| - This is, hands down, the best Chinese food I've had in Arizona! One thing I do, when trying new ethnic foods, is look around the restaurant to see if native peoples are are ALSO Eating The Food.....if they are you've found a Winner....if not, you should RUN!
This restaurant is located in the Chinese Cultural Center and is basically the "China Town" of Arizona. The bad reviews ( weird meat like chicken having a bad flavor and odd texture ) is inaccurate. There are 2 restaurants, one on the left and one on the right of the Ranch Market, when you enter the plaza. The one on the LEFT is Beijing Garden and always taste Great...the one on the Right is Szechwan Palace that people always seem to confuse with Beijing Garden...that restaurant has the weird tasting food! ....also, for some reason... When you go to phxchinatown.com and look at restaurants Beijing Garden is not shown...?
Now that the Facts are straight, let's get to the review :)
I always get the sweet & sour chicken / steak in black pepper sauce / pot stickers / crab rangoons and they are AMAZING! The staff is always friendly and when placing an order that large it never takes more than 15 minutes to be ready for pick up. Also, the serving sizes are HUGE and you'll almost always have leftovers for 2+ meals. For 5-15 bucks you won't find better food at a better price. Couple all the positives with the fact that the architecture is Cool and landscaping Beautiful you couldn't ask for a better experience. Finally, there's nothing like eating left over Chinese Food (Pizza is a tie with Chinese in my opinion Lol)
So the next time you pass the stir fry section in your local supermarket or see a commercial for Panda Express just know this.....you deserve Better! ;)
