Phoenix Asian - Santa Cruz

The food at this restaurant was excellent, priced well, and served quickly. The food, soup, and tea were served piping hot. The vegetables were perfectly crisp. The staff even brought a side of sweet and sour sauce without being asked. I ordered the Shrimp with Lobster sauce from their lunch menu.

Really enjoyed the stay here. Wonderful asian inspired dive restaurant. Lunch menu was phenomenally priced, large portions, and absolutely delicious. This will be my go-to lunch place when in the area. We were the only diners so cannot speak to their service when things are busy.

We have tried most Chinese in this city and that is by far the best! Hot and acid soup is perfect! Food is delicious and they pack the sauce separately when you order so that your fried amazing not soggy before you can enjoy it. The fact that the staff is incredibly nice is just a bonus. They also deliver. What else do you need?

The service at this restaurant was excellent and the food was delicious. The ingredients were fresh, and the sautéed green beans were crunchy with a great taste. None of the dishes were greasy, unlike my past experiences at some Chinese restaurants. The vegetable chow mein was flavorful and the red sauce was exceptional. The green tea Boba was also amazing. I was pleasantly surprised by the fresh food, fast service, and delicious flavors at this place, as I had low expectations initially.

Literally the worst Chinese food I've ever had. The pork fried rice had zero flavor.. It was like eating greasy cardboard pellets. The Orange chicken was soggy and tasted like it was frozen and microwaved, also pretty bland. Spent around $40 for two plus a tip, ordered it to-go so we eat near the ocean, and ended up tossing the all of it because we couldn't force it down. I hate wasting food and money. So disappointed. NEVER COMING BACK.
