About Fönix

Runner up 2026 in “Best Chinese”. “It looks so cafeteria-like when you walk in, but the food is better than its ambiance.” Fönix is a family-run restaurant now with two locations! The vegan mapo tofu is complex, studded with douchi, with the numbing sichuan peppercorn right on its heels. The twice-cooked pork is an underrated textural delight, and even the lunch buffet is a cut above the rest despite pandering to local palates.
