Reviews for New Peking Chinese Restaurant in Crystal Lake, IL

If i could give a ZERO i would!! We decided to order from here instead of our go to, because my sons gf said she loved them... (but apparently she only orders orange chicken) we spent right about $190.00 for 8 of us. Mostly all getting different items. Seriously would not feed this to animals. Egg rolls ???????? made with peanut butter. And i mean packed with it!! I canunderstand messing up 1 or 2 items. But literally not one person could stomach to eat more than a handful of bites of theirdishes. (Except for my sons gf's orange chicken ????) we threw it all away. And. NO. I did not call them, they were 30 minlate and they missed an item or 2, so between that and the horrific food and slightly expensive cost. They can keep my $200. I'll never go back. ABSOLUTE GARBAGE!! Uh and trust me im not that picky. Nor are our friends, so you can imagine justhow bad it was!! Read more

First time. Have lived in CL for 9 years and been disappointed in Chinese Restaurants but not today. Yes a bit pricey but food... was great as well as service. We will be back Read more

Ordered Garlic shrimp with fried rice ($extra) medium spicy; sesame chicken with fried rice($extra) mild spicy, and crab... Rangoon. When we received our order, neither entree had fried rice ( or any rice or noodles) so it was basically a soup. 2 ofthe crab Rangoon had max a baby spoon of filling. Both entrees were so spicy as not to be enjoyable. Will never order from hereagain!! Read more

After living in Crystal Lake for about a year, I decided there were no decent Chinese restaurants in the area. So I gave up... eating Chinese food. Tonight after about two years I really wanted beef fried rice, so I rolled the dice and tried New Peking. I was thrilled with the rice...now it's time to explore the menu deeper. Read more

The egg foo young, fried Rice and egg rolls were good but the sweet and sour chicken was cold and tasteless and three happiness... was fair (shrimp was excellent but chicken had a frozen tasteless) Rangoon was ok. Service was fast, ready before the onlinepick up time. I would try it again. Read more

My most recent experience shows a lot of improvement in them over the past few years. I ordered online and was impressed by how... many modifications their system allows you to make on each menu item. Then, I got a text alert saying my order was ready, 15minutes ahead of the promised time, which was a nice surprise! The food was the best I’ve ever had there and I’ll definitelystart ordering from them again. Read more

Very good food, Friday night and the service was fast! Generous portions, convenient location.

Stopped in tonight to try a new place in the area, I have been living around here for about 3 years now and I am wondering why I... have never stopped by to try this place as I am alway on the hunt for a good chinese place. Look no further as I'd have to saythey did a great job. Service 5/5: As the only people dining in at the time service was great, with a just the right amount ofattentiveness we were served promptly and did not have to wait too long for anything. Very friendly and nice waitress I wouldassume to be the manager or owner did an excellent job. Food 4/5: Food was good, and we def left happy. We ended up ordering 2appetizers and 3 main dishes between my fiance and I. He enjoyed the thicker cut on the beef sticks, some were tender otherswere a bit tough, but I always make the joke if the meat on a stick isnt a bit like jerky are you really at a chinese restraunt?The potstickers were the nice doughy kind, they came fried and we asked for chili oil on the side which tasted great a nicelittle kick to add to them. The pineapple chicken fried rice had chicken in every bite and the subtle pineapple sweetness, ifit were up to me I would have added more pineapple but I love that warm "grilled" taste it has. The fiance couldn't stop eatingthe sesame chicken as it was tasty, he asked for me to take it away from him or he would have finished it all and been overstuffed. The broccoli came as nice big florets that were steamed to have a nice crunch but not be raw. Last, I ordered ma potofu which was great. Big soft pieces of tofu in that typical brown gravy. Overall, only downside it was a bit pricy forportion sizes, however, food mark up during covid has been awful for the industry, (meats are up by 2-5x the normal price) so wereally didn't mind as we felt quality was decent. We have marked this down as one of our favorite Chinese places in the area. Wewill be back for more at a later date. Read more
