Golden Pheonix

Welcome to go-gin-chow restaurant reviews. Tonight I will be giving my review on a local Tampa place called The Golden Phoenix. It is a Chinese/Vietnamese restaurant that serves up some good food that I think is priced reasonable. The pho soup, which is a Vietnamese noodle soup, which there are a good amount of  different types of pho soups to pick from. The soup comes in a nice big bowl and for a little extra money you can add more ingredients and the broth is very good and everything is fresh.  The menu is pretty extensive so you have plenty of authentic Chinese/Vietnamese dishes to choose from, each one delicious in its own way. The atmosphere is nice there are a lot of bright colors that catch the eye but it's not overwhelming. Clean bathrooms, but small.  They have a good assortment of condiments to help you put your own little twist to enhance the  flavors of your food, but try not to over do it then that's on  you. They also have good dim sum.  Personally I really didn't like the curry squid it was bland and the curry that the squid  was served in was too watery there for I would not recommend it, but everything else was appetizing and gave your taste buds a wake up call. Now on to the service. The service can very from one visit  to the next so its not really consistent but the food is so if you want good Chinese food and your in the area of a Dale Malebry north of Raymond James  stadium and you don't mind getting ok service that can vary then this is your place for you. Take it from me,  I am ninja you wont be disappointed.  Eat well. Let me know your thoughts. Thank you.
