“ 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! ”
“ Very much a "hole-in-the-wall" type of a place. Reminds me of something you would find in Chinatown Manhattan or Philadelphia. The staff barely speak English, but they will serve you some high-quality food with big portions at reasonable prices. Order during the "off" hours and you will probably have some a less hit-or-miss experience. Recommended: Curry Chicken with fried rice. ”
“ 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 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. ”
“ Not sure why these folks have a 3.5 rating. I tried then for the first time today, and they are fast, polite, and have really tasty food. I ordered sweet and sour chicken with noodles, and both exceeded my expectations. Everything was fresh, including the vegetables in the noodles which still had crunch to them. I've struggled to find good Chinese food in Michigan, but this place is as close to home as I can find. ”
“ Friendly staff, food was cooked to order, fresh and hot. Good portions and prices. Don’t sleep on this place!! ”
“ If you haven’t tried THIS Peking Express is SO good! 10/10 would recommend ”
“ Small Chinese restaurant that no longer allows dining in so it is strictly take out now. I have been coming to this place for many years, but there has been ownership turnover. However, the food still seems to be consistently very good. My favorites are sesame chicken and spicy noodles. They have a good selection of egg rolls such as pork, chicken, etc. and they are of good quality and good taste. ”
