The food is excellent and the prices are as well. The portions of food are extremely generous. We usually go for lunch and they have a large lunch menu with specials at very reasonable prices. Included with lunch are fried noodles for dipping in sweet and sour sauce, delicious soup, your choice of white or fried rice, entree, hot tea, and two different kinds of cookies per person. We always bring enough home for a second meal. For dinner the portions are doubled or maybe even tripled. The servers (the owner and his friend) are especially genial. I would highly recommend Golden Phoenix to everyone. read more

Golden Phoenix - 134. Shrimp Fried Rice 10/10 this my plate. Large serves 2 1/2 people. Fried Shrimp large order 10/10 so bomb. - Chinese Near Me - Lakewood, California

My mom wanted Chinese food for her birthday dinner. We only knew about this place due to social media. We decided to try it out as we normally go to the same one or two places. It's in a small strip mall and doesn't look like much from the outside. Not very big inside. Fortunately we arrived early as it continued to get busier while we were there... We got the "family deal" which was $18.50 per person and that included 1 entree each, soup, 1 egg roll, 2 fried shrimp and fried rice. We also added an order of chow mein. It was a LOT of food. We had a ton of leftovers. It'll probably get us another 1-2 meals each! I thought that was a great deal. My mom enjoyed it a lot (which was the goal and what mattered!). My husband and daughter enjoyed it as well. I'm not super into Chinese food but thought it was fine. (I actually prefer leftover cold Chinese food). One thing that stood out and I really liked was that they serve a plate of crunchy chow mein noodles to start. I haven't seen that in quite some time. We like dipping them in sweet and sour sauce; although I didn't care that much for theirs, it was very runny, I like a thicker consistency. read more

Golden Phoenix - Good lunch specials - Chinese Near Me - Lakewood, California

been going to this place for easily more than 15 years. hands down the best american chinese food in the area. used to only do to go but my parents started going inside and we have enjoyed it even more! usually get the orange chicken, beef and broccoli but also enjoy the fried calamari along with orange tofu. can't go wrong with any of the noodle dishes I have tried so far. service is great! since we have been coming for so long the people working there know us. I have two boys now and always treaded as though they are the most important people dining with us. have a bunch of round tables and booths also so it feels like a combination of home and restaurant look. read more

We had the cashew chicken, beef with mixed vegetables, and the chicken chop suey. Everything was served hot, fresh, and all the veggies were cooked perfectly. Nice size restaurant, friendly service, and super clean restrooms. I was so hungry I forgot to take pictures. But we will be back soon! read more

This place is always good. They have a good selection of everything. We order family style and typically get: beef broccoli, orange chicken, orange tofu, cashew chicken, and honey walnut shrimp.

Alright! the food was okay i'd like to say but lacked some flavor. We had the pork chop and Crispy Noodles. The noodles had a too orangey flavor and sour aftertaste which wasn't settling.. the pork chops were a little soggy and soft wasn't too crispy. the restaurant it's self was not that's clean the condiments that was on the table wasn't clean it was crusty and sticky. There was rust on the windows, Food containers stacked up in the main dining area, dishes weren't being washed there was trash a used dishes in a rack waiting to washed eventually was washed but it looked like it was there for a while and was visible to the dining area, there were also serving soup in a pit but in a cardboard box it was weird...Overall though the men in the restaurant were nice and have okay service they were nice! read more

I love this spot!! It's quick, convenient, and the food never disappoints. It's also very nicely priced. Additionally, we always Door Dash and the delivery people are so incredibly kind. This is our go-to especially when I feel under-the-weather and want war wonton soup! read more

We have been having food delivered for many years. The last 3 orders were nowhere near what their food use to be. The last time I tried to get a refund, the one and only time, they told me to return the food and order something else. Tonight was the worst. I have had better steamed dumplings from the frozen section. The BBQ pork fried rice was so dark, it was almost black. The only redeeming thing was the cream cheese wontons. I know prices are high and food quality has gone down, but after paying $60 plus tip, we are done. read more

Favorite Chinese food in the Long Beach area -- and we've only had takeout! We will eat there one day, but I love that you can order online for pickup. The Phoenix Chicken is a must (we call it "orange chicken but better") and the green bean stir fry is so good with the perfect crunch. The Broccoli Beef is also on our list to try. read more

Good portion and very delicious will come back..was also affordable staff is very kind and helpful to pick food out

I'm happy I discovered Golden Phoenix. I ordered take out and the food came quick and still tasted fresh. I tried the salt and pepper shrimp, salt and pepper squid, and the wonton soup. The salt and pepper shrimp was super good and one of the best things I've eaten. The flavors and the crispiness and the tenderness of the shrimp made this dish amazing. The salt and pepper squid was decent too and what I would expect. The wonton soup came piping hot even with take out, but I wish there was more wontons. Overall, the food was good and I would order takeout from them again and eventually I'll go to their restaurant in person and try other dishes too. read more

This is a hidden gem in the city of Lakewood. Food is made fresh and price isn't bad, considering everything is expensive these days. This location has about 6-8 tables and it's your typical Chinese place with nobody speaks the language and everyone is kinda rude- which makes it a good location. read more

Food is ALWAYS FRESH && HOT! Food here is always very tasty as well. You also get huge portions

Little gem hidden !!! I used to drive to Hawthorne for good Chinese food but this exceeds it . The gentleman here are always nice and the is always great . read more

Definitely American Chinese. They had all the dishes that were American Chinese or Chinese inspired dishes created in America. The food was tasty and the staff was pleasant and accommodating. It definitely reminded me my visit many years ago to the now closed Mings in Bellflower. read more

I picked up a lunch combo on a Friday afternoon. Kung Pao Beef with egg roll, fried rice and an egg roll. I was a little nervous as there were some pretty bad reviews here and there. I was, however, pleasantly surprised. Firstly, the service was great! I was warmly welcomed and offered a menu and a table to sit at while I made my selection. When I got back to my office, the food was overall excellent. Details: The Kung Pao beef was delicious! The beef was tender, the vegetables fresh and crisp-tender. The sauce was flavorful with the perfect amount of spice. The fried rice was delicious and savory as well. The egg roll was crispy, the filling was just okay. A little mushy, but I have found that is more common than not with Chinese restaurants these days. The egg flower soup was okay, but lacked flavor - rather bland. Overall, this was a great experience for the price. As it's near my workplace, I'll be returning on a regular basis. It's above par for the area. Next time I'll probably eat in, as the staff were so welcoming. read more

Love it! American Chinese is the best! Killer moo shoo pork! All the food we got was amazing Everyone go! read more

Tried Golden Phoenix and the food was really good! Everything tasted fresh and flavorful. Definitely coming back again!

Why is this place closed !!??!! The food here was always fresh and tasty. I tried to order but they are not taking orders.

Tried this place on the suggestion of someone who's been coming here with their family for years. First off I love a Chinese restaurant that serves complementary hot tea with your meal. This place offers that old school, American Chinese diner vibe when you walk in. The weight staff is efficient and to the point, which I appreciate. The hot and sour soup had a good depth of flavor. It's a lot better than some that I've had at other places. The Mongolian beef had that good smoky wok cooked flavor that I love. Both the Mongolian beef and Szechuan chicken had good crispy vegetables fresh not overcooked and the dishes were not over sauced. The fried rice was pretty basic, but I'm OK with that. It was the perfect base to complement the sauce of the dishes that it accompanied the family style meal, which is $18.50 per person and each person chooses an entrée. There was two of us. We got two entrées and the meal comes with fried shrimp, eggrolls, fried rice, and an entrée and our total bill was $40 after taxes we left a 20% tip and there was enough food that we are eating our leftovers for lunch today and may still have a little bit left over. This is a great value for the price especially for how fresh the food is and that it's made to order we will definitely be back. This will definitely be one of our regular go to spots from now on. read more

Golden Phoenix - Chicken with broccoli - Chinese Near Me - Lakewood, California

The absolute worst Chinese food I've ever had! The food was dry, unseasoned, and the fried rice wasn't "fried." It tasted like day old white rice mixed with soy sauce and veggies. The veggies were almost raw- severely undercooked. The chicken egg rolls didn't have any seasoning or taste. I don't like to leave poor reviews, but this food was awful. Almost like eating cardboard. I honestly believe they rush through the cooking process. UGHHH read more

Golden Phoenix - Cardboard BBQ Pork Fried Rice and a Chicken Egg roll - Chinese Near Me - Lakewood, California

I really wanted to like it. When I opened the container to my egg foo young egg it looked really promising, but I have to say that was the worst I have had in my life! It was literally like a hard thick flour pan cake and the gravy was so salty! I used to order this dish from my local Chinese spot until they retired and it was so light and fluffy! I'm giving them three stars because my daughter ordered fried rice and the crispy noodles and enjoyed. There are too many other Chinese restaurants to give them a second chance. read more

This is really a nice restaurant with authentic food...I don't care for fusion retaurants...

Food and service were great. We were sat very quickly and didn't have to wait long for our food even though they were busy.

OK, I initially put 4 stars, and then dropped it to 3, because I actually can't remember the food (this review is a few weeks old). Looking back at the pictures, I have vague inklings coming back to me. Vegetarian review: - string beans: kind of bland. I think that's pretty much it. - Fried tofu: not crispy. It could be because this was a to-go order, but really chewy and, uh, gloopy? Is that the right word? The exterior wasn't pleasant and yes, also bland. Not salty, not peppery. - Kung Pow tofu: also bland. Not tasty, and not fulfilling. You get a fair amount of food, but I think that's about it. read more

#1 Chinese spot in the area. Great quality food. We usually go with the honey walnut shrimp, beef n broccoli, and some cream cheese wontons. Salt n pepper pork chops are tasty. If you like mushrooms you can add to the beef n broccoli, bomb. Honestly everything is good here, they don't miss. read more

We ordered a very good Mu Shu Pork that was so tender. I ordered a beef broccoli bowl but will save it for tomorrow. The beef was kinda tough. Maybe I'll get pork next time. Yum read more

Nothing but 10's on the board for this place. I love their food its authentic, not like the food chains you can tell the difference. The honey walnut shrimp is number 1. The broccoli beef, orange chicken the soups the wontons just amazing. I've never had a bad experience with the food & I am a regular. Got to try more things on the menu will definitely keep coming back, if you haven't tried this place dont wait any longer :) read more

What a find! Absolutely wonderful! First the service was top notch and the servers were very attentive. Crispy noodles, hot tea, egg flower soup to start. Then crispy orange chicken, house chow fun, fried rice. Finished with more tea and cookies. Dinner for 3 to 4 about $31. Have to add. The best orange chicken I've ever had. The glaze on the chicken was perfect. House chow fun with fat noodles, chicken, shrimp and beef fantastic. Everyone in there was quiet because they were eating and the place was packed, every table. It's a "must try" small business, so give this place a try. My first time there and now my only Chinese restaurant of choice. read more

Good portions but food had no real taste. The current rating on their window is a B which should have been a red flag. Service was good just food was more like a 2 out of 5. Not sure why this is a 4 but my guess is the service. Why is it so hard to find great Chinese and people just settle for mediocre. read more

Was in the area and came in for the lunch special. Cute little place and was bustling at lunchtime, only one table free. Friendly and prompt staff. I went with the sweet and sour shrimp lunch special. Egg drop soup was tasty and fresh, sweet and sour shrimp was crispy and very large portion. Only $12 dollars is near unheard of in the LA area. Highly recommend for Americanized Chinese food! Will be back. read more
