It was a disappointing dining experience for us in Golden Peony on 30 July 2014. Both my wife & me were very much looking forward to bring one of our closest friends here together with his family, for celebrating his birthday.

It could have been a much better evening, as all of us expected great tasting food but the food was well below average among the local Chinese restaurants.
