“ Chinese restaurant right off Laguna Beach. Very clean and modern restaurant. Staff was nice and accommodating too. Its kind of pricy for the portion, but that is to be expected for a restaurant right off the beach coast in a tourist area. Not the best Chinese food but for the location and area, its a solid spot if you are in the mood for Chinese food. ”

“ Great Chinese food! Right at Laguna Beach, and the prices are pretty good! The food was flavourful and pretty authentic. I recommend going for lunch because the lunch deals are great, although the portion size is smaller if you get lunch deals. There was only one server and the service was a little bit slow, but it’s a really great location, and the outdoor seating is amazing. ”

“ The atmosphere is very peaceful here. I love the food here . Ive tried at least half the menu . Food is cooked when ordered so everything is always super steamy hot when it arrives to the table. Portions are very generous and very inexpensive. ”

“ Crazy to say this..but the best chinese food we've ever had. We're vegan and vegetarian and while there weren't so many options, the three things we ordered - cucumber salad, kung pao tofu, and bok choi with mushrooms - were all incredible. Fresh veggies, flavorful, well seasoned. And the ambience was laid back and cozy. ”

“ It had been about 18 months since our first visit. Have to say, ever since then, sometimes a craving for this place hits, but we live too far away to visit. BUT! This past weekend we were able to visit the Winter Sawdust Festival, so obviously we had to come back for lunch. And what a feast it was! Portions are still hearty, and the food is still a superb quality. This time we got the dumplings and egg rolls again, the chicken fried rice, the General Tao’s chicken, the Pad Thai, the House Garlic Chicken, the Black Peppered Beef, and some lovely hot tea. The Black Pepper Beef dish was my favorite again. The honey sauce on the General Tao dish was perfectly sticky sweet. All the chicken dishes were cooked perfectly. It certainly was a feast for 2 people, and we finished off the majority of everything. Service was kind and quick. Epic meal. Seating outside was cool and beachy, a perfect So Cal winter day. ”

“ We picked up take out a couple times on our recent trip to Laguna. Both orders were complicated and both were filled perfectly. Friendly staff, and the food (really the most important thing) was fantastic. We've tried other places around town, and Peony's is easily the best. We'll be going back for sure!! ”
