Food was wonderful!!! Why is this place not busy? Enjoyed hibachi style meal, egg roll and egg.drop soup. Everything came out hot and tasty. I even had soup to go. We are visiting but will definitely be back.

I’ve only gotten take out from here, but it is my go to for sushi. I love how many veggies they put in their hibachi dishes. They also always pay attention to modifiers on to go orders which I realllllly appreciate!

My daughter and I were in town for the day and chose Peony on a whim. So glad we did!! The crab Rangoon alone will make me come back. It actually had flavor and crab, not just cream cheese!! I got the Kung Poa chicken and it is some of the best I’ve ever had. Everything was well seasoned and flavorful. And Kalea, our waitress, was amazing. Very attentive and kind. Looking forward to going back and trying more dishes!

Genuinely love Peony. It became one of my favorite restaurants for sushi or Chinese food while living in the triangle. The staff is always so kind and friendly and I’ve never had a bad meal there. Moving out of state now and I’m going to miss it so much :(
