“ This is the best Asian food in NC I’ve ever had in my life!! Born here and never tasted such great quality until now. Felt like I was in local Chinatown with the flavors. If you’re off the plane or waiting to catch one RUN don’t walk and grab some food to go. They are worth a stop and return visit. ”
“ This was the best service I've ever received. The food was fresh and so flavorful. The owner/manager even brought out free wontons for us to try. Staff was very sweet and efficient. I will definitely be back :) ”
“ Overall Rating: 5.8/10 This dining spot provides a casual family-style atmosphere with service that outshines its setting, delivering a mixed experience where respectful, attentive service compensates for an ambiance that lacks professionalism and cleanliness. Atmosphere: 5.7/10 The restaurant offers a low-tier family vibe that feels more like a takeout place with a decent dining area rather than a refined eatery. The less-than-pristine condition contributes to a casual, unpolished dining atmosphere. Service: 6.2/10 Service was a highlight, characterized by extremely respectful and attentive staff. The cold water service was prompt, and the staff made efforts to ensure accuracy by reviewing the receipt, indicating a commitment to customer satisfaction despite the busy environment. Food: General Tso Chicken: 5.3/10 While the chicken was perfectly cooked and crispy, the flavor profile leaned towards a bold soy tang rather than the expected spicy sweetness. The inclusion of unwanted carrots and the absence of chili peppers detracted from the authenticity of the dish. Beef Fried Rice: 6.3/10 The rice was freshly cooked, fluffy, and light, with well-cooked beef and a satisfactory portion size. However, the flavor was somewhat bland, needing more seasoning to elevate it. Cheese Wonton: 2.2/10 This dish was disappointing, with a hard, stale shell that lacked the expected crispiness and flakiness. The overall quality and taste were underwhelming. Pork Lo Mein: 6.2/10 The noodles were flavorful, with a bold Lo Mein taste and well-cooked beef, making this dish one of the more successful offerings. Value: 6.1/10 The pricing aligns with the quality and overall dining experience, making it a fair choice for those seeking a casual meal without high expectations for the dining environment. ”
“ Tried Peng's for the first time and I will absolutely be going back to slowly eat my way through almost everything on the menu. Everything we ordered was wonderful, especially the Mapo tofu which was one of the best renditions of the dish that I've had. Additionally, our awesome waitress remembered us from 9 years previous from a visit to Golden Palace on Capital Blvd (where she and the chef at Peng's worked at the time). ”
“ I ordered the spicy chicken and string beans with ground pork. The lady taking my order gave me a warning about the spiciness of the chicken but I went ahead with it. Clear my sinuses instantly! Overall great food and service ”
“ We had the pleasure of dining in! We tried the crab rangoons and egg rolls, as well as the general tsao chicken and broccoli & beef! The appetizers were a little cooler in the middle but still really yummy! Crispy shells with great fillings! The meals were the star of the show! Fried rice pretty good but the chicken and beef were so flavorful and moist, and tasted amazing!! The sweetest couple running everything do a fantastic job, as does the chef! ”
“ Peng's is one of the best local finds I've discovered trying restaurants since my recent move to the area. I had the spicy wontons appetizer. For my main, I had string beans with ground pork, spicy chicken, and eggplant with garlic sauce casserole. Everything was delicious. The ingredients were fresh and the flavors were well considered. I highly recommend giving this place a try because my experience was delightful and I'm confident yours would be too! I look forward to trying more dishes here during future visits. ”
“ I am always on the lookout for a great restaurant, as a foodie. To find one, I had to travel 30 mins. to a town over from Durham to enjoy delicious fresh cuisine. I am very content now. ”
