I'm visiting Phoenix for the first time I researched Pete's Fish and Chips before showing up. They are as proud of this establishment as El Paso is proud to call Chico's Tacos their own. I knew in advance you have to eat outside at a picnic table and that you are to eat with your hands. No plastic ware is provided. It is cash only. I ordered the #2 special (2 fish, 7 shrimp, fries and a 32 oz. Drink. I paid an upcharge for substituting onion rings for fries. I asked for a magnet souvenir and the girl asked "nuts or no nuts?" I told her a magnet like you stick on a refrigerator, not a brownie. It took 3 tries to get the magnet. It was free. Although it took a while for the order, it was hot and fresh. I expected some tartar sauce but instead received 3 cocktail sauces. It worked. The fish were small and square, like McDonald's. The shrimp were a breaded strip that contained small shrimp. The printed hype didn't match reality. San Antonio easily has better chain establishments, like J. Anthony's or Sea Island. I was greatly disappointed.

Prices are good! The breaded items I got were amazing. Fish, nuggets, shrimp wow definitely reorder. The fries and burger and corn dog was generic I'd skip them next time. But all that for like $30. Pete's sauce is kinda spicy but it was good! So I came back 2 hrs drive away and the service was still amazing and they even gave us two stickers. Food is fresh and tasty. This is great priced good food.

Prices went up; portions got smaller Friendly employees, always very clean, a tasty affordable meal for what it is. I haven’t eaten here in awhile and I was surprised that the serving is noticeably smaller than I remember. The chicken was very skimpy, not even a whole spoonful

Came here for lunch today and had such a great experience! The staff was so friendly, it was super nice to be greeted with a smile. I love the noodle bowl, and you have to try half teriyaki sauce, half yellow curry sauce. The yellow curry is SO GOOD

Happened to walk by when I was at a teacher training and decided to stop at this little gem. I ordered a pork cabbage bun, a Halloween sesame special bun, and a matcha latte. So cute and friendly and quaint. I hope this place stays around. The sesame bun was soft and sweet and the pork cabbage bun was soft and just as I expected.

Found this little place by happenstance and it was lovely to come in for a quick bite. One of the owners is half Chilean and the two others are Chinese and they created a great fusion bao in honor of one of the owners Chilean heritage. As a Chilena who loves both Chinese and Chilean food the empanada boa was an awesome treat. Very cute, clean and great staff. Food was good and their Xia Bao Bao is a good price point. I love a great presentation with great food and they hit both. The carrot salad was wonderful.

Wait time to sit down about 10 minutes. Worth the wait. I ordered the spicy soup and it was delicious. The fried shrimp portion was huge. Friendly staff. Speedy service. Highly recommend

Mistakingly thought this place was the restaurant I was looking for. I’m still on the search, but this was a pearl to find. Bún w/ Pork and Egg roll: light plate, very good. Walnut Shrimp: heavy plate, large portion, tasty. Shrimp Spring Roll: EXCELLENT. Would return just for these.

Really kind staff, fast, delicious. Love the Mongolian Grill (Make Your Own) where you choose your own ingredients (type of noodles or rices, type of vegetables, sauces, proteins) and the chef made items are great too ie. the schezuan dumplings/pot stickers. The Boba is good too, even better than some Boba specific spots I've been to which is a nice surprise!

Whenever we visit any major USA city, we mandatorily visit their China Town be it New York, LA, Vegas, SFO, Seattle, Portland or Salt Lake City. We selected this option after going through online review and this was highest rated. Have to say, we weren’t disappointed. The food was extremely delicious especially the Firecracker Shrimp Noddles. We also ordered the Imperial Chicken, Schezhuan Dumplings and Cream Cheese Wonton, and all of them were delicious and reasonably priced. This place is a must try and highly recommended to lovers of this cuisine. The ambience however was not very much upto the mark and the restroom didn’t seem clean and that’s where it’s a 4 star instead of 5. But if we come to Salt Lake City ever again, we will definitely revisit this place.

Ordered; Won won trio, pork egg fu young, sweat & sour chicken. Everything was delicious and flavorful great portion sizes and great prices, the food tasted very fresh! The service was awesome the booths are super comfortable. Definitely a new favorite!

Have gotten this food multiple times over the last year or so. Generally I think the food was pretty good... But just got it door dashed recently and was really disappointed. The cheese won tons were ok, kinda low on filling and seemed to have some neon orange coloring on top of them. The fried rice as a side had a few pieces of egg sparsely hidden within and nothing else. Portions are excellent, hoping this was just an off night for them and not that it's going downhill.

Very delicious menu dishes. I recommend trying all the Currys, fried egg rolls, the lemongrass dish! The sesame chicken was really good as well, but the curry dishes are amazing. Haven't had a chance to try the noodle soup there yet. Definitely worth giving this place a try.

Shanghai Cafe has an excellent staff. They are friendly and willing to take the time to explain their dishes to you. Our party ordered the Mongolian beef, sesame chicken, sweet and sour chicken combination plate (with ham fried rice and a Vietnamese egg roll), egg drop soup, along with cream cheese wontons and the tempura vegetable platter. Our food was served to us quickly and every item was hot and delicious. The portions are large. Plan on taking a lot of food home, which makes this restaurant very well worth the money! Our waiter was quick to take away dishes that were no longer needed and to refill our water. He was attentive and made us feel appreciated. I’ve been coming here for years and it seems that the food just keeps getting better. Shanghai Cafe is one of my favorite places to go to in the city. I highly recommend.

Stopped by for dinner before the Dbacks vs Brewers game with a few friends. My dining experience here was out of this world. 1st quality food with world class customer service. This place is a real gem. The empanadas were perfectly balanced with flavor. The pork rice bowl was one of the best things I had ever eaten. Incredibly flavorful and so delicious. The tostones and tacos were exceptional. I highly recommend this spot. Also, I recommend getting a reservation. Take a few friends and try a little bit of everything. I look forward to returning..

What a fantastic place. Came here with a party of seven to celebrate a birthday. Sat outside around 6 PM on a Saturday evening. Weather was great, service and food were out of this world. We had both of the appetizers: the fried plantains and the yucca fritas. Both were outstanding. Great flavor and a wonderful chimichurri sauce. We also got a picture of sangria, which was not the best sangria I’ve ever had. I will say. So the drinks that we had were a little disappointing. In addition to the sangria people had Mojitos and a pisco sour. They were all fine, but not really tasty compared to other places that I’ve had. However, hold onto your hat because the food was absolutely incredible. We had the pork Tostones. Out of this world flavor all the way around. Other people had empanadas and the french fries covered in either pork or chicken. There were three ceviche dishes on the menu and we had each one at our table. Best ceviche I have ever had. So fresh, amazing flavor, a hint of heat, but not overpowering at all. Fantastic flavors of coconut, mango and more. We finished our meal with the two dessert options and enjoyed both very much. Will definitely put this place on our regular rotation of dining out.

My family was in Phoenix for the week. We ordered delivery to the hotel we were at (7 minutes away). The delivery took almost 2 hours. The food was cold, they did not bring half of the order, and the food was terrible. The chicken was overcooked and dry, the noodles were plain with no seasoning or sauce, and the amount of food was not enough for even one meal. It was approximately $16/plate, plus a delivery fee. Very disappointing.

Ordered steak... forced to eat chicken even after paying extra for the steak... Maybe they do deserve the 25% below minimum wage that was proposed.

The sweet chile calamari was good and the ambience of the restaurant is nice with a pleasant patio area. Unfortunately this is not somewhere we would go again. The ramen broths for both the Mic Drop and the Katsu were lacking flavor. The lime in the carnitas and the addition of kimchi for the Mic Drop felt out of place, and the Katsu was overall unappetizing.

A Mirage of Flavor: The Disappointment of SoSoBa There are places that transport you, where flavors awaken something deep within, and then there’s SoSoBa—a mirage in the desert, promising an oasis of bold, unforgettable tastes but delivering only a barren wasteland of disappointment. Let’s start with the ramen broth—the very soul of any respectable bowl. Instead of a rich, umami-laden elixir, I was met with something so flat, so lifeless, that even the humble seasoning packet from instant noodles would have put up a better fight. It was as if the broth had given up before it even had a chance to exist—an uninspired, flavorless pool that left my taste buds stranded in mediocrity. Then came the giant cheese ball—a culinary mirage, promising indulgence and decadence, only to crumble under the weight of its own dryness. I envisioned golden, crisp perfection, giving way to an eruption of molten, gooey cheese. Instead, I was served something that could only be described as the culinary equivalent of an Arizona summer—parched, unforgiving, and utterly lacking in moisture. The only thing giant about it was my disappointment. And the calamari—what should have been a delicate, crispy delight was drowned, suffocated beneath an ocean of overly salty, syrupy soy sauce. The greens beneath it, instead of offering a fresh contrast, were overpowered by this tidal wave of seasoning, obliterating any hope of balance. The calamari itself? A distant echo, lost in a sea of excess. But the true enigma of the night? The drink—a vision of beauty, a promise of escape, shimmering under the dim glow of expectation. It arrived like a mystical potion, crafted by unseen hands, luring me into a world where I believed I would taste something ethereal. But the first sip shattered the illusion. Instead of a perfect symphony of sweet and refreshing notes, I was met with confusion—a muddled concoction that couldn’t decide what it wanted to be. Was it supposed to be tart? Smooth? A hint of citrus? A whisper of floral elegance? None of these elements emerged. Instead, it lingered on the tongue like an unresolved chord, a discordant melody that never found its harmony. A drink that looked like magic but tasted like a spell gone wrong. SoSoBa had all the makings of a culinary adventure, but instead, it was a lesson in illusion—an experience where every dish, every sip, every expectation was met with nothing but an underwhelming reality.

So I drive past this place almost every day and I had no idea it was there! It's just a little corner store but let me tell you there is nothing ordinary about this place. I have only tried the chicken fried rice so far. It's made fresh to order and it tastes amazing. It's kinda like one of those places if you know you know. While I was waiting for my food I had to have seen about a dozen people coming in ordering and picking up! This place is very good and it's probably one of the cheapest places you can go for food. I would definitely recommend to try this you will absolutely enjoy it. It is to go only they do not have anywhere to sit and eat. So either take home or eat in the car right outside. If you opt to eat it in your car be careful! It's gonna be hot!

Went to this place after seeing it on a documentary about Phoenix Black & Hispanic neighborhoods. I grabbed the 15 pcs wings (half original and the other half jalapeño) & fries. The chicken was seasoned really good however I like my chicken cooked a lil longer especially with the pieces being bigger and the fries were ok. Everything was hot and fresh…definitely will be going back to try something else! Thanks for serving the community for 82 or 83 years

Basilic Vietnamese Kitchen is a hidden gem in Phoenix! I tried the chicken curry, which was rich, flavorful, and easily enough to share between two people. The cozy ambiance made it a perfect spot for our community neighborhood meeting, offering a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere. The service was attentive, and the staff made sure we had everything we needed. If you’re looking for authentic Vietnamese cuisine and a great place to connect, Basilic is a fantastic choice. We’ll definitely be back!

This place was super disappointing. They were supposed to have lots of vegetarian options but we're out of vegan broth. Their fried rice is $19 and comes with seafood, chicken, and beef. They said they could do it with just vegetables, but still wante /d to charge me $19 because "bok choy is expensive. " What a ripoff. The interior was nice and the server was friendly enough, but overall I was dissatisfied. Not authentic, unprepared, and unreasonably expensive.
