Customer Review Summary
The critical reviews are just as specific. Four describe bland, under seasoned food, including a thin, tasteless sauce on the beef chop, egg fried rice with no flavor, and special fried rice that one reviewer compared to boiled rice with a few bits in. One says anything ordered spicy needed their own chilli sauce or flakes, and another describes watery sauce and chewy prawns, with most of the meal going in the bin. Several call it overpriced. Even these reviewers often credit the service as good and fast, and one liked the plain chowmein and banana fritters.

“If you want a bland, watery takeaway with chewey prawns that costs £20... then this is the place for u! Worst Chinese I've ever had. Most went in the bin.”
- Mark Spolander
“Absolutely fantastic takeaway. We've been a regular of JPL Peking since moving to Carterton a number of years ago, the food is always fresh, flavourful, and generously portioned, with consistently high quality every time. From the perfectly cooked noodles and rice to the rich, delicious sauces, everything tastes spot on. Orders are prepared quickly, the staff are friendly and welcoming, and the value for money is excellent. It’s our go-to place for Friday night takeaway treat!”

“The service was great, but that's where it ends. The most bland and tasteless take away I've had in years. Why do only awful Chinese restaurants accept card.”

“My first Chinese in years and unfortunately very disappointing, plain chowmein was lovely as were the banana fritters, however I asked for special fried rice ,which was like boiled rice with a few bits in, no sauce or layers of meat etc like I have had previously from other shops, sweet & sour chicken balls were quite small and a little gristly feeling in the mouth, sauce quite vinegary. I wouldn’t order from this shop again sorry, but the delivery was quick and olive and the order taker was also lovely.”
