Phoenix Tree Garden Cafe

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.<br/ <br/ 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.<br/ <br/ 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.  <br/ <br/ 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 !
