... Ill try something different next time. Our waiter was terrifically attentive and polite!

Walked in at 5:25pm and there were 6 associates standing around the counter. A man seated me I waited until 5:35pm nobody cared enough to leave the counter to take my order. So I got up and left. Used to eat there at least once a week, but not anymore.

The times Ive eaten here in the past - the food never disappoints. Our group consisted of 8, our server was attentive, brought our orders promptly and correctly. We werent rushed and had plenty of time to sit at the table and chat after dinner.

This is so far the best Chinese restaurant Ive been to in Richmond. The food is excellent, the portions are large, the hot tea is very good and fresh (and free), and the prices are surprisingly low for food this good. And the place looks nice too!

I picked up the basics, it turned out to be tasteless greasy egg rolls, beef and broccoli, was concerned the beef was bad, horrible and lomi noodles chicken was so dry, awful food. Went years ago and was best around, not now!

This place sucks. Id never eat here again. The food tasted like it was there for days. If there was a way to rate this place a negative star I would.

Hot tea is always good. Food is decent. Depending on where you sit though there is a funky wet mildew smell.
