Golden Phoenix Restaurant

This gem is located on the north side, right past Morse road and Cleveland Ave. This establishment has no connection to the China Phoenix located on the east side of Columbus. The best way for me to explain the Golden Phoenix (also known as “The Phoenix”) is an urban Chinese restaurant with good drinks and quick food for the mature crowd! The spicy wings are the most popular entree on the menu, consisting of 10-12 full wings fried and topped with spicy oil sauce, jalapeños, and green onions. The spicy lo mein and spicy chicken fried rice are great additions (please see photos for live footage). A great place to stop and grab a bite after work or on the weekends. There is usually nice R&B or soul music playing at the front of the bar. There is also space to rent for events and / or parties. For two orders of spicy wings, a side of spicy lo-mein and a cocktail, the bill came to a total of $52.

I have had a hell of a time finding good Chinese and I drove my butt 35 mins to this place and as of right now, this is my go to place. We ordered 77$ in food, you can see the whole order in the photos. We had mongolian beef, sweet n sour pork, shrimp fried rice, crab rangoon, egg rolls, chicken mei fun, and honey chicken. Lets talk about the positives: the sweet n sour is the first place i have found around here that makes it with the pineapple and peppers to flavor it, it's not just red goo. The hot mustard(ask for the homemade!) was awesome! It dang near shot my sinuses to space. I've only found sauces like this in Chicago, so I'm super happy to find this. The mei fun had a ton of flavor and came in a huge portion. The mongolian beef was really tasty but they didn't even fill up the container, for the price and size of the container it should have been packed tight. The shrimp fried rice was packed in well and had tons of shrimp. The sweet and sour pork and honey chicken were both really good as well. My only complaint for the sweet n sour pork is the container was barely full. Most places i order this from fill it all the way up where the lid of the container is usually taped up to hold all the meat in.. The crab rangoon looked really good until i opened it, as you can see in the photo, it's kinda empty. The egg rolls were really good and had a nice flavor, and didn't taste of old oil.

The food was delicious, tasted fresh and the rice had flavor. Shrimp toast was good and crunchy. The drinks were generously poured. Our bill was not expensive for the portions we ordered. Tastes way better than China Phoenix on Refugee Rd (🤮) So far this is the best Chinese food we've had on 4 years.

Best crab rangoon in the city. The food and drinks are great. I’ve been going here 10+ years, their service has always been great. I value restaurants that can be consistent throughout the years. Btw, they have a buffet available on some holidays.

Food was super fresh and homemade. Some of the best crab Rangoon and eggrolls in the city. The main dishes were equally delightful and not over greasy. I do wish they used only white meat chicken breast for the general tso’s , but the breading and flavor is amazing. Service was excellent, and the drinks are reasonably priced and very well-made. Highly recommend this staple of Columbus.
