Yes, actually, I went today!

I don't remember when it became Shining Garden, but it was something else before, and they served dim sum, if I recall correctly. Do not confuse it with Golden Phoenix. It's the place with the green tarp.

It's in a bit of an obscure plaza, if you will, so I suppose it is not mainstream and hipster approved.

I mostly liked the beef and vegetable (bok choy) with flat rice noodles - there was enough "wok hay" as they call it. I only wished for the noodles to be wider, but c'est la vie. We also had their won ton mein with beef brisket which was pretty good.

Their curry dishes aren't bad. It's not super spicy or bland, so it's enough to satisfy most peoples palates. The portion of meat (i.e. brisket, beef, chicken etc) is very generous, but if you like potato, you have to specifically request it. We ordered a plate of chicken fried noodles (not the mein) but we were too full by then to eat it, so it got packed to go.
