Fantastic Chinese takeout! I'm now a regular. Big fan of the spicy green beens with pork.
The walnut shrimp are ginormous and so juicy! The drunken noodles are really aromatic and meaty too. The crab Rangoon are actually bursting full of cream cheese! Love this local spot 10/10. I have only ever talked to the owner when he was super friendly so I think Congress Park, privileged white customers are just clueless when it comes to how every kitchen is ran (the yelling they claim offends them)
30 minutes for delivery fast good no MSG and tons of vegan options very fresh and hot!!!
Ordered peters for lunch today. Got the Mongolian beef and the sesame chicken both with fried rice. The orders came super quick and they each come with a spring roll and real soy sauce (which i requested). The Mongolian beef was hands down the best I think I've ever had. The beef and bamboo shoots are seared and the grilled smokey flavor enveloped my taste buds. Simply delicious. The sesame chicken was crispy and the sweet and slightly spicy sauce was amazingly flavorful and well balanced. The spring rolls honestly were not my style. I wish they carried a pork or chicken fried egg roll. All in all I would definitely recommend Peters for your lunch or dinner if you're on their delivery area.
Peter's Chinese Cafe is officially our favorite Chinese restaurant in Denver after our first time eating there! Unfortunately, the wonton soup we ordered was not included with the rest of our food when we got home but the meal as a whole, especially the crab cheese wontons, was exceptional and made it easy to forget the lack of soup. I appreciate the crispiness and mild spiciness of their entrees as well. We can't wait to come back!
After literally years of making excuses for not driving a few extra minutes to Peter's, I broke down last week when pondering my dinner options from the Cherry Creek Mall parking lot. They say a picture's worth a thousand words. Maybe so, whoever "they" are. We got takeout. I took no pictures because we were really hungry. This place needs none because what they're doing is is simply ineffable. No one could put into words why we liked the food so much, but we did. Mu shu pork was to die for and isn't common on East Denver or even Aurora menus known to me. Beef lo mein was stellar, notably the beef quality, something often subpar, buried in rice/noodles at many Chinese/Thai joints. Pancakes and egg drop soup were nothing special, but on point. Everyone was friendly and chill. Even though I live a few miles away, I felt the "neighborhood" vibe. The other people waiting seemed at ease and gave warm thanks when their food came out. Peter's fits my vision for Chinese takeout. We'll l happily drive an extra 5 minutes for our new favorite.
Solid choice for classic, somewhat greasy, Canto/American cuisine. Every dish I ordered was rather good: Excellent S/S Pork not too greasy and nice crunch. Great fried rice. Vegetarian dishes were actually very good with crisp veggies that tasted fresh. Huge menu for just about any palette. Service is friendly and the kids at the front are really sweet. Peter is a character and very charming. Personally I wouldn't dine in as it is a true Triple D...but for pickup/delivery these guys are aces. Fair prices No MSG I will be back.
