This place has been on my list for a while, and it was so good that we ended up visiting twice in…read morethe same week. On our first visit, we ordered the salt and pepper chicken wings, shrimp lo mein, and the rock cod fillet in black bean sauce. The fresh fish was absolutely delicious and a great recommendation from our server. The wings were perfectly fried and seasoned, and the portions were generous enough for the two of us to share comfortably. Our server was fantastic--super friendly, attentive, and checked on us throughout the meal. We were very grateful for her. For our second visit, we ordered many of the same dishes but decided to try the salt and pepper fish instead of the rock cod. It was moist, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. Another great choice! The service on our second visit was a bit slower, but it seemed to be a much busier day. We had to ask for our rice, and we never received a water refill. Thankfully, my husband wasn't drinking much of his water, so I was able to finish his. Even with those minor service issues, the food was excellent and more than enough reason for us to return. I'm confident it was simply an unusually busy day. Overall, great food, generous portions, and a restaurant we'll definitely be back to visit again.

We were feeling pretty hungry and wanted to try their lunch specials... FISH WITH BLACK BEAN SAUCE: 8/10 I thought the Chow Mein was delicious and the fish with black bean sauce was cooked pretty well. I just didn't expected it to have so much gravy sauce and the fried rice was on the dry side... KUNG PAO CHICKEN: 9/10 My husband enjoyed this dish very much. I had a taste and I thought the chicken has a really nice char from the wok... I actually came back the next day with my mom and ordered another lunch special... CHICKEN WINGS: 10/10 Star of the show!! Wow!! I was wondering why I kept seeing trays of chicken wings being ordered. The roasted duck looks delicious too... SERVICE: Good service. The lady and guy were both pretty nice and welcoming... AMBIANCE: Spacious with a warm and cozy cafe vibe. You can hear the Chinese language being spoken amongst the staff. So I believe it's pretty authentic... KEEP IT UP CHINA CHEF!!!!

Everything we tried was pretty good, but the honey chicken was the standout for me. Super flavorful and honestly kind of addicting. The sweet and sour chicken was also tasty and stayed nice and crispy if you get the sauce on the side. The only thing I'd skip next time is the fried rice, but overall this place hits the spot when you're craving Chinese takeout. Pretty delicious and generous portions.

The food took about 15 minutes to come out so this complimentary dish really helped us substantiate our hungry... CHICKEN WINGS: 9/10 So nice and crispy and light on the outside. One point off because the chicken tasted a little funky and had a lot of blood or veins. PRO TIP is to try dipping it with the sweet and sour sauce or chili oil for a more enhanced experience! STRING BEANS: 8/10 It was salty but, when I ate it together with the rice the saltiness got balanced... GENERAL TSO CHICKEN: 6/10 It's a HARD PASS for me! We have this to my mom because it was more like having Chick fil A nuggets with sweet and sour sauce. Not living up to the authenticity of the General Tso Chicken... HOUSE CHOW FUN: 8/10 I really enjoyed the shrimp that came with it. It had a nice flavor and bouncy texture. However, the noodles were on the chewy side or tasted a bit raw or as of it had been refrigerated... SERVICE: A++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ WE SHALL RETURN!!!!

The veggie chow mein and shrimp fried rice are always a must. Peony's is generous with their proportions too. We always have leftovers. They've moved locations a couple of times. Now they are located behind the Target center. A little tricky to find the first time, but easy after that. We do take out so I actually don't know what the dining area looks like. I'll have to take a look next time. Our order is always ready and piping hot. Service is perfect.

Gave this place a try the other day since I was working close by, boy was it a massive…read moredisappointment. First off, the ambiance was nice and very clean. I like how they kept their kitchen spotless and for those that know how Chinese restaurants operate, this is no small feat given how much grease and prep work goes into making the food. Unfortunately, this is where all the niceties end. The food was horribly inedible! Ordered the sweet and pungent chicken thinking this would be a dish which contrast different flavors and textures into one. Instead, all I received was a mushy, overly sweet glob of chicken. It almost tasted like candied chicken jerky, a far cry from what I envisioned it tasting and experienced from other places. Needless to say, just basing it on the food alone, I won't be back.

It's a good sign when you walk in and you see Chinese people eating there and Chinese people making your food. We ordered: -Vegetable Egg Foo Young: I've never ordered this dish before, but the picture online looked so good. I'm glad I did, it was nice and crispy on the outside and the sauce that it comes with is soo good. My 2.5 year old son really liked this too -Black Pepper Beef: yummm the beef was so tender and they don't skimp on anything. Perfect amount of black pepper, my son loved this too. -Singapore Mei Fun (curry noodles): this is one of my favorite items to order from Chinese restaurants and they did a great job with this. If you want noodles, but lighter than lo mein, this is a great option. I love the texture of the thin noodles -Char Sui Bao: I half expected this to be store bought, but it was homemade! The bbq pork pieces were large and the sauce was not too sweet. The bun with soft and pillowy and it was just perfection. -Vegetable stir fry: I don't know if they accidentally gave this to us for free, but it was my husband's favorite dish. The sauce that it comes in is savory and slightly sweet/gingery. My son who doesn't normally eat vegetables was eating zucchini and mushrooms from this dish. We're excited to come back and try their chongquing spicy fried chicken and other dim sum items. Thank you!

When we arrived, we waited about 10 minutes to be seated. After being seated, it took another 10 minutes just to receive water. No one ever came to take our order, so my husband finally had to walk up to the cashier to ask if someone could help us. Looking back, we probably should have left at that point, but our kids were already starving. Once our food arrived, we still had to flag down a server just to get our drinks and utensils. The drinks eventually came, but the utensils never did we ended up getting them ourselves. We never had an assigned waiter just multiple people bringing our dishes. The service was so poor that I honestly can't even remember how the food tasted because the entire experience was overshadowed by the lack of attention and organization. Unfortunately, this was one of the worst dining experiences I've had, and I won't be returning.

Our other server we loved was a Marine. So epic. Tonight's bartender Jaikob was so cool. He made a nice round of lemon drop martinis for us. Food is on point. They moved away from the different size options. The way it used to be. Much better. Son and daughter each ordered crispy honey chicken. Enough for four people! Son's girlfriend ordered orange chicken. Same --enough for double. Our sweet and sour chicken was enough for two of us. Also, they have been so accommodating on our daughter's nut allergy. Incredible, truth be told. They understand it.
