Phoenix Restaurant is a typical Hong Kong style restaurant that is frequented by a lot of people in the Markham area. So, I decided to check the restaurant with a few friends. There is a vast selection of food to choose from ranging from breakfast to lunch to tea break to dinner.
The decor is the restaurant is a bit hipster with some vibrant colours in the background. It was very pleasant to see more of a modern take on a restaurant that serves very simple dishes.
The food is very typical of what you would expect form a Hong Kong style restaurant. They take classic and home style dishes and give them a new life in which the presentation is flawless. I have not seen amazing and clean presentation of Hong Kong style dishes in a very long time. The dishes were freshly prepared and arrived in an efficient time. The drinks were a bit on the downside though since the cold Hong Kong style milk tea my friend and I had ordered was probably the worst I have drank in my life. Overall, the food is amazing and I have heard a lot of appraisal for their Hainan Chicken on Rice, which I hope I can feast on in the future.
The service was decent, the waiters were very attentive whenever we wanted more tea and when we were ready to pay for the bill since my Cantonese still needs some work.
Overall, if you want more of an upclass experience in Hong Kong style cuisine, then Phoenix Restaurant is the place to go.
