Pioneering eatery with an extensive menu. Founded in the '60s, this staple serves a big menu of Chinese meat, seafood & veggie dishes.
A few of us in our party either hadn't had Chinese in a long time or were picky when it comes to Chinese cuisine. So if you're that kind of group and looking to experience authentic non-fast food Chinese cuisine, this is the place! We all enjoyed our meal. Recommend the sweet and sour pork, sausage fried rice, and Korean style beef haha. Nice staff!
Phoenix Inn, one of the most storied restaurants in L.A. Chinatown. Truly Great food and friendly service. Huge portions. Nothing fancy, 60s decor. No site of Katai Chang and his wife, May Chang, But they'd probably be well into their hundreds if still alive. Real treat to visit The most successful Chinese restaurant empire in LA.
Horribly rude host. He didn't ask a few questions that may have made our initial experience pleasurable (dining in, spicy, tea). He yelled, "No tip," 3 times while I signed my receipt. We watched him bring another patron tea and bring her food to her table while our food was left to come fetch from a random table. The bill was approximately $75 for 4 dinner plates with NO rice, NO soup, NO tea, & NO cookie. My vegetable plate was full of mushrooms and 3 small pieces of carrots and broccoli. Perhaps dining in would be a better option. However, the service was so horrible, we will not return to find out.
Great place for solid Chinese food. Wish their hot sauce was spicier though.
4 of us came here for dinner. We lucked into a parking spot very close by. I noticed the combination dinner for 4 people and we ordered that. It was an enormous amount of really tasty high quality food that is expertly prepared. We left with 4 to go boxes. Our server was excellent. Very nice evening.
The price and portion are pretty reasonable. I am able to get or ask a box to go when I can't finish my lunch. The staff is also friendly. The atmosphere is pretty calm and quiet since I went there on Thanksgiving Day
We loved the food. We tried the shrimp, sweet and sour pork, and fried rice. Recommended for those looking for a place to eat at China Town, LA.
This is my Favorite Chinese restaurant ever. I have going to Chinatown for many years to enjoy Peking Duck with the bun, chicken fry rice and the Beef soup is the BEST that I have ever had...
