I should have left when I walked in. It smelled like grease and bathroom. I sat for a few minutes…read moreand was going to leave but they came out with the food so fast. My meal was less than lack luster. It tasted watered down bland sauce. The portion was very small. I hope I don't get sick from the food. I will never come back. The AC was broken and dripping water as you came in. I was so angry I spent my money here.

The Best Thai Restaurant in Jacksonville--Hands Down!…read more This place never disappoints! Their Thai tea is consistently perfect--smooth, rich, and just the right amount of sweetness. For an appetizer, we ordered the spring rolls, which came in a set of three with a delicious sweet and sour-style dipping sauce (forgive me, I can't recall the exact name!). My husband went with the chicken fried rice, and the waiter brought out a Thai chili spicy sauce that paired beautifully with it, adding just the right amount of heat. I usually stick to my favorite--mussaman curry with tofu--but this time, I switched things up and got it with chicken. And wow, it was just as incredible! The flavors were deep, comforting, and absolutely delicious. Our server was fantastic--attentive, friendly, and checked in on us often without being intrusive. For dessert, I treated myself to mango and sticky rice, and every bite was heavenly. The mango was incredibly fresh, with a soft, buttery texture that melted in my mouth. And let's not forget the ambiance--the booths give off a cozy, transportive vibe that makes the whole experience feel special. Food: Outstanding Service: Exceptional Ambiance: Inviting and unique If you're craving authentic Thai food in Jacksonville, this is the place to go!

Again, fried dumplings and lumpia were outstanding, except the dumpling sauce is really like just…read moresoy sauce. Tried generals chicken with pork fried rice and egg roll combo. Not a fan of any of that. Generals chicken had no spice/heat at all and did not taste like General's Chicken. More like honey chicken. Pork fried rice seemed old or overcooked. Love the chili sauce mixed with hot mustard but they sent one hot mustard and four duck sauce. We throw duck sauce away, sorry. Service was super fast. Take out is probably the way to go here for my particular likes.

We saw a post in the Jacksonville Fun, Eats & Drinks Facebook group that reminded us that it's been…read moretoo long since we've been to Peony Asian Bistro so we fixed that over the weekend. They're at 10586 Old St Augustine Road in Mandarin with a nice size parking lot so their location is great and parking isn't a concern. I'll get to the food in a minute but I'll start by saying that before we opened our fortune cookies at the end, I jokingly said "I hope one of these says 'you will get your original Facebook account back". They didn't say that but I included a photo of both because I feel like they're close enough As far as food goes, we split the Peony Sampler for an appetizer and loved it. It definitely did it's job as a sampler because now we know we like all of their appetizers and would order any of them on their own in the future. I ordered Egg Drop Soup after that because it's a favorite of mine. I always add a little salt to their version of it but I add salt to a lot of soups so that may just be a "me" thing. I had the Sweet & Sour Pork with Fried Rice for my entree, which is the same things had last time and it's still great. Between the appetizer and the soup and the entree, I was hoping to have enough to take home for lunch tomorrow and I definitely did. My wife had the General Chicken. She really liked the sauce because it was sweet but has a little bit of spicy kick to it. She said the same thing I said about the chicken itself; she loved that it was big pieces of juicy white meat. She was also surprised by how much she liked the broccoli which made for one of those things where you could get a bite of everything at once. She also had a lot to take home, so she's happy with that too. Thank you again to the person who posted about Peony in the group recently. We had a great lunch thanks to your reminder.

While I have ordered almost their entire menu over the years, I enjoy their fried chicken wings, Dragon Phoenix, and mixed vegetables with shrimp. Their servings are very generous.

Wanted to try something close to our destination we were heading to and came across this Chinese…read morerestaurant after surveying the area for some non-greasy food. Approached the counter with no one there. I could see the person in the back and I know they saw us but took their time heading our way. No acknowledgment to our presence. There's a weird monitor screen facing outward and we weren't sure since no one was coming if we place our order on the screen or not. Mashed a few buttons and nothing happened, so patiently waited. Got the Beef with mixed vegetables and my wife got the Sesame Chicken. They have the lunch specials that come with a canned drink. The portion size was a small lunch size portion. The food was scorching hot off the Wok. The food quality was okay, I was surprised that the fried rice portion was a little small. Overall okay. Wasn't great and wasn't bad. The same usual flavors.
