    This restaurant has the most extensive menu in existence. It has a Chinese menu, a Thai menu, a Low Fat menu, a Vegetarian menu, and the most wonderful thing--a Gluten Free Menu!

    About 1 in 133 people have a gluten intolerance yet restaurants generally don't even know what it is or which of their products contain gluten.

    The few restaurants that do have gluten free menus are usually big chain restaurants. It stinks to always have to go to franchises to eat. Many times the servers at these restaurants still don't know anything about the gluten free offerings so you run the risk of having food that is cross contaminated.  Also these big box restaurants usually don't even have very many gluten free offerings.

    The Golden Phoenix has an extensive and delicious gluten free menu and the servers and proprietors seem to have knowledge about gluten intolerance.

    I also like that they bring you hot tea. That's a sign of a good Chinese restaurant.

    Very good chicken PadThai. Last two meals here (both take out) were massive improvements over past meals. Definitely coming back. Decent gluten free selections too.

    Let me preface this review by saying that my family has been going to Golden Phoenix for at least 15 years.  We used to go every Friday night, and every holiday, birthday, you name it, we were there.  My mom was saying that they probably spent about $600-$800 every six months there (family size is 4).  They have always had the best food and waiters.  Then there was a new owner that took over... that is when we stopped going.  

    My mom, sister and I decided to go there for lunch this past weekend (Sunday) and as always, the food was wonderful.  It was lunch on a Sunday, so they weren't busy at all, and there was sufficient service staff.  The reason that we will never return to this place again, is when the owner (yes, the OWNER) brought us our main dishes (which everyone shares) and took each of our big spoons, that we had already used to eat with, and stuck one in each of the main dishes for serving spoons.  We were shocked!!!  It is a good thing we were all family and it really didn't matter to us, but in general- disgusting!  It really doesn't take much to use three clean spoons for the main dishes... you're gonna have other dishes to wash anyway!  So, we will never return because the new owner really is a stingy man who only cares about how much money and time he can save by cutting corners and not really thinking about his customer base.  Their food is still wonderful (props to the chefs!) but with that kind of service... I won't eat my food with dirty silverware.  I mean if they do that, what other corners are they cutting???
