    We absolutely love Phoenix Palace. It's hands down our favorite cuisine spot in Mesa. The har gow (shrimp dumplings) and shu mea (shrimp and pork) are incredible, and the Chinese broccoli is always perfectly cooked. I also can't get enough of the lazy Susans--it's so fun to spin around and see all the options rolling past. If you've never experienced brunch at Phoenix Palace, you are truly missing out. It's an adventure: authentic, lively, and full of energy with the carts flowing all around you, loaded with all kinds of delicious bites. The staff is super friendly and always happy to help if there's something you don't see on the carts. Some of our other favorites are the salt and pepper shrimp, noodles, and shrimp egg rolls--the grease is absolutely worth it! Every visit feels like a little celebration, and it's a place we can't wait to return to again and again.

    Dim sum

    It's been about a few months since my last visit for dim sum and decided to go yesterday again to revisit. I'm not sure what has changed but the food is definitely different. The shrimp dumplings (ha gow) is now wrapped in a thick dumpling wrapper rather than a thinner one. It tasted too pasty. Some of the food items came out luke warm. The variety is definitely a lot less than previous. It feels like they've purchased more items frozen rather than make them in house. I know this restaurant has struggled in recent years and the family is working hard to get business back. I want to continue to support hard working business owners so I hope they can find a way to relook at the food quality again.

    Palace!

    To start with, we visited on a Monday (happened to be MLK holiday) at lunchtime. We thought it seems very busy and hopping, but later we realized they probably get busier at other times, hence the rather limited selection. My dining companion is gluten-free and neither one of us likes pork, so options were limited. We were served promptly and politely and got shrimp shu Mai, congee (which ended up disappointedly having pork in it, but there was a language barrier when the cart came around, so we didn't make a big thing of it). I also enjoyed the beef lo mein- so fabulous! A shame my dining companion couldn't try it. We did love the chrysanthemum tea! We were offered many more pork dishes, and buns/sweets that would have not worked for my friend. We patiently waited, hoping a vegetable or two might come around, but no. The same 3 carts with the same offerings kept coming around. The ambiance was nice, clearly popular with locals! I was visiting from out of town, which is what I'm assuming this. I'd definitely go back again to try, and hope to see more variety. Well done, folks!

    Steamed cart galore!

    Not gonna lie, I'm pretty much only here for the dim sum. It's just the perfect thing for a weekend brunch. The wait for a table the last couple times I've been hasn't been crazy (watch me jinx it) but that doesn't mean this place isn't busy. The minute you're seated, all the carts head your way and you're well on your way to a table full of yummy dim sum - just the way it should be. It is a bit of a wild card how much each dish costs but there is a handy chart near the entrance of how much each type of dish (A, B, C, etc) runs. That said, that's the same at any dim sum joint. Love this place, plus it's right by Lee Lee's - can't ask for a better location than that! Also, their custard pineapple buns are to die for.

    While searching for restaurants to try when visiting AZ, I came across Phoenix Palace. After seeing that recent reviews were quite good, we decided that we would give them a try. We were here on a Sunday for an early dinner. Upon entering, I noticed the decor and thought to myself "Old school Chinese restaurant", the type that's rarely seen anymore. The place wasn't busy at all. However, they do a lot of takeout business. A very nice lady who was also our server took us to our table. It was a round table with plenty of room to seat the six of us. Also, the perfect size for a large lazy Susan (as an aside---I never liked that name for it :O). It turns out that the lazy Susan was perfect for our table. There were no worries about trying to pass a plate of food, just spin the lazy Susan until it reached you. My husband and I had looked at the menu and wanted the Mandarin dinner for two . It comes with appetizers, hot and sour soup and a choice of 2 entrees. We both decided on Mongolian beef and shrimp with garlic sauce. Our grandsons and their Dad were thinking of ordering a la carte but the nice lady told them that the cheapest way to go was getting a preset dinner. They agreed to the Canton dinner which came with wonton soup, appetizers and a choice of entrees. They got two sweet and sour chicken dinners. One grandson insisted on ordering vegetable fried rice for himself. We really enjoyed the food. The Mongolian beef was the best I've ever had---tender beef with a hint of spice and lots of green onions. The hot and sour soup had lots of stock with the hot and the sour flavors quite noticeable. The appetizer portion had three different items in it---dumplings, egg rolls and crab puffs (which were similar to crab Rangoon). In the "family dinners", the soup comes in a large bowl with a ladle so one can take what one wants. There is one thing I must point out as the menu doesn't mention it---the wonton soup has shrimp in it. We found that out when the nice lady started to serve it to our son-in-law and we all piped up and said "He's allergic to shrimp". At the end of the meal, we were given dessert items. I don't know what they were called and the menu gave no clue. They were fried balls of some sort. Some had a paste-like filling while the other seemed to have some fruit in it. My husband really liked his shrimp with garlic. The grandkids and their Dad also liked what they ordered. The portions here are huge! We packed up the leftovers with the help of the nice lady. Our son-in-law and one of our grandsons both work in the same place and they had more than enough food for their work lunches the next day. We all agree that this one is a keeper and a return visit will be in order.

    2/22/26: I've been going to Phoenix Palace for years, I can't believe I never reviewed it before. Damn. I've only ever partaken of their dim sum menu, and it is absolutely delicious. I've very picky about my food, but my sweet tooth loves their egg & custard tarts, their mochi w/ peanut, the rice porridge, the pineapple buns. Their rice noodles (pork, beef, shrimp) are great, as is the sticky rice, the steamed buns w/ BBQ beef, the spare ribs, spicy cucumbers. All of it is good. We usually have a crowd of four to six, sometimes more, when we visit so we always have a plethora of food on our table. The staff is always friendly and smiling, even if sometimes there's a language barrier. We point, they provide, and we always manage to have full bellies & great laughs at Phoenix Palace. This particular Saturday we had the opportunity (and surprise!) of enjoying a parade for Chinese New Year. Awesome!

    Mannnn I'm so sorry guys I keep forgetting to take pics before I eat. Dim sum here is the best. Even regular dinner and lunch is amazing here. Everything here is amazing except.... Sadly the bathrooms need renovations. Please if you are the owner PLEASE spend $$ to renovate your bathrooms. The hot mustard here only one lady makes it and she's so good at it. I highly recommend getting hot mustard. Also get the tea. 哎呀~真的很抱歉各位,我总是忘记吃之前拍照。 这家点心真的太好吃了!连正常的午餐和晚餐也都超级棒! 这里什么都很好,除了...... 可惜厕所真的需要装修一下。拜托,如果你是老板,请一定要花点钱装修厕所! 还有,这里的辣芥末只有一位阿姨会做,她做得特别好!强烈推荐一定要试试辣芥末! 茶也一定要点!

    We didn't do reservations just walked in with group of 6. The staff was fast to serve us Dim Sum even after arriving 2:44pm close to ending Dim Sum services. They made sure we had shrimp dumplings a group favorite chow mien noodles on time before dinner services started. Great staff, fast service and it was all team work on their part. We ending up being super happy with the meals full bellies and joyful hearts. I'd recommend the place.

    The food was really good. We ordered the honey walnut shrimp, Singapore Mei fun noodles, and also the special house fried rice. Everything was flavourful and the portion was huge. (This was meant for family style sharing.) The service was good. Waitress was attentive and I would definitely come back again.

    Grace H.

    Didn't have to wait long at all and there were chairs at the entrance. As soon as we sat down we were asked what we wanted to drink and the carts promptly stopped by shortly after. The food was pretty good but admittedly it might be because we picked what we knew we would like such as chicken feet, shrimp shumai and pork ribs. The one thing we didn't quite like was the calamari since it seemed like there was too much breading but that's not normally something we'd order at dim sum so that's fine. Overall for two people the service was fast and price was reasonable. Would love to stop by again if we're in the area!

All the food came out fresh and the bulgogi came out sizzling on a hot skillet ready for us. All the meat we ate was very tender and flavorful. The yukgaejang (spicy beef and vegetable soup, 육개장) was slightly different than what we are used to, as it was more like small slices of beef rather than shredded; however, this is not a complaint as the meat was still extremely tender and almost melted in my mouth. Overall the soup was delicious and exactly what we were looking for. I also wanted to mention the banchan and how fresh it was. There honestly was not a dish that we didn't enjoy, even the fried chicken was amazing (we were so full we had to bring it home). My mother even said she would eat there everyday if we lived closer.

From the time we got there a little before 7:00 p.m. to when we left around 8:45, the crab legs were empty til about 8:30. So in the almost two hour time frame, the crab legs got restocked ONCE. Such a disappointment, esp since everyone rushed to grab some, so alot of people didn't get a chance to eat any. Luckily my son was able to get four clusters for the table to share. Our server wasn't attentive at all, had to ask him for napkins multiple times, ask for water refills , and no crab leg crackers or anything was given to us. Although I guess that last one didn't matter too much this time since there weren't really any crab legs that were offered. Our bill was around $76 for two adults two kids and this time definitely did not feel like it was worth it. Sucks to see with the beautiful remodel, the food quality and quantity has gone downhill.
