Chef Peking in Reading

We have been regular visitors to Chef Peking for some years and cannot recommend it highly enough. Always a warm welcome from Terrie, Eddie and the team. There always seems enough staff to cover what is a very busy restaurant. A good sign that it is so popular. Food choice is excellent, promptly served and hot. Delicious tasting selection of dishes, whether from the set menus, or ordering “a la carte”. You had better be hungry if you have the set menus. There is a lot of food! Looking forward to our next visit.

Sunday lunch - the place was packed. We hadn't eaten here for years. It used to be a top notch fine dining Chinese restaurant. Unfortunately, the food is just terrible, bland and no better than an average takeaway. The rice was overcooked and tasteless, the beef a curious texture, the sweet and sour prawns far too sweet. The spring rolls were like ones you get in a cash and curry, very, very thin and hardly containing any filling. The Thai (?) chicken satays were tame - where's the heat you expect in Thai food (not that we were there for Thai food)? The ribs were quite nice but I can cook them better at home. Overall we were really lacking in flavour - in the chilli, garlic, spring onion that is ever-present in Chinese cooking. Oh - the vegetables - so bland. Where's the oyster sauce? I think the problem is that most people haven't had proper Chinese / Cantonese food, and so just think that this is what it is. So a real disappointment, though I have to say the staff were lovely, friendly and highly efficient, so full marks for service!

Our usual go to restaurant was closed so we decided to venture out for a similar style eating place that did Gluten Free meals. we chose Chef Peking and were not sorry. The attention to detail was excellent. The food was out of this world. The portions were more than generous (Ended up with a doggy bag). We enjoyed it so much that we left a tip on top of the included service charge. Hope to go again soon.

What an absolutely fantastic restaurant. This has quickly become our favourite restaurant and my son asked us to book it for his 21st. Without asking at the end of the meal the waiters gathered round and sang happy birthday to him and even had a firework type candle in his dessert. They also gave us our first round of drinks on the house! Incredibly nice people, and the food is the best we have had from any Chinese, perfect portions. Highly recommend!

Our first time here after a number of recommendations. Busy car park indicated the advised popularity was spot on, reaffirmed by how rammed the restaurant was - full of jolly noise, birthday ballons in some tables and cakes with sparkling candles on others - clearly a well earnt stamp of tangible popularity indeed. We were promptly shown to our table with a smile and a warm greeting by our lovely host. Drinks orders quickly taken and subsequently delivered. It was if mysticmeg had predicted what we wanted and advised the restauahead of time. Prosecco was delicious and chilled to perfection. Lager head for my guest was a funny shape which only added to the joviality. Food order was equally taken with speed and the Chinese banquet begin the in the same speedy manner. Food was superb but the ribs and japanese grill gyōza do deserve a special mention. Our young lady host was just superb even dealing with my partners dad who always tries to pull a harmless prank.everywhere we go and orders "duck off the hoof" - but our lovely host handled it with a laugh and a smile and a lovely polite verbal clip around the ear for my mature guest - and he loved it too. The surprise cake to celebrate Janet's and Alan's long anniversary was a lovely surprise and when the bill arrived - again promptly and without fuss - the second bottle of prosecco was provided FOC. All in all there is no faulting Chef Peking..service was perfect and speedy, food was delicious and the hosting was just exactly what we wanted - and for the price - well it and the team there are without fault....even offering us doggy bags for the abundance we were served. My only word of advice to new visitors to Cheo Peking is pleae go hungry and with an appetite. I guarantee you will not leave with anything other than a full and content fat belly....we did. Thankyou Chef Peking. A lovely night indeed....even with the extra stone or so we all put on with that delicious food . Thankyou.

A wonderful, attentive evening arriving soon after 6pm Ordered enough food for two couples but they were our favourite dishes and boy did we enjoy them! Thank you so much for the fun and laughter, what a relaxing, delicious meal we had!

Why take an order for pick up at a time when you clearly don't intend to meet it. The order was placed 1 hr before pickup and the lead time for people walking in was 44 mins

A superb choice of dishes available and all freshly cooked and served to the table. The salt and pepper prawns, satay chicken, honeydew ribs and smoked chicken were all perfect cooked and piping hot, all tastes sensational. Middle course of duck with pancakes was plentiful...

0nly 2 things are important really for a meal out. Firstly the food; we chose a banquet and every single part of it was delicious. Simply top quality. Secondly service; we went when the restaurant was full, hummingly busy. Because I had my back to...

We had a group booking for a special birthday celebration, unfortunately we had to change the numbers, but nothing was too much bother and on the night we had a wonderful evening. Excellent food, fantastic service and a great evening, thanks very much

We went in on a Sunday evening for the Buffet the most Amazing Chinese food I have tasted. Service was excellent, very attentive staff

Had never visited before but had heard a lot of good reports from friends and family. They weren't wrong. Good service and great food will definitely use again when in the area and would certainly recommend it.

Lovely family run restaurant. Authentic Chinese cuisine. Great service and absolutely delicious food. Highly recommended for families and couples.

Frequently have take away here and dined in for the first time a couple of weeks ago. Takeaway has always been consistently good and eating in the restaurant was an even better experience. Really tasty food, polite and efficient service. Definitely going back soon!

Busy Saturday evening in this restaurant but the food and service was spot on. There were 7 of us, and we ordered a mixture of set menus. Perfect idea for a group. Good value for money, and ample free parking. We will return.

This is the first time we have been here after wanting a Chinese for their new year. I located it on trip advisor after reading the good reviews and it certainly didn’t disappoint. The food was superb, staff were friendly and also had a great...

Just come home and can’t stop talking about the fantastic food we have eaten tonight! Wonderful staff and service, absolutely amazing food- thank you Chef Peking, looking forward to our next visit.

Absolutely fantastic restaurant! I am a regular here with friends and family. It’s such a good restaurant that I came with 20 colleagues for a business dinner. We all had a wonderful evening, Food and service was excellent as always, feedback from my colleagues was...

We went to the Chef Peking for the first time as it is a bit out of our way, however it won't be the last time and I would drive a lot further for their food. It was a Friday night and they were very...

Having tried to support this restaurant throughout lockdown I have been very disappointed with both their food and attitude recently. Having eaten in and had take away service recently all of us found ourselves to have dodgy tummy’s. However the food is usually excellent and...

Visited for our wedding anniversary with a couple of friends. We opted for the set banquet meal and had just that. Food was excellent and plentiful. Service was very friendly without being over attentive. We will definitely be eating here again.

The food was delicious and plentiful. We chose set menu A! Can’t fault it. The staff were also very friendly and the restaurant was very clean. Would return if in the area.

Went for dinner, it was excellent. Food was amazing, service was quick and staff were very friendly. Would definitely recommend and return.

As always with Chef Peking the welcome is extremely warm and inviting. The politeness of the staff is second to none which adds to make the dining experience even more enjoyable. The food is absolutely first class and always tastes freshly prepared which we feel...

First visit after recently moving to the area. It definitely won't be our last. The food was superb, the service was excellent and the COVID precaution measures were great too. Can't wait to go back!

Ordered food for a takeaway. Food was tasteless and cold I had a mixed seafood main course which was served in a tasteless watery soup like sauce. Only 2 prawns and one bit of squid The crispy noodles were dry and cold Very disappointed. I...

Highly recommend. Great food. Sensible pricing. A local family business that we are very happy to support and endorse.

This is a great place to eat, the food is fabulous, the people are very friendly and helpful with food requests. Very much recommended. Duck is always good. Salt and pepper fish with Chillies, pad Thai all worth a shot.

Looking forward to trying out another Chinese restaurant in the near vicinity Staff were attentive, friendly and efficient Layout inside and decor was basic, but served its purpose Clearly popular with locals and got busy quick and the takeaway service appeared to be non stop...

We’ve been looking for a good Chinese restaurant for ages and have found it now, Chef Peking. The food and service are excellent. There’s loads of car parking behind the restaurant. Thank you to Terri, Eddie (ex- jade fountain), Wei (ex- ascot oriental) and team...

Great food and warm service. I cannot fault them. Fluffy egg fried rice, crispy chilli beef still crispy in the sauce, not greasy chicken balls, s&s sauce not vinegary, chicken Hong Kong style sweet and tender

Very enjoyable takeaway food and excellent service - one of our party has a sesame allergy (which can be a problem with Chinese food) but the team at Chef Peking couldn’t be more accommodating, cooking our food in fresh oil, removing sesame from dishes where...

The food was delicious and great value for money. The service was fantastic too. We thoroughly enjoyed our night.

My husband and I highly recommend this restaurant as so far this is the best Chinese restaurant we have ever eaten at. It is a popular restaurant as it´s often full. All the dishes have been absolutely delicious and they have friendly service with a...

Fantastic Sunday lunch and very reasonably priced. Despite it having the ‘all you can eat’ stigma you order dishes from the menu and they are all cooked very fresh and super tasty. The prawn dishes in particular are excellent.

We have been using this restaurant for take away for a while, but due to local road closures and lengthy diversions, we have started to eat in. This weekend we decided to try the all you can eat Sunday Buffet Lunch There are Two buffets,...

Having driven past the Chef Peking many times we finally got around to trying it last week for a meal. Being Feb 14th it was obviously going to be busy but we were very impressed with the service, no lengthy gaps between courses and not...

Visiting the area to see our lovely friend. Table booked but wasn't necessary as not very busy. Service and food was excellent. Would def recommend and visit again when in the area.

I have been going to Chef Peking every few weeks for the last 4 years, mostly just two of us, but also for a 50th birthday, a 75th birthday and Christmas celebration with work colleagues and have always had the most delicious food and truly...

Came for the Sunday all you can eat and was very impressed. Food was delicious and hot and was served quickly after ordering. We were made to feel very welcome and the waiting staff were very pleasant, attentive and helpful and gave us tips on...

There were 10 of us having a goodbye meal before half the family return to Australia. Our usual 'Chinese' in Ascot for this type of event has closed and so we tried 'Chef Peking' Wokingham for the first time and we were not disappointed. Pleasant...

We love going here with the family on Sunday. The food is great and there is plenty of it and we always get service with a smile!

We went for Sunday lunch. We all had a great time. Food was excellent and even though every table was occupied the service could not be more attentive. The restaurant was well staffed and the food arrived as expected. We are local and I cannot...

Standard Chinese food, service was okay. Wasn’t really impressed. Wasn’t too hot either but it tasted okay and filled me up

Live locally and visit in special occasions. Never lets you down. Service is exceptional. Food is fabulous and you can take your time and not feel rushed. Lucky to have it on our doorstep.

We hadn't had a chinese meal for ages and found this place via Trip Advisor - We booked on a Saturday evening - From the first greeting when they took our coats the service was excellent - staff who actually speak to you and advise...

Visited last night after hearing only good things. We had three courses, all absolutely delicious. Not the cheapest of places to eat but loved every minute of it so will definitely be back. Extremely busy on a Friday night so make sure you book if...

Three of us eat here recently and enjoyed the best Chinese meal we'd had in ages The restaurant is comfortable and welcoming and the service first class. We shared starters andthe crispy duck then all chose a different main course and were all more than...

Very good quality food, excellent service, very friendly staff and atmosphere, they made the evening meal a very enjoyable experience. We even learnt the Chinese sign for 'Thank You ' plus some Chinese history. Caused quite a bit of amusement. Best to book in advance...

The restaurant's exterior is more Italian or French, even the inside. It is nice attempt to provide a fine-dining ambience. The service staff were friendly and efficient, and the foods came reasonably quick. The food was unremarkable, the portions smallish.

Have lived in area for many years but had never tried chef peking, so took the plunge this Saturday evening. Restaurant was very busy - which we took as a good sign. However due to low ceilings and poor sound proofing this meant restaurant was...

The Chef Peking run by Terry and Eddie is just a fantastic restaurant in every respect, the food is excellent, and the service and atmosphere brilliant. Our family have visited the Chef Peking on many occasions and have never been disappointed. Nothing is ever too...

Had am excellent lunch. Good choice, pleasant service and nice decor. Price reasonable. Would go again

Ordered a takeaway (may be that was our mistake!). All the dishes were hot. The quality of the food was overall very poor. The crispy noodles were inedible and at £8.50 was a disgrace. The crab and sweet corn soup was not even crab tasting...

We often get a take away from this restaurant and have to say it's the best Chinese iv'e ever tried. It's a bit pricey but well worth it. After ordering it is ready always in quick time,and we make sure we collect it at least...

We have been going to Chef Peking for over 30 years. On a Sunday the cook to order, as much as you want to eat from a very comprehensive menu is well worth a visit. It is under £20 per head and children are half...

When we first tried this place about three years ago it immediately became our favourite local Chinese restaurant, and we have eaten here at least a couple of times a month ever since. The food is excellent and the service is exemplary. The mock (vegetarian)...

Lived in the area for 20 years and never been to this restaurant and ended up going twice with large family groups in the same week and I've been missing out! The restaurant itself is clean and nicely decorated, although it does feel a bit...

Early evening family dinner. Driven past this place hundreds of times but never visited. Finally rectified this and discovered just what I have been missing. All the food we had was excellent but the chilli beef was up there with the best I have ever...

Visited on a friday after reading a review on trip advisor as really fancied a chinese. Decided to dine in and WOW.. what can I say, waited 5mins for our table to be ready, offered a drink, which by the time the bill came, was...

My wife and I have eaten in and had take out a few times and the food is consistently great. It is perhaps a little more expensive than usual, but you definitely get your money’s worth. Staff are very friendly. Highly recommended.

Booked last minute, restaurant busy but lively with a great atmosphere. Food great, service very friendly.

Used the takeaway this weekend. Service - good plus friendly reception, inc free prawn crackers whilst I waited. The food was good/ok but not the fantastic ravings some reviews imply. The curry lacked something... The salt n pepper spare ribs came of the bone well...

I have dined on this restaurant only once but tried 7 dishes so I can conclude that is the best Chinese restaurant in UK. Everything we tried was delicious and nicely presented. If you add the excellent service this is fine dining at it's best!

My wife and I had dinner and enjoyed it so much we decided to book it for a celebratory meal for 20 of us. The service, quality of food and ingredients is excellent, all of which our guests agreed. We eat out regularly and this...

I haven’t had chinese for ages as more often that not it’s a box of disappointment that gets delivered, this place is different the food was great (if I was being fussy the duck was a little cold) staff were attentive and caring, the ribs...

We visited for a family celebration. Enjoyed several courses of great food. Attentive service and great quality. Plenty to choose from, Chinese classics plus some dishes I had not had before. Would definitely go back to try different things on the menu.

We have been using them for takeaway many many times, and they have been invariably excellent. Probably the best Chinese we tried. Our neighbours like the dine in experience and go regularly- so the restaurant must be doing something right!

Without a shadow of a doubt, this is the best Chinese restaurant in the Wokingham area! From the welcome you receive when you walk in the door, to the accomodating staff, to the excellent food, I have visited many times and cannot fault it. It...

Really good food, does both eat in and take away. Have eaten here loads of times and is consistently brilliant food and really attentive service from the lovely staff. Highly recommended!

We went there last night as I found it through a google search, and was very impressed with everything! The staff greeted us at the door, took our coats, showed us to our table, were friendly, polite, helpful. We opted for the set menu, but...

There were 14 of us, ranging in ages from around 8 to 80. The staff were very welcoming & didn't mind us taking some 21st decorations with us (although they did say they'd have done it for us - we just didn't think to ask...)...

Family dinner for 4, chose 1 gourmet set meal for two & one 21.50 set meal for 2. All choices were well cooked, tasty and of good quality. The king prawns were particularly succulent & delicious. The duck came ready to eat, but cold, and...

All food was great, really enjoyed the crispy duck and the chicken i yellow bean sauce. Will be coming back.

Really had an amazing meal at the Chef Peking Sunday Buffet. We haven’t eaten here for many years having moved away and have never eaten at the buffet. This was so much more than a buffet, it is a choice from the menu for each...

Lovely restaurant that we recommended so it was nice that it met expectations. We would certainly go again

We were a small group of 8 who met to celebrate a birthday. The service was attentive and the flexibility of the staff to accommodate our requests was excellent. While the majority of the group selected a set menu one of our party was vegetarian...

We had a takeaway having struggled to find a nice Chinese in Wokingham and this one was recommended.people the run are very nice.not a massive menu but enough to pick from portion size not that big but just enough.Try the chicken and sweetcorn soup very...

This long established restaurant near Wokingham consistently serves good quality food. It is well organised and the staff are efficient and friendly. You need to book and I would suggest you eat early since car parking is limited behind the restaurant.

We always enjoy visiting on Sunday evenings. Selection of food available is outstanding and the service always attentive and friendly. We particularly enjoy the starters followed by duck (although crispy lamb is available) leaving virtually no room for mains! We will be returning soon.

A proper Chinese restaurant with an excellent chef. Perfect for family banquets in the Chinese tradition. Sunday buffet is a great experience, with friendly attentive staff. Very good value too.
