Lunch Special: Shrimp with Vegetables
Nancy W.

Peony has great deals for lunch - you get a lot of food for a fair price. The shrimp in my lunch plate was tender and the vegetables were fresh and not overcooked. Everything is just a little bland, so you'll definitely be using the supplied soy sauce. My hubby got the Vegetable Fried Rice. He said it was good, but smaller than the last time we were here and the rice seemed a little stale. This place won't wow you, but it's a good lunch place if you're craving something different than fast food. And you even get a very good fresh fortune cookie when you're done. The service is always good, but the ambiance for dining in could definitely use a little sprucing up.

My husband and I went to Peony's for dinner for the 1st time last night. We have driven by many times never been. So we decided to try it. The food and staff were amazing!!!! The waitress was so sweet. Let me order from the lunch menu because I wasn't sure if I'd be able to eat all and it was still amazing. We still had left overs even with it being lunch portion. Couldn't imagine what the dinner portion was. We will be returning.

Garlic chicken

We just enjoyed the best hot & sour soup we've had in a long time, piping hot and full of flavors. We enjoyed both the garlic chicken--tender with crisp vegetables, and the Mongolian beef--very savory. We will be back to try more of their menu. The service was very efficient, friendly and fast. The stainless steel tables in the dining area are off putting--cold, but were impeccably clean. Portions were generous so we had enough for to take home for another meal.

Love this spot! So happy it's still here and doing well, we came for lunch and had the lunch specials, love that you get a taste of everything with apps, rice and main meal. The cream cheese wontons are the BEST. Service is great. Everyone is so friendly, and the space is always so clean. Great spot for a meal.

This is the updated menu as of 2/6/2026

Food was exclusive and tasty, the workers service and dedication to the craft was immaculate, and the ambiance of the restaurant overall was outstanding.

The food was delicious. The king crab and snow crab was…read moreamazing. The flavor of the sauce was so good. I also really loved the corn so flavorful. Definitely will come back. Our server was super friendly also.

We decided to give Pier 88 a shot tonight because sometimes convenience wins…read more Unfortunately, that's about the only thing Pier 88 won. My kids delivered the review of the night: If Boiling Crab is Disneyland, Pier 88 is the parking lot of Knott's Berry Farm. The service was so nonexistent that I started wondering if our server had entered witness protection midway through our meal. Not once did anyone check on us. Drinks sat empty, questions went unanswered, and by the end of dinner we were basically serving ourselves. Then came the shrimp. We ordered TWO POUNDS. What arrived looked like the survivor of a much larger shrimp family. I've seen more shrimp in a sample cup at Costco. Either someone forgot part of our order or Pier 88 has discovered a new unit of measurement. And the Pier 88 house sauce? Imagine melting an entire stick of butter, whispering the word "seasoning" over it, and calling it a day. That's the sauce. No kick. No depth. No flavor. Just butter with confidence issues. The whole meal felt like someone described Boiling Crab to a friend who had never actually been there. Maybe we caught them on a bad night. Maybe this is just how it is. Either way, we won't be back. Save yourself the time, save yourself the disappointment, and make the drive to Boiling Crab. Sometimes the original is the original for a reason.

Absolutely the best Bloody Mary I've had in a while. I came in after a Spartan Race, starving and…read moreready to eat everything in sight--and this place delivered. Not only was the Bloody Mary on point, but the food was incredible. We started with the ahi tuna, which was fresh and flavorful. The barn burger was amazing, and the eggs Benedict were just as impressive. On top of that, the service was excellent. It was my first time here, and I was not disappointed. Great food, great drinks, and great service all around.

I was unimpressed by this place. I came here from san diego bc of all the pictures of good food!…read more Especially the octopus! Its too bad I came for brunch. Brunch lasts until 2pm and then from 2pm to 245pm they serve only appetizers. Lmao. Thats certainly interesting. Aesthetically this place is gorgeous. I love that they are dog friendly and it wasnt too hot today at the patio. I got the bloody mary to start and it was pretty good. The bacon in it was amazing, however, it didnt taste like 2 shots. The drink was thick but the flavor was still good. I got avocado toast with smoked salmon. This very small meal was 20$. I got a lox bagel and 4 huge pieces of smoked salmon with capers and a side of avocado a few days ago in Vegas on the strip and that was 16$. Sooooooo... how is this justifiable? Anyways, I also ordered a diet coke and they came out with a mini can. Talk about why this place is called "small" barn. Lol! The server stated the can is super small bc its only 2$. Thats just silly. Just get the bigger can and charge me 3 bucks for it. Thats fair in my humble opinion. 4$ for two mini cans is wonky to me. Alas, these are not the reasons why this place originally got a 2 star from me. It was the tomatoes on my avocado toast. They taste spoiled, old, and mushy. It made my stomach hurt a bit. As for the salmon, it tasted like it smelled, funky. Why i ended up giving this place a 3 instead of 2 stars? Bc their creme brulee was the BEST creme brulee I've ever had. It was so luscious, creamy, and it felt like these are the kinds of desserts GODS eat! It was amazing! My server was friendly and talkative with me up until the end. She said "have a good day" in an oddly, irritated way when I paid with my card. Oh wells. Ill come here for the desserts! And perhaps ill give other things a try
