“ Was amazing food and so nice with so many gluten free options for the Celiacs in my family! The only thing I would say I was disappointed in was the fact that they only served bottled water! Not as much for the expense but I think it is important to avoid bottled water and the industry it serves! Great service and super food! ”
“ The service was amazing as was the food! I have one child with not common dietary restrictions. They went through the menu and offered ideas of what she could have and other dishes they could, and did, modify for her. The food wasn't made from the same sauces that every other Chinese restaurant uses. These were much better! I've had traditional Chinese food, and this resembles that, more than the Americanized Chinese food we are all used to. Conversation with the staff was very nice! They are welcoming and there to have a great experience with you. This is perfect as it makes the dining experience very pleasant and memorable. Thank you for a great experience! ”
“ We went at the end of the night for the all-you-can-eat buffet. The folks there were so great!! So friendly, excellent selection and they were so gracious and brought us out fresh dishes of the food that they had run out of. They even brought out desserts for us. We'll be going back for sure. It was our first time there and I'd recommend this place. ”
“ This is a long standing debate around town in Ladysmith. - who serves the best Chinese food in Ladysmith. Tonight, we decided to check out one of the town’s favourites, The Phoenix. It certainly didn’t disappoint. We ordered the Chicken Chow Mein, Pork Fried Rice, Beef and Broccoli, and the Crispy Chili Beef. All the dishes were tasty, meat and noodles weren’t dry, the broccoli was cooked just right and the sauce was very light and yummy. We are now huge fans of the Crispy Chili Beef, not overly spicy but still had a nice kick. There was enough food for four adults or for two very famished adults. I would consider this to be Canadian Western Chinese Food. Looking forward to checking out the other dishes on the menu. ”
“ Great spot in Ladysmith and lots of Gluten Free options which has been so awesome for my wife who is a Celiac. We drive from Nanaimo for takeout and always have tons of leftovers so great value as well! ”
“ Ordered from Phoenix after our usual restaurant not only lost our order but was also incredibly rude about it. Phoenix was an absolute joy to deal with - pleasant, friendly and extremely polite. Customer service was amazing, including communicating with us on the progress of the order. Food was great - hot, fresh and delicious. Highly recommend. Phoenix will be our first call from now on ”
“ Wow! Ordered take out from here. Food was amazing! Everything made fresh, not just taken from a buffet as I've seen other places do. Piping hot, fresh and delicious. They even offer gluten free. The decor is a little tired but I didn't go there for that. Highly recommend ”
“ Hidden gem for Gluten Free Chinese Szechuan cuisine! Sooo good!!! My mom and I are both celiacs and enjoyed a wide variety of GF dishes including beef broccoli, ginger beef, fried rice, sweet and sour chicken, ko po shrimp and more :) The staff was very aware and accommodating for allergies the food was very high quality with no MSG and made with house made sauces. We came with a large group and everyone enjoyed their meal! ”
