The Golden Phoenix, as is the tradition of many other Chinese restaurants, has an extensive menu, with almost 200 dishes and combination dinners. For a fleeting moment, our flowing gastronomic juices erased our reason for the evening's festivities.Īnother successful dish during our dinner was the mu shu pork ($6.25), made especially appetizing because our waiter filled and folded the pancakes tableside, sparing the every present dilemma of more mu shu than pancakes. We were oblivious to our dining companions, who fidgeted nervously, aware that we might be late to our long-awaited Garrison Keillor concert. My wife and I labored to remove every last morsel. The freshly steamed Maine lobster, chopped in bite-size chunks still in the shell, was served steaming hot, bathed in a lively black bean sauce. He especially raved about the lobster in black bean sauce. The vegetarian Buddha tofu ($5.25), a colorful blend of vegetables atop chewy chunks of tofu seasoned with a delicate sauce, was highlighted by crisp green pea pods, golden baby corn and moon-shaped slices of waterchestnut, to name a few of the ingredients.Ī reliable source who insists on anonymity and must frequent every new Pacific Rim restaurant that opens in the South State Street neighborhood, tipped us off about weekend seafood specials. Some of the dishes we sampled possess this same attention to color and detail.
The bright walls feature beautiful silk art work that reflects familiar Chinese themes - stately birds in flight, pandas peering through thick patches of bamboo, and, of course, the colorful phoenix. The Golden Phoenix, a Chinese restaurant on South State barely open a month, is appropriately named when one considers the unsuccessful tenants that have occupied the location - from a Mongolian barbecue to a private club that featured boxing on wide-screen TV.As the most current occupants, the owners of the Golden Phoenix have made vast improvements in the decor, and, as we discovered during luncheon and dinner visits, the menu received similar attention.īlack-lacquered straight-back chairs surround linen-draped tables. It is revered in many cultures, from Egypt to China. There food was very low run down nothing was replenished and it was very Luke warm while we was sat eating the staff are sat there watching you ready to come and take your plates away just as I went over to my daughter to push her chair in more to the table my plate had been taken away and I hadn’t finished eating they was constantly stood watching people ready to snatch there plates off them I found this very uncomfortable and not a nice atmosphere to eat in we felt very rushed £3.50 for a coke I seen the lady pour it out of a Asda bottle of coke something that you would pay £1.The phoenix is known throughout history as the mythical bird that consumed itself in flames and then rose from its ashes.
