We had a lovely family meal at this place last night and couldn?t have been happier. The food was all delicious and the service warm and friendly. We ordered a set meal for two, a couple of extra mains and 1/4 duck and it was more than enough to fill us and our teenage boys. We are not particularly local, but will definitely make our way back here again.

The extremely serious faced man who was at the door who was supposed to meet and greet customers? He glared at us like we were from Mars, looked my husband up and down and did not have a good energy or good customer service skills . We sat down to order and my husband felt so uneasy he said let's leave. This was our first visit here and a treat for the weekend after a hard week at work. The place was empty at the time of our visit so the staff were not busy. Not friendly or a great first time impression of the place , The older man,who came out to serve later on was lovely, jolly chap and made an effort to make people smile ,The food was fresh but rather expensive , perhaps the prices have increased? The staff need to make more effort and at the very least SMILE and make you feel welcome as we are spending our time and money here.Not impressed at all

Consistently good quality, tasty and fast food as always - not inexpensive but good quality. BUT Sunday menu: we ordered a great combo of dishes, my sons and I couldn't quite finish all of the food. I asked if we could take the left overs home and they said no, I asked where in the menu it stated that - and it didn't. I pointed out no one was in the restaurant, we'd ordered honestly and with every intention of eating at the table, and clearly hadn't over ordered - yet they said they'd throw the left overs away and that we couldn't take them. Furthermore, they don't understand the their own UK alcohol license responsibilities; I asked for a beer for my 17 year old son, they brought it to the table then said he couldn't drink it as he was only 17 - yet in uk you can be bought (by an accompanying over 18yr old) beer to drink with your meal from the age of 16yrs and upwards. Shame, as it has been a lovely, infrequent, local bolt hole for 20 yrs for me, but with what's verging on a criminal/deliberate waste of food that a customer has paid for, and then charging the customer for beer but not letting a family member consume it (despite them being and proving that they are of a legal age), it's our last trip to Chef Peking in Harpenden.

Just held my husbands 60th birthday here. Service was amazing and May who was our waitress for 17 people did an amazing job. The staff were friendly and attentive and food was excellent. We all had a fab time and nothing was too much trouble. We had the room at the back to ourselves but could still feel part of the restaurant. Would 100% recommend it. Thank you fir making the evening for my husband.

Came here this evening for my mum's birthday as she fancied Chinese and we didn't have any local favourites. As of tonight we now do - atmosphere was great (our daughter loved the fish tank and the tree inside is a nice touch), incredibly attentive and friendly staff who went out of their way to welcome us and ensure we were looked after, as well as great tasting and fresh food. They also dimmed the lights and brought out ice cream with a candle to sing happy birthday to (and a box of chocolates) - all on the house! We will definitely be coming back

1st time visit. Beautiful food and good service. Prices a little expensive, but worth it.Highly recommended for an evening out.

Usually the food and service is good. Today for a change my family opted for take away lunch. We were disappointed. We shall avoid takeaway particularly early lunch but will try again as we always felt Chef Peking are a good Chinese Restaurant. We are not sure what might have led to drop in the quality ?

I went here to try as I?ve seen good reviews (half of them is their staff) I ate in & had special fried rice with curry sauce which they served at my table less than 5mins being there! They also gave me coke cola which was warm & flat! I asked if it?s from the can , the waiter said it?s from the bottle! I asked for a new coke which was still flat & warm which I didn?t drink overall -£17 was not worth it . I do not recommend save your money go elsewhere

Food was outstanding with excellent friendly service. Always a pleasure to dine at Chef Peking, worth a visit if in Harpenden.
