    Shrimp fried rice
    Lee E.

    I just ordered the shrimp fried rice interesting enough the flavors reminded me of chicken noodle soup. I can't explain it. I don't think I'd order it again. The customer service experience was unpleasant, almost grumpy.

    Location

    DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE. my boyfriend has a severe peanut allergy and whoever took the food order over the phone made note of it. After taking a bite of the egg roll (which apparently had peanut sauce), we had to rush to the ER. when we called to speak to the owner/manager, they refused to refund us and stated that we needed to bring the food back. They said we could file it with their insurance company and was super argumentative; no apology - nothing!

    Dragon with Phoenix (General Tso's and Hot & Spicy Shrimp. Good stuff.
    Carla S.

    OK, I need to clarify this..by calling it "takeout" I mean the Americanized version, chicken often breaded, sticky and sweet..Not authentic. I'm one of the few it seems that enjoys both types. Sometimes I crave my chicken sweet and breaded, so sue me. That being said, back to my original review... Very good Chinese takeout with large portions and excellent value. General Tso's is some of the better I've had in OKC..sweet, spicy with the vinegar kick all equally covered. It was overbreaded some and a bit mild, but definitely on the right track. They said I can customize the sauce, so next visit I'm going to try to crank up the volume. Spicy Shrimp was pretty good as well, but the loads of tiny diced vegetables were kind of hard to eat with the tiny, flimsy plastic forks. Spicy sauce is not that spicy, just sweet and sour simmered, simple, but it went well with the shrimp. Shrimp were perfectly cooked. TIP: order the Dragon & Pheonix for $9.95 and they will let you combine hefty portions of 2 different entrees. The family here is very friendly and accommodating. We dined in, but the place is really more set up for takeout and delivery. They don't even have cups for water, and bottled water costs 75 cents. One issue...is the annoyingly loud door bell really necessary? Maybe turn it down some? It was very loud to everyone waiting or dining up front.

    Not a bad spot for Chinese food. They give you a free 2 liter if you spend over $30. Only downside is that it has to be walk in...

On the other side of the…read moreChinatown supermarket, this Chinese/Vietnamese restaurant has just about everything you could want and need! They've got the roast meats, a large Chinese dinner menu, an equally large Vietnamese dinner menu, catering for events, and my favorite: their dimsum menu. For their regular menu, my family and I will frequently order to go and occasionally dine in. We often order off the Chinese menu when we're going family style (flat noodles, salt & pepper squid, egg noodle lo mein, and scallion chicken are some of our favorites), and we will order from the Viet menu for individual portions (we love their egg noodle soups, pho, broken rice platters). One of my favorite dishes is their lotus root summer salad, and I've not found another place that beats that dish here! I've found their service with regular dining in to be hit or miss. Most of the time we get great service but a few times here and there we have a hard time finding our server. Moving on to my favorite part of Golden Phoenix- the dimsum. They serve dimsum primarily on the weekends from opening to 3pm (I think), and they have really brought up the OKC dimsum game with their large and delicious dimsum menu! Their dumplings like the hargow and shiumai are large, filling, and delicious! I particularly love the fried shrimp and chives dumpling and their shrimp egg rolls. The service during dimsum is fantastic because they've got people pushing around carts and carrying plates of food out to you. Once you're ready for dessert, make sure you grab some egg tarts for the table!
