Phoenix Palace

I was really happy to finally eat here. Everything was good Cantonese food with a twist. The mussels had some amazing chewy pearl noodles that soaked up all the sauce. The chili crab noodles was excellent. Sweet and savory. The house roasted chicken was juicy and tender. The duck was beautifully plated and looked like a fusion of Korean pork ssam but with duck. Salted cuttlefish had a good texture and consistency. Also the mango pomelo dessert pudding was also very well executed. It really warms my heart that the younger generation is preserving Cantonese cuisine since we’re losing so much of it in Chinatown. Also the decor is so cute! And thanks to Kim for being such a great host.

I’d give this incredible place 6 stars out of 5. Our thanks to Chase Sapphire and the Sapphire table option at Open Table for helping us connect with this dining experience. Exquisite decor. Professional friendly staff who took ample time to explain their history, connection with potluck club (and differences), and the details of how each dish was created. Food was served promptly upon ordering. As for the food - quite possibly the best Cantonese we’ve ever had. We ordered most of the menu - the Olive Yaotiew, chilled tofu, mandarin chilli wings, chilli crab noodles, duck breast, a hand pulled veg flat noodles off the menu, and water spinach. Every one was perfect. The chilled tofu set the context as the first dish to arrive - soft, silky, amazing sauce. The Yaotiew followed with its crunchy deep fried satisfaction. The chilli wings were the crunchiest and softest wings we’ve had, and they sticky sweet sauce went superbly with it. The duck was amazing - crunchy outside, soft inside, cooked to a perfect soft texture. The flat noodles were superb, the crab noodles were out of this world. The water spinach was the only one that came close to what other establishments manage to achieve. Amazing place - yearning to get back to try out the rest of the menu!

Fabulous experience at Phoenix Palace last night. We shared three dishes - the duck breast with steamed flour wraps, chili crab noodles and chili wontons. The duck was so tasty with a unique fresh flavor sauce that was tomato based. The noodles and wontons also had a pleasant twist that just elevated the food to not your standard Chinatown fare. But what stood out was how friendly and welcoming everyone was from the hostess who helped get a spot at the bar last minute to the owner who walked us through the menu. The owner cared about our experience… something you don’t get often. We will be back to try all the other dishes that we did not get a chance to try!

Such great food and service. Smaller menus usually promise quality food and that’s what we got. Came here with a reservation through Chase Sapphire Reserve on a Thursday at 5:30. It was quiet at first then got busier an hour in. But definitely not too loud like other reviews mentioned, but probably because we came on a weekday right at opening. We got the crab noodles, baby bok choy salad, chili wontons, mandarin chili wings, olive yaotiew, and chilled tofu. Didn’t get the hype about the crab noodles, but really enjoyed the wings and wontons. We got the mango coconut dessert, which was comped because we celebrated a birthday which was very kind of the management. The dessert was also very good that we bought another one to share. Federica, our waitress, really made our experience. She’s so sweet and extremely attentive. The employees were all good at cleaning our table throughout. Very impressed by the service. Would definitely come again and recommend

immaculately designed restaurant great for small groups or date night! along with great vibes, the service was also wonderful, but the food was a hit or miss for me. Lobster sticky rice was so good, lots of flavor and great texture. the salad and the cuttlefish were both a bit disappointing. the salad was very interesting texturally, but flavor wise a little bland. the cuttlefish was kind of meh, all different sized pieces, some of them much too large and kind of rubbery, and the flavor was mild. Overall, I liked my dinner here but it wasn’t a wow for me.
