My boyfriend and I visit the Phoenix every time we are in Chicago and it never disappoints.

There are no reservations... more

I don't recall being to a Chinese restaurant this bad! The orange chicken, Mongolian beef, and moo shoo had no flavor what so ever.

Dim sum is pretty good, but not really worth the price when Shui Wah is so close. more
