Reviews for Peony Bistro - Asian cuisine and bar in Newark, OH
Such a pleasant surprise! Quite possibly the freshest authentic Chinese restaurant for miles & miles! The lo mein noodles... weren't overly starchy & sticky & the pot stickers are better than Rice Bowl (they've been my favorite for almost 20 yrs) so,that's really saying something! Read more
Credit card system went down. We were done eating and basically held hostage for 40 minutes while they tried to figure out how... to have us pay. Then they told us if we had cash that we could pay that way (neither of us did). Then we were told that we coulduse the ATM across the street to get cash to pay our bill. I had to cross one of the busiest streets in Newark, pay a $3.50service fee for the ATM and get charged $3 by my bank all so that I could pay our bill just because their system was down. Notto mention it was some sketchy gas station ATM with no bank affiliation. So I?m sure my card will get compromised. 10/10 wouldnot recommend. Read more
The food here is amazing! Best sushi place ! If you are a sushi lover , you must try it ! Best service in town as well.
Portion size very small for the price. Crab Rangoon was probably best in town that I have tried . Huge portion of fried rice in... comparison of how much sweet and sour chicken I had. Also the sweet sour chicken was mixed in sauce which I'm not crazy aboutbut flavor was good. The chicken lomein wasn't lomein noodles and was greasy and super small portion for price . Basically gotsnack portions for dinner price. Read more
Came back again tonight and shared a bunch of sushi with friends. The food and service is top notch and I always feel incredibly... welcome here. One of my favorite restaurants in the area. Read more
First visit but certainly not the last. Welcoming staff, quick service and lengthy menu. Hot and sour soup one of the best I?ve... ever had, chock full of veggies and tofu, and robust beef flavors. Couldn?t resist egg rolls and they were perfectly fried andloaded with veggies. Main dish, sesame chicken, delicious, fresh tasting and generous serving. No plastic glasses here as seemspar for the course at a lot of restaurants- it?s the little things that?ll make or break. Super meal, thanks! Read more
Craving for Chinese food and didn't feel like cooking so decided to try out here. It's an okay Chinese restaurant. Was wanting... more of a family style dinner of sharing dishes but it's more of an American style of each person ordering their own dish. Myfavorite from what we ordered was the garlic eggplant. The shrimp w cashew and Hunan beef were okay. Biggest complaint isportions are really small for the price I'm paying. It was also saltier than I prefer in authentic Chinese food. Again, it's anokay Chinese restaurant for the location and given the people who tend to eat there. Read more
Love this place. We go once a week. They have the best sushi in town and prices are fair. Also the best chicken wonton soup I... have ever had in my life. The Chinese food is great, too. Honestly, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Read more
