Really like Peony, great prices great service. Give them a try. Been going there for 20+ years.

Just happened to stop in on a quick break. I’m not from this area but happened to stumble across this place. Super good. Extremely fast and the staff was so kind! I’ll remember where this place is located!! Ty so much!

The house chicken and the orange beef are delightful!

Best Chinese food in Temecula! The ingredients are fresh, the food is cooked to perfection and the flavors are there. The portions are very generous and you will not leave hungry. Hospitality is there and the employees are on top of it. We never needed a refill and we're constantly getting attention from our server. The price for the food you get is totally worth it. Recommend 100 percent. 👌🏼

Probably the best Chinese in Temecula. Be hungry when you go, family style.. Alot of food for the value...

The food was fresh and delicious and the service was outstanding. We called ahead to order in and although our food was made fresh, it was served very quickly. When we were called to leave suddenly, someone came to help us get everything boxed up efficiently. Thank you!

The cream cheese wontons changed my life. There, I said it. They're unbelievably good. I love them. My kids love them. My wife loves them. They're perfect. The edges are perfectly crisp, and the inside is wonderfully creamy. We've been coming here for over 15 years, and every meal has been delicious. It's been mostly the same employees the entire time too. It's a special place. Speaking of special, try the house special chicken. Actually, try anything, it's all great.

Awesome food. Very large dishes. Be prepared to take some home. Price was perfect. Fed 5 adults with 4 take home boxes (we divided the left overs equally into the cartoons to create full meals) all for under $80 + tip. We ordered 3 entrees (orange chicken, curry chicken, garlic shrimp)(a healthy amount of white rice is included), plus 2 sides (simple fried rice, so good and house chow mien, this is no ordinary chow mien, it has chicken, beef and shrimp, yes all 3 in 1). Granted there may be some nights we could finish more but we'd be stuffed to sickness. Also, its a very relaxed atmosphere, TV playing and diner type tables and chairs. And to top it off the food came out fast. Go for it. You'll love it.

The guy who was helping in the carry out section was friendly and helpful . I was not able to ask his name though. Place is really clean , restroom is clean and you can see where they cook. I ordered their party tray of Beef Lo Mein which is really good . And one party tray of Orange chicken . Has to come back here again to try other selection in their menu . And will try to dine in . It seems atmosphere is nice inside their dining area.

This place never lets us down. Food is always cooked and seasoned well. We drive about 30 minutes out to eat here. Waiters are always friendly, accommodating and always available.

This is my favorite restaurant to go to for Chinese when I’m in Temecula. The portions are huge and the service fast and friendly. I always get the chicken curry, no bell peppers and sub broccoli and my beau always gets the house chicken with brown rice. We love taking the leftovers home because it’s an additional 2-3 meals for lunch or dinner! So delicious!

This place is awesome!! Super friendly staff, very clean, fantastic food, and huge portions! We've been coming here for years, I always get the cashew chicken (first picture) and it's always perfect! Sweet and pungent chicken is the second picture, sooooo good 👍🏻 😋 👌 You won't be disappointed!

This place has never disappointed in 25+ years, still amazing food, still amazing people, and a hometown gem.

Great service and wasn’t too busy, when we got there.

GREAT FOOD AND LOTS OF IT. I have been a customer of Peony's for over 25 years and they are consistantly great food and good prices.

Ordered two house chickens today, couldn’t be happier. Amazing quality, LOVE it so so much. Staff was super friendly. My first time coming to the shop, everything was so clean and kept so organized. I would highly recommend this place. One of our family members bought food for Christmas and I was hooked from there. Will definitely be back.

Found this place on Google and was not disappointed 🙏 The food was delicious 😋 We ordered the House Chicken, shrimp chow mein and the chicken pot stickers. Everything came out quick and piping hot, which I love. The staff is super attentive, quick and they speak Spanish which is a plus. Definitely recommend if you're in the Temecula area.

This review's been a long time coming, I'm a long time customer and truthfully enjoy this very delicious food. The staff is beyond phenomenal and super super friendly always. This is hands down the best Chinese cuisine you'll find in the greater Temecula area. When you're feeling like you don't want to cook dinner call them up and place an order you won't regret it.

Great food, fast and friendly service! Peony's never disappoints. The house special chicken is my go to. I ordered food to go on Valentine's day and the service was fast and friendly. Also got the Cream cheese wontons, chow mein and the lemon chicken. All were great choices. The chicken dishes came with white rice. We had tons of food and lots of leftovers. Great option if you're looking for good Chinese food in the Temecula area

Food good as usual. Service always good, too. Atmosphere, eating in is too warm. Rarely have A/C on cool enough for us.

Service Excellent through our the meal. Everyone very pleasant and helpful. Egg Flour Soup very good, Cream Cheese Won Tons were fabulous. Beef & Broccoli was best I have ever had. Orange Chicken was great. Our third entree was Lemon Chicken was the only one that was not up to par, chicken was just fried battered and cut in strips, a lemon sauce was served on the side, was very thin and didn't stick to the chicken, not very good and it was cold, so we asked them to heat it up for us.. Steamed Rice was included, and there was plenty of food, had lots of leftovers, that they packed for us, including togo cups of all the sauces. Overall a great experience!

Everything was good, but none of it was great. Fast service and definitely made to order. If you’re looking for a good meal, served quickly, at a reasonable price, this is a good choice. If you’re looking for a meal so good that you’ll look forward to having it again soon, I don’t think that’s what you’ll find here.

The Chicken Egg Foo Young was not what I expected. I'm used to and love the East Coast version of this dish. Was hoping to get it again here. I'm talking about egg omelets filled with meat, bean sprouts and other veggies in a thick brown sauce. Here, the omelets tasted like eggy bread dumplings with very little veggies or other ingredients inside. Bland. Instead of a brown sauce, there was an entire different dish served on top. Kind of like a Chicken Kung Pao with battered chicken chunks, water chestnuts, pea pods and carrots. As a matter of fact, I didn't discover the omeletes underneath until I had a serving at home. I thought they gave me the wrong dish. Didn't like the omelets at all. Tasteless filler. But the chicken dish on top was good. Nice peanut flavor. Not enough sauce to wet the rice, though. I suspect this is a good restaurant. I just need to figure out their menu and find things I'd like. The dinner-sized dish was enough for four good meals for me, so great value for money.

I used to love this place years ago but was a total fail this time . Service was friendly but the food was not even close to what it used to be . I ordered the house special and she had the orange chicken...we think I couldnt tell what was what? No orange flavor in either and the meat was unidentifiable. I will try again next time im in the area but almost $40 for lunch portions of mystery meat is a bust in my book. Rather just go to my local grab and go spot. Friendly service is why the generous score and 2nd chance down the road.

I ordered orange chicken. My food burnt chicken covered in orange sauce. I was in a hurry to go to next meeting so I ate a little but left about half. I have had better lunches at other locations

Food was hot, but very bland, mushy and pricey... $65.00 for take out ... three dishes, four small egg rolls and soup. Very disappointed because once you are home with take out, it is too much trouble to go back and complain. Ordered beef and broccoli... broccoli was way over cooked... no spice in the spicy dishes marked spicy... Ordered Wonton soup... very bland with little taste so I added the duck sauce and soy sauce for flavor and the fresh veggies (carrots, snow pea pods, mushrooms) made it okay. As I am writing this, I recall we went here two years ago and waited for nearly half an hour for take out and they gave our order to the wrong customer as we waited, so we waited for them to prepare it again. We will not go back for a third bad experience.

Had a big urge for Chinese food, after finding our usual place Fannies Wok unexplicitly closed on a Sunday, we decided to go to Peony's after reading the good reviews. We were very disappointed. We knew we were in trouble when within 5 minutes of ordering our entire order appeared, soup, appetizer and main course. This might be a positive to some people, but to us it means they didn't prepare the food fresh. The portions are huge, but not appealing. The service was good, but when the tab was almost $70 for the three of us, we definitely won't be back.

The quality was pretty much what you'd expect from your average Chinese takeout spot. Nothing special, but the prices were a bit more than I'd like to pay for just okay food. I spent as much if not more than if I'd ordered from Chef K, and the quality isn't even in the same arena. Maybe it's just because I was expecting the usual Americanized Chinese stuff. The meat seemed a bit tough, not velveted, and the flavors weren't what I was expecting from Chinese food. The house chicken, for example, was very salty, which isn't unexpected in Chinese takeout, but it wasn't really savory. Hot and sour soup had peas and shrimp in it, which was unexpected. Leaned more into a Thai soup than the usual. Overall, it was aggressively passable. Ordering was easy, but the prices were a bit high, and the food was just average. If you're in the mood for your run of the mil Chinese takeout, you might want to look elsewhere. Probably won't be ordering again.

It was ok..not an authentic Asian food restaurant. Service quick...10 minutes for food. Cashier pleasant enough. Expected it to be better based on ratings.

Weird food, the "chinese crepes" were just flour tortillas and the "sweet plum" sauce waa just bbq sauce. The food didnt taste bad, just weird and it made my stomach hurt, caused loose stool

We got our food for takeout we ordered the house chicken and the house beef. The chicken dish was too salty and so was the beef. We’re disappointed.

Their food is disgusting..The Egg Foo Yong was beyond disgusting..They make it ahead of time not fresh..So gross it tasted like it had sat for a week..What is going on with these disgusting Chinese restaurants food..Yuk never again

The food is subpar. Noodles are mush, the meat has a weird texture, the portion size for what you pay is laughable. Far better Chinese places in the area. Won’t be going back there

Very authentic in that it looks like it was decorated by communists. Huge portion of the worst sesame chicken I’ve ever had. Service was great though.

Placed a phone order at 1:15pm. They told me it would be 10 minutes. I got there at 1:40pm and my order was still not ready. I told how much longer for my order to be ready and they had the nerve to tell me five more minutes! I asked what is the point of calling it in ahead of time? They said with a straight face "we can't start it because sometimes customers don't come in to pick it up!" Are they for really! What business on their right mind thinks like this! Unbelievably worst service experience ever. Food is great but service needs training.

Way to expensive. $15 minimum for a meat and white rice, anything else is an additional charge. Did not even smell that good. No wonder it looked empty when I walked in. Hope yall lower your prices or close down

I was discriminated at this place. When I walked in I asked the cashier if I can sit down so I can place my order. Then he said to order first and pay then I can be sited. Then I see other customers walking in and sitting down and the same cashier brings them the menu so they can order and after they eat he brought them the check. I don't see why I wasn't treated the same way and I was asked to pay first. Like if I was going to ran out the door or something. Oh, and by the way their orange chicken and chowmain is nasty. I don't recommend this place at all. The cashier is rude and doesn't have manners. He shouldn't be working in this place if I were the owner he would be fired for what he did to me.

Flavor wasn't what I was looking for. Not the typical Chinese food. It was actually just tolerable. Cost was $60 for one plate which seemed excessive. The tea was good. Will not return.

I originally rated this place really high, however our food was horrible today. If you like egg fu yung AVOID THIS PLACE. Our food had very little taste. I don't think I will come back. I paid 57.00 mid day on a weekday for 3 dishes. I feel like I wasted money and time fighting traffic for such poor food. Note to cooks. Egg fu Yung has gravy, no veggies and egg. I don't know what you made. The steamed rice was mush. The only thing worth eating was the shrimp fried rice. The lo mein was soggy and over cooked. Very disappointed!

This restaurant does not provide an itemized receipt so one never knows how much menu items cost. If you get home after take out and discover something is missing from your order, and call, they simply say you didn’t pay for that. This happens even if they read back the order with the initial phone order. You never know if you paid for missing food with your pick up and will be forced to drive back and pay for something that has already been paid for but you can never know because there is no receipt. Rude and hurried on the phone. Very shady way to do business in my opinion.

If I could give it a 0 then I would.. fried rice had absolutely NO FLAVOR., proteins were over cooked and rice was as undercooked.. maybe it’s to reevaluate who you have cooking In your kitchen and hire authentically..
