👍👍 Food was good and didn't have any bad experience after that. I don't know why people are hating on this small place, I think maybe the people of Detroit should get a one star review. People often mention chicken, good, order, shrimp, meal, fried, rice, Chinese,

    I feel like the recipe for the food sold has some how changed for the worse. I usually order the pepper chicken or the sesame seed chicken and the after taste is bad. Have any of you ate the food while trying to drink a flavored beverage such as kool-aid, soda, or tea? It tastes weird right? I don't like that taste at all. Tastes like someone added drugs to my meal. Not a fan

    This is the nastiest food I have ever eaten. The jumbo fried shrimp, the shrimp was cut in half. The shrimp fried rice looks like they just threw the shrimp on top. The sweet and sour chicken was hard and dry. I threw the whole meal in the garbage. Don’t waste your hard earned money on garbage. I want to give zero starts but, I had to give them 1 star in order to post.

    Food was good. But when I went to go pick up my food a 9 year old boy was the only one I could see working and was processing my order. He did great but no way that’s legal. 3 stars for illegal child labor.

    Super good! I would rate it an 8/10 Every time I come I get spring rolls or shrimp egg rolls & fried rice with honey chicken! They have the best honey chicken ever! Service is very fast as well. Definitely recommend. Reminds me of mall Chinese food places in the food court lol

    The worst Chinese food I've had in a very long time. Ordered through their app and when I got there they said the prices went up from the menu that they have listed on their website. Also, the meal I ordered clearly stated it came with shrimp fried rice but once there they refused to honor what is listed on their site. The food size was very small for the price and all my food was over cooked and nasty. Will never return.

    Foods were ok, not like the food quality years ago when it was a buffet style back in the 90's . I ordered BBq ribs and orange chicken.

    Instead of taking your payment online, they make you pay when you get there, apparently so they can surprise you with a higher bill than their website quoted you when you placed your order. I can’t speak as to the claims of cockroaches and bad food but ripping you off for a measly dollar or two seems more important to them than happy customers not to mention common civility. Also the child who labors there seems to be almost always working - those claims are true.

    Overall, awesome take-out! First time trying it - we ordered General Tso's chicken which came with fried rice and an egg roll, egg drop soup and Lo Mein. I think the noodles were the best I've had as take-out in Detroit. Chicken was more lightly breaded than other places which made it feel less heavy. Very good sauce on the chicken! Egg rolls were delicious. Too much white pepper in the egg drop soup for me. Ordering on the phone was easy. I didn't have a menu so the person taking my order was able to help me through it. Pick up was quick. Interior is large and clean. They don't do dine-in. Affordable. Not sure what's up with all the negative reviews. Maybe they have improved recently. Will go again!

    I have been living in Detroit my entire life and I can honestly say that this is the best Chinese Food restaurant in the entire city! This is a hidden gem in the city and can proudly recommend this place! I mean the portions are worth the money and the taste and quality of this food is out of this world!!! Give Peking Express a try for yourself!!! It make you come on here to leave a 5 STAR review because the food is that GREAT!

    The service from this restaurant has tremendously went down since the corona virus originated. I used to love this place, but now they’re so rude. Definitely will not return after the last order i received from them. I wish i could give 0 stars.

    It's been a minute since I'm into this location. I must say things have really taken a downturn. First of all they have a young kid working the front desk that seems to be more interested in his phone than taking orders. Secondly the restaurant looks hot mess dirty walls dirty ceiling and boxes everywhere. Now the food was mediocre I don't think I'll come back here ever again

    The food is horrible, I ordered mixed vegetables in garlic sauce and received mixed vegetable with no garlic sauce. This is the second time that this has happened. They need to hire a person that knows how to cook. Unfortunately I can't go over to Canada for Chinese food, where the food is more authentic. The lady at the counter is very rude to customers. I'm surprised that people continue to patronize this place. I'm done with this place.

    Not happy with this place. The shrimp and lobster sauce is just shrimp dumped in hot and sour soup and the shrimp fried rice leaves much to be desired.

    Fast and safe takeout service during pandemic conditions! They've built a special and convenient window for ordering. Food was freshly prepared and hot. I had the almond boneless chicken which was pretty good. Rice was kinda dry though.

    I usually get the chicken and broccoli which is pretty tasty. I will be going back often.

  • 4/5 Lilybeth L. 1 year ago on Google
    Not sure why all the hate. I’ve been going here for almost 6 years and it’s good. It’s basic Chinese food, fast take out but it’s always fresh and hot. The shrimp egg rolls are the only ones that I can attest to tasting like the Chinese food I grew up with on the east coast. I order their general tsos chicken and I love it. Their wonton is good too. I don’t go off of what I normally eat so I can’t speak for the rest of the menu. I do think it’s more on the expensive side for take out but it hits the spot especially compared to other places in the neighborhood. You can order online now too.

    This place use to have good food and service, but now there's a child(yes child) at the window that can barely speak english and needs an attitude adjustment! When I tried to order, I was asked did I want a pint or a quart. This was their second chance because I went through the same process the last time I was there. When I asked him to show me what the containers looked like, he left the window and was gone about 5 minutes. When I tried to ask the adult about the containers, she told me her son would take care of me, twice. He finally returned with 5 containers that he threw up on the counter in front of the window, still needing an attitude adjustment. I informed them I would be eating elsewhere. I see why there is no longer a line with people waiting for food! Won't be going back!!!

    Smh, they are lacking in the kitchen! The food wasn't good at all. The prices have increased and the quality of a decent meal has diminished. Hopefully, they can improve.

  • 5/5 Sonia J. 1 year ago on Google
    The food is really good. The chicken taste like chicken, the steak taste like steak!!! They are very nice and friendly. I hope they keep up with it. It's hard to find good food around this area.

    My Nephew picked up food on 11/13/21 the food was not as good as it has been. Missing egg roll the non talking person over the phn kept calling. Since Covid 19 is here the prices rise and you still dont get what you paid for..Not Good..Will seek higher authority on this matter...😝

    I’ve been going here since I moved to this area in 2005, their food is always delicious, great price, and generous servings. They never let me down.
