Food at East Phoenix

East Phoenix serves Chinese dishes and yum cha, with breakfast, brunch and lunch all on the menu. Dishes come around on roaming carts, so you choose as they pass. One diner calls the stuffed eggplant the dish to chase, though it can be hard to get on a busy day. Vegetarian dishes are on the menu, and one visitor noted the vegetarian dim sum was replaced with mango pancakes when it ran out. Several visitors say the food is consistently good.

Yum cha on the carts

Yum cha here means waiting for the carts to reach your table and picking what looks right. Plates are large, and one visitor found they take up much of the turntable, so it helps to order with that in mind. Groups can also arrange a pre-ordered meal, which one society group used for a weekday afternoon event. The atmosphere is pleasant for a long lunch with family.
