I hadn't been here in many many years. They are still making pretty good food. I tried the wonton soup, shrimp toast and sesame chicken. The wontons were a little doughy and not enough meat but still decent overall. The shrimp toast and sesame chicken (white meat only) were really good. The sauce on the chicken was really nice and the chicken was cooked well. I'll definitely check this place out again when I'm in town read more

The Little Phoenix has pretty decent food. The soups are very good, as is the fried rice. We've only ever ordered delivery and occasionally they will screw up the order. And there's no descriptions of the dishes in the online ordering app, which sometimes can be a little entertaining if you order something you haven't had before. But it's the best in town so we deal with it. Delivery has always been prompt and friendly. read more

Still delicious. This time we ordered take out. I wasn't quite in the mood for traditional chinese food, so I got a curry chicken dish and I wasn't sure what to expect! Turns out, it was soooo good!! I'm a fan of Caribbean curry, so I couldnt be sure the cross over would be easy, but this completely stood on its own! I will be back again and again to try this dish! read more

Little Phoenix Restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Catonsville, Maryland

Food was fabulous. Always generous portions. Great Moo Shoo chicken, and barbecue spare ribs. How's drag rice rocks?

Excellent Chinese food. I am a native NYer and this restaurant has NY quality Chinese food. I am glad my friend recommended it. You won't be disappointed. Quick service, quiet vibe. read more

Ordered delivery, gave them a second chance after bad food about a year ago. Fried wantons were hard and dry, couldn't eat them. Mushrooms in beef with fresh mushrooms were great, but what little meat in it was tough, dry , and tasteless. The ample rice noodles for the soup were stale. Terrible value for the money, as only half of the fifty plus dollar order was edible. So we got about $25 worth of food for $50+ dollars. On the plus side customer service and delivery was five stars! I won't order from them from now on and I don't recommend them . read more

Pretty standard old school Chinese spot. This is my go to and I actually cross town to get shrimp fried rice with fried noodles. They haven't done me wrong yet. Good size shrimp. Slightly greasy rice. Liquor store a few doors down . read more

There's nothing super bad about little Phoenix. We decided to try it again after about 5 years when our normal Chinese food restaurant (Hunan Joy) was closed for a week. Once again, we were very disappointed. The wontons in the wonton soup are VERY soggy and the broth had no flavor. The spare ribs were a good size and cooked well (juicy inside) but as you can see from the pictures, they had literally no sauce on them. The Chow Mein had a generous portion of chicken but way too little cabbage and the sauce is very bland. The Pork Fried rice was the best thing we had but warning, it's heavy on soy sauce so if you aren't a big fan of soy sauce, you won't be a fan of this. Again nothing here screams terrible, it's just not good and there's better options in the area. read more

Turn left. Once you get inside, if you had a Yelp-Grubhub order or a phone order, turn left. Like Donna had to in that Doctor Who episode of the same name. If you go right, you're in the dining room, and that's not the right place. If you go left, you can pick up your food. I ordered orange chicken and beef chou chou. I love that they actually call beef on a stick chou chou. When a place uses that or Cho Cho, I feel better. "Beef on a stick" on a menu makes me think of the Renaissance festival and their steak on a stake (and a deplorable person that used to work there). But chou chou? Sounds like a Chinese appetizer. The beef was tender and juicy. I loved it. The orange chicken had some onions or something in it, which added to the flavor. It was a little spicy, like I love. Good portion size. It was ready earlier than it was supposed to be, and the staff I spoke with were great. read more

So this might sound crazy but my mom picked this restaurant for her birthday dinner. I was skeptical at first too but my mom is super picky so I knew if she picked it, it might be a hidden gem. We walked in and were greeted and seated immediately. The place was pretty empty so I was nervous lol. The server room our drink orders and came back to take food orders in like 5 minutes. I was happy because honestly, I was starving. My tea hit the table and I lie to you not, 10 minutes later they were bringing out piping hot entrees and appetizers. I was very happy because my mom loves hot food, but it's gets better. All of my food was delicious. Nobody's food was wrong and again it was all piping hot. Our server took pics for us, boxed food for us, lit candles for us and sang happy birthday. My family had an amazing time. I just wished they had cots in the back because we were all ready to hit the hay after all that good food. The portions were huge and we got exactly what we paid for. I think me and my mom juts found our new favorite lunch spot. They were really amazing and made sure my family had a great time. I strongly recommend this place. There is plenty of parking, so drive over and treat yourself. The only con is the chips on the table. Don't eat those!! read more

Been hearing good things about Little Phoenix and figured I'd try some takeout. Overall, it's standard American Chinese takeout. The orange chicken had a lot more breading than chicken in my opinion, though it still tasted good. Sesame noodles, Tso's tofu, tempura, veggies, all are decent, but nothing to write home about. The one major standout was the chicken skewers appetizers. They were well marinated, grilled well, and were plump and juicy. If I ever order here again, I'll be getting these for sure! The amount of food for the prices is considerable. Don't expect to be blown away though. read more

This is not your average diner Chinese carry out spot. This is an actual restaurant with a dining room and good service. The menu is pretty standard but the food here is always hot, fresh and flavorful. They bring out water, hot tea and crispy won tons as soon as you sit down. I ordered the king pao chicken combo plate. This comes with your choice of soup, an egg roll, and egg fried rice. The food comes out quick and was steaming hot. I could barely finish the meal because the portion size was so big but the flavor was so good I couldn't stop eating. The dining room is clean and quiet. I will stop in again soon, the lunch specials are great here too. read more

We've been dining in and carrying out from Little Phoenix since it opened. Having tried nearly every other nearby Chinese restaurant, Little Phoenix is still our go-to local place for good Chinese food. Nearly everything is made fresh, and they don't skimp on the ingredients. The quality and portion sizes are generally very consistent, although they've also switched to the smaller entree take-out containers like every other restaurant did during the pandemic. We're greeted by name most of the time, and they're always very friendly. We've started doing more carry out due to time constraints, and they're still just as nice. read more

I'm in Tennessee and ordering for my aunt who resides in a nursing home in Catonsville. She loves Little Phoenix. We have tried many other places and this Chinese food is best. The owner who takes my order is so kind and the drivers always get the food there hot and great. Being in Tennessee and wanting to delight my aunt who as a New Yorker knows her Asian food, Little Phoenix always comes through. The prices are also fair and perfect. I'm so appreciative. Wish they were in Nashville. read more

I (my brother & myself) usually eat "Chinese carry out" about every 3weeks, or so, and generally go to a local carry out! Their food is usually pretty good, however, last week I was right next to "little phoenix" and gave them a try! What a treat, let me say! Both of us will most definitely be back for more! THEY ALSO HAVE A FULL SCALE (eat-in) SIT DOWN RESTAURANT which shares the kitchen! A must try!!! read more

Food was really low quality! Appetizers were really bad! The B.B.Q Spare Ribs (4) were hard like they had been sitting a long time, and the Fantail Shrimp (4) tasted strangely like chicken so I opened up the fried roll and it had a little shrimp surrounded by dough and some fishy meat (maybe chicken). The sushi: California Roll & Shrimp Tempura Roll didn't taste fresh so we didn't finish them. The Sesame Chicken Combo was okay but the egg roll tasted strange with additional flavors. They gave us wonton soup and a free egg drop soup but we didn't eat them because of the poor experience with the other food. The Beef Fried Rice was the only acceptable dish. read more

I have ordered delivery from this little gem three times and each time was extremely satisfied with the food and the service! The pork chow fun, chicken pad Thai, and eggplant dishes were excellent! The shrimp toast and egg rolls were hot and crispy - made me nostalgic for the Chinese restaurants my parents took us to as children. Consistency in the quality of the food is a huge plus! Online ordering directly from the restaurant (not Grubhub) is a breeze and the food has always been delivered in less than an hour and always with a smile from the driver. read more

This is our favorite local Chinese restaurant. We normally order off the Health Choice menu. The steamed shrimp/veggies and steamed chicken/veggies are always fresh, done perfectly with sauce on the side. Triple Delight and beef and broccoli are other favorites. To-go orders are ready in estimated time and pick up is quick and efficient. read more

This was the first and last time ordering from this restaurant. My husband went into the restaurant to pick up our order. He had to use the restroom before paying for our food. The woman working there followed him to the bathroom which he thought was odd. She acted as though she was cleaning tables, however, there was no one in the restaurant (not a good sign). I've eaten from several Chinese carry-out/restaurants and this by far the my least favorite. The food was awful!! I got shrimp egg foo young and my husband only had shrimp fried rice. There was no flavor and the fried rice tasted old. I couldn't even finish my food (and I always finish my food #greedy). We ended up throwing out the food. read more

I've been ordering from them for a while now and they are always giving great food and great service. I get the shrimp egg foo young and my boyfriend gets the shrimp fried rice. The donuts are great too, as we get them from time to time. I'll be back, per usual read more

The food is great but the service really sucks. I spent close to $32 and asked for paper plate and forks and napkins and the attendant was very smug and gave me four flimsy napkins. I mean how much does napkins cost to provide an extra courtesy to your customers I was very disappointed with the service on the night that I ordered my food. read more

This is the worst Chinese food I have ever had!!!! The vegetable lo mein was mushy and the wonton soup had no flavor!!!! read more

This is usually my preferred Chinese restaurant in the area. But they are cutting corners and getting sloppy. Just raise the prices by 25-50 cent and keep the quality good. I would personally appreciate it if they would stop using those big azz egg roll wrappers for WON TON soup. Please and thank you. read more

Ordered through the Yelp app and delivered via GrubHub. Food arrived quickly and was piping hot. All the food was delicious and definitely will be ordering from here again. Ordered Fried Meat Dumplings, Shrimp & Vegetable Tempura, Pepper Beef, General Tso's Chicken, and dinner combination lo mein. The pepper beef was the best we have had in a while from anywhere. read more

This restaurant was so good when it first opened. It has steadily gone down in quality of not quantity. We have ordered delivery for years, and was mostly satisfied until last year. I ordered cold noodles that were so thick with nut butter, I ended up throwing them out. The latest order was very disappointing. The "crispy" chicken wasn't and looked like worms coated with a sweet sauce. The beef and broccoli was so overcooked, it looked and tasted like leftovers. With the combo platters there was no choice of fried rice variety, just egg, which has no taste. I have to say, the hot and sour and won ton soups were delicious. The egg rolls were passable. I'll be ordering from another Chinese restaurant in the future. read more

Little Phoenix is a family favorite!!! Best Chinese food around town!!! We love dining in and taking out. Staff is so friendly!!

About 2 or 3 years ago we used to get carryout from Little phoenix. We were in the area on6/11/23 and decided to eat there. The entire experience was horrible. I ordered egg rolls and my lady ordered hot and sour soup. So far so good. All downhill from there. My lady tried to ask a question about the Tuna options as they have a number of different tuna choices . The waitress ignored her. She ordered the SA 18 TUNA[maguro0. It did not taste fresh and she asked to return it. Again asked about TUNA. NO response. I asked waitress if she could get someone to explain about the TUNAS. She totally ignored me. She then orderedS25 tuna roll. Also not good. I ordered the SP 10 rainbow roll. It was God awful. I normally ask for a box if i have leftover food. I ate mostly the fish on top. Didn't finish. The fish was marginal. The roll was slimy like it had been prepared long ago and then they throw the whatever on top to complete an order. I had to use bathroom before we left. Had an oops i crapped my pants moment on the way home. Didn't make more than 4 miles and 10 minutes. to CVS on Wilkens Ave. WE had requested the Tuna maguro be taken off bill. It did not happen. I took it off NO TIP .I am a very generous tipper. WAs going to call and talk to manager next day. After reading Yelp reviews it was why waste the time. Apparently the owner/manager are nor receptive to customer complaints. For the record there is no ambiance in this establishment. I could continue but I will close with this. Do yourself a favor and avoid this place at all costs. Starvation is a better option. read more

Food was delivered hot and tasty. Shrimp toast is the best!!!! Had the shrimp and they were cooked perfectly and plentiful. Serving was plenty to share. read more

Wow, I have NEVER had such a bad experience with any take out except for here. I put my order online and got a confirmation. An hour later I call over to the restaurant and they don't have my order. I replace the order to learn it would be an additional hour before they could get me my food. I asked to cancel the order since I would have had to wait two hours before my food came. The woman said that she could not cancel the order, lies, and then hung up on me. Worst customer service I have ever had. STAY AWAY! read more

I chose this restaurant at random the other day and had a fantastic experience. The restaurant is clean, pleasant, and inviting. My friends and I started with an order of steamed pork dumplings which were enormous and the filling was very good. We each ordered different "special combinations" which were toted to come with an eggroll, soup of our choosing, friend rice, and the main dish -- and the prices seemed too good to be true. We tried the wonton and hot and sour soups -- both were great. The egg rolls were huge, had shrimp you could see in them, and were crispy and perfect. The meal portions themselves were enormous and made for an entire second meal later that night. I don't live near Catonsville, but my friends and I all agreed that the next time we have a craving for Chinese we would come back to give it another go. We were all very impressed. read more

Warm sodas, only two soy sauces packets and only one hot mustard packet although I asked for extra hot mustard, no utensils or napkins, and I don't believe that was chicken. Ordered the orange chicken, Opened it up after a weird consistency and saw black/brown spots and one piece looked more like pork. I will neverrrrrrrrrr order from them again. Disgusting. read more

Awesome place. Treat you like family. We dine and carry out often. They remember our order and are always very friendly. Portions are large and food is quite tasty read more

I've been getting Sushi, having the occasional dinner at Little Phoenix for year's. Their Sushi is very well made and all the other menu items that I have had thus far were top notch. Always first on my list for Sushi. Love the woman who is at the take out window, she is so pleasant and friendly. I enjoy picking up my food just to say hi to her. Well done Little Phoenix, customer for life. read more

I ordered chicken dumplings 2 weeks ago and they were delicious so much so when I was in the area today I purchased them again. They were awful. I called to to let them know. The lady just argued with me about them. She said they are how they make them. I said no. I had them before and they weren't like that. She didn't acknowledge, didn't back down, stood her ground all over an order of dumplings. Fine, I will stand mine and not patronize her business and recommend you go somewhere where they appreciate your business. read more

Best place in Catonsville by far!!! We go At least once every 2 weeks. Soooooooooo good. Keep doing an awesome job!

Horrible in every way. You can expect extremely slow service. And don't be surprised if the staff, including the owner/manager, argues with you if you dare to make a request or question anything. The manager will argue at length right in a crowded dining room. Happy diners are not a priority or concern here. Plus, the food is bland. read more

The Little Phoenix Restaurant was always my go-to Chinese restaurant. However, last night when I went in to place my order, I saw two cockroaches crawling on the waiting room wall... I still took my food out to have for dinner and was sick as a dog afterwards. read more

This place is amazing I highly recommend it. The orange chicken is amazing and so is the pork fried rice. They even give you lots of free stuff like 2 things of white rice, soup, fortune cookies, and other small dishes. read more

On May 23 I placed an order with the Little Phoenix restaurant for carry out I ordered shrimp fried rice when I got home the food tasted OK the shrimp was so overcooked it was rubbery I called the store and they were happy to remake my order and the shrimp was no longer rubbery I normally don't return food because of my paranoia but I took a chance and it was good read more
