    My husband and I went to Peony's for dinner for the 1st time last night. We have driven by many times never been. So we decided to try it. The food and staff were amazing!!!! The waitress was so sweet. Let me order from the lunch menu because I wasn't sure if I'd be able to eat all and it was still amazing. We still had left overs even with it being lunch portion. Couldn't imagine what the dinner portion was. We will be returning.

    Lunch Special: Shrimp with Vegetables
    Nancy W.

    Peony has great deals for lunch - you get a lot of food for a fair price. The shrimp in my lunch plate was tender and the vegetables were fresh and not overcooked. Everything is just a little bland, so you'll definitely be using the supplied soy sauce. My hubby got the Vegetable Fried Rice. He said it was good, but smaller than the last time we were here and the rice seemed a little stale. This place won't wow you, but it's a good lunch place if you're craving something different than fast food. And you even get a very good fresh fortune cookie when you're done. The service is always good, but the ambiance for dining in could definitely use a little sprucing up.

    Garlic chicken

    We just enjoyed the best hot & sour soup we've had in a long time, piping hot and full of flavors. We enjoyed both the garlic chicken--tender with crisp vegetables, and the Mongolian beef--very savory. We will be back to try more of their menu. The service was very efficient, friendly and fast. The stainless steel tables in the dining area are off putting--cold, but were impeccably clean. Portions were generous so we had enough for to take home for another meal.

    Love this spot! So happy it's still here and doing well, we came for lunch and had the lunch specials, love that you get a taste of everything with apps, rice and main meal. The cream cheese wontons are the BEST. Service is great. Everyone is so friendly, and the space is always so clean. Great spot for a meal.

    This is the updated menu as of 2/6/2026

    Food was exclusive and tasty, the workers service and dedication to the craft was immaculate, and the ambiance of the restaurant overall was outstanding.

The carne asada was juicy and perfectly cooked. We ordered the loaded fries, and wow they were truly loaded with meat! We also tried the taco enchilada plate as a sampler, and the enchilada sauce was to die for. I literally scooped up every last bit with my quesadilla. They offer several house made sauces with different spice levels, and all of them were delicious. Each of us had a different favorite, so definitely sample them all before choosing. The quesadilla was great too, but if you're deciding, I highly recommend the loaded fries and the taco enchilada plate both were packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. Lastly, we got the horchata, and it was excellent perfectly flavored and not watered down at all. We pass through Temecula every time we visit California, and we can't wait to add this gem to our regular stop. There are so many other menu items we're excited to try next time!

What's going on with all the failed Mexican food in temecula? The quesibirria came with 1 consume which is standard everywhere else I eat in San diego and los angeles. Some places here in temecula CHARGE 4$ to add consume soup. Their cosume was nice and oily but NO flavor! Seems to be the trend of this place. So for this they get 3 stars. I want to be fair and try other things but if their meat isn't even seasoned well the other dishes will probably disappoint as well. Its a cute restaurant and the people seem nice. The restaurant feels really laid back.

The minute you walked in, the ambiance just wasn't it. Perhaps because we were the only minorities there and everyone else wasn't (including the staff) but it was uncomfortable having people stare at us while we were eating and having our own conversations. Someone came to get our drink order and then it took a bit of time for our actual waiter Leila to come take our order. She did mention she was doing something else. we ordered the steak and frites and their pork chop which was the special of the day. I ordered my steak medium rare and the rest of the table ordered it in medium. When the steaks came out, the waiters seem confused as if they weren't sure which plates went where and when asked if that's a medium rare steak, they stated yes. That steak was medium and it was also dry and under seasoned. It was also tough and chewy. The fries were either undercooked or overcooked. Chimichurri sauce had no flavor to it. We did also order the cedar salad which was delicious. Their calamari and wings were as well. At the end of the night, Leila asked our friend how he liked his steak because it didn't seem like he ate anything. He said it was okay and she kept insisting you can be honest and kept pushing the matter. This was extremely uncomfortable because there was no need to make him feel like he was put on the spot. while I understand the need to want feedback, if your guest says it's okay and seem uncomfortable, maybe leave it at that. She then came over to me and asked about my steak and again saying, "you can be honest." Why wouldn't I be? I did tell her the steak was cooked incorrectly, that was not a medium steak and pointed out that it was dry. There was this awkward silence at the table because honestly there wasn't a need to keep pushing. Simply asking how was it would have suffice. They did end up comping my steak which was nice of them however the entire experience just wasn't pleasant. From the ambiance, to the crowd, to the food - wasn't worth it.
