Peking Express has been a place near my work that I'e known about for years but never patronized. Today was the day that changed. This small Chinese restaurant is located in a lower income neighborhood in a strip mall that doesn't have a lot of traffic.
The inside decor featured several articles and awards that aren't from sources that I am familiar with, and otherwise had a somewhat cafeteria feel to it. Although the lunch specials were in the $5-6 range, I had the Country Pork ($7.50 with rice), and the Crab Rangoon ($4.99). The Country Pork had it's own little picture taken on the counter so I thought that maybe the chef was proud of this particular dish.
The Country Pork wasn't bad. It was a stir fried dish with onions and bell peppers. The pork was a tad tough and gristly, but not offensively so. The herbs used were the same that you get in some authentic Mexican restaurants, along with some spicy Chinese flavor. It was fairly unique and really not bad at all! The portion was huge and could easily be shared with two people.
The Crab Rangoon wasn't bad. They came with a generic store bought sweet and sour sauce. Nothing to write home about.
Overall this place isn't bad for the neighborhood if you are looking for Chinese. However, I probably won't be ditching the little Thai restaurant across the street for this place. ;)
