About Peking Chef
Peking Chef is a Chinese takeaway on Marton Rd in Middlesbrough, at number 444, with a menu that mixes Chinese dishes and Thai curries. The Thai side includes red curry and green curry, which sit alongside the Chinese main dishes. Orders come with free prawn crackers or spring rolls, so the choice of side is made when you order. Chips are on the menu for ordering with the mains. The shop opens in the evenings only, on every day of the week except Wednesdays, when it is closed.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often praise the food itself, with the curry singled out as gorgeous and others calling the cooking well done and always hot. Regulars describe ordering for years, one still travelling from another town for it, and a delivery that arrived far sooner than quoted. Close behind is the free prawn crackers or spring rolls that one household says are never forgotten, though another reviewer notes none came on an order under the threshold. A hospital delivery reached the exact spot with a friendly driver. The complaints are real and recurring. Two reviewers describe long waits, one of two and a half hours with lukewarm food and no discount, the other over an hour past the quoted time with rubber chicken. Chips drew criticism twice, one reviewer calling them reheated and rock hard. One diner found the Thai red curry too hot with chillies and a house special chow mein with one prawn and a couple of slices of beef. One reviewer was promised a discount on a next order after a very late delivery.

“We have been using Peking chef for years. It's always been great. Never had to go anywhere else. But today forced me to leave a review. The food today was equal to or better than any Chinese restaurant I've been to. Long may they reign 🤤🤤🤤 ❤️”
