Not good because the only flavour was oil. Had a fair bit of food, chow mein, chicken balls, salt and pepper chicken, and salt and pepper chips. All of them was very bland and flavorless. After calling in they said they would bring a Β£20 refund which seem to be resolved and we was semi happy with that despite the poor tasting food we was left with. However we was then called back and told to come and collect the Β£20 refund if we wanted it and i did. I was asked a few questions and the staff didn't seem too happy about our opinion but atleast still got the Β£20 back so still left stars for service but not for food

Ordered Β£30 worth of food. Food was bland and lacked colour and flavour. Sweet and sour sauce tasted of lemon. Chicken balls were over cooked turning the meat crispy in places. Spring roll impressive to look at but no flavour other than grease. Wonβt be ordering again.

Ok foodβ¦ thought Iβd try somewhere else instead of my local (kam moon which is the best!) I ordered the set meal for one and you are able to change the chop suey to anything you like. The lady at the till was nice even though she was under a lot of stress with busyness. I got the peking chicken instead of the chop suey. It was ok, a bit tasteless and just tasted like sweet and sour sauce with chilli flakes as opposed to a capital sauce. The fried rice, chop suey and chow mein come in a small container even if you buy it separately so something to look out for. I think you can ask for same container food. The chicken balls were nice and the sweet and sour sauce wasnβt too sweet and had a gingery taste which was different. The salt and pepper chicken was nice not too salty, wish they did salt and pepper wings instead. Could have more seasoning a bit bland until mixed. No complementary prawn crackers and chilli oil. Iβll try them again but recommend doing pick-up as theyβre not on any takeaway apps and youβll probably receive your food a bit late. I wonβt be getting the peking dish again.

Absolutely shocking, Β£40 for the smallest portions of food with no flavour and food full with peppers when Iβve never had peppers in salt and pepper chicken or crispy shredded beefβ¦ worst Chinese in Norwich by far.

I have used this Chinese for the last 30 years and upto the last 12 months its been great, last night I had the worst take away I have ever had. Special fried rice was so greasy the rice was like chewing gum, had to pick out lumps of gristley fat making it unedible after 2 forks full. Curry sauce was basically curry flavored brown water, chicken balls while cooked on the inside the batter was like soggy bread. Chips were strangely over done and under done at the same time, smaller ones were so over cooked it was like eating plastic, the bigger ones not cooked enough. Prawn toast while edible was not the best. Never going here again at least not until the owners change again.

Ordered food 6:30 phoned and was expecting delivery at 7pm. Was told a system crash was the issue, was told food would be about another 30 min. Roll onto 8pm no food had arrived. Phoned yet again and was told a couple of cans of coke and prawn crackers would be added for free. Food eventually came at 8:45 pm. No cans or prawn crackers present and also items missing out of our initial order. Staff grunting and sighing down the phone making me as a customer feel bad for just wanting my good that I have paid for online. So overall a 30min order turned into a 2hr wait with multiple excuses and an incorrect order. Shocking would never use again. However if you love long waits, and customer service thatβs just abysmal then feel free to order from here.

I have used Peking since it opened back in the 1980's. From then until the business was sold, I was perfectly happy with all aspects, from a customer viewpoint and would have given maximum points without hesitation. It has, however, slipped considerably since the new owners have taken control. For many years, we used to order regularly but in the last year or so, every time we ring up to place an order, the prices keep going up. I believe the prices have increased either twice or three times this year alone. Now whilst I understand that costs have to be met, the perpetual price increase to the customer will, I'm sorry to say, eventually lead to a reduction in customer numbers (who will go elsewhere) and slowly kill the business. A reduced portion size, in conjunction with increased prices doesn't help. Such a shame, but of their own making. Won't be using again!!

I ordered the roast pork Cantonese style (top left in photo), happy family (bottom left) and mixed vegetables (right). Everything was just full of bean sprouts to bulk it out and the same flavourless gravy type liquid. Won't be ordering from here again.
