Peking Palace Chinese Restaurant

A very authentic cuisine using fresh ingredients and family run. I am from Boston and the restaurant was highly recommended by my son. So on my visit to Lancaster I went there and was pleasantly surprised to have such good food at a very reasonable price. The host Cindy was very friendly and on my request to meet the chef took me to the kitchen to meet Peter. Peter learnt cooking from his uncle in Taiwan and both of them had interesting stories to share about the huge mural in the restaurant that was shipped from China and meeting Harrison Ford when the movie Witness was filmed in Lancaster area and that he really enjoyed Peter’s cooking. We had multiple dishes and each one of them was delicious, fresh with authentic flavors. The food was better than most Chinese restaurants in Boston Chinatown at very reasonable prices. I would give them a 10/10 on all metrics, would go there again and highly recommend the restaurant to anyone.

Two stars because I have had worse food. But rude rude rude. Staying at a hotel in the area and stopped in for take out. I ordered my 2 dishes which were $8.50 each. She then asked for $29 and change. When I questioned the price she got very annoyed saying I didn’t specify I wanted the small size. I apologized, saying I was alone and the small was what I wanted. She continued to berate me for not specifying I wanted the small. After the order was given to the kitchen I told her that it was for take out. She then started telling me it for sure was take out because they don’t serve the small size in the restaurant, they only serve the large/regular size. Both sizes were offered on the menu. I don’t know why she was so upset with me ordering the small size but I would never go back because of the service. I would only go for food if someone else wanted to go there.

Excellent service and the Chinese food is delicious and different. I come from Brooklyn, NY, where Chinese food there is known to be the finest. It all looks nice and yellow and very flavorful. But here, the food features are less vivid visibly, and the flavor is not overwhelming. Hence, the mixed reviews. But the reality is that their food is naturally made and not americanized. You can tell it's true because this place is family owned, and it feels like you're walking into a welcoming home when you enter an amazing place to dine. The rice is not plastic the next day, and the food is overall more filling than average Chinese food. They got the edge over others by providing good, tasting homemade Chinese food over typical cheap stuff made from leftovers.

If you like slimy noodles and mushy weird textured chicken, have at it. The rice was brown, should be yellow. Tasted like burnt wok and oil. To top it off, it was an hour wait for our take out. He ordered while he was at the restaurant and waited an hour for slime. Egg roll looked good, but biting into it was also mush and flavorless. I’m so sick and tired of reading reviews of these places claiming to be good and it’s nothing but disappointment and wasted money. The Chinese roulette game is real and I don’t want to play anymore.

Affordable and tasty food! Family stopped by a few times recently and we especially loved the general tso chicken and shrimp Lo mein. They definitely use fresh ingredients and the food tastes delicious - will definitely be back! The service was also great, and it always feels nice to support a local business serving authentic Asian cuisine.
