I recently came across this restaurant on my Chinese food recommendations. I called in my order, the lady was really nice and didn't rush me off the phone. She told me my food will be ready in about 20 minutes. Which was perfect because it took me about 20 minutes to get here anyways. When my family and I arrived, it was a little hidden, so I would have never seen this restaurant just driving by. We were greeted and the lady in front asked how she can help us. I told her I called in an order and she said, "thank you so much for choosing us for dinner!" She made me feel like she really meant it. Which I appreciate so much. Food was ready and packed by the time I got there. It was reasonably priced as well. When I got in my car, we opened the containers of food to check to make sure we got the correct items. They were correct and it was so packed and steaming hot! It looked and smelled soooo good. We couldn't wait to stuff our faces when we got home. Flavor was really good and I love the fact that the fried rice was not soggy or tasteless. The color was perfect so we knew the flavor had to be amazing. We only tried a couple of dishes since it was a small group of us and don't like leftovers of Chinese food... We are looking forward to trying more dishes here the next time.

Under new ownership with the same menu. It's still good vegetarian/vegan options. Portions are huge and service was good and fast. It was my bf first time and he enjoyed his meal. Great meal for the value. It was a great meal, just different than what I've had for many years with the precious owners.

Could not get to Yelp fast enough to leave this review because I was just demolishing my plate. The food has so much flavor and tastes so fresh. We ordered the spicy chicken (extra spicy) and the chicken chow fun and loved both dishes. Also service was great and restaurant looked really clean. 10/10 can't wait to go back and try more. Also noticed a lot of vegetarian options.

We have been patrons of Little Peking for years. However, we have not eaten there recently. Today we ordered lunch consisting of the Peking Salad (i.e. Similar to Chinese Chicken Salad), and Chicken Chow Mein. The Peking Salad ($13.50) was disappointing, the lettuce snd chicken was good. However, the dressing was terrible! Our Chicken Chow Mein ($15.00) lacked flavor, seasoning and vegetables. The dish was very bland. It made me wonder if there was a change in ownership or chef. My previous dinners tasted like homemade Chinese food. Very disappointed.

The service was very good and the lady who attended my dad and I was really nice. We ordered a wonton soup, shrimp fried rice, and spicy chicken. The food was great. Highly recommend this place.

The name of this place piqued my curiosity and the many positive reviews I read here. So far, Little Peking has not disappointed me and is just what I was searching for. Peking is the Cantonese translation for Beijing, which is the national capital city of China. I enjoy Peking-style (or Northern Chinese) cuisine because the food is generally cleaner tasting and less oily, and the meat dishes are flavorful and very tender. (A common misconception is that Chinese food is very oily and heavy on sauces.) The Princess Shrimp is essentially Kung Pao Shrimp without the added peanuts. Upon trying it, I thought the shrimp were plump and perfectly cooked, the sauce was not too heavy or overly seasoned, and the vegetables were fresh and crispy. I see why it is a popular dish here. The Lemon Chicken has a delicious lemon and honey sweet sauce and a crispy coating to the chicken. It is a nice alternative for those who like the sweet and sour chicken or pork but are open to trying something different. The Mongolian Beef, however, remains the best-tasting dish I have tried here. The beef is so flavorful and very tender with a slightly crispy exterior. Cooking it in high heat retains the moisture inside the meat and vegetables, and the dish is prepared quickly. Little Peking has a good selection of vegetarian dishes as well. There are tasty lunch specials and dinner combinations that come with either steamed rice, fried rice, or pan-fried noodles. The dining area has seating for 20 people. The food is very good, authentic, and inexpensive. With the closure of my favorite Chinese restaurant in Fresno, Little Peking is quickly becoming my new spot for authentic Chinese dishes and dumplings. It may be worth noting that this tiny restaurant is completely managed and run by a married couple. The wife takes the orders at the counter but is often in the kitchen doing the cooking along with her husband. On occasion, they will have another person help prepare the dishes. Little Peking is a popular spot for take-out orders and catering, so keep this in mind and exercise patience and understanding when you dine here during lunch hours and busy weekend evenings. On busy Friday nights and weekend evenings, try to order ahead or come in 90 minutes before closing. They will not always answer the phone during busy hours since both the husband and wife team are in the kitchen cooking.

This little hidden gem is fantastic find if you are looking for take out Chinese food. They are located on Cedar and Nees in the little strip mall behind the Johnny Quik. They offer lunch plates, dinner plates and also ala carte. You won't be disappointed in the selection and they definitely won't leave you hungry. The prices also won't break the bank. The restaurant is small, nothing fancy but cute and charming. The woman working the counter and taking the orders was friendly and courteous. They do have table setup if you want to dine in. I was ordering take out for dinner so I decided to order their combination plates. I like that they had options from what they call a mini menu to add on to their plates. I chose to order their combination #3 . This comes with all of our favorites, an egg roll, two pieces of fried shrimp, two big scoops of fried rice and your choice of an item off of their mini menu. I ordered sweet and sour pork for my plate from their mini menu. I ordered orange chicken for my husband. The only option not offered was chow mein. They do have a combination plate with chicken chow mein but I prefer vegetable so I did an ala carte order of their vegetable chow mein. My total including a soft drink for myself came out to about $30.00 which is a good price for the amount of good you get. The food was delicious! The egg rolls and fried shrimp were nice and crispy and not greasy. I loved the sweet and sour pork. Just right amount of sauce. The chow mein was delicious and had plenty of vegetables. My husband really liked their orange chicken. The fried rice was very good too. We will definitely be ordering take out from here again.

Let me preface this by saying we were loyal Hunan customers for 20 years (RIP Hunan) and were incredibly disappointed when it closed. We were looking for a new Chinese food place, and I worried we would be kind of hard to please after so many years at another restaurant. But this place was amazing so I encourage you to go. We came here late in the evening on Christmas and everyone was starving so first of all: don't judge this great place by the _terrible_ photos I captured! People were digging in before I could get photos. This place is small and informal, but very clean and comfortable. During our visit, there was only one other table of people eating in, but there were many, many pickups for to-go orders. When we arrived, the friendly guy who was our server said it would take an hour to get our food, which we appreciated knowing up front. It did take about an hour, but the food was great and it was our choice whether to stay. So no complaints about the wait, and gratitude for being told ahead of time. Not many places are open on Christmas so I had the sense they are a popular place but were busier than usual. We appreciate that they have a dedicated vegetarian menu, although we ordered mostly meat based dishes last night, so we can't speak to those offerings. We had hot and sour soup, egg rolls, green beans, steamed rice, mu shu pork and chicken chow fun. Everything was excellent and we enjoyed all of it. I think everyone's favorite was the chow fun. Everything was fresh and made to order and seasoned well. There was also soy sauce and chili oil on the table if you wanted to adjust seasonings at all. We liked that the mu shu pork came pre-rolled -- it's much easier to eat that way!-- although often times we're used to a bigger portion of the mu shu pork (more than will fit in the pancakes) and we eat the remainder with rice. It also seemed like they used a (very very salty!) sauce on the mu shu pork instead of the more familiar mildly sweet plum sauce? We still enjoyed the dish though. The service was super friendly and attentive and the server brought us refills on drinks a couple of times (because of the long wait). It was a really good experience, delicious food, friendly people, a comfortable setting and a reasonable price. We live fairly far away but we will definitely come back and I think this will be our new go-to for Chinese food in Fresno.
