Phoenix in Scarborough

Always friendly and we absolutely love the dry chili, chicken and salt and pepper squid. Also a favourite is the green curry with shrimp.

Amazing food and service. They have many years of service ahead of them

Amazing Service!.. Amazing Food!... Everybody should eat here!!... Food : 5/5

Highly recommended local spot, food and service are both excellent.

I dont normally write Reviews, but I must. This is by far one of the best restaurants in the city. Amazing food and service. The staff is amazing and wonderful!

Food is great. Love the Hakka Chicken Chow Mein and General Tao chicken.

They never fail they food is top level great ppl very friendly and welcoming

Great price, quick service, enjoyed crispy beef and kung pao tofu. Good people. Hope to try more dishes soon.

I thought the food wasn t going to be top-tier, but it was very delicious food very fresh. The inside of the store very clean. The food was very fresh and prices are very well quality food. I was very impressed. Authentic !!! Food

Go to place for Asian food. Their bombay fish is to die for! the best one in toronto. Chilli chicken is great too.

Since COVID, they do not anymore dine in service but still good take out service food. Always kind, friendly service. I love it!!!

This is my go to for Chinese/thai. I can expect the same great food every time I go. Always cooked to perfection

Love the Phoenix - such amazing food - it is is great every time. Always consistent, such friendly owners!

By far one of the best and affordable asian restaurants in Scarborough. Great tasting food and Good prices! Highly recommend their Cantonese Chow Mein noodles!

Do order Bombay Chicken for once, you gonna love it.

The service here is always amazing. Your order is always ready within 10 minutes. The portions are generous and the prices are very reasonable by todays standards. Become a regular customer and they will often throw in a bonus food suprise. Since Covid, they are take out only. Highly recommended!

This place has some of the best, freshest and homemade Asian cuisine I ve had in a very long time. The price is amazing for the quality of food you re getting. Highly recommend!

Amazing local gem! Always delivers on taste and value.

This is by far the tastiest Chinese food around. Able to do it with gluten free request. Portion size freshness and quality are exceptional. Simply the best.

The customer service is outstanding at this restaurant. The food is great and priced fairly. Definitely recommended.

We have been coming here for take out for about 6 months now and it is simply the best place around! Every dish we have ordered has never disappointed! The quality of the food is amazing, consistent and the portions are generous! From simply chicken wings, pakora chicken, hakka dishes, manchuran chicken, pad Thai, and many other dishes we have tried. We have always enjoyed every meal....you truly cannot go wrong with anything on the menu! The family is amazing there and treat you very nicely! Cant wait to order again! You truly will not be disappointed!

Phoenix is our family favourite Hakka-style (Indian-Chinese fushion) restaurant. My daughter loves their thick Shanghai noodles and Chicken Balls. We love the Chilli Chicken, Szechuan Shrimp (dry), and traditional Hakka people favourite Fung-Mee mein (sweet sauce). Its takeout only. William (the owner and chief cook) is friendly and welcoming. This building is being redeveloped so the restaurant may not be open long (I hope it reopens in another location, or takeout only).

I moved to this neighbourhood about 13 years ago and discovered Phoenix within the first month. I started coming for their lunch specials because it was such a great value for the money and I always had almost double the food I really needed so it lasted me for the next day. Then that transitioned into ordering for my whole family and every single thing we ve ordered in the past 13 years has been fantastic! You just can t get this value anywhere else. The takeout boxes are so large and so stuffed with food that even after having a full serving, it still looks like the container is full. we were devastated when we heard that the building and lot had been sold for condos and that we were losing our go to takeout restaurant. Every time I come for takeout I ask if they re going to be there the next month. I m going to be really sad when I m told that the construction is about to start and Phoenix won t exist anymore. I am begging the owners to open up a new location. If you feel the same way demand that they relocate and leave a review! Maybe we can force them to open a new location, lol!

great food and wonderful staff.

I recently discovered this gem of a restaurant on kingston road. The food was very good and delicious and fresh. The 3 Staples of any successful restaurants are 1. Quality and 2. Quantity and 3. Reasonable Food Prices. They meet these criteria and the owner also the chef is very kind and courteous.

My favorite Chinese fusion restaurant! Ive been eating here for 8 years and have never had a bad dish. There is alot to choose from on their menu and everything is delicious. Some of my favorites are the mandarin fish and three treasure seafood. You should definitely check out this restaurant if youre in the area, and if youre not its worth the drive. I still go there frequently even though Ive moved away, thats how good it is.

The food is always exceptional and the service is amazing! I Highly recommend !

Pretty good food, we took chicken pakora, fried rice and chili chicken, cost us 40$. Also they gave small guava candies lol!

My husband and I LOVE the singapore noodles, which have giant tender shrimp and perfectly cooked and seasoned noodles. Also, the general tao chicken is fabulous. We highly recommend!

Without a doubt the best...

Very time efficient and has amazing food!

My family has been eating here from time to time over the past decade. We believe that, outside of large buffet restaurants, this is hands down the best pan asian restaurant in all of Scarborough, Ontario.

Highly recommend. Food is delicious and always ready when I pick up. Price is very reasonable and the owner is friendly. Try it.

The Phoenix is Chinese food you can count in. Its always fresh, delicious and the service gives you the local neighbourhood feel. I cannot explain it but their vegetable fried rice is the best thing ever. If i introduce it for the first time to someone, they always go back for seconds and thirds. Prices are great and portions are generous. Most of all, its all delicious.

Friendly staff and extremely delicious food. Will definitely go back soon!

Great service great food and very friendly. 5 stars

Each time we order from here we try to have something new along with our favorites. This place does not disappoint.

This place has delicious food along with some really wonderful and friendly staff. Ive been going here for about a year the quality has stayed consistently great! Would recommend the Ginger Chicken and Yang Chow Fried Rice.

Hidden gems. Great price for excellent Chinese food. Even accommodating gluten free options. Definitely my new favourite place to go for takeout. Dietary restrictions: Gluten free option is available

Such an incredible lil spot . The portions are big and the food is so goood. Not to mention the amazing customer service

Amazing. It s too bad they don t offer in dining anymore! Food is great and if I need my quick fix of Asian food this is the place for me to go! Hope they stay longer than they said they will! It ll be sad to see them shut down when r the condos go up!

I always order Nasi goreng. Its very delicious and reasonably priced. The staff are all super friendly and nice. Its my favorite restaurant!

One of my favourite Thai/ Asian take out restaurants in Scarborough. Pricing is so reasonable, portion sizes are huge and everything is always so tasty! There s a reason why this place has been around for over 15 years definitely would recommend!!

Im gonna miss this place ...its local...great food.. love the hakka noodles ..friendly people who work there ...no complaints at all..if i could save it i would..one of the best hakka restaurants in scarborough...definitley a hidden gem.

Dont be fooled by their modest appearance. The food is top-notch in terms of taste and quantity. I thoroughly recommend the Chilli Chicken. Heres a hack: Buy a soup of your choice and Hakka noodles. Combine the two - you can thank me later.

Food is awesome. Love the Sichuan chilli shrimp, stayed beef, Chicken pakora and chilli chicken my all favourite. Highly recommend for this place.

Very mediocre.

They need to work better on food preparation, taste and clean the food properly before cooking it because the food had a weird smell to it.

Parking: Good local food. Recommended dishes

Love this place my favorite dish is the bacon wrapped shrimp with mango salad and a delicious dressing all the disses there Ive had are tasty good size portions and decent pricing staff is friendly and service is good unfortunately since the pandemic they only have takeout a must try !

Their chicken wings are really good with great flavour. A bit disappointed with the crispy beef, too soggy. Nice gentleman.

I have this thing.. I love egg rolls, and yes, I can make them, but time to do so is hard to come by. Phones was the 1st time I bought from them. Amazing I will be back for sure on my next craving for egg rolls. I will be trying their food, oneday soon.

Always good takeout

One of my favourite places to get hakka food! The food was delicious and it was at a great price. Service was efficient and welcoming. Definitely would come back!

The best hakka food in town. Prices are very reasonable. Only have takeout since the pandemic.

We loved the food. I had ordered fried rice, chilli chicken and lemon chicken. We loved them all. It was exactly what I was looking for. Will definitely visit again.

Crispy Beef Chili Chicken Hakka Veg Noodles (With Egg)

Only have ordered the coconut soup from here but it was really good and definitely will try other dishes

My go to Chinese take out in Scarborough. Always good food. I am a fan of their Special Fried Rice and Three Treasure Seafood. Try them, you wont be disappointed.

Phoenix is my all time favourite fusion restaurant! Their food is delicious - always hot and the portion sizes are generous. My favourite dishes are Bombay chicken, bacon wrapped shrimp, chicken pakora and hot and sour soup. Simply great quality food at reasonable prices! Highly recommend!

Recommended the place, the person who serves is very friendly.

Used to go here 3 times a week until they started charging extra for sauce on the side. Meanwhile dine in guests get unlimited sauce. Makes no sense. But if they want to lose longtime customers for a bit of sauce thats on them

AMAZING. GET THEM WHILE YOU CAN. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. CLOSING DOWN SOON. Great service. Amazing price. Quick. Top notch food. Huge servings. SUPER friendly. Love.

Food is always good & reasonably priced. Fast service, highly recommend. No dine in available

Got my repair done

Good food and portion sizes for amazing price. Friendly lady at cash. Always quick with take out, being ready in around 10 min always

Good food. Big portion for the money.

Food is great, portion is generous for the price. One of my fav go-to comfort foods/restaurants

Excellent chinese restaurant in east Scarborough. Food is still excellent! Shrimp, Hakka fish, Shanghai noodles-all delicious and generous proportions.... unfortuneately, no eat in, only take-out

This little restaurant is a diamond find. I moved away but everytime I get a chance I pass by for a great meal. They make the best fish and eggplant dish. The flavors are rich and authentic. If you are looking for a great meal, I will highly recommend this restaurant. Plus the price is great!!

I dont understand how the few negative ratings coincide with the overwhelming majority of responses that love the Phoenix. You can surmise that what all the negative comments have in common is a vengeful tone. So you can infer what kind of people they may be. I have come here for over a decade and William and Peggy are only generous and hard working as well as humble. I often order the Shrimp Hakka Chow Mein and there is nothing that comes close to their Hakka Chow Mein that I have come across. The portions can feed two and the shrimp is the large kind (refer to photo) and not baby shrimp. My large workplace is excited for our Phoenix work lunches. William accommodates us in so many ways and is proud of his skillful cooking. My workplace loves the Phoenix. As someone previously stated, it is a hidden gem.

Food was good, but we thought it had dine-in (thats what Google said). But they dont, they only have delivery or take-away. Vegetarian options: Decent

The food was good, and the cashier was very helpful

Great service,super tastey, love the shrimp

Hidden gem right on Kingston Rd and Scarborough Golf Club Rd. It serves up great food, that you wont find in any other typical Chinese Restaurant. Has great selection, from spicy, to crispy, to sweet. Their Coconut Soup is great. And the size of the shrimp they serve is huge!

I usually get Chinese food in Markham and have been looking for somewhere to eat near my in-laws. I m so glad we tried out Phoenix. They use good quality ingredients, have generous portions and just overall really impressed me. We have eaten here twice and both times like everything we ordered. Highly recommend if you are in the area.

Horrible food. Terrible customer service. Sauces are watered down. Never go there

I discovered this place on a winter night when it was snowy. I am surprised I didnt try their food earlier than that. So far I have tried their Szechuan fried rice, spicy fried rice, lemon chicken and all of these were delicious. They offer a very generous portion size and quality food. I love egg in the fried rice and they even ask about any allergies before adding egg to the rice. Their chili sauce has a distinctive and good taste. Service is great. One of the best chinese food I have had in Scarborough. This is now one of my go-to places for take outs.

Excellent!

Bad experience with their manchurian chicken before which never made me come back.

I love Phoenix. I am a regular customer. My family usually orders: the Green Curry Chicken; Thai Spring Rolls; Chicken Balls; and Singapore Noodles. It is ready super quick and is very delicious. I am worried that the restaurant may disappear in the near future when the planned condos get built on this site. I hope they can stay in the neighbourhood. The staff is always friendly with a big smile (visible even under masks). A true local treasure.

Wasted money. Never again. Whatever you do, dont order the Cantonese Chow Mein. Youll get some monstrosity covered in a disgusting, curdled and separated sauce with a truckload of vegetables that have no business in chow mein. I called to tell them I thought they gave me the wrong dish and the cook came on the phone to tell me that its the right dish, thats just the style. I literally couldnt eat it, and Im a pig who will eat just about anything. Apparently disgusting is a style now. The crispy beef was soft and chewy and the steamed rice was stale and dry. Maybe thats also the style. Not the worst 40 dollars Ive ever spent but close.

Always good food, reasonable prices.

Excellent price. Hakka noodles and green beans were excellent (great flavour, not too oily). I found the hakka beef to be somewhat tough and not crispy, although this may be due to the nature of take-out for this sort of thing. The taste was good, however. I will definitely go back (and gladly reevaluate if the next meat dish stands up a bit better). ------- Honey garlic chicken, Chinese greens and spicy chow mein... All awesome. Revise - - > 5/5

Im sorry but- did the chicken walk past the wontons? It has zero filling yet its called chicken wontons? I have no words?

My go to is the chicken chow mein! Support local business! They were so sweet and gave us this lovely gift.

Great food and great prices. Fast food prep and friendly/courteous service! Cantonese chow mein is fantastic!

Great food and prices

My neighborhood Hakka joint. The staff is super friendly and can accommodate if youre vegetarian. The food is delicious: Hakka Chow mein, manchurian anything and the hot and sour soup is their own amazing style.

Customer service was good. Although I just got home and opened my food and there was hair in it. Not going back

The chilli chicken was good, but the golden fried shrimp was doughy.

The food is always spot on. Good portions and prices. 10 percent discount on cash payments is a bonus.

Excellent Manchurian fish. The spice level was spot on. Every meal Ive had from Phoenix has been great. Fast friendly service too. Highly recommend this restaurant

Great taste of food, gracious staff, reasonable prices!

Amazing food and excellent service

Tasty food. Price is right. Used to drive 15 minutes for Same dishes not realizing this local place right around the corner.

You have to cook the same food the same way

One the best restaurants for Asian food. The food is perfection at its best.

Great Chinese and thai food. Tasty

Scarborough s finest. I ve been eating here for years. They treat my family like family. All the dishes are great. Still the best hot and sour soup I ve ever had.

Excellent service and food. Wish there were more menu items without msg but they were honest and up front about it which was highly appreciated and they are right a lot of everyday items things do have msg.

Really good food. Very fast service

Havent ordered from here in a while but was happily surprised the last time I did. Have only ordered Chinese food from here, so cannot attest to the Hakka/Thai selections. Food was fresh, not greasy and ingredients were of good quality. Staff are very nice and accommodating and even give you a giant bag of house-made shrimp chips with your order. Wish they had better Cantonese fried noodles (gong doong chow mein) but everything else is very good. The shrimps are a very good size, not those teeny ones you get at most restaurants. Will definitely be ordering from here again when Im too lazy to make Chinese food at home.

Food tastes great

Great food. Great prices.

Love this place. Excellent variety of dishes. The ingredients are fresh and portions are good. Favs are the crispy beef, green curry chicken, dry ginger chicken and shrimp pad Thai. The staff are friendly and service is quick.

Great Hakka food at a good price. Lunch specials are great value. Chicken Chow Mein is great.

The food tasted very bland and had no flavour. It s almost like there was no sauce or spices. Dishes tasted like no seasoning was added. Food is ready in the less than 10 minutes. I m guessing they just warm frozen food and then serve it. Even McDonald s takes longer to prepare. I cant recommend this restaurant.

My wife and I went for Valentines Day, great selection of Asian cuisines, friendly staff/management, and great prices. This will be our new Chinese food spot for sure!

The chili chicken is excellent :-)

Have nothing in stock

I dont normally write google reviews (in fact this is my first) but I just love Phoenix! My family and I have been coming here for years and out of all the hakka restaurants I have tried, Phoenix is the best! Its affordable, the portions are generous and their menu offers a variety of dishes that can accommodate people with different food preferences! The food is delicious/ tasty/authentic and the staff are friendly and efficient. Pheonix does dine in, take-out and can even accommodate larger groups where a buffet option is available! The two MUST try dishes would be the prawns in sweet garlic chili sauce and the chicken pakora (I order these everytime)!

Really good food, so many options and the taste is . The owners are super friendly and accomodating to dietary restrictions/allergies too.

The food was bland in comparison to similar restaurants. The chow mein was was below average - what looked and tasted like day old salad tossed in the wok with some noodles, egg and chicken. The chilli chicken was oily and full of batter and fat/gristle. The mixed vegetables were over done. The garlic chilli shrimp was over cooked to the point that it was mushy in its batter. Sub-par experience. There are much better options out there.

Amazing chilli chicken

Phoenix always impresses with their fabulous food and great service! Thanks for making dinner delicious and easy tonight!

Good food, price, and service, and Im happy to come back frequently.

Excellent Asian (Chinese/Thai) food. Nice people, reasonable pricing. We take out from Phoenix Pan Asian Restaurant every week.

So bland, dry/no sauce. At least it was not greasy.

Hot and sour soup is one of my favorite single foods out there and I ve tried a lot of them all over town. The soup at Phoenix is #1 in my book. The quality of ingredients, texture, flavor, consistency, and heat is simply perfect. The rest of the menu looks great as well, and I ll be sure to try other dishes next. Friendly owners too, very nice people. Highly recommend you try it if you like tasty, well prepared Asian cuisine

Love this place

Taste is second to none. Good Hakka cuisine and variety.. Sad they don t provide rice on the side anymore.

Tasty and fresh!

Fairly priced menu with great value. I recommend getting their chicken corn soup and their fried shrimp on mango salad!

Home cooking is good for the health and also clean environment.

Amazing food, friendly service and competitive prices considering the large serving size. I personally had the golden curry with beef and egg rolls

Great services, and the food so delicious thank you so much.

Customer service is great food is delicious you have to try the bacon wrapped shrimp.

Nice small restaurant, but trust me the taste is awesome

Good food

Good

Friendly staff and fresh, hot and tasty food. Nice level of spice too! Hope to return again when in the area.

This is one of the best Hakka restaurant in Scarborough. The food is awesome, lots of varieties with an extremely reasonable prices. The services are superb. Its a small family run restaurant with mostly takeout n deliveries. Ideal place for small family get together. Peaceful , hygienic n good food with low prices, what else do you want?.

Amazing food and lovely people

great food, great prices, not the best ambience, but great food!

First time at this place today. We all loved their food, soup, curry and noodles, not oily or super-salty, all great. Price quire reasonable, friendly staff, clean environment, will visit again.

It was one of the best Chinese restaurants I have ever been

I love when my sister visits because we always discover new restaurants together in my neighbourhood. I usually dont take the time to see anything new but when shes around its on! Shes very adventurous so we came here to eat last week. Im glad we went! Our eyes were bigger than our stomachs so we got a beef dish, some friend eggplant, a chili shrimp, and tempura covered shrimp. sorry, Im not sure the exact names of all the food. It was interesting and very tasty. Not something I would have all the time, but great for an adventure for the palate!

Excellent food and cute adorable restaurant, we ordered noodle soup large and it was so beyond tasty

I usually go here at lunch with work colleagues. Great lunch specials with a spring roll n soup. Most dishes at $6.50 + tax. Tastes great and not too oily. Good and fast service. Spacious restaurant and parking lot is not busy.

Friendly staff, great food and reasonable price.

Nice enviroment and tasty food.

Great place to dine

Delicious, quick and very affordable. Lunch for #7.95. Try it. Youll be glad you did.

Stopped in to this place on our way through the city; the food was fantastic, made fresh to order, and the service was excellent. Our server was very friendly and offered great suggestions. We highly recommend this place.

Extremely disappointed. We came for a family dinner 48 minutes before closing time, however the owner refused to let us dine in and his customer service is the worst, very cold and unfriendly. Why say 9:30 if you don t let customers dine in. Honestly would ve given them 0 stars if that was possible.

My family and I came to eat at the restaurant at exactly 8:40 pm and when we went in, they refused to serve us and let us eat in there since they said they were closing even though they are supposed to close at 9:30 pm. Why make make closing time at 9:30pm when you start closing before 9:00pm. The owner was unfriendly, didn t even apologized, he just tried to get rid of us. The way the owner acted was really astonishing. It was super rude.

I wish I had tried this place before today, their food is terrific. The lunch specials are excellent and inexpensive (Hakka chicken and Manchurian chicken). The wonton soup was made with care, the little touches like snow peas in it, made me see that this isnt just your run-of-the-mill Chinese restaurant. I highly recommend it (and I cant say that for very many restaurants of any genre, in this area) its not too greasy or salty or soy(y)? Lol. Bon Appetite !

For my meal, asked for veggies stir fry which came quickly though could count the number of prawns in it. (Definitely not more than 4). Was served with steamed white rice. My bill was under $13

Food is incredible with great ingredients, and prices are lower than reasonable... I dont know how they do it!!

Great Chinese food. My dad and I ordered to go and found that the food was flavourful and not oily. Will visit again soon!

Do not try to come in after 9PM. They say they close at 9:30 but every time Ive walked over just after 9 the lights are off and the door is locked. I called to verify theyd be open today and sure enough they were closed at 9:10 when I got there.

I called to deliver and the very rudely told me they do not deliver to apartments

We order there often. Its down the street from where my brother lives. My favorite is the beef fried rice

The food was amazing my wife and I both thoroughly enjoyed it. The price was amazing and the service was extremely friendly and helpful.

It was open but nobody was there, we waited enough and we left

Very friendly service. Priced well. Decent quality.

Great food but service is ok.

I went here with my best friend for my birthday, all I can say is bb

Always a good place

Been to this place many of times and never been disappointed. The prices are very fair, the flavour of the food is very good for both their Hakka and chinese, the portions are large. Ive had so many dishes there that I loved, they have my favorite pakora out of any hakka places that Ive tried. Keep up the good work

Very good food at very fair prices. Ill have to go to check out more of their food. If your ever feeling up for some Asian cuisine and are close to them. Check them out

Delicious and Convenient. Very fast and friendly service as well.

Consistantly good food and service

As always great meal there, although this time dined in rather than taking out. Food is creative and amazing. Staff always very courteous.
