Quick info
About Golden Phoenix
Golden Phoenix is a Chinese takeaway in Liverpool at 24 Utting Ave E that also doubles as a chippy. Fish and chips sit on the menu beside salt and pepper chicken, so one order can combine a chip shop meal with a Chinese dish. Fried rice is a recurring item on the Chinese side of the menu. The kitchen opens in the evenings only, Monday to Saturday, and it is closed on Sundays. Barbecue sauce comes in a carton.

Customer Review Summary
Salt and pepper chicken draws the most attention, and reviews of it are largely critical. One reviewer calls it battered fat off cuts with no chunk of chicken, another says it tasted horrible, and a third found it ok alongside the barbecue sauce. Close behind are complaints about fried rice, described as rock hard, old and boiled, and about crispy chilli chicken, called sloppy and tasteless before it went in the bin. One longtime customer says chilli chicken arrived instead of the crispy shredded chicken they ordered, and the owner would not change it. Several describe the owner as rude, one saying he screamed at them, while another had a meal flung at them. The girls serving are called lovely. Others mention chefs smoking at the entrance and a kitchen smelling of cigarettes. A few reviews are positive. One pickup brought a chow mien full of meat, big portions and lovely prawn crackers, ready on arrival. Another reviewer, wondering if there are new owners, went twice in one week for chicken foo young, fried rice and salt and pepper chips.

“This is OUTRAGEOUS. You’re telling me I’m trying to go enjoy my Saturday evening and I get greeted by 4 SMOKERS outside the shop. Kitchen reeks of cigs and old laundry. People there might have to stop smoking. The food was very old and stale aswell”
