Pekin Noodle Parlor

Classic fake Chinese. Christmas Story classic. The noise, the wood, the booths, the history. The staff works hard and moves fast. Food is exactly what you'd expect.

We went for the experience. It was a bucket list item for me try. I wasn’t expecting the greatest food because of the reviews but we went in just expecting the experience. We were seated immediately, drinks in under 5 min, appetizer in under 15 min and dinner within 30 min. My boyfriend is well traveled and has eaten all over the world and said it was some of the best Chinese he had ever eaten. He had the beef noodles, I had the orange chicken and we had the crab Rangoon. Our dinner was amazing. The waitress was great too. Didn’t bother us much but enough to provide good service. All around great experience! We will be back!

We were concerned based on previous poor reviews, but dinner was outstanding and our waitress was personable and knew what was good on the menu!

Never had a bad experience here! The food is delicious and there's so much history when you eat here! This is the oldest Chinese restaurant in America! So come and feast on a taste of history! The picture is combo C I believe. And the pic on the right is my latest visit. Szechuan Beef and shrimp chop suey.

Went for the first time a couple of weeks ago and was in love. The building is cute and the food is so delicious! My boyfriend loves this place and so do I now.

We ordered something from every section of the menu. The egg rolls were amazing! The sweet and sour chicken with pineapple was the best I've ever had. It's not that hot pink color that it usually is, here its brown. The egg drop soup was perfect. Perfect. I wouldn't recommend the mushroom egg noodles just a little bland. But overall would recommend!

Awesome experience. Friendly staff, food is delicious. Rustic and hearty. Dated but in a way that evokes a real experience while you imagine this same meal being served here 100 years ago to hungry miners and guys with monocles and top hats and ladies with those dresses that are like 12 dresses. Definitely a place with an amazing and Interesting history that could only exist in Butte. Glad we checked it out.

Such a fun experience. Our waitresses was top notch and made the experience lots of fun. This is an amazing piece of history that everyone should experience. Definitely some perseverance in this amazing Montana family. Definitely listen to your wait staffs recommendations. Thank you!

This place is historic. Come for a historic experience, don’t put so much expectation on it and just have a tsingtao and a great time. Had the ginger shrimp and it was salty and good. What a wild ride this business has been though, enjoy the ride!

Who knew some of the best Chinese food was in Butte?!?!? Originally from the northeast coast, I was pretty stubborn and believed the best Chinese food was in Chinatown NYC, but Pekin Noodle Parlor changed my mind. Noodles are made from scratch and they actually use chow mein noodles in the chow mein (yea so many places use low mein noodles and it is annoying). For 30 dollars we got a delicious feast. Spare ribs fell right off the bone. The flavors were amazing. The service was friendly, fast, and awesome. I will dream about the delicious fried rice. Pure deliciousness in every dish.

Excellent food. It was very busy, but they got us right in. Took a little bit to order the food, but then it came very very fast. It was soooo good. No egg in the fried rice so I was able to eat it. It is unfortunate that it isn't handicap accessible. You enter and go up a good flight of stairs. It doesn't quite feel like a restaurant. There are tables and chairs in individual, offset booths. It was a bit loud, but private at the same time. Considering the business is 111 years old, it is definitely a magical experience and worth the 65 mile 1 way drive. Looking forward to going back. The picture is the food we took home.

Visiting the Pekin Noodle Parlor is always a treat. As it was a Friday night, the place was very busy. Even so, our wait wasn't very long. We chose the Pekin Extra Special for two. It was delicious! I heartily recommend the Pekin Noodle Parlor for a delicious dinner in an historical setting. The Pekin Noodle Parlor has the distinction of being the longest running family owned Chinese restaurant in the United States.

Fun place, our waitress was extremely helpful in choosing good offerings. The special fried rice and the sweet and sour pork ribs were particularly good.
For the price, the portions are not particularly big, smaller than most family style Asian joints, but the overall ambience and flavors made it worth it. They do have a full bar, but no sake

Excellent service & food! Very small space but it was a neat experience. Will definitely eat here again.

Had to bring Nana to eat here. Loved the experience, the service and the food.
They were short staffed and very busy but did a great job serving us amazing food.

Such great history and atmosphere! The strangest and mist delicious Chinese food around! Definitely recommend!

I actually loved this place, despite all the bad reviews. You just can't expect a michelin starred experience. The servers were extremely friendly and working hard getting food out quick. The food was good. It's really fun for the experience of America's oldest Chinese restaurant.

Fun historic place, interesting articles & colorful past. We had crab rangoons, pot stickers, egg flower soup & hot tea. The server was friendly and helpful.

Best Chinese food I have ever ate. Been eating there since I was a kid. Sweet & sour chicken yum!

For authentic Chinese food it was amazing!! Great flavor, good portions. A very wonderful experience.
