Editorial Review for Sing High – by Nikki Buchanan
In Short
The longest continuously operating restaurant in Phoenix, Sing High is housed in a series of utilitarian rooms, but the decor is not why hungry downtown working stiffs frequent this place. They come for the good food, the quick service and the reasonable prices that have kept Sing High going strong for over 70 years. The chop suey, chow mein, Technicolor sweet-and-sour pork and fried rice are all reason enough to make the trip to the restaurant. But a favorite mainstay is the egg foo young: thick, eggy patties smothered in rich, dark gravy and sprinkled with green onions.

I was very skeptical after reading all the reviews of people claiming Sing High is horrible, but I also read allot of very positive reviews. Since I work less than a 5 min walk from Sing High, I decided to take the leap of gastronomical faith and roll the dice on Sign High for lunch one day. While the Decor is definitely old school and no-frills, I was greeted promptly and seated immediately. A friendly waitress came and got my drink order, and I was given a nice large, fresh glass of ice tea immediately. On my way in, I glanced at the daily special and saw that it was Yu-Shan Pork. I decided that the daily special should be a good judge of the restaurant and ordered it with friend rice and added a egg roll. The massive egg roll came immediately and was piping hot, fresh out of the fryer. The egg roll was very good, with tasty fillings and lots of meat, albeit that the egg roll was slightly more greasy than I would have preferred. I enjoyed it with the sweet and sour and mustard that was brought with it. Within about 5 minutes, my Yu-Shan Pork was delivered, piping hot, steaming and fragrant. The dish was excellent, with tender strips of thinly sliced pork in a sweet and spicy brown sauce with lots of fresh vegetables, bell peppers, carrots, onions, and several kinds of mushrooms. My only complaint was that the fried rice was very basic and did not appear to have egg , green onion, or peas and carrots as I have come to love. Service was quick and attentive, and I was checked on several times during my visit. My bill came quickly and I was in and out in under 30 minutes, a near record for most downtown restaurants. Overall, a great place and I will be visiting much more often now.

It was my wifes birthday, she asked for chinese food so I looked up this restaurant in city searc to find it was rated very high. We chose this to be the birthday place. We were very disappointed, the food was bland and colorless, the PU PU platter was full of grease, and the 4 different entrees we ordered were a disaster. The restaurant looks like an old Denys from the 40s and hasnt been updated since. Bad food, bad atmosphere, service was nice (when she wasnt dropping things) We will never return.
Cons: everything
