Quick info
About Peony
Peony is a Chinese takeaway on Douglas St in Glasgow, open for orders in the evenings only and closed on Tuesdays. The counter takes walk-ins rather than reservations, so customers order and collect in person. Coverage runs across the rest of the week, giving diners an evening option on most nights except Tuesday. As a takeaway, the space is set up for collection rather than dine-in service. The Chinese menu follows the standard takeaway format built around ordering at the counter. Anyone planning a visit should keep the closed Tuesday and evenings-only pattern in mind, since the shop does not open for daytime custom or take bookings ahead of time.

“This is my all time favourite Chinese takeaway since our favourite one closed down. Keep up the good work”
- Caroline Smith
“Having used the Paeony for years, I was disgusted by the food sent out tonight. Crispy beef was just strips of burnt batter, 1 king prawn was eaten from the curry before it too went in the bin. But the absolute worst part was when phoning to tell them. There was zero apology and the attitude of the person I spoke with was disgraceful, but even worse, they sent the poor delivery guy back to take photos of the 'food' in the bin, which was now outside and he had to go through it to photograph the discarded food. This is how they treat loyal customers. Avoid this awful takeaway food.”
- Jacqui
“Disappointed. Ordered from here many times in the past and always had great food but ordered today for the first time in over a year and the quality and freshness has gone downhill. …”
- Spray Tek ARC
“The food is absolute disgusting. Curry sauce is like jelly. Ribs are dry and chewy. Noodles are full of grease. Never tried the chips as the lot went in the bin. Must say it’s up there with the worse food we have ever tried.”
- Michael Gillies
“Appalling service. Phoned an order and on picking up and getting home found we are meals short. Called to rectify and were met with an rude and argumentative attitude. …”
