    Blackened NY steak
    Robin S.

    The Phoenix was recommended as a good place for a steak that won't hurt your wallet (much). And it offers quite a lot of options for those who don't eat meat. We had a table for three reserved for 6 on a weeknight and while we were seated almost immediately, the restaurant was quite busy. - Blackened NY steak: Nicely blackened, not 'melt in your mouth' but very good. It's not a huge cut. Maybe Blacksmith, Brickhouse, Bos Taurus or Kayo's might offer a marginally better steak but they also charge more. - Salmon piccata: excellent rendition of salmon. - 'Chefs' vegetable side: a bit disappointing, actually. Green beans needed a little further cooking and the carrots & broccoli were bland. Needs seasoning and maybe another choice of vegetables. I think the chef phoned this one in. - Baked potato: perfectly cooked. Love the all-booth seating in the dining room. A bit loud in the restaurant. Music is unnecessary. Great service. Tap list is pretty extensive for a restaurant. I like that they have details on each beer on the back of the menu. Speaking of, why do restaurants only give a table of three one drink menu? Never understood that. I'll try to peel myself away from the brewpubs in town and visit occasionally.

    Chicken Piccata - 10 out of 10
    Chris C.

    A group of four of us came on a Saturday and sat I. The bar. We ordered the Buffalo Wings, Taco Salad and the Chicken Piccata. Everything was delicious and the service was great. Each of us ordered a Long Island and although they weren't super tasty, they were strong and worth the purchase. We had eaten all over Bend and this was the best food experience this far. Good job Phoenix!!

    My keto burger.  $21 with tip.

Just enough spicy without being too much. Ordering at the counter seemed interesting to me due to the layout of the dining room, but the staff knew exactly what they were doing and were able to direct us to a seat easily! Our food and drinks also came in a timing manner. I really appreciated that we could see all the way back into the kitchen and there was transparency between the kitchen and the consumers. The bar looked gorgeous and I would definetly like to sit there next time for the vibes. I also loved that they provided self-serve boxes, napkins, and utensils but still had a sign asking patrons to be concious of how much they're using. The overall flow between ordering, self serve, and dining was super efficient and nice! Can't wait to come here again!

It got busy with a packed front part of the shop with multiple people. Food: I ordered the wild salmon bento. It was a little on the fishy side. That is my only comment.

I liked it. I feel there are limited ingredients in Central Oregon. This is pretty good for what we get in Central Oregon. I am happy that there is a small Japanese community in Bend.

However, LA is competitive so it…read moreisn't fair and mainly rating it accordingly to the area and palates of a much less asian community. So if comparing on Oregon alone, giving it a 4. In general alone without comparisons: - chicken teriyaki flavors and sauce was perfect and not overwhelming BUT it was very charred. Loads of scattered chars on chicken which spread throughout rice made it difficult to eat without having the thought of eating a bowl of high cancer risk. (See pic. All the black areas, sauce and rice had specks scattered like pepper all over but is char). Unless you love a great char bbq flavor, then this is for you. Again, had it not been so overly charred, I actually really liked this. - the gyudon bowl was good. No char here. Descent portion and meat to rice ratios (same as the chicken). One thing i like is they used lean beef instead of the traditional fatty beef belly short plate type slices. Easier for me so I don't have to pick out the fat strips. Flavor is not bad but this compared to chicken teriyaki sauce is much stronger. More saltier and sweet than what im used to. I actually prefer the juices from yoshinoya instead which seems more brothy. In addition, unsure if its my taste buds but if i taste it correctly, it was missing dashi base. Although i also feel its catering to local taste buds and preferences which I could completely understand: so if you prefer more flavors (salty and sweet) and less or no dashi flavors then this is for you. - We also got spam musubi (this is quite generic and cant really go wrong). So this is definitely a safe one to get. Service: there were a skeleton crew of 3. They were all super nice and sweet. I can tell they take a lot of pride and care in making your food. They made our chicken to order, as I saw one lady literally just cutting strips of chicken to cook. So I will also add that it took awhile to get our food. So if you are coming hungry, expect a wait and be patient as they are a small crew especially during busy rush hrs. Or call in your order ahead of time. Ambience: like many Japanese establishments, they are usually small. Just a long table along each side of a long hallway. However, there are sooo many nice parks and malls around that we took it to go and did a small picnic nearby. It was amazing. Cost: definitely much more costly than LA. Oregon doesn't have sales tax but exchanged with the spiked price tags (more tourists vibe prices).

Hot, creamy and coconutty with just the right level of spice. The portion was extremely generous making for some excellent leftovers. It had crunchy noodles for texture, soft noodles for chew and it was very saucy, with a decent portion of chicken. If I had to find a negative, by itself, the thinly sliced chicken seemed under seasoned and would have been dry had there not been a good amount of sauce. All in all, I highly recommend a visit to others and deemed them worthy of a return visit to try some of their other menu items.

That's fine, places get busy quickly on a Sunday morning. Ended up waiting nearly an hour. It happens and sometimes it's worth it for good food. Our waitress was kind but clearly needed more help. Took her 15 minutes to get to our table. I asked her to level with me: How long would our food really take, because we have two antsy kids. She says 20 minutes. That's quick! Okay, we order. 10 minutes later, they say sorry we are out of orange juice. We did not order orange juice. They say they do have chocolate milk, which we did order. Glass (like, adult glass) comes for my kid and the guy explains they are out of chocolate milk so they mixed cold milk with hot cocoa powder. Looks chunky. He apologizes and says he needs to go across the street to get orange juice and chocolate milk so we can wait if we want. We don't. We just want to eat and leave. I order iced coffee (on the menu), they only have canned cold brew. Not ideal but fine. Burger (something I could honestly make at home) comes with dry breakfast potatoes. The flattest pancakes I've ever seen, complete with black grease marks from the griddle. I appreciate that the patio was nice and there was a water bowl for our dog but there were so many rookie mistakes that it felt like a restaurant that just opened last week and we're working out kinks. I'm actually annoyed at the 5-star reviews because there's no way they are at the same place we did.
