The hakka pork belly is always a nice treat to have in a blue moon. It's a shame that the place is relatively empty, but luckily they had the AC on this is a hot Tuesday afternoon. While I think prices reflects the current economic inflationary condition of the SGV area. Everyone and their grandmothers are increasing costs, some places more than others. Phoenix is somewhere in the middle of the pack, but at $17 dollars for a bento sized portion, it is definitely not exactly inexpensive as it was back in the day of pre-covid. Come here for the desserts though. read more

Ordered UberEats since there's a BOGO deal for their Assorted Mochi! It's usually $8 for 4 pieces but $8 for 8 pieces?! What a DEAL! There were 4 flavors - mango, red bean, sesame, and taro! The mochi was so soft and fresh! I couldn't finish them all in one day and saved some for the next day and it still tasted so delicious! The taro was my favorite because it was stuffed with plenty of real taro! It wasn't too sweet and tasted so good! The mango was quite sour but would have been more enjoyable if it was sweet. The red bean was good since the filling was full of red bean. The sesame was so yummy! It wasn't too sweet and was definitely my second favorite. Overall, I really enjoyed the mochi and would definitely recommend! read more

I have to take it down a notch. My usual go to which is the steamed fish has changed a they changed the fish and it tastes terrible. Before it was a mild tasting white fish but this time it tastes like catfish- fishy and muddy. I ate two fillets to make sure and I couldn't eat the rest. I didn't even take it to go. I told them and asked if they changed the dish and they did. Honestly changing the protein to a completely different tasting one is in poor taste. Nothing is worse biting into your favorite dish and having it taste really, really bad. I'm giving this place a break and I won't come back in a while because of this. I will be back, but if you get the steamed fish ask if it's the new fish bc it was actually so gross. They didn't even offer to take it off (since I barely ate it) or discount or something else. It's a sad day for my food hyperfixation. I have to find something else now. Perhaps the other locations have the same fish as before. read more

I came in the afternoon and there weren't a lot of people. They have a lot of tables inside and a few outside. I got the mixed fruit delight and I was hoping that there would be more fruit in it for the price. It was mostly coconut milk. Not saying that it tasted bad I was just hoping for more for the price. read more

My first time at the Temple City Phoenix Kitchen location after the San Gabriel one closed, and I was so happy with the experience. Ping was an amazing server, so kind, welcoming, attentive, and full of great recommendations. We ordered the minced chicken with seaweed and fried egg, Thai flavor seafood soup, noodle soup with pork, beef king pao, and sticky rice, and everything was absolutely delicious. The portions are definitely worth the price, and the lemon iced tea was so refreshing. The ambiance also made the meal even better. There was plenty of seating, the benches and chairs were comfortable, and the music was kept at a low enough volume to easily enjoy conversation during the meal. For my birthday, Ping brought us a bubble waffle, which was such a sweet surprise and so good. It was a wonderful experience from start to finish, and I will definitely be back! read more

Phoenix Kitchen - Bubble Waffle - Chinese Near Me - Temple City, California

Honestly this place hasn't changed much from 10+ years ago! Coming here for their food is pretty mediocre. I tried their crunchy chicken fried rice bowl and beef and rice dish and while the beef was good, the chicken dish was practically flavorless and tasted as if you were just eating straight up gluten. The place is definitely better for a quick grab and go of their purple rice jellies or tapioca drinks! Also, there is no ac or wifi and their service in the area isn't great. Not a great place to do study/do work. read more

I love coming by to get their coconut milk drinks. It is so refreshing especially with fruit bits inside (mango and melon). I usually go to buy multiple drinks and the ladies are nice enough to make sure i can carry it and give a bag to make sure i dont spill it! Great service and great drinks! I will have to try their food soon. Definitely coming back. read more

Get ready to ask why you didn't tip when ordering. I'll tip when I finish my meal there. Also get ready to have them come up to you during the meal with your receipt and asked why you didn't tip too. lol. Food is good. Comes out fast. Chicken wings are great. I ended up tipping bc they did a good job of bringing water and cleaning up. Tipping culture is out of control. read more

I love how close this is to home, and I've never had any issues ordering from here. Staff is always friendly and this location seems cleaner and new. There is street parking and also parking out towards the back. I usually order through their Phoenix app, and that process seems to work best for me. Food comes out fresh and the portion size is reasonable. I typically order: Hong Kong Style Beef Stir Fried Chow Fun which is really good compared to the ones I've tried at other Asian restaurants. They give you a good amount of beef for the amount of noodles given. Scrambled eggs w/ Shrimp - Always such a hit and feels like home everytime I have it. Desserts here are really good. I always get the Mango Pomelo Sago w/ Silken Tofu. It's super refreshing and I love the taste of pomelo in the tofu. You can also never go wrong with their mixed tapioca drink. It tastes healthy with tons of fruit. All highly rated items IMO. Enjoy! read more

solid Cantonese dishes that has been consistent of the many years Phoenix has been around and this location is no exception. our family frequents this location on occasion, particularly getting take out since the location is so convenient. ordering on the app is a breeze but I wish they spent more time with the item descriptions, especially for customers new to their menu or when wanting to try something new. i love their cold chicken entree that comes with glutinous rice and their specialty sago drinks! when ordering to go, their entrees are always are packed to the brim and piping hot. super friendly and efficient staff! i recommend this location over arcadia just because there's more tables. ps. get the app and enjoy a free bday drink :) read more

I would rate this place a solid 3.5/5 stars. It's nearby, solid food, decent price, good desserts and lots of options to pick from. It's good for those nights you don't feel like making dinner. We order take-out from here pretty often. It's easy enough to pull right up to the curb, park, run in and grab your food. Some good drink choices: Tropical Fruit Iced Tea Kumquat & Honey juice Some good food choices that you can't really go wrong with: Spicy Salt Wings Braised Pork Belly Mongolian Beef Buddha's plate (for the greens) Can't go wrong with the fried rice dishes Hong Kong Rice Noodles with Beef is a standard here Diced Salted Pork (or Roast Duck) & Preserved Egg Congee; must get the Chinese donut with this (great for hangovers, colds, comfort food basically) Some good dessert choices: Durian rolls (if you're a Durian lover like my husband) Any of the Mango Puddings I've had sago here before too that was good, but I don't currently see it on the menu Just make sure you place the order with them directly on the phone or on their website to get the fairest price! read more

Good food with available hot desserts, quick and friendly service, great ambiance, clean surroundings

Great service!! I'm giving them five stars for their most delicious foods ever!!! The menu prices are reasonable as well!!! I definitely will come back over there again in Temple City, California when I get the chance to!!!! Five stars is exactly my total rating!!!!! Thank you guys so much for everything!!!!!! =^_^= read more

This is my favorite Phoenix Food Boutique location to order Chinese food & dessert. The dishes are not that heavy in seasoning and oil, which is how my family and I like (we normally ask for less oil in our food orders since nowadays many dishes come out too greasy or salty). I always order the Yeung Chow Fried Rice, Spicy Salt Chicken Wings, Shrimp with Glazed Walnuts, and Coconut & Mango Rolls! (: read more

Haha my dad wanted to order the entire menu to try everything. Warning! Don't bring your parents who are usually cooped up in the house. Or keep them under control lol..... We ended up trying all the stuff on their popular menu and it was delicious. The bill wasn't very delicious but seeing my parents happy was worth it. read more

I come to the Temple City location very often. Food and service are both excellent should be 5 star. I only give 3 star for this review because there is super hot and almost no air conditioning during summer when you dine in. I think the restaurant deserves a 5 star if the owner can fix the air conditioning issue. read more

Came back to order same dish last time - Hong Kong beef chow fun, but it was a disaster; It tastes so bad that I do not know how to describe it. I should have for my money back. Another one drop from my list. read more

Our favorite location to have desserts in the SGV area. Went to other locations and it's not the same. Our favorite is the Durian Lovers dessert. Filled with sweet black sticky rice, coconut jelly strips, purée durian and sliced durian top it off with coconut milk. The second favorite is the black sesame desert, served warm. Basic dining area. They have a nice patio seating for both Summer and Winter seating seasons. read more

3.5 stars. It's a solid meal, nothing to really complain about. Also nothing super exceptional. Sometimes you just want some Chinese food with a good portion size, and you can't really go wrong if you come here. The service was about what you would expect from a Chinese restaurant. Don't really have much to comment other than it's pretty mid. I don't think it's a 4 star place but I don't feel like their food warrants 3 stars. read more

I tried giving this place another chance but last night was the last time I'll be ordering from here. Their yung chow fried was disgusting! The pork sausage tasted old and the rice was hard. The beef with chow fun noodles was gross too. It tasted as if it was cooked with dirty oil. Their food doesn't taste fresh anymore. I keep wanting for it to be good because it's so convenient but everytime it disappoints. It was a good run! I'll probably just come for their tapioca drink. read more

We been here many times and this is probably one of the many times where they don't have a lot of servers so the service was quite disappointing because when we're ready to order they make us wait like 15 mins before noticing that we're ready. I feel like there should be more workers especially for a restaurant but no there was only 2 workers which is most definitely not enough. The only thing the workers pretty much do is deal with cleaning up the dirty tables and then disappear for however long. I always crave the Chinese sausage fried rice and this place make it pretty good and really fresh which plays a big factor. We also do like the beef chow fun but last time the cook don't listen to the order right and put an ingredient we didn't want in the dish... I just wish the cooks would look over the order before sending it for the workers to bring to us. The only positive thing i have to say about this place is that the food is freshly made! read more

I LOVEEEE the mango delight drink. Sometimes I go there just for that drink fr. Try it try it try it. I've tried the mixed fruit one and the coconut one but in my opinion the mango one is the best. They're all good tho, but this one takes the cake fr. read more

I was quite disappointed with our food. We came here for dessert and although they had a lot of food options, their food wasn't very impressive. The arctic surf clams with chili oil was gross. Their purple rice with coconut milk was okay. There are much better food options around the area. read more

Seems like a relatively newer location as the interior is clean and somewhat modern looking. The service is pretty nonchalant, but flag down just about whoever and they come right over without any fuss. Also unique to this location is that it has parking spaces behind the restaurant, but it's kind of a pain to pull into/out of. Anyhow for food here, we shared some lettuce wraps, fried squid with spicy salt, an order of hainan chicken, string beans Szechuan style, and a chicken noodle soup. Everything was pretty good, I think the only thing I didn't enjoy as much as I normally do was the string beans. Tasted like they didn't make it right and not nearly as tasty as some of others I've had in the past. Aside from that, I think it's good for the price point and all the other dishes were solid to satisfy any Chinese food craving. That's all I got on this one. 'Til next time, cheers! read more

"You gotta try this place out!" My foodhound cousin blurted out as we were driving through Temple City. So we stopped here to order our lunch. Why not? Variety is the spice of life. As it turned out my cousin ordered some tasty dishes like Penang Char Char Teow and Sliced Prime Rib w/Korean BBQ sauce. And we got ourselves a couple of Mixed Fruits Tapioca beverages to go. Now the Penang Char Char Teow is basically Malaysian stir fried noodles with shrimp and Chinese sausage which I must say is really a form of comfort food for me. Very tasty and elegant in it's messy simplicity. The Sliced Prime Rib w/Korean BBQ sauce is the bomb with white rice which always compliment the meat. Very savory in a salty-sweet kind of way. And the Mixed Fruits Tapioca beverage was awesome with that milky coconut flavor, various chopped melons, and tapioca of course. Enjoyed it! Overall I had great lunch experience and would look forward to another culinary adventure! read more

The food was tasty, reasonably priced and the portions were fair. I would definitely order from them again.

Modern look, delicious Chinese food. I came here with a large party which is always a plus in my book because I get to eat (try) everyone's dish. The favorites of the night with the pork belly rice, tomato/beef fried noodles, and the sweet/sour pork. The slices of prime rib with egg looked really good in the picture but was just okay in real life. The pork belly rice looked really good in the picture, came out not looking like the picture, but tasted SO GOOD so the presentation didn't really matter. Hainan chicken was okay, the rice that came with it was so good!! PARKING: street parking up front or use the lot in the back. read more

My favorite is their coconut milk drink with mixed fruits, Hakka style braised pork belly, and string beans. My favorite desserts are the black sticky rice with young coconut, durian roll, and coconut jelly. I have never been disappointed with their food items.

Good Canto classic dishes, and especially like the crispy chicken wings. Always enjoy their desserts such as mango sago almond pudding.

Craving for a cold mung bean & seaweed dessert but ended up with a few mung beans and 3 strand of seaweed after paying $3.95 plus tax. It looks like a left over dessert and they just sell it anyway. Very disappointed! read more

Ordered three mixed fruit tapioca(one without tapioca). Usually go to another Arizona Phoenix and they said I can order it without tapioca and is what I usually get. I only speak english but I can understand cantonese. The man who made my drink was talking about us while we were right there watching him make our drinks. "why did they order a no tapioca for a tapioca drink? Really? Are they serious? I Might as well make all of them no tapioca." In a really rude tone. And went on and on as the cashier girl laughed. I was really sad and upset. I called them 10 minutes later to inform him we understood everything he said and it was really rude. He said it was because they can't make it without tapioca. I told him If he had told us that I would've just gotten all tapioca no big deal. Very sorry for long rant. Was really disappointed about customer service...at least wait until we left to say something. There was no other customers. read more

My family and I didn't know where to eat for dinner - there's 13 of us so we needed a place that had enough seats. My sis and her husband live near Phoenix Kitchen and had been before. It's pretty much like Phoenix Cafe but with more of a food selection. So we got there and they set up some tables outside. I got one of those fruit drinks which was popular with the kids. We ordered a variety of dishes which included fried rice, green beans, orange fish, chow fun and chow mein, as well as udon. Food came out pretty fast and overall was tasty. I wouldn't say anything was exceptionally delicious but all pretty decent. Service was decent but like the food, not exceptional. I like this place, it's maybe one notch slightly lower than a Tasty Garden. read more

The food is too mediocre for the price it's at. However, I do appreciate that it is open late since I have to eat late dinners a lot. FOOD - XO Seafood Stir Fried Udon: hit or miss. I've had it when it was really good and pretty bad. It's pretty good when it's actually made well. - Garlic Fried Chicken: not great, but I still order it when I'm really craving wings cause I'm just that weak for wings. usually too undercooked for my taste so ask for it extra crispy. read more
