    #7 and appetizer AC #2
    Auburn Trojans R.

    Wife sunning in Mexico and dieing for a good meal. Chinese sounded great and knew just the place! Golden Phoenix!!! Food is always great. I opted for a #7 Chicken Chow Mein, pork fried rice, sweet n sour chicken, and won ton soup. I added an appetizer #2 Bbq pork( theirs is different than most- glazed strips) Chicken Fingers and egg rolls. Look for yourself! Glad I didn't buy the Chinese at Safeway!

    Food was okay. Ambience - it was dark and cold in there. Not sure if they are trying to conserve energy or what but that is the vibe I got. Or their heater was broken since they have space heater out. Service was kind of slow since there were only 2 people in there not sure if the server was also the cook.

    The food was not bad. But for 20 bucks they could do better than two little wings and two little shrimp. Cheap skates.

    This is the old traditional Chinese food. Not many places like this anymore. We recommend it!

    Just went by Golden Phoenix for lunch. Looks like they are out of business. 11:40 and lights are off and no one is there.

    The pork chow mein and the pork fried rice had little to no flavor. The waitress was great though

    Food was really salty and had no flavor. We will not go back. The only good dish was the fried rice.

    I had read the reviews about this place a few times and was anxious to try it. Figured it would be…read moreslow over the recent holiday weekend and it was a great time to give it a try. Went in before the dinner hour, and everything was very self-explanatory. There are two portion sizes... Large and child. You pick the appropriate bowl and start filling it with vegetables, rice or noodles. Apply seasonings and sauces and then hand it to the attendant. They then prepare it for you on a large heated surface and it only takes about five minutes. Your entrée is returned to you on a plate and you can top it off with several sauces. The vegetables were fresh and delicious and they even included plastic gloves to use while you were handling tongs to put the ingredients in your bowl. Very nice touch. The lobby itself was spotless. Not more than 10 minutes after coming in. Two larger parties came in after me and they filled up the dining room. Attendance were very quick to remove used dishes from tables and wipe everything down. Overall, a great experience and value for the money. Highly recommend.

    Food is great and very filling! I definitely recommend getting as many veggies and meat as you can…read moreinstead of hoarding the noodles. Those noodles fill you up fast! The veggies are fresh and the sauces really do help the flavor. Take advice from some of the sauce combo recipes they have on the boards. You fill up your bowl, hand it to the very nice assistant, they add your meat of choice and cook it on the flat iron. It becomes ready to pick up in about 10min. They ask you if you want a portion of rice too (free). They have great finishing sauces as well. Even the biggest eaters in my family can't finish their first plate so buying All You Can Eat isn't the best choice in my opinion. I will never get AYCE again. (Probably a $5 price difference.) If you buy the large instead of AYCE you can at least take your leftovers home. You cannot take ANY leftovers home if you buy AYCE. I think you get a free drink with a large order too. To not waste food...and if I was the owner/manager I'd make a rule that if you bought AYCE but still only got one bowl/plate of food then you can take your leftovers home. Or maybe charge $5 for a to-go box but you can only buy one additional to-go box with every AYCE purchase. Seeing all the food go to waste made me sad.

    Decent Chinese Food is hard to find. Back in the day Chopsticks across the street was good, then…read morenew owners took over the prices went up, portions went down and the quality of what was served declined. Sans Woks did some things very well and other not as good, but as long as you stuck with the items you like, it was an overall solid spot. New owners took over about 18 months ago and I was excited, they claimed to keep the old recipes, while adding more items to the menu. On my first visit the portion was generous and the flavor was OK. The Hot and Sour was not the same, but I liked the Orange Chicken more. However, as I returned, portions got smaller, flavor got weaker and the chef ignored my requests for more heat and more seasoning. The last couple visits the food was flat out terrible and I now refuse to return. Unless they make significant changes, I don't see them remaining open. It's a slap in the face to the name, if you are not going to honor the original restaurant, CHANGE YOUR NAME.

    If you are a local to the area then you know San Wok Express really was the best chinese in town…read more With friendly owners, the happy and giddy welcome and goodbyes as you come and go. That is no more. Sadly after going back recently I realized these are new owners and no longer the San Wok we are used to. Food was decent, but I could tell the difference especially with the orange chicken which was always a hit. Food overall is good for chinese, but doesn't wow me like before. New improvements inside, the restaurant now has dine in, and new decor, but prices have an increased, and ultimately just feels like another chinese restaurant in the area.
