Chef Peking in Reading

Have not been here for so many years, but had heard it was excellent. Well not disappointed, good service, the food was excellent, very nicely presented, very tasty & not tiny little portions. Did not feel we were being ripped off. Every dish looked appealing the dumpling were the best I have eaten.

The second visit to this restaurant, and we’re still impressed. Some of the best Chinese food we’ve had. Flavour is great, anything fried tastes like the oil is fresh. Food is plentiful without ending the meal either hungry or needing to waste food. Service is attentive. Definitely going to be a go-to restaurant going forward. You can tell it’s well loved by locals.

Fabulous Valentines dinner. Set menu was delicious. Staff very attentive. Restaurant beautifully decorated for Valentines night. Plenty of food to take home. I have eaten here before although it was my partners first time in the restaurant. We often have takeaways. Highly recommend.

Found this restaurant at the end of last year and now I eat either takeaway or dine in at least once a week. I had virtually stopped eating Chinese food because the quality was so poor almost everywhere. This restaurant is impeccable. The service is attentive, highly efficient and friendly. The food is delicious and the prices are fair especially considering the quality. It is difficult to get a table here because it’s so busy, which is testament in itself. I have never been rushed, in fact the staff ask if you need a break or want your next course. You are never left without a drink but you are not constantly harassed. This is an absolute gem which I cannot rate highly enough. There are not enough stars in the rating section for this place!

Booked early dinner and were told we needed to be out within 90mins, which was fine. But staff manager was considerably rude, when spending over £150 we expect a friendly service, not rushed and moody. Felt like we were a nuisance. The chicken… is the worst cut of chicken, tastes rubbery, is it meant to? Prawn dish was nice and the nicest of the meat/fish we had. But there has to be better Chinese restaurants around where the staff welcome you when you spend hard earned money for a celebration dinner. A good service is as important as the food. Shame

Another truly delicious feast. We came to celebrate a family birthday and the meal was top-notch from start to finish. The waiting staff were friendly and obliging - we were very well looked after. Every dish was fantastic - some were ordered again!

We visited here for my wife’s birthday and what a great evening. We opted for a set menu and the food was amazing and so much of it. The staff were amazing, so attentive and always checking if we wanted more drinks, water, sauces, pancakes, they could not have done enough and were so on the ball. Well done all, thanks for a great meal we will be back

Didn’t book but although the restaurant was busy and booked they fitted us in. They happily catered for my partner whom is on a special diet due to surgery. The food was delicious the staff were lovely and the although the restaurant was very busy there was a sense of calmness and not at all noisy .. highly recommend!

Every dish we had was beautifully fresh and very tasty. Service was friendly and efficient. A great local restaurant for a meal with friends and family.

The service from start to Finish was fantastic lovely restaurant well laid out and the food was out of this world served hot and on hot plates for every dish I will be returning not a cheap please but my god worth every penny

I gave this place 5 stars a couple of years ago but there was a bit of an issue this time concerning the 'Eat as Much as you Like on a Sunday' arrangement. May be it would be useful for everyone to be aware before ordering their food. You are firstly asked to choose starters and this is where the problem lies. Our group ordered three or four items and we expected just a few of each baring in mind it was just a starter. They brought a couple of bucket loads of them consisting of spring rolls and other similarly covered 'battered' items. It was completely inappropriate. As there were so many we ate more than we actually wanted but the management were annoyed that we had only eaten half of them and commented about it making us feel uncomfortable – blaming us when it was clearly their unthinking (or deliberate?) fault. Later we wondered whether it was a deliberate act to make us not want the more expensive foods in the main course? It could have been their innocent mistake but just be aware when ordering the starters.

We took my Mum here to celebrate her 91st birthday, the food was amazing and the staff went above and beyond to make sure our evening was perfect.

Had an absolutely amazing dinner at Chef Peking yesterday night with my daughter. Food was simply delicious and service was excellent. A special thank you to Eddy for making my daughter’s birthday dinner so special with his kind gesture 🙏 I will be definitely returning on regular basis. Amrita.

The Sunday Buffet is something we go to as a special treat. The food quality and range of choices are superb, and is always freshly cooked. Fabulous service too.

We are very frequent visitors to Chef Peking whether with friends, family or just two of us! I can truly say every course is absolutely delectable! Always presented beautiful and also important to my husband- steaming hot! Fabulous choice in dishes to suit all diets...

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...

We have had a take away from the peking chief before and the quality has defiantly declined . Tonight it was cold,gluey and basically inedible. I rang the shop to have it collected and was met by a rude lady refusing to help. It’s an...

Our first time of going, for my sons birthday. One word covers everything FANTASTIC. The staff were very friendly and attentive, talking to us and entertaining the children. The food was superb. Everything we had was flavoursome and hot. They brought our cake out to...

Nice welcome, shown straight to our table, order taken & served quickly and the food was tasty but the restaurant was incredibly noisy. There were 6 of us but conversation was virtually impossible. They were very busy but we were rushed to the point where...

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

This is my favourite Chinese restaurant, by some distance. I always get a warm welcome from the staff when I arrive, followed by prompt attention to my order. They are also great at dealing with allergies / food tolerance requirements. The food is high quality...

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.

Went to chef Peking for my partner’s birthday,it was absolutely amazing, food was brilliant, staff was absolutely amazing they where friendly welcoming and nothing was to much trouble,I will definitely be going back again.

The five in or party had a very delicious meal. Service was excellent - we never had to wait for anything. When we arrived there was one other party in the restaurant, however, it wasn't long before pretty much every table seemed occupied. Despite being...

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...

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...

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...

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

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...

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 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!

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...)...

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...

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...
