Rhodes Phoenix

wasn’t even at the phoenix restaurant for more than 40 minutes due to rude customer service, food was not edible due to it being cold. the crispy calamari that we ordered was extremely rubbery and soggy. the pork was cold, not freshly made and sickly. DEFINITELY NOT worth the $61 that we had payed for 4 dishes that were all equally not edible. must have to say that some of the trollies that are supposed to come and serve will not bother to stop for us and ask what we had wanted. HIGHLY UNRECOMMENDED. worst yum cha experience ever.

This place is massive. 4 times of the average food court. We had half an hour eating in yumcha, I was completely shocked to pay $165.5 for 2 adults and 1 seven year old child!! The service was too pushy, the ladies wheeling the trolleys constantly asking you do you want this ? Coogee? Dumplings? You don’t get a good think about or enjoy your food! Feeling harassed . There is no price menu for yumcha, the food price is completely hidden , as a customer you don’t know the price tag but only the owner knows , they use different symbols to price tag the food you ordered. They have a dining menu in their website but it’s completely irrelevant from what they offering. Is this type of dining legal in Australia?

Yum Cha done well! We have eaten here many times and the food is always good. Love the scallop dumplings. Had the pippies today for the first time and they were delicious in black bean sauce. We will definitely go back!

Sorry no pics, except for fruit, was too busy eating. We had fried rice, beans, eggplant and morning glory. The food was on point Chinese food. Kept it traditional and tasty. The restaurant was clean and nicely presented. The best part was the efficiency of the service. Very prompt and very attentive. I’m looking forward to the next visit as I would like to come back and try the Yum Cha.

If you’re nostalgic for 70’s style underwhelming sweet food with lots of onions and capsicum …. This is the place…. Wait staff are mix of polite and bored… one spoiled soy sauce on a guest at the table and just walked away.

"Elegant Chinese setting" We have ordered $75 pp banquet for our group of 14 and food variety and tastes were good especially the Mongolian beef and steamed (Barramundi) fish. The mud crab however was mostly shells with little messy meat to chew on. However the serving waiter was very rude and almost threw serving plates on to our table - he may had problem with his boss or wife ...??. So we have complained to the manager and got "better" waiter soon after. The ambience setting is quite elegant, clean and recommendable for large functions.

We’ve been going to this restaurant for over 10 years and it’s a family favourite. Delicious Chinese food and they have perfected many western favourites. Not only that; but the service is excellent and so friendly - our server tonight Norman was fantastic and made our night even more special. We just keep coming back!

Make sure that you book well in advance and try to come either on a weekday, or early on the weekend so that it’s less busy. I’d recommend this restaurant for families wanting to try a classic Chinese restaurant for dinner. P.S. very kid friendly!
