    1st time dining in at Peony, everyone was pleasant and polite. Not too busy around 4:30pm on a Saturday. Ordered orange chicken, Mongolian beef, and chicken lo mein with chicken egg roll as an appetizer. Everything was presented well, and had a yummy taste. Little bit on the pricey compared to our normal go-to neighborhood Chinese restaurant, but would definitely be back again to try more of the menu!

    I travel quite a bit, and this is hands down one of the best Chinese restaurants I've ever been to. When my daughter and I first moved to Jacksonville in 2016, we searched everywhere for great Chinese food and we found Peony. Even though I no longer live in Jacksonville, this is still my go to spot when I'm in town, and it remains a family favorite. The food is always fresh and flavorful , and the staff is very friendly. Peony is a must try for anyone looking for authentic, consistently delicious Chinese food.

    Family style!

    Enjoy this family style sit down Chinese restaurant in Jacksonville.. one of the few left! Food is excellent, service good but having dinner with friends.. the best! Rice and flat noodles, order of happy family, kung pao and sesame chicken , green beans and lots of rice ruled the night.

    I love this place so much. The food never misses. It's delicious and you get your moneys worth! The server is so sweet and she's great at it. The ambiance could be steady or casual. It's really up to you. It's a super cute place. I am so glad I was introduced to it.

    krab rangoon

    We were at JAX Oriental Market and feeling hungry. So we decided to try this place since we always wanted to! We love Chinese cuisine too! We walked in and were greeted and seated immediately. Lots of smiles and the ambiance was cozy and warm. It was like walking into someone's home (a good thing!). We got the following: Appetizer: Krab Rangoon': 8/10 - pretty tasty krab rangoon and it was fried well! There was a lot of filling and it came with chili sauce on the side. Wasn't the best but it was good nonetheless. Entrees: Eggplant and chicken with garlic sauce: 9/10 -my husband got this and I could not stop taking bites off his plate. It comes in big portions with the entrée and rice separately. We had no idea the portion size was going to be that big! The sauce was garlicky, savory, and coated each chicken and eggplant beautifully. Each bite was filled with so much flavor and tip! Add some chili oil (ask your waiter/waitress for some) for some kick! I loved how the chili oil coated the rice, along with that delicious sauce! We couldn't stop eating as it was super delicious! Honey walnut shrimp: 7/10 - this was my entrée and while the shrimp was huge, there was not enough walnuts. What makes this dish is the caramelized walnuts and we wished there were more! The walnuts were huge but lack in quantity. The batter and fry on the shrimp was light, crispy, and the creamy mayo sauce was divine! However, we didn't get much shrimp either. Overall, a good place to get some Chinese food but it's not the best. it's on the pricier side too. We wouldn't go out of our way to come here to be honest but if we're in the area, we might stop by again.

    Steamed dumplings
    Kristy K.

    I have been to Peony every Christmas Eve for 6 years now to get the same dish: Orange beef! The beef is crispy and the sauce is perfect and not too sweet. You just can't get it this way from takeout. Service is always friendly. Parking is easy as it is in a strip mall. I hope to go for many years to come!

    Chicken lettuce wraps
    Roselyn Y.

    This casual dining restaurant has plenty of seating. Staff were friendly and the place was clean. The food was delicious! I will definitely return!

    Kung pao chicken
    Dawn P.

    Overall we had a good dining experience. The service was great and the food was pretty good. We started with crab rangoon and we laughed when they arrived at the table, because they were TINY. My dinner date liked them, but I thought they had too much onion (and I love onion!). We did agree that everything else was good - hot tea, egg drop soup, veggie eggrolls, and kung pao chicken. There aren't that many sit-down Chinese restaurants in the area, so Peony Asian Bistro shot to the top of our list.

    We've been coming here for years.. always have a good experience. The service and food quality are consistent and well executed. The atmosphere is no frills, but in my opinion adds to the experience. If you come on a Sunday, you'll find large families eating and laughing - it's a nice, buzzy vibe. My favorite dish is the Szechwan beef and my husband always gets the walnut shrimp. We prefer them both with steamed rice but their fried rice is pretty good. We've had other things but always come back to our staples.

    Fried rice that comes at no charge on the side - sticky and that's so good
    Wendy B.

    We walked in on a Sunday around 1pm and were sat kind of quick. There are no signs so we weren't sure if we should sit or wait. We stood there for about a minute u til someone just pointed to a table. I ordered my favorite of moo goo gia pan and my husband got Mongolian beef. The fried rice that they serve for free with the food isn't really fried rice. It was just white rice with almost like a little bit of sauce on top. But there was nothing else in it. We ordered a meal of fried rice that was recommended that had shrimp and pork and chicken, which was much better The moo guy pan was very good and my husband's Mongolian steak could've had a little more beef in it It was good. we'll probably go back

    Hugh P.

    Wonderful dining experience as always. Francesa and the crew does a good job with the meals. The egg soup is a treat as always. The General Tao chicken is cooked right and pepper as the right level. The ambience is casual and open.

    Can you order Peking duck during any random visit, or do they only offer it on specific days/events?

    Yes you can order it on any visit. Last time I was there ppl were ordering them. I was planning ordering Peking duck myself but the price has went up and didn't justify for me to order the dish.

    Is this restaurant open on Christmas Day? Thanks!

    Yes, and They will be open New Year's Day

    Is this place pet friendly?

    No. Smaller indoor dining room and no outside seating.

    Tried YH Dim Sum and it totally hit the spot!…read more Everything we ordered was on point the shrimp rice rolls, sesame chicken, and BBQ pork were all so good. Flavor, texture, portion... no notes. The lychee martinis were a highlight (especially since they were doing BOGO ), and the staff made the whole experience even better super fun and great energy. If you're craving dim sum and a good time, this place is definitely worth the stop.

    I love visiting Saint Augustine so I was so excited when I found this dim sum restaurant!…read more Unfortunately I was very disappointed. I was dining by myself. I always order a lot of dishes because I like what I like and I also know I'll have leftovers. I sent back the pan fried taro pudding because it was so bland and it didn't have many of the main ingredients in it. If it were there, it was so skimpy I didn't find any. (The Chinese sausage and dried shrimp) The pain fries soy sauce noodles were overcooked. It's suppose to be pan fried and it was not. Also very skimpy on the black mushrooms. Not very flavorful. The Steamed shrimp dumplings were mediocre. The skin was gummy and fell apart. The shrimp filling wasn't too bad. The shrimp with rice pasta was probably the best dish there. But it was still lacking in flavor. The steamed ribs with black bean sauce was very bland. The ribs were tough and tasteless. The braised chicken feet were over cooked. The texture was horrible like eating mush. The flavors were also off. The egg tarts looked good but the flavors again were off. Borderline going bad. It had that slight aftertaste of sourness. The shell was also flavorless. The BBQ pork buns were also disappointing. The ratio of bread to filling was off. Very small amount. But I was a little happy this happened because the filling didn't taste good at all. The hot tea was also disappointing. I always order jasmine tea when having dim sum. They used a low quality tea bag instead of real loose jasmine tea leaves which also includes the flowers. No fragrance at all of Jasmine tea. Needless to say, I will not be going back on my next visit. It was very expensive for what they give you. Especially since the food was so bad. I gave it two stars because the service was very good and the view was decent. I am Chinese... born in Hong Kong. So I know what dim sum should taste like. I wish I had seen the review that had a photo of the salt and pepper shrimp before I went because I would not have gone. Their salt and pepper shrimp is not authentic and I would have not gone and saved myself $80 for my lunch.
