Golden Buddha offers one of the more impressive Cantonese/Mandarin menus in town, but we love it best for its dim sum, the Chinese brunch served with tea that features endless small plates of everything from shrimp dumplings and barbecued pork buns to deep-fried sesame balls and fried chicken feet. Everything is super-fresh and appetizing, and […]
From the name, you might assume this family-owned Chinese restaurant makes the best egg rolls in town. They’re pretty good, and yes, they’re fried to a nice golden brown. But our favorite item on the menu is the beef spareribs. Order up a plate and you’ll get four juicy, tasty ribs that are covered in […]
One of the few places in the Valley where you can get dim sum, small Chinese appetizers that come to your table on an endless stream of carts. This place serves an outstanding variety that requires multiple visits. Look for the carts hauling scallop dumplings, fried eggplant, shrimp rice noodles and Chinese greens. Dim sum […]
Chinese food in the West Valley peaks with Great Wall Cuisine, a spacious dim sum hall where small tins of food trundle around on carts and every meal feels like an event. In the classic dim sum tradition, the food is Cantonese. Diners point to carts for Cantonese staples like barbequed duck with crisp, lacquered […]

Located in the corner of an otherwise uninspiring strip mall, Henry’s Private Kitchen doesn’t look like much from the outside. But upon entering you’ll find a medium-sized dining room filled with large round tables, each fitted with a tabletop lazy susan. The menu offered options like Taiwanese Bamboo Salad, Three Cup Pork Feet, Taiwanese Tofu, […]
A meal at Hong Kong Asian Diner in Tempe can feel like eating at your favorite aunt’s house. That is, if your aunt owned a Chinese restaurant that served expertly executed Cantonese cuisine. This dated but welcoming Tempe restaurant owned by Choi and Bai Kuang offers a wide selection of harder-to-find Chinese dishes including rich […]
The International House of Food, or the IHOF, is a small neighborhood caf
A cheap, reliable ethnic storefront, offering tasty Vietnamese fare. The goi cuon — shrimp, pork, greenery and noodles wrapped in rice paper — are superb. Noodle dishes are appealing, and so is the crunchy lemongrass chicken. For a caffeine-sugar high, finish up with filtered coffee dripped over sweetened condensed milk.
There’s arguably no sweeter family in the Chinese take out game than the one that runs King Wong. While we love supporting their family business, the restaurant’s absolutely gigantic delivery area, cheap deals, and monster portions don’t hurt either. Twice cooked pork, which just means double the tasty breading, is a favorite for lazy nights […]

Is it possible that we can love a restaurant more than we love Loving Hut? We think not. That’s because this super chain does something with gourmet vegan cuisine we can’t find anyplace else: they turn wholesome ingredients into a repast that’s not only good for us, but tastes amazing, too. Currently the fastest-growing vegan […]
This sparse but tidy home of Cantonese cooking in Glendale comes courtesy of Kitty and Kwok Pat, who have been part of the Valley’s Chinese restaurant scene for over 40 years. With more than 100 items in their Chinese menu as well as several specials (listed in Chinese) on dry erase boards covering the restaurant’s […]

This youthful, hidden-away gem of Sichuan cuisine in Tempe features an abundance of boldly flavored and expertly prepared scarlet sauces, spicy meats, and dishes smacked with the tingling, numbing sensation of Sichuan peppercorns. Start with satisfying dandan noodles, wontons in chili sauce, and garlick-y pork belly then move on to exceptional dishes of Kung Pao […]
Stark, no-frills Chinese eatery with a wide selection of Cantonese, Mandarin, and Szechwan classics, as well as a few items you don’t always see, like abalone with sea cucumber and creamed corn chicken soup. (We don’t suggest you try those together, by the way.) Not destination dining, but worth a shot if you live in […]
Don’t be fooled by its once-grand appearance. Inside, this family-owned Chinese restaurant in central Phoenix is alive with authentic, flavorful Cantonese fare courtesy of Jian Yu, who was a chef in his hometown of Kaiping, a city in the Guangdong province in southern China, for over 32 years. Forget the Americanized menu and value buffet […]
