This whole in the wall Chinese restaurant is a gem. There is a dearth (scarcity) of restaurants in Amsterdam. We ordered pork egg rolls, beef lo mien, chicken with honey and walnuts, and sesame tofu. They thru in a free pork rice. All of it was your typical Americanized Chinese made just like all of these type of restaurants serve. All of these dishes were spot on and pretty good. The restaurant was clean. I checked the dining areas, bathroom and looked into the kitchen area. Anyone saying otherwise don’t understand what these inexpensive carryout restaurants look like. If your in Amsterdam and want American style Chinese food, get takeout. Dining in ok but it was rather empty.

Good food, strange counter.
Being let off of work early for the holidays left me a little curious as to what I should get for dinner, when I recalled there was one place in Amsterdam I had yet to try. Peking, situated next to the old and run-down KFC, across from McDonalds, and in a building that has been at least 3 other restaurants in the time I’ve lived here.
Decided to make my trip on foot, only about 1.5 miles away, though when I got inside it was not as I was expecting. Interior was a bit dim, seating area rather sparse, with a thick plexiglass shield that sealed off the order counter. Clearly something installed during COVID, but now makes the place feel more like a Pawn Shop than a Chinese take-out restaurant.
Ordered through the small window in the glass, going with a large sized Chicken Lo Mein, a Pork Egg Roll, a Vegetable Spring Roll, and of course of Crab Rangoon. Total coming to just over $21, which is fine and dandy for Chinese take-out.
Walked back home and after a little bit got into my dinner. It was bagged up nicely, being secure even after the jostling of a miles walk, and still very warm too.
The lo mein was first, the thick noodles were rich and saucy, some vegetables sprinkled here and there, with a scattering of actual chicken chunks. Was hoping there’d be more chicken in the lo mein, but it was mostly just the noodles. Still very yummy, just, a lack of the meaty substance I sought.
The crab rangoon was good, but had a very small amount of filling in each piece. A good 30% of that fried triangle was just empty, and the filling there was, was gone in a single bite. A bit disappointing. That said, both the egg roll and spring roll were excellent. Filled to the brim with their respecting filling, excellently fried, and bursting with flavor. Well worth the $2 or so price tag per roll. They also include some sweet and sour sauce, but I opted to not use any.
Overall, acceptable dishes, better prices, and a weird restaurant layout.

Am sorry but the truth is the truth.. looking at the place from the outside you already know the inside is going to be probably worse this place needs the biggest cleaning job ever it’s disgusting the windows have mouse droppings and so much spider webs it looks like it has not been cleaned in over 20 years I did not want to enter but my gir/lfriend made me. she said the food was good. I did not like the food at all, the oil taste old on the rice and the pork on the rice taste funny The general TSO chicken wasn’t good. It takes a lot for me to eat Chinese food I have not eaten it in over a year I will not recommend this place at all I threw up the truth is the truth this place is filthy. I guess some people just eat anything I would not ever eat here again.

Just made made an order for a combination plate & three times I had to call them to get my food the right way. It’s no communication there. They need people that can talk & understand English. Very unprofessional.

This isn’t the first , second , or third time I’ve found literal human HAIR in my food . If you eat from here be careful !!! I’ll never eat from here again . Too many occasions where I’ve found hair in my rice , CONNECTED TO FRIED CHICKEN and even in my BONELESS RIBS !! IT DOESNT MAKE SENSE ! ITS DIGUSTING ! And they don’t even compensate you for finding hair in your food !! They rather remake it than give you a refund !! Would give 0 stars if I could . They have to step it up

I ordered food Thursday and ordered the szechuan shrimp extra spicy there was no spice at all in it. Then the driver looked at me after telling me that it was 12 dollars for 2 orders of meat fried wontons when I was told 11. Then he looks at me like I’m going to tip him come on now tips aren’t guaranteed there always seems to be a problem with orders over the phone won’t ever order from here again

Stopped for a quick bite on the way home from Lake George, first time ever. Their website looked promising, with a good variety of food. They allowed indoor dining which was our preference. However, the place was a mess, with few tables placed here and there, chairs in the way guests left them, crumbs and garbage on table tops. Looked like a family run business, two people were sitting around, busy on their phones, they could easily clean up everything. The bathroom was dirty, not mentioning the entrance door. When I asked for forks (they had only spoons available) a young guy grabbed two from I assume a box underneath the counter with his bare hands and handed them to me. Cleanliness and hygiene is definitely not their strength.
On the other hand, the food was good, large portions and inexpensive.
A clean environment would definitely make our experience more enjoyable.
