The Prime is a hidden gem for delicious Chinese food. Much of its business is take-out so do not mistake the open tables as a lack of business. Every time we are in PHX, we come for a meal. Don't miss the Yang Chow fried rice which includes many ingredients in the rice. The stir-fried greens, gailan, is cooked perfectly. Don't miss the Mongolian beef which is tender and flavorful. The roast duck is a special treat as few restaurants or Asian markets produce roast ducks that have such moist meat, crispy skin and a sauce that is not overly salty. Our other favorite dish is the chili fish which has fried fish fillets in a sauce that you want to hoard because it is just amazing.
If you are in a hurry, call in a take-out order. But if you dine in and are patient, the reward is a delicious meal. Service is attentive, by the one helpful woman behind the desk who is also the waitress on the floor. The restaurant is clean and the decor is simple, leaving the food to shine. Prices are fair and a good value. Prime is authentic Cantonese/ Hong Kong style cuisine that's worth a try.
