Quick info
About Peony Inn
Peony Inn is a Chinese restaurant on Central Way in Dunfermline, open daily for evening service. From the outside it looks like a takeaway, but inside it opens up to a decorated dining area with a larger menu selection than the collection and delivery list. Sit-in choices include spare ribs with Peking sauce and crispy seaweed to start, along with duck with orange sauce and chicken breast curry. The takeaway and delivery menu covers Lemon Chicken, Chicken Wings, and Chicken Soup, with Prosecco also available, and the special fried rice comes in portions large enough to share. Collection and delivery orders arrive on time for the chosen slot, and portions run generous across both the sit-in and takeaway sides of the menu.

Customer Review Summary
Generous portions repeatedly stand out, with reviewers pointing to the special fried rice arriving in what one called an "extra special" oversized platter and a takeaway duck with orange sauce among the standouts. Several describe swapping between dine-in and takeaway, noting friendly, quick service, fresh food, and a nicely decorated, quiet interior that surprises given the plain exterior. One diner values the sit-in menu offering more choice than takeaway, while another mentions a server swapping out a sauce on request. Christmas takeaway arrived hot and on time despite the busy occasion. Against this, one reviewer reports batter chicken that arrived badly overcooked, describing it as burnt and thrown away, with no response given after they contacted the restaurant seeking one. Most others, though, describe returning repeatedly, with one having ordered three times within a couple of weeks.

“The best chinese takeaway in Fife. Thank you so much for swapping out the sauce for me in my takeaway order”
- Stephen Lindsay
“Not normally one for leaving reviews but me and my family were absolutely delighted with the service and quality of food from the Peony Inn! We done things a little differently with Christmas dinner last year…. Decided to get a takeaway for a change, the food arrived hot, bang on time for the time slot we selected and the portions were massive! Extremely generous and worth every penny. Highly highly recommend. Thanks again to the Peony Inn team!”

“Food ordered arrived yesterday as scheduled. But unfortunately our chicken in batter was extremely over cooked to the point they were black. Thrown in the bin. Shouldn't have been sent out like that. Contacted restaurant, not for refund as won't be ordering again but just for a response. None given. Very poor service.”
