Chinese Cuisine
The popularity of Chinese food in America can be adjudicated by the appearance of China Town in many major cities in the United State of America. The popular trend of ordering or opting for Chinese take away food isn't unknown in America. Chinese take away food comes to rescue when you're too tired from work or too exhausted to cook. No one can resist the temptation of eating spicy noodles, shrimp, chicken, beef or pork cooked in the sweet and spicy sauce. The cooking method of authentic Chinese food is a lot different compared to what is served in America.
Generally, Chinese use dark meat small bones and organs to cook dishes but this changes when you are eating American-Chinese fusion food prepared using white boneless meat cooked with broccoli, carrots and onions. Back in China, the food is less spicy and oily as they favor steaming and braising method for cooking the most popular dishes. So, if you have a taste for authentic Chinese food, then try finding a real Chinese restaurant in the city. You can also try the most popular fusion Chinese food like Pecking Duck, Chicken Feet, Hot Pot, Shrimp Dumpling Soup, Mapo Tofu, Wontons, Chop Suey, Egg Rolls and not to forget Fortune Cookies.
There are not many restaurants in America serving authentic Chinese food. A little research on Restaurant Listings directory can help you locate the best Chinese restaurants in the city. Chinese cuisine is continuously evolving, and you can find a variety of dishes categorized as the food for lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant, vegan, vegetarian, and diabetic friendly. So, if you have a group of friends with different taste patterns, save the hassle and visit the nearest Chinese restaurant in your city.

I just went today overall the food is really really GOOD! Big Hot Delicious plate ( I got the Mongolian chicken and egg rolls) I could honestly say it's as good as Pei Wei or better. I always pass by this place since I live so close by and I noticed recently more and more people going in ( there was a change in new management recently) before it used to be so dead and now it gets pretty full depending on the day and time. I say give it a shot; even tho the place looks outdated food it super good!

Definitely good food. Everything was just right and crisped perfectly. The waitresses loved my baby boy. The lunch specials are a great deal. You get a smaller portion of a dish, but with soup, rice and a small side for under $6.00. Certainly recommended and I do plan on coming back.

Are you sitting down? New Asia Chinese Restaurant has... wait for it... wait for it... PAN FRIED NOODLES! Now I know what you're thinking, "he realizes that every Chinese restaurant in Tucson has pan fried noodles, right." But not true my yelpy friends! Not true. Places put "pan fried noodles" on the menu, but what you usually get are thick lo mein style noodles, chewy, and gross. These tonight were just like I used to get from Chun King Lo on Oakton Blvd, back at home. Think, thinner than spaghetti noodles, cooked then quickly fried to give them a nice texture, not too soft, not burnt, just a touch of browning in a few spots. YUM. I was in heaven and pretty much devoured the entire take-out container! You can get these noodles with different meats or veggies, but growing up we'd get them plan and just eat them alongside our main entrees during Saturday night take-out Chinese. Go there, get them, tell me they're the best and one of the only places in town that have 'em.

Out of all the chinese restaurants I've ever tried New Asia is by far my favorite!!! My family and I have been going to this place for years and now that it is under new management everything has just improved so much. The place is very clean the staff are very friendly, and the food of course is GREAT. I can't recall ever ordering something and being dissapointed. Highly recommend this place!!! :-)

(5)Rebecca B.
This place is good food but not good customer service and not clean. All staffs who were not friendly. They rush too much when they were busy weekend.

This little restaurant has been around on the Westside forever! Honestly, all your food ends up not looking like you expect - it is some interpretation of homestyle Chinese food. But it always tastes way better than it looks. I think my dinner portion was over $10 so it is not cheap. They are master fryers and the egg rolls are good. There are plenty of bok choy and cabbage in dishes. The fried rice is just soy sauce rice. Overall, not the best food but surprisingly better than expected and pricier at dinner.

Not even worth the review. Nothing fresh. Heat and re serve

I am from Seattle....we have good Chinese food there. I know with different regions there are different dishes that are appropriate for that region. (When I was in San Diego, I had to call in advance for Honey Walnut prawns so they could get the ingredients) it wasn't a regular menu item. Any way, I live so close and didn't even realize this place was there. I went in the first time and ordered my favorites and they went above and beyond my expectations. Mongolian beef and the honey walnut prawns (walnut shrimp is what they call them on the menu I think) are delicious! They are so friendly and always happy to see me come in. The only thing I wish is that they delivered! Love this place.....

We just moved to Tucson and were trying to find a good place for chinese takeout. Very quick and extremely tasty. We ordered 4 entrees and shared. The chicken rice noodles (we made it spicy), kung pao chicken, sezchuan chicken, and mongolian chicken. Chicken rice noodles and kung pao chicken were my favorites, but everything was good.
(5)Aedan F.
Good food, pleasant environment, decent prices, especially the lunch specials. I really enjoy their lo mein. And their "crab puffs" actually taste as though they're made with crab (or imitation crab) and have lots of filling... much tastier than a fried shell with little to no filling.

Cant beat the lunch special for 5 dollars. You get an awesome dish and an egg roll. I dont know exactly what Pamela D was smoking but I heard the review has nothing to do with the quality of the food. I give this place four thumbs up.
(4)Stephanie G.
Everything was fresh , the vegetables in my entree- cashew chicken . The egg drop soup was thick and full of flavor ! Will be back soon

First time my husband and I have eaten here since it changed owners. We had a nice meal, the food was good, hot and not too salty. We ordered from the dinner combo meals, and there was no problem making minor changes like soup and rice type. The service was attentive but not intrusive. We'll be back.

Great service, mediocre food. Came in here for my aunt's birthday. It is a hole in the wall, but they were able to accommodate our party of 8, even tho they are small restaurant. They served wonton chips w/ sweet n sour sauce as a snack while we waited for our food to come out. Their tea was definitely served scalding hot! We had a mix of Chinese, and non Chinese, so my uncle ordered accordingly. We ordered 9 dishes: *Shrimp Egg Foo Yong-3 small patties in brown sauce, pretty good flavor. It didn't taste too "eggy", which is a good sign that they didn't over cook it. :) *Combo Lomein-average lomein, could use more "wok flavor", noodles not hand-made. But the seasoning was pretty good). *Sweet and Sour Pork- I never order this when I go out for Chinese, unless a friend orders it. But I must say, this was one of the better ones. Pork was nice and crispy. *Walnut Shrimp-sauce was actually pretty good at this location. I like that they didn't drown it with the sauce like at some places. The shrimp was nice and crispy. It was probably just dipped in flour or cornstarch then deep fried because it wasn't heavily battered, which is perfect for walnut shrimp since it is already a decadent dish. *Tomato Beef-sauce was okay, but beef was chewey, and had a slightly gamey taste to it. *Gailan w/ Oyster Sauce-this was okay, but I prefer it when it is served with the whole stem, or cut in half with the sauce drizzled on top. This place just stir-fried chopped up gailan with the sauce. *Moo Shoo Pork-the moo shoo pancakes they serve here are more like Mission brand tortillas. Too thick, amd not enough flavor. I know most places in Tucson use store bought pancakes....but they should switch brands. The filling was okay. *Family Style Tofu (jia chang dofu)-veggies and sauce were pretty good, but the tofu was too dry. It didn't absorb any of the flavor. :( *BBQ Pork Slices (cha-siu)-the meat was probably roasted a few days ago. It was a bit tough and gamey. Love the customer service. Our waiter was nice enough to serve us each a small piece of tiramisu on the house since we forgot the birthday cake at home. :) This place would probably been a 2 1/2 star joint, but their customer service bumped it up to a 3. :) That, and the fact that we can't give half stars on Yelp. ;)

They should have changed the name to NEW New Asia Restaurant. The "New Asia" has been in the same location for 15-18 years. Before that, the space was Teresa's Mosaic Café until they expanded and moved to higher ground. When New Asia started out it was an ok neighborhood restaurant. The food was ok, good for the price, and the service was generally pretty good. In recent years that changed and, for the last 4-5, the food was sub-par and the service uninterested at best. My family just stopped going there after one particularly depressing meal. Along about January 2014, a banner went up proclaiming "new management." In fact, it was new ownership. And what a difference!!!! The quality of the food improved significantly across the board. And the service is really so much better than before that there is no comparison. I felt compelled to write this review because the new owners and their staff are working so hard and doing such a good job that I wanted to give them a hand overcoming the negative reviews written when the previous owners were letting things slide. Food first: It's what some folks would consider "Americanized" Chinese food, probably the same folks who consider lasagna and pizza Americanized Italian food. In other words, food that has been tweaked to make it appealing to Americans in general. And that's a good thing in a neighborhood restaurant with a diverse clientele. The main point is that the food is good. Last night's dinner was an excellent example. My spouse and I started with Egg Drop Soup and an order of Eggrolls, not very daring, I know, but comfort food when done right. And this was done right. The soup's broth was rich and the egg strands "flowered" just right. And there wasn't any attempt to tart it up, like some places do, with a few peas and carrots (frozen and blah). The eggrolls were crispy and flavorful and the dipping sauce was really good. Don't settle for the Chinese mustard if you like it "spicey." They have another sauce they will bring out if you let them know you want spicey. I'm not sure what it was (should have asked), but the spices were definitely there, with a moderate heat. Spouse had General Tsao Chicken, which she enjoyed, especially the water chestnuts. It was listed as "spicey," but she thought it was pretty mild. She preferred the Kung Pao Chicken from prior visits. I had the Mongolian Three Delights (Shrimp, Chicken and Beef), which was also listed as spicey and which I liked a lot. There was a nice balance between the meat and the vegetables (stir fried onions and greens). Best of all, they didn't stint on the shrimp, as so many places do, where "shrimp" means one and small. There were five good sized shrimp in my dish, maybe six because I lost track at the end. ( : The beef and chicken were in proportion. and flavorful. The spices were intriguing and the heat was what I would consider to be medium, but I grow and use habaneros, so be warned. On the other hand, I made a point of letting the waitress know that I liked it "spicey," which previous visits suggested would get you more Szechuan and less Cantonese style cooking. I like it that the kitchen is adaptable that way. Side comment: the subheading for the restaurant is "Szechuan and Cantonese Cuisine." If you like a little heat, let them know you like Szechuan style. Service: 4+ or 5-. Friendly, unobtrusive and willing. The owner keeps a friendly eye on things, at least over the dinner hour. One minor minus, we weren't offered water, which was available at other tables. But it was maybe because we ordered hot tea at the beginning. I know there are some folks who would get their nose out of joint because chop sticks weren't on offer, but to me that was a plus. ( : And I'm pretty sure that if you asked, they would find some for you. Bottom line: this is a very good to excellent neighborhood Chinese restaurant. My wife and I plan to see them once a month or so, when we don't feel like cooking and want something that isn't Sonoran. They should have changed the name!!!!!!

Last time I was here was 2 years ago and the food was horrible. We went here twice and both times we ordered different dishes but somehow they managed to screw up even the noodles. We said we won't come back here and it looks like that as on dec 2013 they have a sign out that declares that the place is under new management. Now we just have to be desperate enough to try again : |

One of my very first reviews was for this restaurant in which I gave it an abysmal 1 star. Since then I've had food from 2 very similar style restaurants and have never looked back. Today I actually thought New Asia deserves a second chance, come on no one deserves a 1 star right? So this time around changed my game plan a little bit to give myself a better chance. Instead of going when they are almost closed and on a Sunday night I went right during peak dinner hours and on a Friday night and I must say I am a little more impressed. "A little" being the key words. Now to reiterate things that were the same from my last review, decor still the same traditional look and the prices were the same which is a good thing. This place definitely one of the lowest prices for dinner around. Things that improved from the last time? CRAB PUFFS!! Thank god, I love my crab puffs and its a huge selling point for me at most restaurants. (I know, barbaric right?) But this time they weren't overcooked and had a lot of imitation crab meat in it which is always a huge plus. The sauce they give with them is extremely unique, I've never had anything like it however it is a little too sweet. However they only give 6 while most other places give at least 8-10 for around the same price. The entree I ordered was Mongolian beef which came with steamed rice. This is probably the main reason why I wouldn't give this place a 4 star. The beef was very chewy at times and sometimes tough, it was very inconsistent throughout. Sauce was extremely bland and very weak. With my Mongolian beef I want a really good balance of veggies and beef and most places usually have a higher veggie to beef ratio. New Asia has a much higher beef to veggie ratio which might leave some people feeling extra happy and others disappointed. Unfortunately, i was one of the disappointed ones. Green onions were almost nonexistent and the absence of said veggies probably made the imperfections of the beef stand out that much more to me. Overall, New Asia Chinese Restaurant isn't as bad as I once thought it was, will I ever try eating here again? Highly doubt it with other restaurants couple miles away that are easily better.

So glad to see a huge change here! New ownership, new menu in the making.....and everything smells better there. I tried the curry chicken: the chicken was tender and good.....but the curry barely discernible. I was quite happy to see veggies included, if a bit over cooked. It's such a good difference tho from previous. I know the menu is being tweaked, and hope the recipes too - will try it again.

Little family run place, food is decent

This restaurant is under new management,, The new owner is working hard to please. The food is excellent, Great to have new owners bringing new life to this greatly needed restaurant since we have so few choices on the west side. Hopefully, they will be giving the restaurant a nice upgrade in appearance, Go in and say hi to Phil, Ling and Tony.
(4)Maynard G.
Got some good old fashioned Chinese-American chicken chow mein. They charge extra for the white rice here, which they shouldn't. It was OK, not bad - except the crispy noodles were kind of - ugh - sweet.
(2)Nadia G.
I have been going to this restaurant for 10+ years now and I enjoy food that has the same consistent flavor at every visit! no complaints here!

My wife and three friends had a late Sunday lunch. No wait. We had very good service and the food was served promptly and hot. The flavor was fresh and classic. Lightly battered sweet and sour. Combo appetizer platter will give you nice sampling of their spare ribs, crab puffs, spring rolls and battered shrimp. Generous portions too. It's the best Chinese food we've found thus far in Tucson.
