Showing 1057 - 1078 of 2300There’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 […]
Kiss Pollos Estilo Sinaloa is located inside a tiny brick storefront on a quiet residential street in south-central Phoenix, an unassuming spot that just happens to be dishing out some of the juiciest pollo asado, or charcoal grilled chicken, around town. Sure, grilled chicken may not seem particularly exciting, but it achieves its full smoky, […]
This place was once the crash-and-burn Vatra, but now it’s something really marvelous. Namely, a place where one can order delicious Tempura-Battered Tofu with mixed vegetables and buckwheat soba noodles. Really, where else? Also tasty is the half a roasted Herb Chicken with crispy potatoes and vegetables, and the delicious Steak Frites, a ten-ounce hangar […]
Built, like some many Phoenix stores, in a renovated home, Kitchen Switchin’ is a north Phoenix consignment boutique full of gently used bakeware, appliances, cookbooks, and almost anything else your inner chef might need. Kitschy pieces in vintage color schemes such as pistachio, baby pink, and avocado sit next to covetable brands like Le Creuset […]
Over the past three years, Kitsune Brewing Co. has cemented itself as a neighborhood staple and a draw for craft beer fans. Owner Tyler Smith and his brew team have stretched their offerings beyond the beers that they opened with – including Forager hazy IPA and Fox Diver Brown – to include a regularly rotating […]
The sound of passionate karaoke performances drifts out of the south end of Park Central. The energy is magnetic at Kobalt. It feels like everyone in the room knows each other as the predominantly LGBTQ+ patrons cheer, encouraging anyone to sing their hearts out to show tunes, ’80s ballads and pop songs from the early […]
Though you won’t be able to swing by just any old time, this shop on Grand Avenue can’t be beat when it comes to vintage craft supplies. Hell, it’s one of our favorite places for vintage shopping in the whole city. Owner Beatrice Moore has spent a long time collecting all sorts of bobbles and […]
A satisfying, cozy Thai café on the city’s north side, Krua (“kitchen” in Thai) serves up nearly 80 menu items of traditional dishes as well as several more uncommon specialties. Some of the flavors are more cautious than you might prefer, but you can depend on the meats to be tender, the vegetables fresh, and […]
This small, unassuming central Phoenix restaurant has developed a reputation as a neighborhood hangout. Its mostly Mexican clientele appreciate the affordable, authentic food of southern Mexico – more richly seasoned than flat-out spicy – plus a few good ol’ American classics. First-timers should save themselves the trouble of navigating its vast menu and order up […]
This elote y neveria (corn and ice cream shop) also serves several tasty versions of raspados de fruta (snow cones), perfect for cooling off during the warm season.
As its name says, part of the restaurant is a mariachi hall. It’s unbelievably packed with musicians and dancers on weekend nights. But the other half of the place is a first-rate Mexican restaurant, specializing in seafood. Garlic fish is outstanding, regional soups are gripping, and when the menu says spicy, it ain’t kidding.
