Phoenix Food Boutique - South Pasadena — Restaurant in South Pasadena

Parking can be a little crazy depending on the time but for the most part, I can always find a spot. Coming in at night, it can be easy to miss the entrance so look carefully!

I recommend using cash because I got double charged one time for someone else’s order. They ended up refunding me but I could have easily missed that on my credit card statement.

I looooove Phoenix’s mango desserts! Absolutely the best!! From their silken mango tapioca with condensed milk to their mango tapioca drink and their mango tofu 🤤🤤🤤🤤 absolutely the best!! I always make the mistake of thinking the tofu’s in their little fridge is already flavored but they label it to show you what they can flavor it as. For instance, I wanted the mango tapioca with condensed milk tofu and she told me to grab the silken tofu with ginger. She clarified to me that it does not have the ginger taste (I don’t like ginger) and sure enough, she flavored it with everything I wanted so it was delicious!!!

Their black sesame tofu is also super delicious😋😋

As you can tell, I only come here for dessert. I have tried the food and it’s okay. But their desserts are...

The lady at the cashier had such a bad attitude. I asked for an add-on of boba to my drink, and she asked me to repeat myself multiple times (not just 2 or 3 times, like legit almost 10 times), even though I spoke clearly and loudly, and it was literally just milk tea with a boba add-on. She gossipped to the other worker that I was "ordering weird" multiple times for choosing add-ons. And then she had the other lady take my order instead. Literally why is she even working here if she didn't know the menu??? Why even bother offering add-ons in the menu???

This wasn't the first time that the workers here were super rude. In the previous times that I came here, they would literally have such bad atttitude to everyone. I normally don't bother leaving a bad review because maybe it was just a one time thing, but after coming here multiple times, I realized that this resturant is so disfunctional. The food is never fresh, not even warm, too oily and salty, they always get your order wrong, and have...

I ordered takeout thru uber and the food was great! We had the coconut mango rolls which are 10/10, very great and fresh flavor and bigger portion than I expected. Definitely recommend. We also had the shrimp egg rolls which were nice and crispy and were loaded with delicious shrimp that was not overcooked. Will be ordering this again next time. The young chow fried rice with Chinese sausage, eggs, and green onions did not disappoint. It was a nice big portion (it fed me, my boyfriend, and toddler). The only small downside is that is was a bit oily, but I recommend trying this dish. The stir fry noodles with beef brisket had good flavor and plenty of meat. The meat tasted fresh and soft. Lastly, the braised beef stew noodle soup was the greatest dish we got from here. The broth has a hint of ginger and comes with bokchoy and the beef which were cooked to perfection. It tasted very fresh and authentic. I definitely recommend this dish if it is...
