"This dim sum spot’s full menu is available for delivery." - adrian kane
"This is a classic dim sum spot with hit-or-miss food. But when it’s a hit, the food is great, so that’s why it’s on this guide. Phoenix used to have the little carts rolling around the dining room, but they’ve switched over to the same kind of checkbox paper menu you find at Imperial. Stick with the classics like pork buns, shu mai with juicy shrimp, and salted egg buns. The dim sum is served all day, but you should hit it up earlier on the weekends when everything is being made fresh." - john ringor, adrian kane, veda kilaru
"If family is in town we usually head to Phoenix. The dim sum is always solid with a good variety. A favorite is their baked lava yolk buns and their hom sui gok. This is more of a banquet-style setting with some smaller tables scattered around. They have a full bar with a great list of drinks." - Karen Lee
"Considered by some to be Chinatown’s premier restaurant, Phoenix has it all. The neighborhood stalwart treats diners to dim sum served from pushcarts and multi-course, family-style meals consisting of all of the essential Cantonese dishes. Carryout and delivery orders can be placed online." - Ashok Selvam
