We've been coming to George and Sons for about 10 years and have never been disappointed.It's a family business, and the staff is always very friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is extremely nice inside.The most important thing, of course, is the food. I've been stuck on their Honey Walnut Shrimp for years....amazing!...and the Pepper Beef, MuShu Pork, Lettuce Wraps...all delicious. Do not skip the Pu Pu Platter (presented with a small flaming tabletop hibachi) or the yummy Spring Rolls. My husband and son have also enjoyed the lunch buffet from time to time, and for $6.95- I think- it's one of the best values in town.The last time we were in, there was a little combo playing (sixties oldies mostly) and everyone in the house and bar were having a great time.I hope George and Sons will always be here!

I had a great experience at George and Son's this Saturday. As i entered the room, live music was playing. Everyone in the restaurant seemed to enjoy themselves as they ate their food and listened to the music. The hostess seated us at a booth and immediately, the waitress came to ask us for our drinks. The waitress gave us some great recommendations on the menu. She suggested we try the Honey Shrimp Walnut, Kung Pao Chicken, Chicken Lettuce Wrap, and House Fried Rice. The dishes came out after 15 minutes and the service great! We end up eating all our food because it was so delicious. I have tried different Chinese restaurants throughout Phoenix over these four years and I think their food quality is better than Flo's and PF Changs. I would definitely come back again in the future.

I love the food. I love the ambience. I love George. I love the prices. I don't like waiting so long to get my meal. 10 min to order and another 30 minutes for the food to arrive. 40 to 45 minutes from being seated to eating is too long.

George & Son's has one of the best Buffets in the Valley!A group of us came here for the Lunch Buffet last Thursday. Our merry Yelp'ers included our ring leader Rand H, along with Robyn N, Mike C, Norm R and Arlin B. For some reason, I thought the place opened at 11 am (it's 11;30) and arrived early. On the plus side, it afforded me the opportunity of watching as they setup. It was impressive.One of the weaknesses of the buffet concept is the inability of keeping food hot and fresh. Chinese food, particularly Schezuan which has thicker sauces lends itself well to this steam-warming method.WHAT MAKES GEORGE & SON'S SPECIAL? It is their method of preparing and putting out a only small amount of food at one time. Though they have a setup for eight dishes, which is always in use. They are constantly rotating the food items, as the Cook prepares more. Look at the photos and you'll see the smaller, more manageable size. Given the nearly dozen or so dinners, in addition to our group, nothing was left for very long anyway.I started with the tossed salad, with a light ranch dressing. Next, I tried the Tofu Vegetable Soup(photo) which was outstanding and delicious. The flavor was subtle and I left wanting to order some for later.Next to the buffet, they had some deep fried onion rings, mushroom, and other veggies in a beer, rather than tempura batter. It too had a nice flavor.As for the entrees, I found the Sauteed Shrimp and Onions(photo), and the Honey Chicken(photo) that stuck to the top of my mouth the best. As you took the Honey Chicken, you could see the silk thread like strands of honey attached to the serving tongs. You cannot get anything fresher than that! But, everything they made was very good.The bill came to $9.75 before tip, but including taxes. As I mentioned in my Yelp Tip, if you come here and check-in, you will get 15% off your next meal. A nice incentive.The restaurant came close to Five Stars. But in the end, I felt the Four Star, "Yay! I'm a fan" was more on the mark. Keep in mind, the Lunch Buffet starts at 11:30, Monday through Friday!Enjoy!

Had lunch here with Arlin B.George M.Robyn N.Norm R and Rand H. Well for a small Chinese buffet (17 items) it was a pretty good buffet almost everything I ate was above average except the honey chicken was to sticky and the fish was ok but on the plain side.My only gripe was the only dessert offered was an almond cookie and that cost them the fifth star..But yes this is a good chinese buffet and I look forward to a return visit.

Today I had one of my best dining experiences in the Valley, and it was a lunch buffet - and this is what the review is for; the establishment is mainly a full-service restaurant. Of course it helped that I was with delightful company - fellow yelpers Rand, Mike, Robyn, Arlin, and Georgie. It also helped that the restaurant has a cozy atmosphere, very friendly service, and a pleasant contemporary vibe. But it was the food that totally blew me way - it was so good! There were not as many items as you would see in a super buffet, and this restaurant is not trying to be one. But every item that they do serve is cooked to tasty perfection - the succulent slices of beef, the crisp stir-fried vegetables, the crunchy spring rolls and onion rings, the awesome egg flower tofu soup, the best fish fillets I've ever had ... everything was superb! I'm normally pretty good at portion control when dining out, but that went out the window this time around. It was so worth the long drive from my area in northwest Phoenix. Thanks, Rand, for introducing me to this stellar place!

Just not impressed. Low quality ingredients in my opinion. Rubbery chicken and beef, high prices for the quality. Have been here twice, and there will be no third visit. Sorry George, but you need to improve your food quality.

Service was wonderful. Phad Thai not that great.

I recently moved to the Valley and was excited to spend my first Christmas with friends and flip flops. For lunch, we went to Jasmine Tokyo. It. Was. Awesome! They had a wide range of sushi and a nice selection on the buffet. It was overpriced, but it was Christmas. We left there to meet our friend Jim for snacks and cocktails. He wanted to do an "early dinner".He made reservations here. Good thing... Place was packed! I guess all Asian places were packed on Christmas. We weren't hungry, but had a few beers and ordered a few items on the limited menu. I read on Foursquare the chow mein was good. It comes with chicken, shrimp, and pork. The chicken was the highlight of the dish. VERY impressed with the flavor and the price point was average. Oh, and we ordered some spring rolls. The mustard is HOT. You've been warned.We had a great time, and the service was great. Before you leave, head over to the bar and ask. It's not that bad. (You'll know what I mean.) I would highly recommend this place to friends and family!

My wife and I live around the corner, hadn't eaten here in a few months. We got food for take out, Mongolian beef,kung po chicken,pad Thai noodles. Mongolian beef, there were more white onions then scallions and it was very bland. Kung po chicken,lots of white meat chicken the whole dish only had one peanut and the taste of this dish was non existent. Very very Blah... Pad Thai noodles,the dish was dry and came out of the container in one giant clump. It tasted like plain noodles, i was glad I had peanut sauce in the fridge to,add to it. Then it was edible .... We will not be going back to G@S.. Very disappointed !!!! From now on it will be Jade palace on 92nd street. For take out Asian !!!! Do yourself a favor go elsewhere !!!!

I first found out about George & Sons when they catered lunch at my place of work a couple years ago (I later came to find out that it was George himself dishing out the food, which I thought was a nice touch). After spending a long time on my to-try list, I finally decided to pay the restaurant a visit just a few months ago. I have gone back a number of times and it might be my favorite Chinese food place in the area. Some of my favorite dishes are Dragon & Phoenix, Thai Basil Chicken, Crispy Spicy Pork, and Pepper Beef. The only dish I've had that I wasn't crazy about was George's Bird Nest.It's never been very busy when I've gone, so the wait staff has been very attentive. In fact, on either my first or second time there, the waitress brought out another dish on-the-house after we finished our meals. Apparently, it was a new entree or appetizer they were testing out. Every time I go back, I check to see if it's been added to the menu, and in fact the first time I ordered the crispy spicy pork that's what I thought I was getting (it was deep-fried, spicy pork bites -- delicious, but not cooked in sauce like the entree currently on the menu which is great in its own right). Hopefully one day that dish makes its way onto the menu, though. Also on the topic of service, the last time I visited, George spent most of the time we were there fraternizing with a large party of elderly people, pouring drinks for them, etc. It was nice to see that level of service.I'm surprised by the number of poor reviews that are on here, but it appears those customers ordered dishes I've yet to try, so I guess I've just been lucky to choose the right meals.Overall, great food at an affordable price with a welcoming atmosphere.

If you're looking for understated Chinese food without the lowest-common-denominator food of a corporate chain, George & Sons is where it's at in Scottsdale. Pretty much everything they offer is great, and their pot stickers and chicken friend rice are our "Must Order" list whenever we go. They consistently offer either an online coupon or Yelp check-in deal, so be sure to come prepared. Be sure to get to know George--yes, that George--because he's a hoot.

It's possible that George & Son's has slipped lately, but from my experience three stars is generous. They were still moderately busy on a Thursday evening, but that won't last if their food quality doesn't improve over what my wife and I were served.Take, for example, that Chinese staple Crab and Scallop bake (appetiser). I wondered how they would give a Chinese touch to a dish like that and I found out -- they didn't. I couldn't find any crab, just small bay scallops, maybe a bit of cheese and bread crumbs, and tons of salt, in a filling that might have been mayonaise. It did have one unusual ingredient however -- sand ... lots of sand! To the cook: please rinse well before using.Portions were generous and prices were typical of neighborhood Chinese restaraunts ($10-$13 for an entree). They appear to use good ingredients but cook them indifferently. For example, the Orange Chicken used nice size chunks of white meat chicken, but they were fried in a crust that charitably could be called undistinguished (flour and baking powder?). The orange sauce was mild, almost tasteless, with no hint of acidity. The Sizzling Pepper Beef had some nice tender pieces of beef and some that were very chewy. The salt was evident but the pepper less so.Service was very spotty -- the appetizers took 20 minutes to come out, but the main courses were right on their heels. It was friendly, however.Bottom line: this is just a neighborhood Chinese restaurant, not terrible but not particularly good either.

I really wanted to like this place. With good experiences at other Chinese restaurants in the area (Flo's, Ling & Louie's, etc), mostly positive Yelp reviews, and a vote of confidence from a friend of mine, I was eager to try out George and Son's. Unfortunately, the expectation didn't meet up with reality.I called ahead and made a reservation, which seemed to be a good idea, even though we were going early on a Thursday evening. It turned out to be a smart move, as there were several groups waiting for seats when we walked in. We were quickly seated, given menus and water, and then left to peruse the food selections. For twenty minutes.Now, I don't mind being given a little extra time to look over the offerings at a new place, but when I've been able to review everything twice, pick out the different font choices, and play "find the typo" on the menu, it's been too long. When our waitress finally came by, she spoke to us with an almost-indecipherable accent, which made it difficult for us to figure out what she was saying about the food, kitchen, or what have you. What I was able to interpret was that if I wanted to get a (as in one) veggie spring roll as an appetizer, it would take twenty minutes. Exactly why it would take twenty minutes, I don't know, but that did seem a little absurd.We ordered our entrees (citrus chicken for my friend, chicken chow mein for me) and a pot of tea. When the tea came, the waitress gave some kind of warning, which we later determined was along the lines of, "we just put the bag in, this will have to steep for a few minutes." After about 15 minutes of steeping, it was still very weak.The portions on the food were generous; I definitely had enough left over to make a good-sized lunch the next day.When I try a new restaurant, I pick a dish that I can get at almost any restaurant of that type (eggplant parmesan at Italian places, pastrami on rye at delis, and so on), since it's usually a good litmus test for the restaurant itself. If they can handle the basic, less adventurous fare, that And while the chicken chow mein was decent, it reminded me of chow mein that I'd had at AA Wok on 32nd Street, where it costs less than half as much. For the price, location, and reputation, I expected more. Also, the brown rice I ordered on the side came with a $2 surcharge, something that I didn't see on the menu.Overall, George and Son's was serviceable, if not remarkable food. But the overall experience and price have all but ensured that I won't be coming back, especially with the other options available in the area.Also, my friend got a fortune-less fortune cookie. I'm pretty sure that's a metaphor for this place.

Simply put, I love this place!!! The food is fantastic, cooked to order and not overloaded with sodium. The wait staff is friendly and accomodating. You must try it. ...?

We usually get take out and enjoy the food at home, but our out of town guests wanted to go OUT! They thoroughly enjoyed the food and dining experience. The following year our same guests wanted to return. Plenty of food, great service and I ...?

This is a local favorite. The food is good and the pot stickers are definately a must have. The best part about the restaurant is the owner's pride in the product he delivers. ...?

Not the cheapest meal in town, but certainly one of the tastiest. And Geroge, the owner, is their to please, whether it is your first time their, or your 10th. ...?

We really enjoyed our dinner at George & Sons. It's kind of a small restaurant, so you may have to wait, but it was worth it. We really enjoyed our dinner. ...?

up in New York and spent most of my adult life in San Francisco, so I am spoiled rotten by great, plentiful, *cheap* Chinese food. I've looked long and hard for a Chinese restaurant in Scottsdale that satisfied my high expectations, and George and ...?
