Peking Express - Elk Grove Village

The restaurant has new owners, and they offer great lunch specials priced between $8 and $10. The food is always prepared quickly, often ready in under 10 minutes. While there aren't any tables for dining in, the staff is always friendly and pleasant when I come to pick up my lunch.

I had a huge portion for just $7, which included chicken fried rice, egg rolls, and General Tso's chicken. You really can’t go wrong with this meal! Just a heads up: be sure to preorder, as everything is made fresh, and it took about 10 minutes to prepare.

I enjoy this restaurant enough to return. We always order the same favorites: BBQ Pork Appetizer, Crab Rangoon, Egg Rolls, Beef Chop Suey, a Cantonese-style shrimp noodle dish, and the orange chicken dinner special. Everything we've tried has been either good or fantastic. The egg rolls were particularly outstanding—thick and full of flavor. The orange chicken had a delightful homemade taste, and the dinner special includes an egg roll and a crab Rangoon, making it a great deal. My only issue is that the pan-fried noodle dish was made with a lot of bean sprouts, rather than the larger chunky vegetables that I prefer. I've eaten here twice now, and during my second visit, I tried some different dishes that were also good. I definitely plan to return!
