Peking Express

I have been ordering from here for years but in the last year, the quality has disappeared from the food. Its too bad cause it used to be a real good food coming out of there. My resent, I ordered 5 items easy $ 60 bucks, Half my ribs looked like they where from the day before, barely any chicken in my soo guy and everything tasted like everything had been cooked in really old oil. pretty sad. If the owners are reading this .get you sh$t together, the food is getting pretty bad listen to your customers or your going to have no customers. people don’t appreciate paying good money for lousy food

By the neighborhood that this is found in, you wouldn’t expect too much, but it’s actually very good food. The take out menu says ‘How long has it been since you had a proper egg roll?’. In the case of Peking Express, it IS fairly high quality. The filling and sauce are actually quite tasty. The chicken almond guy doing is very tasty, as are the American standards such as chicken balls and fried rice. Combo specials are well priced and the service is friendly. Has daily specials of you order above $ 30 of food. Check it out

fast service and priced fairly reasonable. i should start giving good restaurants bad reviews and bad restaurants… good reviews. This way, I dont have to wait in line, but i wont. highly recommended.

Very impressed with the food from here. Tried the lemon chicken which had a not too sweet lemon sauce and the Thai banana rolls that were everything I expected and more! Will definitely return!

OMG! The Szechuan beef dish smelled like rotten flesh.
I have a strong stomach so I thought lets taste it to see. WOW! It melted in my mouth like it was predigested and tasted like sh_​_​. I’ve never experienced anything this foul in my life. disgusting!
The management only offered me a credit and had no explanation whatsoever. Since I will never eat from this fine establishment ever again, they get to keep my credit.
What a nightmare. I don’t even know if I was eating beef or something imitating beef

Outside of the excellent delivery time this meal was nothing short of tragic. Stringy beef, chicken of the lowest grade, pork which was little more than breaded and sauced cartilage chunks.
The meal was essentially inedible.
Positives… outside of the delivery speed (which again we appreciated) would be… the wonton soup was decent (three stars) and the egg role was edible (two stars).

My girlfriend and I ordered delivery from Peking Express last night (Saturday night).
Delivery time was fine (no earlier or later than most restaurants), the delivery guy was nice and the food was warm to hot when it arrived (the warm being perfectly fine since it was cold out last night).
We did not enjoy the food.
The egg rolls were fried thick with little filling. They did have crunch but were bland tasting. They were not extraordinary by any means.
The chicken balls were massive balls of dough with miniscule amounts of meat. The meat was dark meat. Total disappointment. Also, Peking Express offers chicken balls in quantities of six or 12 and unless you specify you want six, they will sell you 12 (for twice the cost). That’s my bad — we should have specified — but the chicken balls were still awful.
The lemon chicken was a large container filled with what must have been six chicken breasts (so keep in mind the quantity is huge when you’re ordering other dishes). The lemon chicken has a crunchy fry to it but, with respect to another poster who said in his/​her post here, I would respectfully disagree in calling the chicken legendary — it was merely ordinary. The lemon sauce comes on the side and we found to be mild and thin — I prefer it sweeter and tangy.
The black bean beef schezuan style had tasty beef but we found there was very little beef and green peppers relative to the large amount of onions.
The lo mein with veggies was your standard lo mein with veggies but it was quite greasy.
Overall, we were disappointed with the food. We know Peking Express is not upscale or necessarily authentic Chinese food but we found it ordinary, bland tasting and below average compared to other Canadian Chinese food restaurants in the city.

It is a fast, cheap, and sometimes surprisingly good takeout place. Food quality to price makes this a go to for me.
I’ve had some really good meals from here. I’ve also gotten a few mediocre dishes (though still leagues better than Westown Chinese). But overall my experience here has been positive.
I find that its best to order in groups, because one item per person will give you a good variety and leftovers for under 10 $ per person. It is also a good way to see where their specialties are (i’m a fan of the cantonese chow mein).
Also if you are in the area and able to pick up, there is a pickup discount and the have daily specials that can be a really solid value but are limited to pickup only.
I would also like to say they have really good staff. They are have always been cheerful and don’t rush me on the phone like most chinese takeout places. When they gave me one of the wrong dishes once, they offered to give me a free one on my next order right away, which was more than fair.
Overall solid meal for the price, fast delivery, and good staff make up for any short comings in my opinion

Going to start off by saying this is hands down my favourite place to order Chinese food in the whole city! No doubt the prices are amazing and the people who work there are all really friendly and love their customers.
I always order the same items:
Chicken fried rice — simple and amazing, the rice never sticks and is always delivered hot warm and so delicious.
Egg rolls — they are really proud to serve them and they make them in-​store I believe! Really delicious.
Chicken balls — OMG without a doubt the best chicken balls! The batter is not too heavy or too light. The chicken to batter ratio is about ⁵⁰⁄₅₀ which is perfect! The chicken inside is always juicy and seasoned!
Chicken wings — simply deep fried and delicious.
Lemon chicken — chicken is a must the batter is thick BUT very very crispy tasty batter, the sauce is decent but the chicken itself is legendary.
This place is a Westernized Chinese food place, yeah it’s gonna be greasy but coincidentally this place just nails it. Never have I received an order where there was a tone of grease in the boxes. It is hands down the best in Toronto for your Chinese fix. Also they have 5 cent specials where you can order a whole dish if you spend a certain amount.
Enjoy!

Worst Chinese delivery I have ever got. Food arrived in a small bowl size for $ 12-​$ 15 each. Delivery took 45min and had no sauce or utensils. Food was poorly seasoned and some vegetables were raw in stirfry.

I ordered food on Just Eat — worst $ 60 order of my life. Avoid this place!
What we got:
— Small quantity of food
— Bland taste
— NO UTENSILS IN THE BAG, like how do you forget utensils and napkins during take-​out?
— We even gave a nice 15% tip beforehand… regret doing this.

Food and pricing was not bad. However, the delivery time was horrible.

This is our go to Chinese delivery place. Delivery is always fast, seriously sometimes like 15 minutes fast, and fresh. I always get the Cantonese Lo-​Mein, which is delicious with toasted noodles. Definitely big enough for sharing. Husband usually gets «traditional» fare of chicken balls, wings and rice. Which are also good, not as greasy as some other places. And the egg rolls, I don’t know what it is, but I’ve never had better.

Wow, that was some tasty grease-​laden food.
The Highlights:
— Lemon chicken (I’m imagining it was triple deep fried… in crack)
— Singapore noodles (very tasty, but yes, greasy)
The Let Downs:
— Chili chicken (just some fried chicken pieces with some spicy mystery powder, do not order this one)
— BBQ Pork (it looked steamed… can’t recommend)
— Thai Fried Rice (poorly mixed, there were big clumps of unseasoned rice in there)
If you’re going to order from here, consider the first two and explore the menu a little deeper. Needless to say, $ 45 here (incl delivery, not including tip) will feed two people for at least 3 meals.

Not great, but if you do a walk in and you take out one of their specials posted on their wall, it is fresh and tasty. Specifically I ordered the Shanghai noodles. It’s fast and fairly priced. A culinary masterpiece, no. But somehow satisfying.

I’ve just lost confidence in Unilocal.
Ordered for delivery. Arrived without chopsticks. Hot and Sour Soup looked weird. Crispy noodles were mushy. Kung Pao chicken was pretty weak at best.
Will not order from Peking Express again.

This is the only place I will order for Chinese food.
1) It’s a delicious grease plate of wonderful
2) It’s fast. I mean you call in your order and 20 minutes later it’s at your door
3) The delivery man is always so nice.
4) It’s cheap!

When I lived in the area this was my go-​to dirty feed place. It’s good old greasy Chinese food at a good price.
The menu is a decent size and has a range of options for everyone. As with most places like this, there is a discount if you pay cash. I don’t think I’ve used their delivery service (maybe once?), but every time I’ve gone in here the staff have been good.
It isn’t fancy, but the food is good and will fill you with all the regret you want after gorging yourself.
Nov. 30-​day challenge ³⁶⁄₃₀

Ordered some take out from this place and I ordered the following three dishes
Lemon Chicken: Lemon sauce good chicken was OK.
Emperor Beef (Hot): Not hot enough IMO lots of veggies
Sweet and Sour Prawns: were surprisingly still pipping hot when I got them. 8 good sized pieces (mostly batter)
Portion size ranged from OK (Beef) to generous (chicken)
Food is typical Americanized version i.e. lotsa batter on fried items. You do feel heavy after eating the food but I guess that’s the idea.
Service was great as I got a call from them half and hour before delivery that might be running late due to the rush hour even though they delivered on time.
If I want my greasy Chinese fix this is the place I would call.

I ordered delivery them when I was in no mood to cook. I got the Lemon Chicken and some eggplant in oyster sauce.
The lemon chicken was full of thick and juicy strips, with a not overly sweet lemon sauce. The lemon grass was a nice touch to the sauce. The eggplant dish was just right, it was not overcooked and mushy like how so many places screw it up.
The deliver was free and arrive in about 40 minutes. I kept their flyer on hand for future episodes of laziness.
