We stopped by for early dinner at 4:45pm and ordered the Chef signature dish on the new menu: "Cashew stir fry with chicken", "Clams with Basil sauce" and the signature dish "boneless chicken." Waiter in Yellow shirt bought us the Cashew chicken, we immediately asked: "where are the cashews ?" . He looked at it and spooned a couple of rounds and said "the chef forgot to put the cashews ? and finally found 2 small diced cashews (1/5 of the regular cashew) "here are the cashews." We took a first bite and told the only waiter in yellow shirt that the tiny diced cashews are soggy and soft, doesnt taste like cashew at all. "This is the way it is caused its cooked." he replied. "Cashew is my ALL TIME Favorite snacks and entree. Its supposed to be crunchy and not diced up." Waiter in Yellow shirt immediately throws his NASTY ATTITUDE: " YOU WANT TO TRY THE RAW ONES, I CAN LET YOU HAVE SOME ! THESE CASHEWS ARE COOKED, SO SOGGY." So much for the so-called customer service: "I came here to have dinner, why would we want to have RAW FOOD, we dont want to argue and fight with you, please CANCEL the dish."we said. OMG ! waiter in yellow shirt then RAISED his angry voice and asked the chef if the cashews are soggy?" Our dinner was already ruined by his non-sense and rude attitude. Clams with Basil sauce was also disappointing-NO FAVOR, just sticky sauce. We used to lick the plate for this entree... Old friend, since year 1990, we used to go to Chinatown ,parked on the narrow alley, to have phoenix famous Preserved vegetable/ pickle and beef stir fry every other night. We go to the branch on Valley blvd. for birthdays, weekend family gatherings, new year and company party since it opened. Phoenix signature chili oil is GONE ! Entrees quality is GONE ! All is left with RUDE WAITER FULL OF ATTITUDE. SO LONG, OLD FRIEND...GOOD LUCK !

This is not my favorite place to eat, but when I feel like some dessert, I come here for some of the traditional stuff like black sesame or red/green bean (hot). They also have a killer fresh fruit tapioca drink. Oooo, and they have this mango tofu thing. AND they have some flavor blaster almond cookies to die for. Parking is horrible, but figure it out, all good things require a little work to get.

Everytime I come here, I always seem to enjoy it. By "it," I am referring to the desserts. Asian desserts are so yummy! Ive tried a plethora of their hot dessert soups. I dont have any complaints on the ones Ive tried. They were all delicious. And I love the mixed fruit coconut drink. The ambiance is OK, I usually take my desserts to go. Seating can be hard to find because it gets so crowded.

Their dish is pretty mediocre, only standout is their skinless chicken which is nice for those who hate to separate the chicken bones or the skin. Just aware that dish is always cold and could be more likely had bacteria.. who know if the actually use bare-hand when their remove the skin and the bones. The nice thing is next to their dessert store, you get complete meal here.

Went there with several friends, the total was $61, we only had $20 bills so we gave her $80, and she never gave us any change!! (I think shes the manager, doesnt look like an entry level waitress) When I confronted her, she said she thought the rest of the money is the tip, and she refuse to give it back to us!!

Expensive but the desserts are pretty good. I havent come here that much since I dont think its worth it at all, but its worth a shot if you like this kind of food just so you can choose from what is your favorite among the many dessert places around. Our favorites have been half and halfs shaved ice.

I really love their drinks here especially their mixed fruit tapioca. Their food is also good if you want something simple like their fried rice or noodle dishes. I usually come here if Im in a rush or want something quick. They also have a good selection of desserts like custards and jelly.

Phoenix Inn is a great spot for good Chinese food in Alhambra. This is a large restaurant with good seating (others are smaller). One of their specialties is a cold chicken (boneless) that has a light soy taste. They have a nice selection of vegetables and the Beef Chow Fun is excellent.

I do not recommend going to this Phoenix Inn. I ordered a drink and the employee making the drink had placed their hands inside the cup as they were pouring the milk tea. I also saw another employee clipping their finger nails in the back. This was NOT sanitary to say the least.

This accommodation is not number 6 on tripadvisor for nothing. We had an amazing experience here. We stayed for 6 nights and it was everything and more that we hoped for. Beautiful caring staff, the best location, lovely onsite amenities. Would stay again in a heartbeat!

This restaurant serves a great variety of authentic, and flavorful Cantonese dishes. Their tangerine ribs and "Chinese sausage sweet rice" were scrumptious. The waiter was kind and recommended to us a couple great dishes - all for a very reasonable price.

The Food is pretty good here. I love there cold shredded chicken as its light but still salty a bit. The food is decently priced where you get decent portions for about $7 to $10 a plate. Theres parking behind the bank after hours or on the street.

My fave spot for Chinese "tong sui" which translate to 'sweet soup.' I like the almond milk with egg white and black rice with coconut. They also make a really good mango tofu pudding!

This is one of my family favorite spot to have dinner. The restaurant got remodeled a while ago but the food and everything else is still the same ^^^^^^^Phoenix is the best.

The desserts are good but kind pricey! Quick easy dessert after delicious chicken at Savoy. I like the mango sago coconut and also the hot desserts.

Food is good, parking is in the rear. Prices are a bit high compare to any other Chinese restaurants

A waitress treated us with disrespect just because we couldnt talk English or Chinese so well.

Soup was great, food was above average but certainly not the best. Prices were reasonable.
