Cantonese Restaurants near Scottsdale, AZ

“Had a truly excellent meal at Liz Modern Asian when I was traveling to Scottsdale. We were shopping at the new Lego store across the street and jumped in about an hour before they closed. Not being a huge fan of chain restaurants, we were delighted to find that this was a family-owned establishment.

The food was excellent and Liz herself came out to chat with us to make sure that everything lived up to our expectations. They even brought out a big bowl of fresh, homemade dumplings for our table to share. They were delicious. After chatting for a short while, we made our way out and, as we were leaving, Liz asked us if we wanted to wait a few moments she'd send us home with some fresh beef dumplings (the ones we had were pork)! Unfortunately, we were flying out the next day and couldn't take them.

I would absolutely go visit with Liz and her family again the next time I'm in Scottsdale and I'd recommend you do the same if you're in the area. And def try the dumplings--they were epic.“

“We tried Chef J’s again because we saw that they had a grand reopening and had changed to a Dim Sum and Hot Pot restaurant. We were excited to try the menu because we’ve always wanted to try the dumplings and boa buns but never could decide on what to commit. This change allowed us to sample a lot of things we wouldn’t normally get and the staff was very attentive. It’s a little confusing, but essentially the menu shows a lunch price and a dinner price but you can do a the All You Can Eat, or you can order separately, as well as specialties or chefs entrees (which specialties and chefs entrees are not included in AYCE). But there were so many options to try, and that was a lot of fun to do as a family.

If you want to do hot pot, just make sure to mention that up front as they will seat you in a different are to enjoy that. If you’ve been here before, we recommend you give it another go for this different dining experience for lunch or dinner.“

“Finally I've found a decent Asian restaurant. The food is hot until you finish. You can taste the wok. Good food, good vibe.“

“I kid you not I bought this food in Phoenix. We drove to a friends house and had also waited 10 minutes then drove back home to Tucson. The food is still hot!!!!!!!!! LIKE WHAT?????? Even under the ac and cold nighttime breeze. Absolutely delicious. I love to get hot and sour soup wherever I go and this one was just perfect. My boyfriend loved his twice cooked pork. The service when we got the food was also fast. Came out in 5 minutes“

“Best dim sum in Phoenix. Would drive the 30 minutes again.“
