    Sliced Chicken with Basil
    Hugh M.

    We went here tonight for the 1st time. We had read the reviews and wanted to try this place. This is the old Mandarin Villa location (I'm talking about the original not the 2nd version - sorry digressing) The redecorated inside is nice decor and feels welcoming. Tonight they were understaffed. I think a few employees did not show up so the owner (very nice women) was doing the best that she and the limited staff could do. They were pretty busy overall. The food tasted good and was presented very nicely. Our biggest complaint was that everything came out all at once. May not sound like an issue or problem but usually when you order soup that would be served first and you would have time to enjoy your soup before the meal. Our soup and main dishes arrived at the same time and by the time we started eating our main dishes they were warm at best (actually more like cool). We did not complain because it was Christmas Eve and we could see that the owner and her employees were trying their best. My advice is just space out the soup and/or appetizers from the main dishes. We ordered Wor Wonton Soup to start and ordered the Singapore Noodles, Tofu and Vegetables, Sliced Chicken with Basil and King Pao Chicken with some Steamed Rice. All of the food was very tasty. We will be back again to try other dishes. We will be back to try again.

    We were so excited to try White Peony since they were new in town and we've heard such great things. Well, they definitely did not disappoint. We went on a Friday night at about 7pm and was sat down right away. The owner Michelle who took our order was so sweet and very attentive. The food came on a timely manner and was hot and delicious. We definitely look forward to coming back and trying other dishes. If you haven't tried, go now!

    The Mongolian Onions  where's the beef?
    Si K.

    Checked this out for the first time on a Sunday evening, place was almost full but we (3p) got our table within 3 minutes. Service was slow but we ordered 4 items off the menu. The Chow fun tasted great, the Yang Chow fried rice good as well and was sufficient for the three of us. The Wor Wonton soup was a little salty and at $15 was overpriced for the quantity. The biggest disappointment was the Mongolian Beef (~$15). While it tasted good, there was very few slices of beef maybe 6-7 thin slices and it was mostly onions. Should have called it Mongolian Onions. waiting for a refill on our drinks was also a negative with very slow service

    Just because you are chinese, it does not make a Dimsum chef !. 3 pcs instead of normal 4, More expensive than equivalent dim sum restaurant. Very limited choice (they do not make it, but buy it somewhare else)..

    Rice.  Nicely done. Not too starchy.

    I'm giving them 4 today as they are still in the learning stages of their soft opening. I had a very nice conversation with the new owner and am extremely impressed with her heart, desire, and vision. Four stars today because I need room for that 5th star she will soon earn. I'm excited to see where this place is in a couple years.

    My family ordered 3 appetizers and 4 main dishes in addition to 4 personal bowls of white rice and 3 drinks. The appetizers were okay and came out in a timely manner altogether. (This is the only photo of this meal because the rest of the meal was such a mess that I forgot to take pics) None of the main dishes came out together; we maybe waited ~5-10mins in between each, which is quite significant. We were basically done with each dish before the next one came out. The rice and drinks didn't even come till the third dish came. And we spent maybe 20mins waiting on the last dish, beef w/ broccoli. When the third dish came out we asked the server if it was still on the way and she responded "um I think, let me go check" and she never came back. We kept trying to flag any server down but none of them would make any eye contact. Several other tables also had trouble with the wait on different dishes and get servers' attention. (In the end the server realized she never put in the broccoli beef, so we were just waiting around for nothing.) It's clear that when the staff is busy or overwhelmed they just blatantly ignore their other guests. There was absolutely no sense of transparency/honesty with the guests, no urgency, and no remorse for the bad service. When we left the server just said "sorry" and bye and that's it. There was no offer to compensate anything from the meal despite the horrible service, and honestly it just seemed greedy on their part. I can sympathize a bit with their side as they seem inexperienced and understaffed. It seemed like there was a Mother's Day coupon for takeout orders and I can see how that's overwhelming on top of serving dine-in guests. But that's no excuse to give your in-person guests terrible service. They could have turned off online ordering or stopped taking phone orders for a bit to catch up on dine-in orders. They just missed the mark on a lot of the bare basics of restaurant service. Also the food was nothing special and didn't justify the wait. I'd rather go to any other Chinese restaurant in town. I never give 1 star reviews but I just hope they can find some way to be better.

    Honey walnut shrimp and vegetable chow mein. So so good.

    The recipes on all the dishes I've had here are the best I've had anywhere. Great service and the restaurant is clean and fancy.

    Found out that they have Dim Sum.. finally!!! Food was great, service is ok, ambiance is modern and clean... no need to drive to Dublin for Dim Sum.

    I really like the new renovation. The ambiance felt really nice inside. The place is great for a nice sit down meal. The wonton soup was a great starter. There was enough for 4 people. We also ordered beef chow fun and shrimp fried rice. There was a pretty good serving so we were able to take left overs home. I didn't get a chance to take a picture because my kids already started to dig in. They also serve dim sum! I would say the dim sum isn't as close to dim sum in the city but it's decent enough and I'm happy that Tracy has dim sum in town. My son told the owner that it was my birthday. And I honestly thought they wouldn't remember that but at the end of our meal they said to stay so they gave me a birthday treat and sang happy birthday which was so nice. I'm happy that I chose this restaurant to celebrate my bday. Thank you for a lovely dinner!

    Food was good, flavorful and hot. Staff was friendly but the service was painfully slow.

(We have eaten a few times at dinner but I was curious as to how different would the lunch be but it didn't appear any different, but then it could have been the Memorial Day special is the same as dinner offerings). I used to be able to eat a ton at buffets but I'm much older now and usually one full plate is enough. I tried a little of each of my favorite foods, ribs, dim sum, fried shrimp, walnut shrimp, bok Choy, green beans, salmon, egg rolls, Mongolian beef, stuffed shrimp, sushi and dessert watermelon and a creamy strawberry dessert! Wow, it was all very good, I would have liked to go for seconds to try more different foods but I was full. Gohan is a really great deal considering that Vegas buffets cost you $80 plus for a feast like this. If you love Asian food and especially seafood, this is the place to try! They have plenty of seating and the table staff are on top of clearing off dishes from your table.

I like how we can get our own drinks instead of waiting for the servers to refill it, which normally doesn't happen in other locations. The food was similar to other offerings I've been to but with a little more variety. I wouldn't say the food was bad nor was it the best. Heads up with the snails since they braised it with a star anise flavor, never had it like that before. I came in for lunch and will have to come back for dinner one night to see the other offerings. Not bad at all.
