Phoenix Chinese Cafe

After reading some mixed reviews, we decided to give Phoenix Chinese Cafe a try, and we were so glad we did! From the moment we walked in, the service was excellent--attentive and welcoming.We ordered family style, and every dish was absolutely delicious. The soup was flavorful and comforting, and the duck was perfectly cooked and full of rich, savory goodness. Every dish we tried exceeded our expectations, making it hard to pick a favorite.This was a fantastic dining experience, and we're already looking forward to coming back for another family celebration. Highly recommend for anyone looking for great Chinese food in San Antonio!

Here is my decent review with a poorly taken picture attached. I meant to take another but after tasting my sweet and sour chicken I got a bit eager and just kept eating. This, along with the rice was quite good. I ordered off uber eats so I didn't get to see the ambiance of the restaurant and I can't judge the service, but I have ordered many times and my order has always been yummy and correct. Would reccommend!

Happy to say this place offers halal meat options, which makes it one of the very very few Chinese restaurants in town where people who eat halal can go to! Just make sure to talk to them beforehand and they have a separate area in the back to avoid cross contamination!I've always enjoyed the food here, and the flavors have treated my palette pretty well! I like my food spicy so either request it when ordering or add hot oil and spices after it comes out lol. If you dine in they have tables with lazy susans -revolving food stands - for your convenience! Personally love them and feel like it's a nice touch to the restaurant. This place is definitely affordable and comes with a lot! They have specials and deals which include so much for one low price. Kind of confused why people are giving low stars, so my best recommendation is to go visit them in-house for the best experience!

Food: subpar quality, missing ingredients and spices in traditional dishes Service: server was overwhelmed and the owner is argumentative when advised a dish is not what was orderedAmbience: clean and updated but I'd rather have good food than the fake roses on the table Trying to get the order correct or giving feedback didn't go over well with the owner sadly

We frequently visited @phoenix_chinese_cafe prior to the pandemic. This is our first time to visit since it changed management. My husband and I both had unsweet tea. We were looking forward to having the Peking Duck 3 ways and was hoping it was as good as before. The 3 ways includes (1) primarily the skin with some meat into the bun with hoisin sauce and scallions, (2) soup with some duck meat, and (3) stir fried duck. Everything was very flavorful. Unfortunately, the hoisin sauce was a bit salty rather than sweet. We ordered the Shrimp with Walnuts, which was good. The Congee with Fish was for Dad but I think he enjoyed most of the other food and didn't have room for the congee. It's a very large bowl! My husband tried some and said it was tasty. We took lots of leftovers home. Sue made sure our drinks were constantly full. Please note that the menus handed out at the restaurant doesn't reflect new prices. They need to update their printed menus.

I went today and order pork fried rice to go, and it was a complete fiasco. The rice was over cooked, lacked veggies, I counted 5 bean sprouts, 5 green pees, no green onion slices, just a disaster, very disappointing! Beside paying $9.95 for the rice, I was charged $0.75 for sweet & sour sauce, which is free if you dine in, and they also charge 3% for paying with a credit card. Not Happy!

New owners the food does not taste the same. Meat tasted re-heated , fried rice was really Mexican rice, and rangoon was hard.

Amazing Peking Duck, and extremely friendly and helpful staff. Will definitely return!

We always order from the authentic Chinese food menu and it never disappoints. We've been coming for years and though different owners the authentic Chinese meals are always delicious!

Sat down as the only guests there at 11:30 am on a weekday. People are staying away in droves! Then the food came and we figured out why. Bland semi warm Chinese food. Really?
