I've been eating at The Golden Phoenix for about 18 years (since I was a kid) and I still love it.  Its family-owned, friendly and the food is always good.  I've never been for lunch, only dinner, so I can't speak of some of the not-so-good reviews it gets for lunch.  My boyfriend says its Meh, but maybe the kid in me still likes to look at the fish tanks and remember when I was just a little girl and this was my family's big-fancy-dinner-of-the-month spot.  I still love it.\n\n(I only like white meat, so I appreciate that they only use white meat chicken, if that's not authentic, then so be it.) \n\nThey have live music on certain nights and its wonderful.  They've never gotten my order wrong in 18 years, sit down or carry out, so that's saying something.  Service is 5-stars. Clean as can be. \n\nto reviewer Bill:  Are you saying its a BAD thing for a restaurant to be owned by the same people and ran the same way for 30 years?!  I'll tell ya, Lucie's & the Vig will be long gone (hint: they suck) and TexAZ and The Golden Phoenix will still be there.  There's good reason for that - a solid meal and a solid price and a well-earned good reputation. That's a GOOD thing.
