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

The quality of the food is the main reason I am taking the time to leave this feedback. My one concern is the restaurant's use of plastic containers for hot food, especially containers that appear to be reused multiple times. Repeated washing, heating, and everyday wear can cause many types of plastic to break down over time. As plastic ages, it can develop tiny cracks, become brittle, and potentially release microscopic plastic particles into food. Scientific studies have shown that heat can increase the migration of chemicals and microplastic particles from certain plastics into food and beverages. While the amount can vary depending on the type of plastic and temperature involved, serving very hot food in older, repeatedly used plastic containers may not be the healthiest option for customers. Beyond the potential health concerns, reused plastic containers can retain stains, odors, and bacteria if they are not properly sanitized. Because the food is so good, I would encourage the restaurant to consider using higher-quality heat-safe containers or more environmentally friendly alternatives. Doing so would better reflect the quality of the food being served and demonstrate a stronger commitment to customer health and safety. Overall, I enjoyed the food and would recommend it. I simply hope the restaurant considers upgrading its food containers, as that was the only aspect of my experience that raised concern.
