Their Pho and spring rolls are good. I portion size for their sesame chicken is not worth the price. Eggs are ok, nothing special. If you like Pho noodles soup and spring rolls, then this is your place to go. read more

I had the Pho Dac Biet and my wife had the shrimp noodle dish (bun). We also had spring rolls. Everything was delicious and it's in St. Cloud!!! We normally drive 1.5 hours to St. Paul to get good Vietnamese food. Now that we've found this, this is the go to spot for us. Service was good. The staff was nice and got us all that we needed. It was quiet and clean there. I would highly recommend trying out their dishes!!! read more

Service was great, our waiter was really nice. The food was hot and fresh eventhough they had a few delivery/pick-up orders. Eggroll: The Eggroll looked good, but when taking a bite I felt like it was just a pork sausage wrapped in Eggroll paper. The sauce was also flavorless. It looked like it was just water with some veggies in it. 2/5 - taste Pho: The pho looked promising and smelled great! But the broth on its own, very flavorless. It tasted very watered down when it should taste more like a beef broth. Even the sauces and seasonings provided couldn't save the Pho. 2/5 - taste read more

Upon advice from friends, we are trying this place. Despite living in st cloud for over a decade we hadn't tried it. And we were seriously jonesing for some pho and viet noodle salads. I ordered pho with everything, and my wife ordered lemongrass noodle salad. Plus spring rolls for an app. It's definitely a hole in the wall, but the service is nice, pleasant and attentive. The ambiance is definitely 80 Chinese, very retro. While the pho isn't the best I have ever had ( c'mon folks, this ain't Bangkok) it is a good traditional pho. The broth is satisfying without overwhelming, and they do have all the extras like tendon that some places lack. The Spring rolls were also good with an interesting soy based sauce. My wife's chicken was also very good with just the right amount of snap to the spice. Overall I would recommend this almost hidden gem. . read more

Wow! I have been looking for a bon meh place since PhoV and VietTen closed. Don't be fooled by the strip mall facade. The best places are usually holes in the wall tiny spots. Excellent bon meh although I missed the pickled veggies. Noodle salad reminded me of San Francisco china town. The shrimp spring rolls were fresh and delicious! Yum yum yum! I am going back sometime this week for sure. read more

Great service the Vietnamese food is the best you'll get in town my favorite is the bahn mi with double meat and it's a great price

Awesome place to eat they have great spring rolls all around great place

Good egg rolls and potstickers Nothing was amazing, but not terrible either. Friendly service. I looked for Chinese places to eat on YELP and this restaurant popped up. I placed an order through the app that was GRUBHUB. It didn't ask for my credit card info at all. Just my email and phone number after placing my order. When I went to the restaurant to pick up my Togo order. It said it was already paid for... I didn't give any payment info out at all. But I had a charge on my bank for my food. Still very confused on what happened. I've never ordered food off YELP or GRUBHUB. So why they would have my credit card number is kind of scary. Going to do more research on this. read more

It was bad when I last had it ~3 years ago, decided to try and give it a second chance. Big mistake. Lo Mein noodles are just spaghetti noodles, wontons over cooked and tough, rice was undercooked and crunchy. I spent $60 for my partner and I and there isn't one decent thing here. Waste of time, waste of money, save yourself and eat at one of the other Chinese places in Cloud- literally PANDA EXPRESS is better read more

It's interesting how so many reviews for Chinese restaurants can vary from so poor to so good, depending upon one's particular tastes. I really wanted to rank this restaurant higher, but I was so turned off from my last experience there, I simply cannot. I ordered one of the daily specials, General Tso's chicken combo with fried rice and two cream cheese wontons. The food was freshly prepared; that I will say. Unfortunately, it lacked taste. There was no spice to the chicken. Both the chicken and the wontons were overdone. It came in a sauce that had some taste, a few sliced carrots and a couple sprigs of broccoli. The worst was then when I bit into the wonton, there was something hard left in my mouth. I fished out a small strip of clear plastic. I have no idea what it was from, and I don't want to know. All I know is that it was disgusting and completely ruined my experience at this restaurant. I was prepared to bring it up to the cashier, but as I walked up to the counter, two other patrons walked in, and I simply didn't want to ruin their experience and embarrass the owner in front of two other customers. I simply tossed it into the trash and left. I don't think I could bring myself to order from, or eat, here again. read more

I ordered delivery last night after reading some favorable reviews. Simple order, General Tso's chicken and 2 eggrolls. While the time to deliver was fine, the General Tso's can only be described as one of the worst things I've ever tasted. The sauce was an orange water (some spilled out as I removed it from the bag. Because of this, it had turned the crust to a soft mush that would fall off. I found some on the top that appeared to be edible/crispy. No sir. Just as bad and tasted *nothing* like what every other chinese restaurant refers to as this said type of chicken. All of it, in the trash. Eggrolls were mediocre at best. At least had a crispy shell but lacked any real flavor. Fortunately I ordered the sweet and sour sauce to soak them in so I at least had something to eat. The rice was probably the best part of the meal, which also had to be soaked in soy sauce (which I received 1 whole packet) in order to not come out of the box in one solid clump. That ended up being what I ate the most of just because I needed something to eat and didn't want to leave to pick something else up. Overall, insanely disappointing. Maybe I'm just unlucky or picked the worst meal they had. However, that's my experience. read more

This place is horrible for customer service! So my order was good other than the rice, and chicken & broccoli. The wanton soup was ok and my boyfriends order was good so we split that. When my roommate called to let them know about the food being gross for half of the order they tell me that they will come and get the food and refund it, but they never want us to order from them again. That is rude service and I did like some of their food just not my order. Maybe it was a bad cook, but the food was bland and I feel like they really should have better food and customer service. read more

Ordered delivery. It arrived at the exact minute quoted. Very affordable and huge portions, Order for 2 fed 4. The food was very good. The steamed rice was kinda like minute rice, but everything else was on point. Will definitely be ordering again very soon. read more

The Chinese Phoenix Express - Had already been eating this is about half of the order for 2. - Chinese Near Me - St Cloud, Minnesota

This restaurant is the successor to the Chinese Phoenix Buffet that closed down a number of years ago. Our family--immediate and extended--have been regulars at this restaurant during its days as a buffet and during its time as an express restaurant ever since I was a little child. The food is amazing, the price is a good value for the amount of food you receive and the staff is very friendly and family-oriented. It's beyond compare and absolutely worth your patronage!! read more

With a semi-buffet type of offerings, the food isn't as fresh as other places in the area. I ordered the sweet and sour chicken, and the chicken was a bit soggy, not crispy as it should be. The dining area is nice and pleasant, and the service is friendly. Pricing for the food quality is a bit high, but expected in a mall area (they are outside the mall) Previously, I had come about 30 minutes before their closing time, and found them closed. read more

What ever you do, pls don't come here to eat, save your money and eat somewhere alot better than this place! I order chicken fried rice with fried egg on top, the rice is under cook, it is hard. I'm Asian and I know what's good quality and bad. This place is HORRIBLE! I hope you guys get this msg! read more

I love this place! Huge selection and awesome hours. The moo shoo pork is amazing, and their hot and sour soup is just what it should be. I want to clarify that this is low to medium price food that delivers consistent and tasty food, perfect for work lunch or a midweek chinese fix. I took away a star because their front person can be a bit sassy and slow, but the waitresses and other staff are friendly and helpful. Also, I always order take out or dine in, but since I have notice that the food might take a while, I always call ahead 30 minutes before I want my food. I don't think I would try their delivery because they do charge quite a bit more for the service, but other than that their prices are reasonable and their proportions are satisfying. read more

Just ordered take out, and had friendly counter service for roughly $60. However, the order was wrong and I called to let them know. The manager/owner demanded that I bring it back for inspection. Okay. Just drove in 15 minutes one way and the now you want it back? Good luck with your shortsighted business, sir. read more

I am from North Dakota, and my mom recommended we go here since she liked the food she ordered from here last time. I ordered the General Tso's Chicken platter, and the chicken was okay -- soft, but still had a crunch to them. The rice had barely any taste, so I had to add sweet and sour sauce to it. The cream cheese wontons were pretty good, except the cream cheese was too chunky. Good price for what you get. I recommend this place because my mom said that there other dishes are fantastic. What I got isn't all that great, but it's edible. read more

I am appalled by my experience here. I placed a to go order and was a little surprised that my dinner was $10 which included NO drink, NO spring/egg roll, NO piece of broccoli, just plain rice and tofu. On top of feeling jipped, I got horrible service. Although I put a tip on my to go order, when I was asked if I would like soy sauce. I said yes, give me 6 packets, I use a lot of sauce. I was then told I could not have 6, only 4. I could not believe it. So I get back to my motel and my sesemie tofu didn't have any sauce on it. I took a bite and it was terrible. Its went in the trash. I have never been refused sauce before. What a horrible place. read more

One of the best places for Chinese food in St. Cloud. I ordered beef curry and it was delicious. Friendly staff and fast service.

Horrible! Ordered a simple chicken with garlic sauce. What did I get? Something that didn't even look like chicken drowned in a gravy that didn't even taste like anything mixed with uncooked vegetables. Never again!!! read more

The food it good. They have build plates most of the time which are a better price that ordering off the menu.

Ordered a substantial amount of food, they forgot some of my food and the only thing that was good was the fortune cookie, the one thing they didn't have to make. Absolutely awful tasting chicken.. and it was grey. Fried wontons were exceptionally dry, fried rice tasted like dirt and the egg rolls seemed to be not cooked thoroughly. They also got my name wrong AND my room number. I'm going to suggest you look for other options when ordering food to be delivered. read more

I love this place. I called ahead and my food was ready and hot. I would defiantly recommend this place to anyone.

Great food! Definitely the best place for Chinese in St. Cloud. I would recommended sitting down and ordering the food fresh. Chinese that is made to order is the way to go. read more

Okay, nothing special. I have been on a quest for some good General Tso's Chicken since I moved here several years ago and haven't found it yet. Here the meat was kind of slimy, breading was soggy. I ordered it medium spicy and it wasn't spicy at all. Probably won't order it again. I liked the veggie lo mein though. read more
