My boyfriend and I cannot rave enough about our experience tonight! Everything was phenomenal — from the flavorful, spicy food to the sweet, attentive waitress to the buzzing, inviting atmosphere.
We had the spicy dumplings (pork), king pao chicken, dandan noodles, and green beans. Everything came out quickly, was the perfect temperature, and had so much flavor! My favorites were the spicy dumplings and the green beans, but honestly everything was delicious. Even the water is delicious!
We will definitely be back here when visiting Memphis again next year! 10/10 – definitely deserving of its 4.9 rating.

The food was amazing, and everything was in large shareable portions. The service was absolutely phenomenal, the servers and manager were great and they took the time to the explain the menu and the ambiance was great! Happy hour had too many flavorful options to choose from. I’ll definitely be returning!

Absolutely fantastic and a must visit! They do a great job at utilizing the peppercorns to where you’ll feel the numbing without the need to make it super spicy.
Yes the dumplings are as good as everyone says.

This great Chinese restaurant is not what I expected in Memphis. This restaurant located in midtown area with their own parking lot on the side of the building. Our server was lovely and helpful. The food came out really quick. Everything we ordered tasted so authentic. And when they warned you with the spice level, they are not joking around. The food is fresh. This place hands down one of the best Chinese out there.

Went for the first time tonight for dinner and enjoyed everything. Good food, great atmosphere. Reservations were at 7:30 but easily was able to move them up to 6:45 day of.
I love that it is designed as a family style eatery as it made making decisions on what to try. The menu had a wide variety of dishes to try. We chose the chicken dumplings, green beans, whole fish (picture attached) and the duck. Wish the duck had been crispier but the fish was AMAZING.
Can’t wait to come back with more friends!

“It’s extremely rare for me to give five stars, but this place absolutely earned it! Dining here was a genuine pleasure. Every single dish ordered at our table,…and I mean every dish, was thoroughly enjoyed. That’s a huge accomplishment! The food was not only incredibly tasty but also came in nice, satisfying portions. They really got it right.”

Loved the calm ambiance here! The Kung Pao Shrimp and spicy dumplings were amazing, the taste of jasmine tea in kung pao shrimp made the meal even better. Big thanks to our server Didi for being so accommodating.

Pork Dumplings – We stopped by Pedals of Peony for Happy Hour and tried the dumplings. They were outstanding! Soft, flavorful, and served in a sauce that hits just right. Everything tasted fresh and well-balanced, and the presentation was clean and simple. You can tell they take pride in what they serve. I’ll definitely be back to try more from the menu

Really only knocking off a star due to price. This is the only Szechuan restaurant in Memphis I know of, and while the heat and flavors are there, the food quality can be hit or miss. For the (premium) price, there really shouldn’t be any misses. Friendly service and no auto gratuity like so many places around are doing now. They offer weekday lunch specials and a daily happy hour for food and drinks.

Petals of Peony is a serene, spacious and classy authentic Chinese restaurant. I thoroughly enjoyed dining here as both the wait service and food were tasty. We tired the crispy duck, which tastes a bit drink and tough. The sauce used is also the standard sweet and sour sauce used at other smaller take out places. I prefer roast duck with soy sauce, so I’m not entirely sure they live up to their authentic Chinese title. I do love their white rice. It comes out hot moist and embodied the essence of fragrant jasmine rice aroma. The eggplant with minced pork was tasty! I am still interested in trying their other hot dishes–there are so many! I also love the tote bag and $5 off coupon they give to each of their customers. Kudos to great marketing strategy. I’ll be back.
