- It was so quiet in there you could have heard a pin drop! (It used to be packed and noisy all the time)
- There were 3 other tables taken, and the rest of the place was empty
- The waiter (I think?) was chasing people to their tables asking them what they wanted to drink before they were seated! (They actually asked Big D while he was at the buffet!)
- The food quality REALLY left something to be desired
- There was NO SUSHI!!!! WTF???
- It looked pretty run-down
Now I'm not sure if there's new management in place, or if there needs to be, but I was sorely disappointed with our visit. The whole experience was terrible!
So, does anyone know a *Good* Chinese restaurant in the Phoenix valley area? I prefer the west side, but hey, I've traveled to Boston for good sea food, so I can drive to the east side if I must!

I hear Kowloon is good ;-)
Let's not forget Orchid of Hawaii..
My favorite Asian restaurant in Phoenix is "The Bamboo Club". There are two of them that I know of, one is up at Desert Ridge the other is at the Biltmore outdoor mall (Forget the name)-Actually this one may have closed...I think they opened up in another Scottsdale location. I recommend the Lemongrass Chicken with Asparagus and the Dynasty Fried Rice. Mmm it's to die for!
My favorite Chinese (only) food (even though it's a chain) is "PF Chang's China Bistro". They have one at Scottsdale Mall and Mesa for sure and there may be more locations.
P.S. There shouldn't be Sushi at a Chinese restaurant because Sushi is Japanese.
Hey! This is Kim's younger brother just so you know. Sorry your experience was so terrbile =[. Bamboo Club is great though =]. I agree with Kim, PF Changs is a fantastic Chinese restaurant to dine in. Not Sure if there are any in Arizona, but here is some information on PF Changs on my blog- http://diversedining.blogspot.com/2007/07/pf-changs.html. It is so worth a try!
Pei Wei is great, too. It's an offshoot of PF Chang's and is more of a fast-food style (though no fries on the menu). There are a ton around Phoenix, and I recommend the Lemongrass Chicken there :)
LOL! How proper is Kim? ...favorite "Asian" restaurant... Love it!!
Thanks for all the great suggestions!
Jen: I have not heard of Kowloon or Orchid of Hawaii, but will look them up.
Kim & James: PF Chang's is great, but a little far for us.
Kim: Thanks for the lesson in 'Asian' food. This place must have been a mix, because they used to have Sushi.
Queen: I have heard of Pei Wei and will be trying it soon. There is one not too far from us. Thanks!
Dora: Nice catch up on Kim's proper-comment-posting! LOL!
Asiana Kitchen in Anthem! Hands down best Chinese/Sushi experience in years! They even have the private little rooms you can dine in! Come on up Chick!
Pei Wei's in Phoenix:
Phoenix - 7th Ave & McDowell
Phoenix - Arcadia
Phoenix - Madison
Phoenix - Bell Town Plaza
This is a must!
FYI Kim, Chinese and Sushi seems to be going together at a lot of places these days. As I mentioned, Asiana is a Chinese restaurant, but they also have the Japanese private dining rooms, and they have the traditional sushi bar and they've got nothing but compliments. I think people like both Chinese AND Sushi, and this keeps everybody happy!
