“We received the best service from Mariah this Sat. It was a party of 25 guests, she serviced use with 100% customer service. the food was great and we were leaving a funeral which was a bad day for all, we left feeling a littler lighter, due to the our server. She is a GEM.“

“Loved Peony Asian Restaurant! The steamed dumplings are delicious, the soups are rich and comforting, and there are so many great dishes to choose from. Definitely recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐P.S.Come to Dallas, TX!“

“I've ordered so much I am known. Fried rice with onions. The place I eat when it comes to Chinese. The best in town“

“We worked with Sister Liu's food truck for our wedding reception and they did a fabulous job! No lines, food was fast and hot and so delicious, and they were a pleasure to work with -- made it easy and seamless for us! Could not recommend more.“

“chicken wings..hot sour soup and house fried rice..“

“This place is small and simple in design, but dont be fouled!!

Their food is great!!
The veggies are fresh!! They did look or taste canned

The meat is well cooked and the seamse chicken was crispy.

The sauce is FULL of flavor!!!!!! Great consistency!

The fried rice is actually fresh. Flavor is lighter, but there's so much good sauce, u can easily mix it with the rice.

Overall, I love it!! Thank you Banh's Cuisine for a wonderful lunch 🙏🏾🔥😋“

“Very busy even on weekdays, that’s a good sign that the food is legit. We ordered crispy pork belly, pot frog, stir-fried string bean, tea egg and hot and sour soup. Everything was fine except for hot and sour soup, the taste was weird and salty. A bit disappointed since it’s my favorite soup. I will try the noodles next time.“

“run of the mill Chinese joint. Fast and get my orders right, so thumbs up“

“I ordered the Pu Pu Platter and Hunan Beef online. It took a little more time than what was expected and the server was really nice and explained the longer wait so it wasn't that big of on issue.

I got my order and everything was correct for my order. The price was on average with other chinese restaurants.

The Pu Pu Platter was decent for all the fried appetizers and I was really looking to see how they have their shrimp toast. The wings and BBQ ribs were the best part. The shrimp toast could of been better and I'll try some again in the future to see if it was just a one off.

The Hunan Beef was very flavorful. The beef had a smokey taste that wasn't overpowering and the vegetables weren't too sweet and firm as I expected. I think the dish was really balanced and I think I'll ask for it to be spicier next time.

I would definitely order from here again and try something different next time.“

“Good food, It is best darning experience.“

“The server is really friendly and the dishes are really authentic. Sichuan flavor chicken and fried noodles are really good.“

“Fist time diners on our way to see relatives and we needed a quick bite. Very clean with nice piano background music. The staff is very friendly and the food was served quick and hot. The spring rolls, egg drop and hot n sour soups are good. The shrimp fried rice and chicken n broccoli are great. Too much food to eat at once. Very reasonably priced as well for all that food.“

“I can always count on China Buffet to feed my family after a long day of work when I don’t want to cook. Customer service is great and it matches the yummy food! Will always be back- every 2 weeks 🤪 one of my fave dishes is the jalapeño chicken! Gotta try it!“

“This local Chinese takeout spot has quickly become one of our absolute favorites. Every dish we’ve tried has been excellent, and the consistency keeps us coming back.

Portions are generous, prices are fair, and the food is always ready quickly. They also offer super convenient online ordering. If you’re looking for reliable, high‑quality Chinese takeout, this place is it. Highly recommend!“

“I haven't been here before and wanted to see how their Hunan Beef was compared to other Chinese restaurants in the area.

I ordered the Hunan Beef and a large order of the BBQ Spare Ribs. The meat and vegetables were perfectly cooked and not too stiff or too mushy. The sauce was very watery and not what I had expected. It was good overall, and I wish the flavor was was concentrated.

The BBQ Spare Ribs were my favorite from this order. They were tender and there was plenty of meat on the ribs. The sauce was not too greasy or salty and made it easier to eat. I ate it along side the steam rice and it was just was filling without losing any flavor.

The pricing was good compared to other Chinese restaurants in the area and they only accepted cash. I would definitely order something different next time and ask from som recommendations.“

“I have been eating at this place for 15 years, maybe longer. I remember when the young woman that takes your order was like 5 years old and would bring you napkins and utensils while you waited for your food.
The food is always hot, flavorful and fresh. As a vegetarian it is nice to find a place with lots of meat free options that are not just veggie fried rice.
If you are looking for an elegant setting and lots of ambiance, you might want to look elsewhere. This is a strip mall place. Since Covid, i have always gotten take away from here. So funny that after all these years, they ask every time to make sure you know that you are ordering from the China Star in Roxboro rd, not Hillsborough Rd.
Family owned and operated, easy convenient and safe location, great food with excellent vegetarian options and very reasonable prices. Pretty dang rare these days.“

“Highly recommend! It’s the best Chinese take out! It’s a family owned restaurant. Portions are huge and prices are very reasonable. Highly recommend to try their Hunan beef and noodle dishes. My husband and I order take out there at least once a month.“

“Out of towners looking for a place to eat. Stumbled upon this little house. Outside looks were deceiving, nice on the inside. Prompt in seating and taking our order. Waitress attentive, food hot and delicious. Wide variety of options Vegetarian. Available Parking is limited but street parking available. Kid friendly
Worth checking this place out.“

“First time here in 26 years of living in Durham, great customer service, food was best I have had. Orange beef to die for, crab ragoon superb, and hot and sour soup fantastic. Even have a kids meal for our kids.. Definitely will be back and we'll woth the wait!!!!!!!“

“For the amount of food you get, the price is very fair! I easily got 2 meals out of each entree. My order was a pickup. The food was fresh, delicious, and I highly recommend the general Tso chicken and sesame chicken. They rank very high on my list!“

“The only chinese eatery in Hayti! New Resident, here! I was spoiled in Winston-Salem with cool places like Mr. Lu's ( If you are ever in Winston-Salem, NC 10 out of 10! Off of 311/ New Walkertown down from WSSU! Fire, every time! And the staff is always friendly! .... ) Wang's Garden is just as good! Sesame Chicken with the Pork Fried Rice and an Egg Roll Combo is my go to! Was prepared lovely! Still figuring my way around Durham, this is a jewel in the neighborhood Hayti! :)“

“Always great food and service!! Plenty of delicious selections to choose from. Salad bar, sushi, fried rice, fried chicken, ice cream, wonton and egg drop soup, crab legs, chicken on a stick, fresh fruits, lo mein, baked salmon, french fries, macaroni and cheese, pizza, sugar donuts, jello, calamari, scallops, and much, much more.

“I’ve been going here since I was in my mom’s womb(I’m 21) and I tell everyone “Golden china is the BESTTTTTTT!!!” Great costumer service and even BETTER FOOD!!!! If you want delicious American Chinese food you have to come here can’t recommend it enough!“

“It's not a place to sit down and eat it's a place for takeout. The staff are friendly and very accommodating they will modify your order to your liking. I wouldn't expect vegans or gluten-free individuals to find many options here but definitely vegetarians.“
