    Well... it's not exactly riverside at all. It's around the block from the river facing away from…read morethe river... but yeah... Not only is it around the block, but it's not very noticeable where it is located, and I had to look twice before I saw it. The first thing I did was to check out the menu out the front of the restaurant. And the prices!!! Oh my... they're rather expensive. You're looking at just shy of $20 for a meal. In Chinatown you can get a nice meal for around half the price. I hopes the food would match the prices, and to be honest the bar was set pretty high at $17.50 for a satay chicken. To be honest the food was actually pretty decent. The thing is that both Chinatown and Port Adelaide are roughly the same distance away from my house. Given the option I'd head to the CBD any day. Good but not worth the high price.

    Absolutely brilliant. I visited the restuarant over a year ago when I came down from Townsville,…read moreit was great then when I took my mother and sister there for a meal. I came down again for mom's 90th and we went there with the whole family (8). Meals were brilliant, service was brilliant, atmosphere was brilliant. We had Gordan and Lan sit with us for the birthday cake and we wer enjoying their company so much we asked their kids to join us. Prices seemed right, but the standard of food is well above your usual Chinese restuarant standard. Well worth the trip from anywhere for a meal of such a high standard. I will be a regular whenever I am in Adelaide. Again, absolutely BRILLIANT!!!!

The rice only has 2 tiny prawns and the pork was abizmal, lakes any flavour and was a blatant intentional rip off! I'm so angry that the most expensive meal in months that we got was so awful and scammy. Every single piece of 'sweet n sour pork' was mostly the breading which was very doughy and tasted like a bland undercooked doughnut ball. The pork inside was approx half the size of a tic-tac and was a tiny square, I mean wtf! The service on pickup was also awful on the phone they quoted 35-40 mins, when we got there at that time they said in a snarky tone that it'll be another 5 mins, but it took over 50 mins in the end with no apology on the wait. Do better, be better! I do have to mention though that the satay beef is amazing, but portions have decreased a lot with the price rise lately and it's just not worth it any more. If you want good Asian food go to mai kitchen or red rock cos Silver Dragon isn't it anymore.

    Appearances can be a little deceiving when it comes to this little Chinese restaurant, but if you…read morejudge it by its first appearances you would probably walk straight back out of the door again. The décor is a little seedy and although there is a few tables providing an eat-in option, I actually wouldn't recommend it. Wouldn't provide the most ambient eating experience you've ever had. Other than that however, the food is quite good and would rival any other Chinese takeaway business boasting a similar menu and typically Western Chinese food flavours and combinations. The prices are also very comparable, at around $10 a dish depending of what you order. The one great thing they have going for them is the opening hours, which are some of the latest I have experienced with a Chinese Takeaway place. So if you are feeling peckish later in the night and think everything will be closed, think again and try calling Silver Dragon Takeaway and you might be pleasantly surprised and subsequently, pleasantly fed.

    This place is absolutely wonderful. What attracted me here was the fond reviews I've red over…read moreGoogle for this place. So after struggling to find a decent Chinese restaurant in the berbs, I did have high expectations for this gem. Although the street appeal probably isn't anything to woo at, and inside is a tad bit dated, yet is still humble in a family restaurant kind of way. I feel it may have been the owners who were working the front of house, and they were both lovely. They clearly have been in the business a while and did a good job and making us feel comfortable, and giving us a little giggle as well. The menu had heaps of choose from. Seemed as if there were a few extra options compared to other basic Chinese restaurants, including a traditional and western dessert menu. I had the Chicken Satay dish off the chef special menu. It was amazing. The sauce was flavoursome and certainly didn't seem like out of a jar type of thing. It was served with broccoli pieces as well as a little burning flame in the middle of the plate. My partner had the Sizzling Steak Mongolian style dish and the pieces were tender and juicy, with lovely sweet and tangy Mongolian flavours through-out. The plate was also served with vegetables. I love this place. It's my new found gem. I've been searching a while for a nice place to grab some quality Chinese food, and I think I've found my stop. This place isn't anything designer or high-end perhaps, but it still possess a charming old-school look and humble home-style meals, which is something I look when dining at Asian restaurants in the berbs.

The staff is just about as friendly as you can get.. Service was quick and prices where very good. Food was good, I have had better but it's defiantly the best Chinese food in the area. My son has asked me if we can eat there again every night since trying the place. This will become our local Chinese takeaway from now on.

Could definetly use an uplift with some decor and lights as it is a bit dull and dark and depressing inside but the food is great and well priced.

    I've eaten here many many times, but this is the first opportunity that I've had to review it on…read moreYelp. The Phoenix is perfectly situated overlooking one of the Marina's in North Haven. It very rarely gets busy, possibly due to its enormous size for a restaurant situated in such a small suburb. It has a massive balcony which I have never seen used - a real shame. A bit of money spent on some nice outdoor furniture and a few umbrellas and Chinese lanterns and I'm sure that this place would thrive. As you enter the restaurant, you're greeted by a huge plasma TV set to silent with subtitles. I have to admit that a restaurant that needs a TV has predetermined the atmosphere before you even sit down. The Phoenix is overly lit with bright lights that unfortunately simply accentuate the awful decor. Sadly it's dull and listless, and when the air-con/heating is on, as it was last night, then hold on tightly to your menu as you choose your fayre, or else you'll be fishing it out of the marina. But I guess that the reason anyone goes to a restaurant in the first place is for the food, and this is where the Phoenix comes into its own; it's simply excellent! Even simple sate chicken and sizzling Mongolian lamb was a delight to the palate. Delicately spiced, and melt in the mouth - the dishes almost made up for the lack of anything else. Almost. And that's the reason that I eat here so often. Although to be fair - I mostly take away. Eat here by all means - but make sure that you take delightful company as I did - that way the focus is taken away from my first few paragraphs!
