I've lived in the valley most my life, had always passed this place by... figured, after the fires kept it in tact, it's high time I give them a try- & on the Lunar New Year no less! The place was practically empty- white everything with black diner seats & red/floral decorations on the walls. Long, narrow passage- greeted with delayed warmth from a boisterous lady. She recommended "more bang for your buck" combinations, so I'll hafta try the ala carte entrees later. I got the crab puffs (8 for $10.25)- they were fun! Triangles vs those 'purses'. Classic krab & cream cheese, but also has diced onion! A note of freshness & packed to the gills! And the egg flower soup ('small' bowl for $6)- simple, pretty straightforward... not enough salt, so shoyu helped. Some corn, pretty sure that's why it was so thick. The #15 ($15.50) came with pork fried rice, mar far chicken & moo goo gai pan... they did not come to play! The fried rice was a little overpowered by green onion, but that's where their pink sauce really came in handy- talk about balance! Their mar far wasn't little nuggets- they were like a breast, battered & fried, THEN cut into strips! So filling! And the moo goo gai pan was refreshing- big slices of carrot, onion, cabbage, mushrooms & broccoli with slices of chicken. Heartwarming, really. With hot tea (one pot for $1?!) & a fortune cookie, came to $32.75. With tip, overall total sat at just under $40. I'm glad I stopped in- this really was a phoenix rising from the proverbial ashes; Phoenix needs a win after Alameda & this place is helping keep them strong. Highly recommend read more

Well I don't know how they pass the food inspection it's quit disgusting and very dirty I honestly know how folks dine in there don't think it's ever been cleaned the restrooms are dirty . The lady is also rude and the place is falling apart . read more

It's a-ok. Ordered the Combination #7: Pork Fried Rice and Mar Far Chicken based on anther yelpers review. I'm sad. I think it must have been a friend of the owner or something. Mar Far Chicken contains NO VEGETABLES. It is deep fried chicken breast (least flavorful of the proteins) cut into sections. I appreciated that they served the "pink sauce" in a separate container so that it didn't get soggy on the road. Pork fried rice is a hearty portion, not greasy, fairly neutral flavor. They no longer sell won ton soup. That's too bad because I read that theirs was really tasty. ALL of their prices have gone up in the last 4 months; I added updated menu photos. read more

Comforting American Chinese foods. Low sodium, no MSG. May need to salt yourself as needed. The locally made sweet & sour sauce is so flavorful. Great neighborhood Chinese restaurant with classical vibe since 2002. Had nice chat with the casher, probably the owner. Hope this legacy keeps going. read more

The woman who seated us in the empty dining room at 5:30 pm on a Sunday evening immediately leaned over the back of our booth and reached through the mini blinds with her bare fingers and began grabbing live flies. She grabbed 4-5 before we got up and walked out. This is easily the most gross thing I have seen a food service worker do in front of customers. No telling what she would do when customers are not looking. We did not even order much less eat here so I cannot comment on the tastiness of the cuisine. read more

Wow, I love this place! All the sauces are made in house. She makes a killer pink sauce. I've been there about four times in the past two weeks. If I lived in this area, I would eat there all the time. Three times I've gotten it to go and the last time I ate there, she took great care of us. Great service and felt like I belonged to the family. The Mar-far chicken is a must try. I also enjoyed the egg roll, pork fried rice, fried shrimp and the house hot mustard. I'm from Kentucky and I travel all over and this is one of my favorite Chinese places ever. read more

My family has been buying takeout here every couple of months for over 6 years. They have consistently good quality food, fair prices, and a quick turnaround on takeout. We've never had any issues with our orders or the food. I gave it 4 stars because after they shut down the dining area during Covid, it has turned into a storage area. The dine-in atmosphere is not what we're here for, so the food and service is a solid 4. read more

My son and I went inside during Halloween. And I was worried at first. We are new to the area and haven't had any good luck with Chinese food. I looked around and noticed that the walls were clean, even the ceiling had no dust. Something rare for the rogue. Most places are so dirty. I felt comfortable to eat inside. So we sat down and ordered orange chicken and chicken stir fry rice. And I have to tell you. It was the best Chinese food I've ever had. I'm surprised it wasn't busier. read more

I drove by this place many times. I should have kept driving. The smell of rancid grease meets you at the door. Oregonians seem to think this is a good sign. It is not. Old grease is not a plus. And they are using it, not just smelling up the place with it. The food was mediocre but some things were just awful. The egg rolls were dry and tasteless except for that grease! The lo mein was limp and not much sauce. We threw away most of it. I can't imagine people ever returning here. It blows me away to read superlative reviews. Have you never eaten at a renown Chinese restaurant? Wow! read more

I've head about Kim's Chinese food Mar Far Chicken since moving to the area. Tried other places - all batter & small pieces of chicken. ***Golden Phoenix is cooking Kim's recipe - big juicy chunks of white meat chicken with a thin tasty batter and Kim's Pink Sauce!!! So good!! You can actually see pork in the pork fried rice. The potstickers are made fresh and so good. Just know - it's a husband and wife only running the restaurant and cooking as you order. They work 7 days a week only taking off two half days. Be kind - it's worth it!!! We will be back!!! read more

Golden Phoenix Chinese Restaurant - Mar Far Chicken, pork fried rice & fried shrimp - Chinese Near Me - Phoenix, Oregon

I just left, with a full belly of deliciousness! The Far Mar Chicken was next level. I've never had breaded chicken from a Chinese place like this. Normally the breading is almost soggy. Their Far Mar chicken was crispy and the chicken was juicy! And I got more than a breasts worth. Mixed with a little sweet and sour pink sauce and hot mustard.. HOOWEE!! I got a combo of Far Mar chicken, can't remember the pork dish but it was chock full of vegetables a delicious sauce and topped with peanuts. And on the side was pork fried rice. I was thoroughly impressed and satiated. And Jenny was an absolute doll. Very warm and friendly. It's just her and her husband and they obviously care about what they serve. If you're ever in Phoenix and have a hankering for some Chinese food you won't be disappointed! I would have posted a picture, but it was too good to care about my phone.. read more

We ordered the happy family dinner for 4, added mar far chicken. Everything was great but the crab meat puffs, mostly onion and cream cheese. Would definitely return again for dinner. read more

It was ok. The pot stickers were really good and the sauce was as well. The restaurant itself has no atmosphere at all. And in the back you can see all their boxes and storage area. Very bland looking. Food was ok nothing OMG crazy I have to have this again. We were there for a total of 20 minutes and that was that. Probably won't be back. Food with drinks was around $31 so not bad. Portions of food was OK. Service was good the waitress was friendly and nice read more

Apparently their chicken chow mein doesn't come with any noodles just cooked lettuce pretty disgusting. I always thought chicken chow mein came with noodles anyways I asked them to fix it. Apparently this is how it comes and there's nothing I can do about it. Not at all what I thought I was ordering every chicken chow mein I've ever had was way different than this. Oh well lesson learned I won't come back. read more

I just moved to Oregon from California and the food here was delicious. Asian cuisine varies by region so I like whole red chiles in my Asian dishes but this place does not lack flavor. I had the sweet and sour pork, Szechuan beef, and Kung Pao chicken, all three dishes were yummy. read more

I recently giggled as I read reviews on a popular city group, they mentioned every Chinese restaurant in town except this one. Stop reading, and order now. There is NOOOO better Chinese food between Sacramento and Eugene, then Golden Phoenix. Hands down, no discussion needed. read more

I've heard about this place for years and finally had an opportunity to go. I have to say that the mar far chicken and fried shrimp with fried rice was very good...maybe the best I've had in a long time. Will probably even go back; however, you need to know that the building is old and the smell of "old grease", I assume, is a bit off putting when you first walk in. There is also a section in the back being used for storage. Kind of odd, to be honest. But, maybe COVID has influenced and/or affected the business, and maybe time has changed things for the very nice owner (we were assisted by the wife). If you're not super picky about atmosphere, I think you should try the food. read more

This is a favorite place to visit. They have good food other then the salt & pepper chicken. I recommend trying more food you won't be disappointed. The drinks slap, 1 of my regulars is "Sex on the bar." Along with this their staff are very pleasant. Love me some Phoenix read more

Tasteless. Even the sauces lacked flavor. Do NOT recommend. No seasoning, and textures were soggy.

Let's start with the smell of rancid oil that hits you when you walk in the door. I really wanted to like this place but the food was tasteless and heavy and I won't be back. We ordered 4 combination dinners. The spring rolls were double wrapped and fried so you could barely taste the inside for the taste of oily wrap. The orange chicken was thickly battered and oily and had a thick, pasty orange sauce, hard to eat. There was a lot of food, enough for two on each dinner. Just wish it tasted good. read more

OK, I have to say the food has completely changed since I posted my first review 5 years ago. I have been back 3 times to be sure it wasn't a fluke, that all of a sudden I love the food. BUT, would say they are now 5 stars for food quality and taste. Everything I get is incredible and that heavy oil taste is gone. I have told my co workers and friends to give this place a try and everyone agrees..... Its one of the best Asian places in this area, contends with Asian food in SF, so if your from the Bay Area....THIS is a place your going to want to keep the TO-GO menu in a safe place! read more

I ordered from Golden Phoenix on centennial pkwy 4/31 at 5:30 pm and an hour and a half later finally got ordered. Food wasn't even warm spent $62.00 for cold food YUCK. We had ordered once before it was ok we normally will give a restaurant 2nd try but this case was worse than the first so we will not be eating again. read more

Authentic Chinese food. As I child, my father took me to Chinatown on a regular basis. This place reminds me of the food we had during our outings. We order from Golden Phoenix on a regular basis and have never been disappointed. read more

American Chinese food done right. The minute you call in your order, it's ready by the time they end the call. Marfar chicken, crunchy noodle dish and fried rice are my favorite. They can cook here. I'm a regular. read more

I'm updating my review because the leftovers were significantly better after having time to flavor through. Still not the most flavorful Chinese I've ever had but passable at least. read more

They had two visible signs up claiming No MSG. I got the Happy Family meal for four to go. It includes: Sweet and sour pork. The pork was dry, with a thick dry fried batter on it. It was drenched in a very sweet sauce. Mar Far Chicken. Crust was good, chicken a little dry. Chicken chow mein. I've never seen chow mein with dark noodles, but it was delicious nonetheless. Pork fried rice. Dry all around. Fried shrimp. Dry batter, over fried shrimp. Spring roll. Fried perfectly with tempura on both ends. Mashed potato texture inside. Ick. THE PINK SAUCE...... need I say more? I'll try again, maybe during a busier time when the food is fresher. UPDATE: I am doubting their signs claiming "No MSG". MSG is a migraine trigger for me and I woke up with one this morning. read more

Called for takeout. Service was great, food was ready when I arrived. My order, the Happy Family, was on point and the scallops were really good. Didn't taste old and frozen like a lot of other places. "mom & pop" were really nice. Great place! read more

Best Chinese food in the Rogue Valley, period. The General Tso's Pork and Gooden Phoenix Fried Rice are my favorites!

I have driven by this little spot many times over the past few years. Yesterday I decided to stop in for some take out. I wish I wouldn't have waited so long to give them a try. I had one of their specials with Chicken Chow Mein, Pork Fried Rice and Mar Far Chicken. It was all fresh and delicious, the Chow Mein was full of veggies vs noodles, very good stuff. Rice was full of flavor as well, first time I have had Mar Far Chicken this way but again it was very tasty. The Gentlemen that took my order was very friendly as we chatted a bit while I waited for my order. I am headed back again tonight, this time to try their Kung Pao Chicken. read more

This is a no star place. Ants in our food. We called back to let her know that's the food that they were making had several ants in it...she didn't believe us and we came back down and showed her and she kept saying it wasn't. We spent 200 dollars on all of the food. We went back knowing that we didn't want all the money back. She gave us 58 back and that's fine. This Place is absolutely atrocious. No one eat here. Save your money spend it on a different place. read more

Absolutely Rude ( assuming owner). I made a call in order and a item simply got missed. I called when I got home and the woman started yelling at me saying that it was my husband's faults. She would barley let me speak about the small problem and yet told me to "NEVER CALL AGAIN!". I tried to explain further and and she became outraged telling me that I don't understand how they do thing there?. Confused and upset I tried to ask another question and explain and she said "Have a good night, never call again, OK!" Lost not only my buissness but will definitely be passing on to others. I honestly don't know how this buissness is still there. read more

We're new to the area and have a hard time finding even slightly decent Chinese food. So glad we gave this place a try! The food is flavorful and so yummy. One of my favorite dishes is sweet and sour pork. Most places we've been the pork tends to be tough but not here. Every single piece was tender. The chow mein is perfect. This will be our go to place from now on. read more

I got yummy take out from here. A dinner combination of pork fried rice, General Gao's chicken and batter fried shrimp for less than $15! The husband and wife who ran the place were both very nice. read more

So very disappointed in this place. Very weird experience. I have never witnessed an owner run off customers until now. A party of 5 came in and they wanted only soup and rice. They told the owner they were not very hungry. She tells them they have to order more food if they were going to eat at her restaurant, she said the restaurant was too busy for them to take up the table and eat only rice and soup, so she had them leave. She was very short with them. Of course no one else came in to sit at that table, so she lost $$$ she could have made off the rice and soup. Also our table felt gritty and so did the squeeze bottle of pink sauce. Don't know if I'll go back in, I will order food to go. read more

We went for lunch and were the only ones in the restaurant. Food was okay, not great. Probably won't be back since we live in Central Point, too far to drive for a so-so lunch. read more
