    The best dim sum you can get in a traditional, big old lanterns-and-dragons Chinese. It has a much bigger menu than Royal China, far more specials, and much edgier stuff... Read more

    Cheung feng is really to die for, this place is highly underrated, this is really a 10. Every place I have been that has a higher rating than Phoenix Palace is not as good as it. 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👍

    Food can be good or bad depending on the time of day. Sometimes they'll give you processed meat and other not so good food if it's quiet. Btw the young waiter is very friendly, service with a smile :)

    "Cold tossed baby octopus in chilli, lemon &garlic dressing" is one of the best dishes ever. I would take a picture if we could stop eating it.

    By the way I meant the eel cheung feng, the others are good too but the eel cheung feng is the best by far.

    Dim sum lunch better option than a dinner here. Staples like prawns in garlic and chilli dry and Szechuan chicken are tasty and spicy.

    Typical large Chinese with plenty of locals. Good food and slow, surly service. What else do you need?" For the authentic experience.

    Very good selection of chinese food. Pretty typical. I like it because they have the soup I like. Good service.

    This thriving Chinese restaurant excels at what are known as "clay pot" dishes — slow cooked casseroles to the rest of us. Great gravy, great flavours. Read more

    Soft shell crab. Cantonese rôtisserie (duck, pork, chicken). Jackie Chan and Tony Blair are fans.

    Try Szechuan Set Menu - it's simply awesome! Caution: lots of food - 2 sets will be for sure enough for 3 adults ;)

    CHEUNG FENG. Stop doing what you are doing and go have some cheung feng at Phoenix Palace. It's the best thing you can eat.

    Well.. we had a good visit previously. Today, we can't say we recommend.... the Cantonese beef was too sweet. And the chicken cashew should be called "Tasteless"

    Takeaway menu is the same price as the restaurant. Fair enough, a lot of restaurants are like that. But the quality of food was substandard along with the veg/protein portion. Never again

    Nice food but crap service. Had to ask 4 times for a beer, 3 times for water and chase them a few times for the bill. So frustrating! Won't go back. Only time I've refused to pay the service charge

    Have been happily going here regularly for Dim Sum, however won't be coming back. After ordering our last Dim Sum dish, it was over a 20 minute wait. And the staff said it was our fault it was late!
