Peony House in Derby

Always look forward to our food from here, clean, fresh food, friendly, never once been disappointed and I'm pretty hard to please!!!

Well tonight was let down, egg fried rice wasn't hardly warm. Sorry won't be back. Not very good really, you need to check the food is hot.

I ordered from Peony house recently and decided to have Sweet and sour chicken in batter, Salt and pepper chips and Egg fried rice. I did also try sweet and sour pork Cantonese style and some prawn crackers. The total price for my food was £14.60 which is a little steep considering other resteraunts you can try a bit of everything for less and they a are much nicer. The sweet and sour pork Cantonese style really wasn’t very nice, awfully chewy. The salt and pepper chips were so underwhelming compared to other Chinese takeaways and needed way more flavour, just bog standard freezer chips, fried with a tiny bit of seasoning. The egg fried rice was sub par and the pieces of egg too big, it didn’t come well together with the rice. The sweet and sour chicken in batter was such an unusual shape and although the batter was nice, the meat was dry. Sweet and sour sauce a nice colour and consistency but full of pineapple, prawn crackers big but flavourless. Wouldn’t be rushing back here anytime soon, unfortunately.

Ordered from here tonight I don't usually write reviews but the food from here is amazing definitely recommend really fast delivery too 👌

Best Chinese Takeaway in Derby, I am more than happy to travel over 15 mins to Peony House!! The staff are friendly and the food is amazing, I recommend the Crispy Shredded Beef!!!

Just had a lovely takeaway from here. Excellent standard, been coming here for years. Food always brilliant and piping hot. Would totally recommend. Staff are so helpfull and friendly....will be back soon!!

Top quality food, well portioned, I’ve tried most Chinese as so far these are the best!! Not disappointed when ordered again

Never ever had a bad meal from the peony there food is sublime I especially love the crispy shredded chicken and the mushrooms they are amazing we travel 8 miles to fetch it as it’s that good

Never had a bad meal from here. The vegetarian options are a little bland, which is why it doesn’t get gold, but it’s easily the best all rounder in the area. Canton style crisp beef is their signature dish.

Visited store for takeout when in store male behind the counter on the phone waiting over 5 mins to be served, when approached male was very rude and trying to rush my order which due to particluer ditery requirements these questions were required, very rude male no manners food was very bland better chineses in Derby this ranks at the bottom.

Peony House was briefly closed during early days of lockdown, but its back open and the takeaway / delivery service in full reliable action again, Kung pao chicken still good, well worth a Chinese takeaway treat.

Just tried this take-away for the first time since moving to Oakwood and it is hands down the best chinese in Derby! Value for money was incredible, the beef and the ribs were tender and the crispy beef was a 10/10, not very often you get crispy beef that is actually crispy. Would 100 percent recommend this Chinese. The staff were also very friendly and helpful when we wanted to change something with our order.

We ordered our food at 7:15pm told 30 mins to collect. I arrive after 35 mins, the shop was full with people waiting and a very large queue paying and ordering. 20 mins ish later I got to the front of the queue and paid (8:05-10pm). I was told 10 mins for my food. At 8:45 I received my order of food. Not once an update or apology, appalling service. Now the food, NOT WORTH THE WAIT it was bland and over cooked. The spare ribs, what little meat was on them was dry and hard and went in the bin. NEVER AGAIN - highly recommend you go elsewhere, so much better food out there.

Ordered the Chinese to pop back and collect after a few drinks, quick service, plenty of choice, Kung pao chicken not on menu but you can order it, collected later and plenty to eat, lovely.

Rang the order into Peony house, walked round to collect and it was just in time, good size portions, good Chinese food , well worth a collection.

This place has Great food great tasting well worth a try. Had food from here a few times and never disappoints.

Saturday evening, phoned the order for four people, then went and collected ready, great portions, good food, fabulous choices, all good.

All of the dishes chosen were average. The chicken chow mien was dry and unappetising. The chicken curry and chicken and chips were ok. The duck in pepper sauce was tasty but with far too many chunks of raw green pepper.

While i was queuing at the Fish Bar my wife wanted Chinese, she was served very quickly from the typical Chinese menu and the food was good and she was waiting for me.

Recent take-away experience was just as good as last time, ordered while round the shops, arrived back about 10 minutes later to collect and was impressed with the quick service, and great food from an excellent menu.

Been using this takeaway off and on for some years now.The cleaniness is good menu is a bit samey Staff in the main are friendly but the quality varies on each visit.Its not the cheapest in the area so would expect better.Still would use again but not so frequent which is a shame cos when the food is good its very good on this occasion it wasnt Cash only payments also off putting Get your chip and pin sorted.

Lovely food drive from Nottingham for my food it’s so good. Tried others bu5 always returned as not found anywhere as good. I phone my order then drive there and it’s ready

Only recently changed to using this local Chinese (mainly cause our favourite closed down) and on a second trip its still very quick service, normal large menu choices and all round a good Chinese takeaway, will probably become our new regular choice.

Not used in a while (normally use the chip shop next door), its a tidy takeaway with good prices, normal range of Chinese food and quick service.

Visited and ordered food from here a couple of times now, and prefer it to other local Chinese's because it's a quicker service, chicken chow mien contains more chicken, free prawn crackers (maybe a minimum spend) and they were happy to add such things as cashews to any dish with no trouble. This also seems to be the best priced local Chinese.

Been having food from here for years and always have nice meals and always hot. We have so many meals from here staff know our voices n what we want when we ring up to order. We have moved out of the area but travel few miles to get our meal. xx

Not sure what's happened at Peony House. It has been reasonable in the past but called in last night after a busy day, looking forward to a tasty dinner. I was dissapointed. The rest of the family enjoyed their meal but to comment on mine, I opted for the Special Fried Rice. I asked what was included and told meat and some vegatables. Hmmm, I hadn't expected to have to search for the meat. This was really not very good and certainly not up to the quality of its local competitors.

We were delighted to be able to have our neighbours around for a Chinese takeaway meal. We haven't been there for a while but definitely will return for our at home meals. Brilliant food. Well priced. Really enjoyed it.

The choice of Chinese takeaways for people luving in Chad seem to be limited to this obe and a couple on Nottingham Rd near the Toby. In my experience the ones on Nottm Rd are really bad so that leaves this one.

I had a special curry takeaway this week which is usually excellent. Unfortunately for some reason the curry sauce tasted more like gravy so disappointing..

"Popped" in here 6:30 after a hard day at work - still sitting there like an idiot at 7pm on a Monday night - of all nights! To say I was unhappy is an understatement! Their excuse? "We had a really big order in before you" ......errrrr - so why didn't you explain there'd be over 30 minutes wait before I ordered to give me the option of not doing so? Oh - that's right - you wanted my cash! As for the food - in a word - crap!

It's always good to live close enough to walk to your local takeaway...5 minutes stroll, always get a nice warm welcome and the food is freshly cooked to order...and really good food too.

Went as a treat for the family, very disappointed with the food, very bland and tasteless, food seemed to lack any freshness, just not good, wastr=e og £30, even the dog wouldn't eat the considerable leftovers..
