Nice Chinese restaurant near King Street in Old Town Alexandria.Lots of dishes, reasonable priced, and their delivery service is exceptionally fast.Nice place to visit or order from.÷[ Rob Conway ]÷

Nothing to shout about, it’s just a little neighborhood Chinese cafe. I ordered the Chicken & Eggplant in Garlic Sauce dish, it was just okay. The server did not even check on my satisfaction although I was the only guest at that time. The ladies were too busy chatting among themselves. In addition, their ad about wine list was very misleading. There was no list nor menu, I was verbally offered red or white wines. Won’t be back.

I absolutely love this place. Ever since I moved to town I have been amazed at the speed and quality of this place. Not only are there prices good but the food is always delicious and always consistently good. I live pretty close but not that close, And it always amazes me how quickly the food reaches me and how hot it still is when it arrives.Their website always works and they have so much selection and especially their vegan options make them one of the best in town. They're one of very few places that has vegetarian dumplings and I'm so happy about that. I order that every single time.This place is definitely my go-to when I don't feel like cooking but also whenever I just feel like it because it's really good.

Ordered from here a few times for delivery straight to my office. The food has been excellent and customer service on the phone has been good, however, this last time had an awful incident with a delivery driver. There was a discrepancy from his total as opposed to my total that I got when I ordered over the phone and I had it straight on my phone and I showed him it was about a $0.76 as opposed to my total that I got when I ordered over the phone and I I showed this to him and he totally yelled at me in the lobby of my office. I didn't have the $0.76 that was their mistake not mine, and he was getting an 18% tip from me anyway but he continued to yell at me with a really bad attitude. I phoned the restaurant and told them what happened and they just said they would talk to the management and that they were sorry. This is totally unacceptable completely unacceptable and because of this unfortunate incident I will never order food from there again. And neither will anyone in my office.

This place has very friendly staff, food prep is fast and the food is good. I had to go back for a second time after my initial visit the day prior.

General Tso’s chicken is hands down their best item - I live close by and have tried many GT chickens in the area, Shanghai Peking’s is the consistent winner for me.

Very good food, hospitality and service in Alexandria Virginia.

We really like the food and they have quality service we will eat there alot ?

You know that feeling when after multiple weeks of trying, you finally find YOUR go-to takeout location? Shanghai Peking is it. Incredible friendly staff that isn’t afraid to pile on the food. Solid choice for takeout in the area — can’t wait to go again!

My boyfriend and I have ordered from here a few times before, however with it being a holiday the lines were busy every time we called. We placed an order online through the website since we don’t like to use 3rd party sites like grub hub or Uber eats. This was a huge mistake. We expected to have a wait because of the holiday but walked over right after ordering anyways. over the course of an hour and a half wait in the restaurant we were asked what our name/phone number for the order and then the items we ordered 3-4 times when we came in and as time went by. Finally they found our order and after seeing it was placed on beyond menu said that’s why they didn’t see it in the first place. Several customers there did the same thing. I’m mainly writing this because I think if you intend to order just call in or do it in person. Many other customers were having a similar issue and were getting frustrated. The website should be updated to reflect the proper sites to use to order to ease the confusion. Food was ok, unhappy w the experience overall however I can appreciate them being open on Christmas, when others are not which is why I am giving an extra star.
