We had to walk out before we even ordered our drinks. We waited for 15 minutes to get a table while there were 4-5 tables open and ready to be cleared off. Two older Asian women didn't seem to want to clear the tables as they kept looking at us and several other people waiting for the tables seemingly thinking they would clear off magically. When we finally did sit down, we waited another 15 minutes and a waitress had not even been to our table yet. Again, the two older Asian women seemed to be wandering around and not doing any actual work with no worries for the people dining. It also seemed as one of older Asian women scolded one of the two hard working waitresses in Mandarin while she was actually working to appease the diners. Pick-up orders were flying in and out while this was going on. As long as they are getting their money from the pick-up orders, I guess the diners are inconsequential. Even if it is the best Chinese food in the world, we will not be giving any money to these ungrateful owners/employees.

I have been a customer of Peking Chef since I was a boy, and I would regularly visit their former Public Square location. I have eaten in their Dallas location on many occasions, especially after moving back to the area. Their's is some of the best Chinese food, not only in Northeastern PA, but in the Mid-Atlantic (including Washington, DC's ChinaTown). My last visit was with a large group, including an infant, three young children, three teens and two 20-somethings. The food was great, and we had no issues regarding service with having small children in the party. Am looking forward to my next dinner there!
