This place is BEAUTIFUL. Besides the elegantly decorated dining room with chandeliers, there is a narrow hallway which leads to a lovely garden outdoor dining area, almost like a secret garden.
Food is a little pricier than other Asian restaurants, but they were very delicious, and it is definitely more about the ambiance. The dish that I was most impressed with was the vinegar stir-fry cabbage, very unique and the sourness was refreshing. My family who are seafood lovers enjoyed the mussels which were well flavoured and generous in portion size. The biggest disappointment was the noodles - the sauce was good, but not sure if it was the kind of noodles they used, or if it was not cooked enough, it was really tough. Will probably not order that dish again.
Other than that, this is the perfect place for high tea with girl friends, a date, or even book the place out for private/intimate functions.
Nice place to eat good food. Upstairs is great to have a room for yourself. Like that's BYO too. Good Chinese. Desserts a bit weird but apart from that I enjoyed the food.
Went Friday night. Only one other couple in the front. ery quiet. The calamari & the fish cakes ere very good. Black pepper beef and pork and vegetables were enjoyed especially as the vegetable were carrot and celery and not lots of cabbage or broccoli and cauliflower. Byo an advantage. Will return but not a " rush back" place.
Phoenix Tree Garden is not a restaurant for fusion food, but one which offers varied Asian cuisines. My friends & I had an early Sunday dinner with lamb entrails soup in a hot pot - not many diners would pick, deep-fried garlic & peppered prawns with green salad, stewed lamb spare-ribs, and Assam fish fillet. The ratings at Zomato hasn't been encouraging, but we had a go anyway.
First to come was the soup; entrails included slices of heart, liver & tripe, with some rice noodle & veggie - beautifully prepared, but rarely offered in NZ. Then lamb spare-ribs with carrots & onions - again, rich in flavour & delicious. Assam sauce wasn't quite what I anticipated, but not at all bad; fish itself was a bit bland. Prawns were also done pretty well, however, plating was a bit odd. (Food - 4/5; Service - 3.5/5; Ambience - 4.5/5)
It has been raining all day! What's going on??
I've been to this place for quite a few times, the money bag is worth a try (the only one that is ...) the Tom Yum Soup is for 1/2 person! And it's $15! The cabbage was a joke ... The fish with pickled cabbage and chill was alright. Service - okay! Live music.. He played a song for us! I really wanted to give some tips but I didn't bring any cash with me sorry !!!!! Overall, nice dining environment! Good service. But! Don't expect too much for the food everybody !
Been to the Phoenix Tree Garden twice. First time I went there was with my girlfriend. The service was good and so was the food, the best thing was the setting and atmosphere. The garden was beautiful and there was a pianist playing there, very romantic.
The food was good but we both felt it was way over priced, the portions aren't great. WAY TO PRICEY.
Second time I went was for a Christmas dinner for work. We ordered heaps of dishes and was kind of disappointed with all of them. With the only exception being this mushroom dish and squid dish. My boss had been here several times and we both agreed the food wasn't very good this time.
I'm not sure I'd come back again, just too pricey. My boss said he's rather go to Shaolin Noodles, haha...
I went there with my boyfriend. It's a small restaurant but has a very good environment. It has a beautiful garden and has a pianist. It's good for couples. I ordered two dishes. The customer services are very good. They were very nice and spicy. I like spicy food. However, it has small portions and the price is very high. Average price for dish is around $25-$30. I like all except the price. Haha
FINALLY! I heard so much about this place and was really excited that we managed to get a reservation for my birthday on a Thursday night. The ambiance is very cool, I highly recommend the marquee seating in the garden. To my surprise, The Phoenix Tree Garden has live piano music on Thursday nights, it looked like something out of a movie. It definitely made my birthday a lot more enjoyable, sipping on cocktails whilst listening and relaxing to the piano playing in the background. I will definitely be coming back here and most likely on a Thursday. The service was impeccable and the food was DELICIOUS! Many thanks Phoenix Tree Garden for making my birthday so special and catering for so many guests.
A group of friends went for the high tea with discounted vouchers. We found the customer service really great, friendly and accommodating.
The setting is very nice, looks clean and is was nice to spend a winter afternoon in the covered garden area.
The food was fine, the hot chocolate was delicious. We had a great afternoon.
Went today with three friends, we had purchased vouchers for the high tea and cocktails. The venue is very nice, garden lovely, and the staff were attentive and professional.
The food was lovely, we all enjoyed the range of foods for the high tea, with a mix of savoury and sweet, and even a little salad. Unfortunately one of our party is deathly allergic to prawns, so she wasn't able to eat two of the savoury dishes, but she still felt that she had had enough to eat by the end.
I will be recommending this place to friends, and with the groupon deal it's certainly well worth the money.
Went there for dinner: the food was in good portions, reasonable priced and wide range of selections. Waitress was also very nice. I do like the mixed asian style cuisine this place offered. Will be back~
Friendly staff, good services, tasty foods, sure will dining again in there
Brilliant food and friendly service. Definitely recommend the duck pancakes - incredible! And everything else we have had has been lovely too
Tasty food and very nice decor. However, it is quite pricey for Chinese food and the wait for the food is quite long.
Great service, lovely spicy food
