My family and I love this place. We show up with a tribe of kids ready to get our grub on. We are greeted at the door with smiles. The staff are truly happy to see us and always accommodate our very large family. The food is great and all of our kiddos are very happy to come and never complain about the food. Besides the food being awesome, the staff being friendly and attentive to our needs, the place is very clean. Thanks you guys for the excellent service. It is always a pleasure and we look forward to the next time.

Delicious food and super friendly staff! The portions are huge so I would say the price is more than fair. This is the only place we go to when we want Chinese food.

OK now time for my review. I’ve gone here several times in the past because my husband liked it and their fried rice has been really good but the few times that I ordered to go I was watching the cook dropping our egg rolls with no gloves on into the fryer not sanitary and has made me hesitant in going back. Also, there’s hardly ever anyone in there I think that says a lot from my own personal experience when I have gone in there, I’ve only ever ordered the egg rolls and fried rice I feel they are definitely overpriced compared to other Pho restaurants or whatever you want to label the restaurant And I have brought food home and has spilled all over inside the bag. I give this place a 6 out of 10. Haven’t been in a while so rating can change based on sanitary and pricing. I have dined in and have had take out. They are always quick to take your order but mostly because no one is in there at least like I said when I’ve gone.

Service is always great , the staff always greets you when you arrive and when you leave and always make it feel inviting. They follow up often to top off your drinks and make sure you are good. The food is fantastic , the orange peel chicken is one of my favorites along with the kung poa chicken. Assorted appetizers never disappoint but nothing I have tried there has. In my opinion, once you have had this Japanese cuisine all the others will never hit the spot again.

We ALWAYS stop at Peony for dinner or take out whenever we visit our Sis-In-Law in the area. Their food is WONDERFUL & they provide enough that we can have leftovers the next night. I will say that we do prefer making our own rice if we order take out because we prefer our rice a bit "stickier". But Peony is always a highlight of our visits to Wildomar!!!

Good food! Great lunch time place to go! We got a lot of food for so little. The place was clean and the staff was friendly. They provided everything we needed for a lunch feast! Bathrooms were clean too, tons of seating as well. It’s located in the Lake Elsinore WalMart shopping center, next door to Lucy’s nail bar.
