Peony Chinese Cuisine - Lake Elsinore

I couldn't wait to come home and write this review. I went to the reviews published and I will say I am not sure who they wrote, but they may have had an interest in this institution. I'll say the interior was on site. Clean and well assembled... That means eating was absolutely not even close to American Chinese or Asian Chinese. I traveled all over Asia and that wasn't even close, nor is it even CLOSE the worst Chinese I ever had. My wife and I love trying new places and eating a lot. I guess that's the worst of all. Customer service was terrible at best. The guy didn't speak English. Not because he spoke more of an Asian language, he was HISPANIC. Not that this is bad in any way, but... here's the rest of the story, in a CHINESE restaurant, a person was Chinese who worked. He was one of five chefs. ONE ASIAN from TEN – FIFTE employees... I looked back the shield to make sure we didn't go to a Mexican restaurant... As for the parts, yes, they are HUGE. That is, I really think there was a kind of excuse for the absolutely terrible customer service we received. The ONLY good things were the inside and fried rice. The roasted rice was not bad at all. I'll go through these doors again, unless the place changes its name to Peony's Mexican Food. Then it might be useful to be led by Hispanics and operated by Hispanics. I speak Spanish quite well, never thought I would have to talk it in a Chinese restaurant. Everyone knows how to say Chow Mein in Spanish because the guy who takes orders didn't know what I meant when I said it. And he works there. I just know how the fried rice was because he said, "No Show me." Seriously... He said that. Yes, I can guarantee you this review was written by a real customer. And I will admit if you are more impressed by the amount than by the quality, this is the place for you. If you are not this kind of person, go somewhere else. Another! Oh and last thing, an order of orange chicken, orange-peel beef, fried rice and two soft drinks cost exactly: $54.65 If I wanted P.F.Chang's prices, I would have to do with food what was so good. This place is overloaded for absolutely worthless food. Except the Fried Rice. That was pretty good.

I wasn't in the other places, but I can say definately that the one in Lake Elsinore is great. The prices are a little “up there”, but you get what you pay. The crowd is usually enough for dinner and lunch the next day; I didn't try anything I didn't like, and they're always beautiful and polite. Your service is excellent. And when you come in, they're very attentive. The place seems very clean and modern. And it is very convenient. My favorites are the Kung Pao Shrimp, the Orange Peel Chicken and the Sweet and Pungent Beef. My friend swears at the garlic chicken. This is the only Chinese restaurant where we'll eat. I highly recommend this place!
