    I love a good Chinese restaurant and I was excited to try this place since it's on the Michelin guide. To be correct as my husband would point out this is not the specific Michelin recognized restaurant but a sister restaurant. The same items are sold here yet this is a fast casual version with a drive thru. I have never been to the original restaurant so I could not compare but I thought overall it was pretty good. The price for a bento box was really reasonable I believe it was about $10. For that price you get a protein, a base, an egg roll or spring roll, and a drink. The portions were very decent! I wish they had other drink options available other than soft drinks. Technically you can get a bottled tea but it's an up charge. If I lived in the area I could def see me wanting fast food and getting this. It's definitely better quality than food court Chinese food.

    So yummy, but not consistent. We have ordered several times now. The first time, the general peony's chicken and spicy dumplings were not spicy at all. We suggested that meal to our friends because they don't like spice. When they got it, it was super spicy. I've moved my order to the sizzling chicken, and it is fantastic. I really love this place, but I hope they can get their flavors consistent.

    Little Petals hits the spot with better than average Chinese favorites. The space at this location is laid out well, with bright decor and good seating. The portions are generous in the bento boxes. I chose their version of General Tso's chicken. It was good with nice spice, but a little dense. One or two of the batter pieces had no chicken inside. The rice and spring roll were perfect. Service is friendly, and there were repeat customers around recommending what they love. That's always a good sign.

    Black Pepper Chicken Bento $13.50ish - delicious & a great value. Comes w/ your choice of side & spring and/or egg roll.

    Memphis might be on to something! After a 6.5 hour drive from Dallas, we get to Memphis and I am longing for Chinese food. I haven't had the best of luck with Chinese food in Memphis so I did everything I could to suppress this unwanted craving, however, I just couldn't help myself. Little Petals pops up on Yelp as a possibility. I read the reviews and scrolled through the pictures. After looking at the location, I realized it was only an 8-minute drive from where we were. Why not, right? The restaurant is easy to miss. It sits right on the corner in an old shanty building nestled in the middle of downtown Memphis. The furniture and décor were of a standard Chinese eatery, nothing special; but the employees were warm and welcoming, greeting me with hellos and smiles. I got the black pepper chicken that came with a spring roll. I ordered an extra side of pork egg rolls because that's usually my go to. Everything was fantastic! It gives you the taste of that old school Chinese food you used to have as a kid, but better quality. The chicken was moist, flavorful and peppery. The egg rolls had the perfect amount of crispy crunch---they seemed handmade as well! Pricing is a little higher from when I was a kid, but you still won't break the bank here! As I started to think that great Chinese food was not an option for Memphis, Little Petals showed up at the right time and made me a believer!

    Beef with broccoli

    My egg roll was brunt and my egg drop soup had no flavor. The beef with broccoli and low mien where just ok. Didn't like the garlic cucumbers.. Have to go back to try different things.

    Not what was shown as Black Pepper Chicken!

    Fried little pieces of a mix of peony Tao chicken. Mixed taste of that and black pepper. So sad. Nothing like what I expected or another picture in yelp.

    Cucumber salad

    Cute, clean and delicious Chinese food. The food came out very quickly and it was very tasty and portions were generous. We had spicy crispy chicken, hot and sour soup (large) and cucumber salad. Plenty for 2 people. Cucumbers were a nice contrast with the spicy chicken. I kind of wished the chicken had sauce on it to give something for the rice to soak up, but the flavor was great. Will be back!

    Spicy Crispy Chicken with Fried Rice

    The food here is absolutely amazing!! We had the Spicy Crispy Chicken with Fried Rice and a Peony Chicken Bento Box with Lo Mein Noodles. The service was excellent and everyone was very polite and friendly! This is such a cozy place with great food. We will definitely be back soon.

    Peony chicken with fried rice. Really tasty and great wok hei on the fried rice.

    I ordered the Bento box to go. I got the fried rice with the peony chicken. I was impressed when I first picked the box up with how heavy it was. They give a lot of food so it's great value for $10. I've been to the other location so I wasn't worried about whether the food would taste good as Petals of a Peony has always made delicious food. And the food was delicious as expected. Petals does a good job of making food to-order. My order was piping hot and fresh. They're quick too. My order was ready in less than ten minutes. I've lived in downtown Memphis for three years and was always disappointed with the lack of quick and tasty food options that were reasonably priced. Glad to see that they've opened a downtown location. This will be my go to for quick bites or if I don't have food at home. Parking isn't too bad on the weekend if you're looking to dine in. There are plenty of street parking options despite being downtown.

    Elevated Chinese takeout! Stopped in here on a work trip and I will be returning every time I visit. I got the Bento Box with General Peony's Chicken and Lo Mein. I got an extra side of rice for $1.50 so I could make this last me for 2 meals and it was plentyyyyy of food. I was so surprised with how much food you got for the price! And the quality of both the chicken and the flavor of the noodles were great for $10. The service at the register was super sweet, I ordered an extra side last minute and he repacked it for me and stapled it all back together for my walk back to hotel, it was such a nice gesture. The inside of the restaurant was very clean and even though I came in an hour before closing, there were a couple groups in there enjoying themselves still too. It seems like a great ambiance. I'll be back!

    kung pao chicken with fried rice.

    I really feel like memphis was missing this type of chinese takeout. It really is a great value. The egg drop soup is great. The spring rolls are crispy. Would be fine to eat there but I have always taken out. Fast service.

    Kung Pao and Sizzling Chicken lunch bento. Fast friendly and fantastic flavor.

    Petals of a Peony is one of the best restaurants in Memphis, and I wish I had tried it sooner. I…read moremade the mistake of assuming it's just another American Chinese takeout spot. It is not. It is a Michelin recognized (i.e., fancy) authentic Szechuanese restaurant. While I can't comment on the authenticity, the flavors are deeper and bolder than any Chinese cuisine I've ever had. My brother and I fight over which is better, the boiling fish or the dry pot. Really, everything we've had has been excellent. It's possible to go affordable here with something like a fried rice dish, but I recommend being adventurous and trying something new. Every dish is sharing size and a table of two could eat their fill with one or two dishes. They get busy during peak times but they're good at turning tables and I've never had a bad wait. I'll note that the food comes out suspiciously quick, seemingly regardless of what we order it takes around 5-10 minutes, even when we brought a larger party.

    FAVORITE SPICY FOOD OMG I LOVE THIS PLACE…read more I legit am in love with this place. I LOVE how the food had spice but it isn't overwhelming. It adds to the flavor without being the only thing to the food. I just wish I had more people who liked spicy food to come eat here with me. I came back with some friends from out of town and it was still amazing. My fav thing is still on the Lunar New Year Menu: the Sichuan Mala Dry Pot. It had amazing flavor, good spice, and everything in it was just awesome. I've found a similar thing on the regular menu so I won't have withdrawals except for the fact that I genuinely want to eat here every week and can't hahah To try: Mapo Tofu Appetizer: Steamed Chicken with Chili Sauce Edamame Beef Spicy Crispy Chicken Sichuan Style Fried Rice Dandan Noodles Spicy Dry Noodles Loved: - House Special Mala Xiang Guo Dry Pot - Lunar New Year: Sichuan Mala Dry Pot (ABSOLUTE FAV) - Peony Chicken Liked: - Beef and Broccoli - Fried Rice: Yangzhou Style - Lunar New Year: Homestyle Whole Fish - Lo Mein: chicken, shrimp, and extra spice - Twice Cooked Pork Ok: - Tea: Jasmine - Lunar New Year: Garlic Pork Ribs Disliked: - Lunar New Year: Four Happiness Meatball - Traditional Kung Pao Chicken

I too have passed this place for over 30 years and never stopped in. The restaurant was very neat and clean on the inside, to go only style but, a few seats available to dine in. The service was prompt and super friendly as well as professional, prices are beyond reasonable. Now the food. I ordered shrimp egg fu young along with wonton soup. Starting with the soup, it lacked flavor, the dumplings were doughy and undercooked however I did enjoy all the veggies and pork pieces in side the soup especially the actual fried wontons. Unfortunately the dumplings were undercooked and I couldn't finish due to the gummy and chewy texture of the dough. Shrimp egg fu young is a dish that I must try at any restaurant when available this was no exception to the rule. The presentation was beautiful mouthwatering but once I bit into the egg foo yong, I got nothing but grease in my mouth. It didn't taste like anything but a bland fluffy grease pocket, and once I spat it out. Nothing but clear grease came out. my mouth was coated with a film of grease in no way could I finish that. I can only share my personal experience and unfortunately it wasn't great. Crazy part is I'm not opposed to giving them another shot with different items it will be a good while if I do decide to return but my initial experience wasn't the best food wise and although cheap it was a waste of money because it all went into the trash

The inside is eclectic, it's not fancy...though this isn't a bad thing. It's a nice escape from the run-of-the-mill Chinese take-out places (where you can eat inside also), it's not trying to be corporate-flashy. Best I can describe it is authentic to the people who own the joint. And I like it; a couple of fish tanks, some kitsch, the odd neon signs inside (over the bar, on the west wall towards the rear), the unused area to the right of the bar. Somethings work, something's are out of place, but it's a testament to the longevity of the location. So the food: the value is great. The apps were middle-of-the-road (sweet fire shrimp, spicy cucumbers (sans spicy but ponzu), spring rolls. The stand out was the hot and sour soup. Nothing really novel about it, but exactly what I was looking for. As the duck sauce was a bit sweet for the spring rolls to my liking, I found it necessary, and delicious, to dunk the spring rolls in the hot and sour soup. The Scientist had her usual kung-pao chicken. Really good, if not a bit basic (though the slight notch up of heat from the Szechuan peppers was appreciated). I went with the Peking duck. It's the most expensive thing on the menu (as it is everywhere else), but worth it. This is going to feed 2-3 or a big meal there and a healthy portion to take home. The skin crispy, the meat moist. Bones removed, but for the wings and thigh bones...it was appreciated. Served with Chinese pancakes and onions and a delightful hoisin. Highly recommended. The staff was delightful. Efficient (if not a little too efficient; we had two servers ask for our order), attentive, hospitable. We don't really have a go-to for Chinese food. Despite being out in Gtown, this may be our new default for Chinese eat-in or take-out.

The staff were very friendly and the restaurant was nice and clean from my vantage point. They had a buffet but I wasn't in the mood for that. I placed an order for the egg drop soup, 1 egg roll, 1 spring roll and wings. My food was ready pretty quickly and I was on my way. Once I made it home, I tried the spring and egg roll they were both solid nothing special but good. Next, I tried the egg drop soup and I enjoyed it, especially since I was under the weather. The wings were last and they were huge! I wonder how large was that chicken to produce wings that big! I was not a fan of the chicken but I would go back to try other items on the menu and I did enjoy the soup.
