Golden Phoenix — Restaurant in Boynton Beach

Went to this place and picked up my food. $40 for some pretty basic chinese food. Employees were nice so I wouldn’t have thought anything of it. I brought my food home and this is where it goes downhill. I give my family their food and bring mine over to my desk. I take one bite and the orange chicken tasted like they dumped orange drink mix (tang) in it. I just dismissed it as one bad piece. No, no, no. The rice was overcooked and sodden in water. All of the chicken tasted like chemicals and tang. Now, I spent good money on this so I wouldn’t normally choke it down. My son would too. Nope, not possible. My whole family BARELY touched the dish. I was thinking about just letting my dog have it, but she wouldn’t even come over to try it. I take all three meals back to the “restaurant” the next day. They wouldn’t give me a dime back for a meal my whole family COULDN’T eat. Nope. She proceeded to tell me that because I didn’t call them while they were closed and couldn’t make it over to the restaurant until after work the following day that she couldn’t do anything for me. Granted, I wouldn’t have accepted new food. I wasn’t even offered. It’s sad what our society has come to. They were more upset and felt like I was attacking their ego because I didn’t like the food. Bad business. I will surely never go there again! Just eww. Orange chicken...

So this place was recommended by someone in a group on Facebook....I was really hoping for at least a decent Chinese place in my area...sadly my search continues. We ordered wonton soup, pork fried rice, garlic chicken and the ever popular General Tao's chicken. The wonton soup was just ok and the wontons were all dough and flavorless, the fried rice was ok and the best thing we had, the garlic chicken was VERY wet with boring sauce and hammered vegetables that were falling apart...lastly the General Tao's chicken, I know it is the most popular dish in Chinese take out and I am a firm believer in trying classic popular dishes at ethnic restaurants (chicken parmesan at Italian, pad Thai at Thai places, Gyros at greek, etc.) I feel that restaurants need to execute these items with that in mind. Well the General Tao's was just awfull, the chicken was frock hard nuggets of batter and there was no way to identify the chicken, the broccoli was mushy and almost sour in some odd way, the sauce tasted like ketusap with soy sauce, sugar and hoisin sauce....to add to that the rice was a paste, completely overcooked. So in the end sorry but they do not hit the...

Absolutely horrible. I ordered the Chicken, shrimp and eggplant before. I asked for no onions or peppers. I got my dinner and there were so many frozen carrots in there in that it was hardly edible. I tried again and asked please no onions peppers or carrots. Ok well the women on ths line said "what the hell"!. She said so what do you want. I said chic, shrimp, snow peas and bamboo shoots. She said ok Fine, 20 minutes. So I go to pick it up and keep in mind its $12.95 on the menu, she says that will be $16.95.!. I said excuse me NO and stated to walk away. She then started bartering the price for my food of which I basically said Screw you. As I was walking away FOODLESS she screams OK $13.95. WTH when did fast food start bargaining for cost of goods. Then the cashier pulls me to the side and says..it not me', they charge more for extra vegies..NEVER..LET ME REPEAT WILL I GO AGAIN..JUST HORRIBLE SERVICE AND THEY CHANGE THEIR PRICES EVERYTIME YOU ORDER EVEN THOUGH THE MENUE STATES THE PRICE. PS..FOOD WASNT EVEN FOOD. IT WAS OVER...
