What User likes about Peony:
This is the perfect spot to bring your Asian parents because you know they’ll love the food, the staff, and the restaurant’s atmosphere. The shrimp dishes are a must-try! Plus, they recently introduced the option to order via iPad (check out the photo). View all feedback.
