I ordered from the New Peking in November 2024. My first impression was the all too common older restaurant that really needs an update, or at least some work.
You order from behind a plastic window that separates the kitchen and counter area from what is considered a dining room. There are a good amount of booths, it’s very dark, and as earlier stated, needs work.
I ordered the General special. That came with fried rice, soup and an egg roll. I think it was about $13. I feel that was a pretty fair price considering. I also grabbed two cans of soda for another $3. Although I didn’t need the second can, my total for dinner was only about $16 total.
The food itself was okay. It wasn’t bad, but I definitely have had much better. But it did the job. I couldn’t eat it all. It wasn’t bad to eat. And it was pretty cost effective.
I was only visiting the area and will not become a regular customer. But if back in the area, I would consider New Peking again. It’s not the best I’ve had. But is far from the worst. Like I said, it did the job.

Omg, my food was awful. This was always the best Chinese food in downtown Charleston. However, what a disappointment.I had Beef and broccoli and General Tso Chicken...there were no sauces just the meat, which was tough and over cooked. The only thing we were able to digest was the soup. Due to the egg prices, I guess they couldn't prepare Egg Foo Yung. This place needs a deep cleaning, improved lighting and better food prep. Again, what a fall from grace, the food was awful plus 😞

Ate here a few times with mixed feelings. Crab rangoons are delicious, the kung pao chicken was good, sweet n sour is terrible. DONT get their breaded chicken. I had one bite with RED MEAT 😞 idk what was in it or if it was bad meat but I had a very painful knot in my stomach followed by 2 days of severe hiccups after the sesame chicken. The non breaded chicken sits well though. Pricing is fair for the quality and plenty of quantity. Interior used to have boxes everywhere but it's getting cleaned up.

Consistent and delicious. I do think its too expensive - but that's mostly because I would want to order half-size dishes so I can have diversity in my meal without feeding a family of 4+.

Ordered through doordash and our large pork fried rice was missing from our order, beef and broccoli container was half full and paid $12.95 for that. Other containers of items ordered were also not as full as all other Chinese takeout we've ever ordered. My bag was still sealed when it arrived so it wasn't a driver issue with things missing, it was the restaurant itself. You definitely get a better value at other Chinese restaurants because you get way more for your money. I've included a photo of exactly how empty the $12.95 beef and broccoli was. Ridiculous! I will not be ordering from New Peking restaurant ever again.
