Liz Modern Asian

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.

The best BBQ chicken is juicy and tender and wok ton soup which is more like full of meat dumplings, their filling its more a meal pair with their buns😋

The food was not authentic, the orange were dry chicken tenders with sauce on side in a coffee cup. The chicken and shrimp was soggy, the rice was dry. Overall the food was not up to par.

Very helpful and welcoming customer service.

We had the Won Ton Soup and the Garlic Shrimp Noodles. The taste and flavor were spot on perfectly yummy.

After trying the Won Ton Soup, it was so amazingly good that I didn't stop eating to take the pic. So the pic you get to see is my empty dish after all the delicious soup was eaten by me.

Free parking is available on the street out front. More free parking is available in the nearby parking garage.

If you get a chance to try the dumplings, you won't regret it. Best ever!
We also got the Asian BBQ brisket and the Korean Fried Chicken. Both were flavorful and delicious. This place feels like a home cooked meal, made with real ingredients from the heart.

Highly recommend! Just wandered in for some dumpling and ended up having an amazing meal! Pork belly sticky buns were 10/10. As were the dumplings both by themselves and in the noodle soup. Noodles were so good! Banana empanada was a great surprise also! All the staff was so kind and obviously cared about the food! Very happy we stopped in!

Fried rice was really salty and oily. Asked for food to be made again and the fried rice was burnt and salty

My mom and I absolutely loved the food here! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and made with care. The service was warm and welcoming, which made the experience even better. We left full and happy—and already talking about what we want to try next time. We’ll definitely be coming back again!

Peking duck was amazing. Called ahead and they had it cooking when we came in. Staff is super friendly and the food is a wild bang for your buck.

They really took the time to bring out several extra dishes and drinks for us and were just super casual about it. Along with the fantastic food they were just great people to our group. Thank you!

Our family of 7 traveled from Co to stay in Scottsdale for a mini trip. Our kids love Chinese food and we saw the reviews and tried this out. PHENOMENAL food and service. What a sweet family. We have 5 kids and we sat outside bc the weather was great, their daughter joined us and colored with our kids. The potstickers/dumplings were one of the best we've had including the orange chicken, and the Chicken Special! TOP KNOTCH must go here. We were impressed!

Ordered the Mongolian beef and what a disappointment. $15 for fatty meat in sweet sauce with oily rice. No veggies though pictures here do have veggies served with the meal. Portion was small and presentation awful. About the vegetables-myself and another guest called this out. Guess I should have known something was up as the place was empty. Guy working there offered
them only when we called that out. By then what logic does this place have a 4.7?
