Phoenix Pavilion

Didn't have the best experience, the staff was great and accommodating but we lost our appetite. We'll never be back.

A friend and I went midweek during dinnertime, so it wasn't crowded. We ordered two dishes (General Tso's Chicken and Prawns with Pea Pods) a la carte and shared them. The food was really good, and not too salty. The veggies were really fresh. I thought the prices were very reasonable as well. Service was great, though I can see why backlog can happen (see other reviews) during busy times, because they cook one dish at a time and deliver each one as soon as it is done. But I thought the food was totally worth the wait. I was really hungry, so it seemed like a longish time - probably 10-15 minutes. I'll definitely keep going back for more! I gave 4 stars because the ambiance is just slightly shabby, though I really liked the retro-style Chinese restaurant vibe. The only thing missing was the aquarium up front!

Phoenix Pavilion is great. Been multiple times now. Cool Cantonese American OLD school classics. Where else are you gonna get egg foo young? Great Old town Stanwood institution

First off, five stars for the food. I especially recommend the Mongolian Beef. The sauce is terrific. Get the 5-stars for a nice bit of heat. The lunch specials are a bargain as they serve generous portions. Note: Orange Chicken is part of each lunch special, so don't order it as your entree unless you really, really love Orange Chicken!But I have to take one star off for the service. The owners are a hard-working couple, but it seems they are just hanging on. As of December 2023, there were no light in the bathroom (just a flashlight), so that implies the budget is tight. They really could use another waitress, so bring your patience when ordering.Then there was the issue of the incorrect food being brought out. Twice I ordered Sweet & Sour soup, and twice I was brought the Egg Flower soup. It was so slow in coming (fifteen minutes when only two other tables were occupied), that I was grateful to get any soup, so I didn't send it back. In summary, the food is terrific, but the service is spotty. I recommend Phoenix Pavilion as long as you realize this is a small-town restaurant run by a hard-working (and over-worked) couple.

Starving during an afternoon of shopping so dropped in to get a couple orders of spring rolls. It was late in the afternoon and before the dinner rush so we waited in a booth for our food- we also asked for their spicy mustard, which they make themselves! I am writing this review with only having ordered and eaten the spring rolls- and wow are they great rolls! Perfect size and cooked perfectly. When in Stanwood and want great Asian food stop in or order to go! You wont be disappointed!

This is an excellent Asian restaurant in Stanwood. I decided to order carry out for lunch from here because I was craving wonton soup. I also ordered their Kung Pow Beef. I ordered outside in my car and then went inside. I sat for 10 minutes and out it came.I drove back home and was sooooo happy. The wonton soup met my expectations. The broth was flavorful and I had 6 wontons. I would suggest that for carry out they put their wontons in a separate container. By the time I got home (15 min) my wonton dumplings were pretty mushy. They were still high quality and tasty. My beef entree was delish. There was so much sliced tender beef. No fat or gristle. Since this was my first time, I didn't realize it comes with a tiny box of rice, so order extra. It has a spicy sauce and all the ingredients were cooked perfectly. Also had plenty of peanuts. I ate it for dinner too. I could t wait to go back so I did. It was just as delicious as the first time. I only got 4 wontons the second time and had requested them to be packaged separately but they must have forgotten. I recommend you give this place a try and I suggest carry out since the interior atmosphere is not all that inviting. Give them a try and they deliver. Just use their website.

This restaurant incorrectly charged my card $80. I put in an order online and then called to make a change to the order when they told me that they were actually closed. They still charged my card and then lied and told my bank that I received my order when I tried to contest the charge.For Chinese food, I recommend the Dragon Palace by the theater instead.

2nd time going to this restaurant & it's the last. We were only dine in at the time. Takeout was not busy. Had to wait 10 minutes to be seated which was long considering it was a slow day (lunch time). Waited again for menu. Server had no personality, took longer than normal to take order, didn't come by to see how things were. No comments when soup or food delivered to table. Ordered lunch special with almond fried chicken, sweet/sour chicken, fried rice & appetizer. Asked that sauce & gravy be on the side, not on food. Sweet/sour was drenched in sauce. Appetizer was also. Gravy for chicken was in a small bowl & looked like brown vomit. Chicken was overcooked & dry. Gravy was salty. Finished meal (again no additional contact from server) & had to chase down server so we could pay. I DO NOT RECOMMEND this horrible restaurant to anyone. Again, 2nd visit was worse than the 1st. YUCK!!!

Hair in my food, chow mein swimming in water, forced tipping if using credit card and 49 dollars plus tip for three lunch dishes. Never again.

Beat Chinese I've had. Good price for the amount of food you get. Very nice staff. Vibe inside is older but makes you enjoy your time more
