Great Restaurant! Great service! Great price! Beats Chinatown! – My whole family has been eating here for many years. I don't write reviews but read them from time to time and thought I should let anyone who cares know that the food is great, the service is great and the owners (also a family) and wait staff are some of the nicest people around. They don't suffer arrogance and aren't phony but are good hearted and friendly. The food is superb and the price is right. The Pepper and Salty Shrimp or Oysters are favorites but pr... read more
WORST DINING EXPERIENCE – Despite the small portions and awful decor, I have been going to Phoenix Garden for the past 2 years because it is cheap and a BYOB. I will NEVER go again. I went last night with the same person who reviewed before, and he was being nice in his...I will not be. When we were done eating our food, which was shortly after we were seated as the waitress rushed us to order and the food came out too quick, we asked if we could open our bottle of wine as NO ONE was in the restaurant. The waitress said okay... read more
WORST ATTITUDE AND SERVICE EVER – A group of friends and myself decided to get together after work to catch up and have some dinner. KEEP in mind that this place is a BYOB. There were 5 of us; we brought in 18 beers and a bottle of wine. Completely reasonable for people that aren?t light drinkers. We ordered 6 apps, and 6 entrees, so it wasn?t like we didn?t eat our moneys worth. They ?politely? asked us if we could hurry up our drinking, an hour after we had been there. 8 minutes later, they told us they needed the table, e... read more
GOD AWFUL CUSTOMER SERVICE! – So, we order delivery from them often, and their food is good. It's not the best I've ever had, but it's good. Every time we ordered from them on the phone they were rude but we let it go and didn't start a fight. Anyway, then once we went there, and they were so rude: the owner himself, his wife and one staff member. Made us sit all the way at the back by the kitchen, then asked us not to move much as it would disrupt service (isn't that their bad planning???) and who asked them not to give us ... read more
Better Than It Looks! – Phoenix Garden's gaudy green awninged entrance belies a nice little cozy brick-exposed interior. Waiters and waitresses despite other reviews are good. I think they provide pretty decent if not overtly charming, falling all over themselves to please you service. Food is great and authentic. The salt and pepper shrimp, the peppersteak beef and the pan friend noodles with beef are awesome. I'm sure your standby Chinese favs would be just as good. Portions are on the smaller side with a guy needing about... read more
The Worst Chinese Restaurant – I can't believe Zagats sent us there! And rated their food higher than Shun Lee Palace! Someone's taste buds have died and gone to heaven. Besides looking like a truck stop diner, it was dimly lit and a bit on the dirty side. Service was okay, but the food was awful.....I've had better food from a street vendor. Everything.......from appetizer to entrees and tea , were tasteless. Awful, soggy dumplings, withered, bland ribs that were coated with something.....inedible. Shrimp with Lobster Sauce... read more
Phoenix Garden Restaurant – From the minute we walked in, the place gave us an uneasy feeling.They 1st tried to give us a table in the front by the door which we politely declined, and then tried to stuff us in the back(basically in the kitchen), which we also declined.So we sit down with our bottle of wine that we brought for the occasion, which is 1 of the saving graces of this rstrnt...and instead of opening the bottle for us, the waiter brings us a corkscrew to do it ourself which is fine, but it just struck me as a litt... read more
STAY FAR FAR AWAY – Disastrous meal. I am sorry I did not read the CitySearch reviews in advance. I did read Zagat, and they gave no warning to how bad this place would be. In fact, they raved about the food. The food was good. But the outright hostility of the service made a Sunday night low-key dinner into a nightmare. We sat down at 9, having called ahead to make sure they were still serving. They said yes, until 9:45. Within 90 SECONDS of sitting down, they wanted out order and hovered over the table waiting for it. We o... read more
Horrible Customer Service by Woman Owner and Her Son – I work around the area near the restaurant, it's probably one of the better places for Cantonese food in mid-town east, but the food is a bit salty. I've been there many times. The woman owner is extremely rude and often makes us sit in the back when there are 2 empty tables in the front. The 2 tables were always empty and for the entire time we're there almost every time. One time, when I went in with friends, her son said in Chinese with a nasty look on his face, there... read more
