Phoenix Inn Chinese Cuisine

0atwong • 31st Jan 2006 • Food

When I think of cantonese desert… I think of Phoenix Inn. The closest one is in Irvine. I usually go there. So after Yoshino, I took Kathy there since she hasn’t been there. I usually order the black rice soup (thanks to Ting Ting for introducing me to the place and black rice). She ordered the Taro soup.

Unlike many Hong Kong Style seafood restaurants in the San Gabriel valley, Phoenix Inn offers down-to-earth old fashioned or even nostalgic Cantonese cuisine. The term “home-made” food does not carry the same weight in Chinese as in American. Chinese usually consider restaurant food is of better quality. However, if there were such thing as “home-made” Chinese cuisine, Phoenix Inn is offering that. Their food is like what mom used to make but in a more refined or delicate manner. It is definitely a lot better than those non-distinguishable “me-too” seafood places.
