  One of the more authentic places around here. The service is usually quick, food is hot and you can expect to be out in a reasonable around of time. Drinks are self service and hot tea is free.
  
  As a descent of Chinese nationality, believe me when I say this. There are a number of dishes that I still believe are mislabeled. In regards to noodles and entree dishes with rice, there are so many different forms of noodles and dishes but the menu fails to properly identify them.
  
  I would recommend them to re-evaluate their menu in order to properly translate what each dish is. Once you've figured out what you've got, food is great.

  There's a restaurant in Bellevue, Washington called Din Tai Fung. It's renown for its dumplings. It has thousands of reviews on Yelp. I've eaten there many times as a guest at business meetings. My Chinese friends in Seattle simply rave about this place. It has a meeting room that holds about 20 people. The minimum order for the room is $1,000.
  
  Then there's Peking Quick One in Tonawanda, NY. While the menu is not focused on dumplings, I have to say that the dumplings Peking Quick One serves put Din Tai Fung's dumplings to shame.
  
  Everything about PQO dumplings is better. The pastry part isn't pasty. The filling is moist and delicious. They're many times larger. They fill your mouth with lusciousness. And they don't cost an arm and leg. Well, OK, they're not as pretty as DTF dumplings, but I don't care. PQO soup is better, too.
  
  I never wrote a Yelp review for DTF in Bellevue. I don't want to rain on their parade. Just know that if you want super delicious soups and dumplings you will find them right here. And you won't have to spend $1,000 to entertain your entire party.

  This was my second time at Peking Quick One, but first time as a Yelper. I remember having a delicious meal years ago when I went with a Chinese friend. I also recall him ordering for us from a menu written in Chinese, and getting some unusual dishes that were completely different from what I was used to at a Chinese restaurant. So when a vegan friend and I were looking for a place that serves Mapo Tofu, I suggested we go here.
  
  The place is clean and straight forward. The lady behind the counter couldn't have been nicer. She asked if we wanted the "home style" menu or the regular. Trust me, go with the home style(translated in English.) That menu has dishes that you normally don't find at an "Americanized" Chinese food restaurant. We decided to stick to vegan dishes to make the order easier. Some of the dishes listed under "vegetarian" might contain egg or even meat. Just mention your dietary restrictions when ordering and be specific. We just said vegetarian, and later found out the dumpling filling had egg in it.
  
  The Mapo tofu normally comes with beef, but even without it, the dish does not lack in flavor. A bit on the spicy side, the soft tofu in a tangy, silky sauce is too good with white rice. The bursts of Sichuan peppers has an addictive, tingling sensation on the tongue that makes it impossible to stop eating. The leek and dried tofu was also delicious. The ingredients are simply stir fried with garlic and it lets the leek flavor shine. I loved the dumplings as well and luckily for me, got to bring some home since my vegan friend couldnt eat them.
  
  I am definitely going back and trying some meat dishes. My only advice is, try something different. Don't just stick to the usual beef and broccoli etc. What's the worst that could happen? This place is so affordable you wont feel like you wasted money IF you dont like something(which I doubt.)

  So many amazing dishes at Peking QUICK ONE
  Don't tick all the boxes, no, you really have to PICK ONE
  Afterwards I'll remove my pants and we can have some D*** FUN
  Yes, if you haven't noticed, I'm a pretty SICK ONE
  
  I don't service all the girls, in fact, I only LICK SUM
  But I'm an expert when it comes to making any CHICK ***
  Out of all the fake American Chinese food, I PICK NONE
  Unless it's General Tso's as perfected here at QUICK ONE
  
  But the Home Style is what makes me wanna GIT SOME
  Three minutes is all I need and to finish up my DISH, DONE!
  Then I'll go visit your Mother, cause she likes the BRIT ONES
  And sorry but I have to say she really has a FIT BUM
  
  Maybe I will trade her in, and start dating a BRIT MUM
  Or maybe I'll try Britney Spears, cause I'm in love with BRIT, YUM
  And listen kids, the underside of chairs is not to STICK GUM
  Anyway, please come immediately and eat at QUICK ONE
  
  WHAT
  
  No matter how many times I come back to PQO, I love it. I love it more, and I love it the most. It's true Chinese food, and made to perfection. If you haven't tried it yet, or haven't explored their home style menu, it's your loss.
  
  So let's talk about sex in public. If you fancy a Quick One, then you need to know that because you're in public, there will always be someone Peking. If you don't mind being watched, then more power to you. However if you have an issue with this, then instead of having sex in public and having someone start Peking at your Quick One, come here and enjoy some amazing, authentic Chinese food. Peking, btw, is the old name for Beijing, the capital of China.
  
  What to order: Spicy Poached Pork, Spicy Poached Fish, Chongqing Chicken
  What else: everything.
  
  The food:
  
  PQO is *the* must-try Chinese food in the region, along with China Taste (skip Home Taste). I never expected to find "real Chinese" in Tonawanda of all places.
  
  The majority of clientele are Chinese. And next door is a Chinese Karaoke Bar. That says it all. 2 menus. Americanized, and Chinese. Chinese is the one you should use.
  
  The American menu is the best Chi-Am in town. Cheap prices, enormous portions, everything yummy, and the General Tso's Chicken (I don't usually like this dish) is *phenomenal* here, by far the best I have ever tasted. Good Spicy Chicken, Broccoli Beef, etc. Shrimp Curry is just ok.
  
  The Chinese menu is off the charts. Had 20 or so things so far but I want to try everything. Shredded potatoes are tasty, heavy... not my fave. Twice cooked pork is excellent. Everybody loves it, you will too. The most popular dish with non-Chinese customers. A bit rich and heavy for me to get regularly. Thick, heavily sauteed, wet Chinese bacon. The Pork In Brown Sauce is similar, not as good. The crispy fish is AMAZING (and spicy) off the specials board, I order it quite often & have orgasms. Seaweed soup: fantastic. Onion Beef: salty but very good. Spicy Shrimp: *excellent* Cajun-style and delicious, basically like crawfish, huge portion, juicy, spicy, inside shells.
  
  The real star of the show is Poached Slices Of Pork, or same dish with Fish. A lot of Chinese customers get it. It's an enormous bowl of greasy, spicy, incredible soup filled with veggies, noodles, herbs and delicious pork. You can get it with fish or shrimp too, but Pork Rules. The first 3 times I ate it, I consumed every drop, and it was one of the most amazing things I ever tasted. The 4th time, the owner lady said I'm not supposed to eat/drink the broth, which is grease/oil-based. And instead pick all the stuff out of it. So now I don't drink all the juice. Just most of it.
  
  Owner isn't amazing at customer service, place can be an ice box in winter, but recently expanded so it's more comfy now.
  
  No exaggeration when I say that PQO has (a) the best Americanized Chinese food I've ever tasted, (b) the best and most authentic "real Chinese" in WNY, as confirmed by their mostly-Chinese clientele, (c) excellent value for money, huge filling portions, (d) extensive hours, open on holidays too, and (g) there is no G but G is for AMAZINGLY GOOD.
  
  By the way, I broke up a fight outside this restaurant (there is a good ol' boy bar next door, other side from the Chinese Karaoke, enough said). I did this by driving my car at the fighting people at high speed and freaking them out into running away. I did this because it was 1 guy vs a whole gang of guys, and it looked like they were going to kill him. It worked, what can I say.
  
  And if you ever get attacked by a bunch of guys in Peking, then Kick One. Because he deserves it. However this place is a nonviolent place. It's a public sex type of place. It's a Starlight-in-the-profile-pic type of place. It's one of the best places to eat in the entire region. It's Peking Quick One. Want to peek my quick one?

  Yes. Amazing food and amazing prices, what more can you want? It's sze chuan food so you can expect it to be spicy but it hurts so good.
  
  The portions are huge but it's so cheap you can order a crap ton of things and have an amazing feast and foodathon without breaking the wallet. And the food is so authentic.
  
  You seat yourself and get water or tea yourself. No frills. We tried the chicken gizzard, intestines, eggplant, noodles with salty brown sauce, eggs with tomatoes, and fried fish. Would have had more if my stomach let me.
