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.

After driving past it for months, we finally made it to the mandarin grill!! We walked in at around 3pm, and their was two other families eating there. The waitress walked us to our table and showed us the dinner specials on the menu, then took our drink orders. After a few minutes, she came back and my hubby ordered the sweet & sour pork w/ wonton soup and I ordered the mongolian beef extra spicy w/ hot & sour soup. Both meals came with fried rice and egg rolls. The food did take about 10-15 minutes to come out, and we thought that meant we were getting fresh Chinese food. First we got our soups and they were both super good. The wontons and broth were so flavorful. The hot & sour soup was one of the best I've tasted in Tucson. Then came our food, and as expected everything looked fresh and was piping hot. My mongolian beef was deliciously spicy and tender. My hubbys sweet & sour pork was still crispy and not soggy at all, it was so good. Now for the fried rice, like everything else, it was so flavorful. The egg rolls were good too, but I have to say that I LOVE all egg rolls, unless something major is wrong with them(like soggy, or extra oily). We really enjoyed our food, and even took leftovers home. The service was good up to the point when she brought our food out. Then all of a sudden all the chefs came out of the kitchen with plates of food and sat down behind us and started eating, and the waitress joined them. We didn't mind that they did that because they have to eat too, but we were in need of refills. After a while my husband was able to flag her down and we got our refills. The decor was not that great, but that didn't bother me because I try to focus on the food. And on this occasion, the food was the star of the show. We will definitely be back for some great Chinese food.

So, after reading all the reviews, I was pretty excited to try this place. Got delivery on a Saturday night. The guy who took my order over the phone was helpful. The delivery driver was polite and fast. But the food? Pretty good, but nothing to rave about. Ordered the mongolian chicken which was tasty, but a bit greasy and could have used more spice...and ordered the lo mein with vegetables and tofu. The tofu was cooked well, but the vegetables definitely left something to be desired...mostly green onions, carrot strips, and mushrooms. I'd order again in a pinch, but eh. I'd rather go to Om or Bangkok Cafe instead.

lasjdflaweflkasjdlkasjdf That is me, typing out my frustrations, with the absence of better-than-okay Chinese restaurants in Tucson. Seriously, where are they? I think I'm going to have to master the art of Chinese cooking. In brief: + Spicy General Tsao's was as soggy as cereal that's been soaking in milk for too long. The breading of the chicken was mushy and mushy. I'm allowed to say it twice because it was uncomfortably squishy. + Sizzling Rice Chicken was okay. It came with really soft, okay veggies, and an okay goo for sauce. Note: Many of the Yelpers who gave this place five stars, ordered the Mongolian Chicken. I guess that's the thing to eat here, and boy am I kicking myself for not having ordered it.

Every time I want Chinese food, it's a struggle to find decent Chinese restaurant in Tucson. At the same time, Chinese buffets are mushrooming in every corner of the city like a plague. Don't get me wrong, these establishments have their places, but not when you want to eat a decent (I'm not saying good) Chinese meal. If you're on the West side, give Mandarin Grill a try. This is still among a few family run restaurants in T-town with an unassuming atmosphere and honest, decent food. The menu is extensive and includes specials for everyday of the week, except Friday. Recently, I was there on Thursday night and ordered the Shrimp & Broccoli dinner special. The entire meal comes with soup of your choice, one egg roll, the entree and steamed or fried rice (pretty usual fare). But what got me is the fried rice. Usually, it's just rice fried with soy sauce and some bits of peas and/or carrots. The menu says chicken fried rice, and it sure was chicken fried rice with pieces of sliced chicken meat and it tastes like it was just fried when I ordered it. I wasn't able to finish the whole meal due to the amount of food, and still have left over for a small lunch. I like it when folks are doing their best to present you a meal without cutting corners. For this reason, I highly recommend Mandarin Grill and also give it a 4-star rating. And judging from other 5-star ratings on Yelp, you can't go wrong here. Lastly, if you have not been there for more than a year, the inside has been completely remodeled and it is nice, clean and modern.

Mandarin Grill is soooo good. Every time I order from here, it is prepared quickly, hot and with fresh, properly cooked ingredients. Tonight I ordered the House Egg Foo Yung and it was heavenly. The meat was cooked inside of the patties. It was thick, moist and so delicious. The sauce was tasty and not too thick. The best I've had in 30 years! Enjoy!

I am confused as to why this place hasn't showed up on my radar before and why it doesn't have higher reviews. I ordered a delivery order and it was the best Chinese delivery I've tried in Tucson. Ordering was quick and easy and the host taking the call was very helpful. It arrived much quicker than estimated. I ordered the War Wonton Soup, Hot & Sour Soup, Cantonese Seafood Chow Mein and Ma Pao Beef. I was surprised by the quality of seafood in the chow mein. It had a plentiful of large scallops, large shrimp and whole clams. It was served on a bed of noodles which were tender under the seafood & sauce and crispy on the edges (yum). The war wonton soup is also the best I've had so far in Tucson (and I am very particular about this dish). It had ample meat and vegetables and the won tons were standouts (thick wrappers and tasty filling). The broth also tasted just right and had the right balance of white pepper. The hot and sour was very comforting classic feel-better soup. The Ma Pao beef was a new dish for me, and it was very tasty. Pretty much all pork, tofu and spicy (approve!). Overall, I plan to make this my new go to for ordering in.
(4)Nancy F.
Best Chinese restaurant in Tucson. Great food! My favorite is the BBQ pork fried rice, House beef, and especially the hot and sour soup. They remodeled the interior and looks modern and hip. Wonderful local restaurant!
(5)Willanne W.
Well ... lunch today falls in to the "fuel" category as opposed to the "food" one! Had the lunch special for $5.49 with hot and sour soup, egg roll, fried rice and Kung Pao Chicken. Hot and Sour soup: Acceptable. Not particularly spicy or sour. Stir fried rice: tasty with that nice "wok" flavor Kung Pao Chicken: Meh. Not spicy at all, almost in a gravy (too much corn starch perhaps) but veggies were crunchy and there was a decent amount of chicken in it. Egg Roll: Such a grease bomb that I had to spit out the bite I took! I'd put the lunch in the carbo load category .. for when you need quantity not quality. The service was very good though and the waitress was pleasant and the food came out promptly and was piping hot! We had eaten here several times before and our favorite dish has been the Pepper Spiced Prawns. Will try it again for dinner .. lunch was disappointing though.
(2)Navid A.
The best lunch deal in Tucson! Call ahead for takeout and the food will be ready in hardly anytime, super speedy service if you dine-in as well. Massive portions too you swear you were ordering off the regular dinner menu when you get lunch. This is the best chinese in the area for sure. For dinner though it does seem a bit overpriced and the atmosphere isn't the most elegant.
(4)Noah J.
WTH man... Got beef and broccoli. How do you mess that up? Strange egg rolls as well. Sad thing, I thought it would be good. No dice. The saving grace was the service by the waitress was incredible.
(2)Bob B.
First the good. The people taking the order are very helpful and easy to understand and the delivery was super quick. Now... Good Chinese food, this is not. The wonton soup was the only ok thing. I judge a place by its General Tao's chicken. This was almost as good as what you'd find at a mall food court. The chicken was mushy and the broccoli was way over cooked. The pork, of the pork and tofu, tasted as if it had been poached, not in a good way: mushy and stringy. Granted, I'm used to really good East coast Chinese food, but this was sub par even for Tucson. All would have been forgiven it came at food court prices, but the cost was substantial. I'll not be ordering again.
(2)Joclyn R.
I was expecting little portions so i ordered alot. My bestfriend and I where having a double date with both her boyfriend and mine so we got 4 of everything we ordered. Oh My Gosh!!! The orange chicken was great. Also, The Sweet and sour chicken was just like I hoped. They said they would be here less than 25 minutes they where here in ten. Plus we had left overs!!!!!! YAY! i willorder again when we have our next group date! XOXO
(5)Rose A.
My favorite chinese in Tucson. Especially the war wonton soup! Reasonable priced and family owned. Delivery is also a great option.
(5)Paul T.
Best Chinese in Tucson IMHO. House Special Beef is my favorite. It's spicy, breaded with a BBQ-style sauce. A bit crunchy, zero fat or gristle, perfect. Service this trip was very good, always there when we needed something and invisible otherwise. Lunch specials are plenty for the biggest appetite. Pretty sizable main course of your choice from the lunch menu, twice the amount of white or fried rice that you need, soup, and egg roll. We had left-overs...from lunch!
(4)Kirstin B.
We really like Mandarin Grill and have been eating here for years. One of Mandarin Grill's biggest strength's is its speed. Food is always delivered promptly... especially their lunch specials which are both yummy and inexpensive. Dinner portions are generous. Rarely do I leave without taking half of my meal home for lunch the next day. One of my favorite dishes is the Cantonese Fried Rice which is rich and full of wonderful flavors. My husband prefers the Mongolian Chicken which has just the right mix of sweetness and hotness. If you want an interesting treat try the plum wine. It is very sweet but unique flavor that I've only seen here. Swing by and enjoy...if you want to see their full menu here's a link to their site mandaringrill.com/index.…

When I went to pull up this listing, I typed "Potsticker Heaven" in the search bar, the colloquial name it goes by around the house. Mandarin Grill is one of those places where you really need to know what to order. Thankfully, I have people to guide me through these potentially sticky issues. There are three areas where this place excels: The potstickers, the bbq pork lo mein, and the sizzling rice soup. The dumplings are amazing. They take ages to come out, but it's usually a good idea to get one order per person, because we're rarely willing to share. Also, if you get multiple orders, no one has to fight over who gets to eat the cherry that comes on the serving dish. The filling is slightly gingery with pork and I think a bit of scallion, and it has an amazing thick breading. The only other potstickers that come close are from another mediocre Chinese place in Scottsdale. They come with an amazing vinegary sweet dipping sauce. How many times can I write amazing about one item? The lo mein's magic comes from the noodles. There are theories out there that they use the same batter for the potsticker shells and the noodles. I would not be shocked to find out that this is true. There are usually far too many sprouts and not enough other vegetables, but it's totally, completely worth it for the noodles and they'll fix that issue if you ask for them to toss in some broccoli. The sizzling rice soup is your standard sizzling rice soup. A perfect meal to share when paired with an order of potstickers and when I'm sick, it and avgolemono are my go-to take-out soups. Overall, the entrees should be skipped. If I need to order something else, the Mongolian beef or Mongolian chicken are safe. Occasionally I feel adventurous and will try something off of one of their specialties menus or their version of a standard Americanized Chinese food dish, and inevitably, I'm always mad at myself for wasting the money when I knew the result ahead of time. For the most part, they love sweetening everything served as a meal. (Note: While the duck is disappointing, I really enjoy their duck sauce.) The service is acceptable, and they never mock our love of potstickesr to our faces. They have a huge delivery range, so if you don't feel like going in, they'll show up on your door for $2.

Best Chinese in Tucson! I miss it! The Mongolian Chicken is excellent!
(5)Gabriel W.
Hands down the best chinese food in tucson. I used to live about half a mile from this place and my wife and I ordered from here at least once a week. When we moved to the northwest part of tucson, I do not lie when I tell you that part of the reason I chose the house we now live in is because it was again only about half a mile away from a mandarin grill. When we did finally move up here, however, I was HORRIFIED by the terrible food found at the northwest Mandarin Grill. I honestly drive over 30 minutes whenever I want chinese food now, which is terrible because I dont go nearly as often any more. THE LUNCH SPECIALS ARE SOME OF THE BEST IN TOWN! Great GREAT value. For under $10, and most of the time under $8, you get a full sized entree, large helping of steamed or fried rice, choice of soup, and an egg roll or wonton. You will not leave hungry or dissatisfied.
(5)Theresa W.
This is such a great little restaurant. This is only the second time I have been here but I have been very impressed so far. The service is great the people are so friendly. We had the crab crowns and they were done perfect, very warm, but not mouth blistering, and yummy. Then we had the Chicken Hawaiian, which we shared, it came out in a half pineapple and was heaping full. There was quite a lot of meat and the shrimp was a decent size and cooked perfect. Was enough to fill us up. I highly recommend this restaurant
(5)Johanna N.
I (use to) order soup from this place all the time. It's a little more expensive than other places, but i considered it worth it cause it's usually ready in 10 min for pickup. They don't cook everything fresh. I got day old soup today. If i'm paying 10 bucks for a thing of soup, i don't want it to be day old and mostly water chestnuts. Yes, usually the soup is fresh, but if you have to wonder bout how fresh your food is, then it's not a good place to visit. I've ordered the lunch specials a couple times. Average quality, but a good quantity. Nothing really amazing. DO NOT get delivery unless you're willing to wait 45+ minutes. I live within a mile, and it takes this long every time. Take out takes 10-15 min to be ready. Honestly, after how horrible the soup was today, i won't be going back again. It was luke warm, mostly water chestnuts. The veggies that were in there were soggy and not the usual color or crispyness. When i first opened it, the broth wasn't even filled to the top either. Very disappointing. Everyone has usually been friendly from here, and it looked clean every time i got take out at least.
(2)Hannah S.
This place is a family favorite. The portions are ginormous. My husband and I ordered a bobo platter and two lunch specials. We split the platter and took two bites of our meals and were full. The meals gave us each a full lunch the next day. Now, that's just the lunch special size. The normal portions are GIGANTIC. I saw a few orders at the table next to me. Oh my gosh. You could feed 2-4 people with one dish. The food is fresh and yummy. We tried the sweet and sour shrimp and the cashew chicken. They were both great. We loved the bobo platter. What isn't fun about roasting your food over a little fire? They are also kid-friendly. They have high chairs and good service. They are a little crowded, but not too bad. For sure, we will be going back. Great food for a great price.
(5)A P.
Great restaurant! Nice ambiance inside with beautiful artwork on the walls. The service is good and the food is delicious. The prices aren't crazy and their menu is huge with all kinds of selections available. I really like this place for Chinese food and have frequented it often. The only negative for me is their location (but that's something that can't really be helped and I'm not holding it against them). We always leave this place fully stuffed and very satisfied. :-)
(4)James O.
Ignore the neighborhood, ignore the storefront - this is the place to get Chinese food in Tucson. AMAZING food, fresh ingredients, and quality service make for a quiet and authentic dining experience without a big price tag. We started with the potstickers (get them steamed - it doesn't say it on the menu, but they're excellent); I had the Mongolian Chicken and my girlfriend had Beef with Broccoli. Service was fast and waitress even offered to box our food (at a restaurant where our entire check was under $30?! Unheard of). Worth the experience. 5/5
(5)Corey D.
That's it, I'm giving them 5 stars and YOU SHOULD TOO! For a while now Mandarin Grill has veen my fave when it comes to Chinese in Tucson. The have an extensive menu, great lunch and dinner specials and the staff is some of the nicest in the entire city. So I had to wonder though, am I just really caught up in the sexiness of the place? Have been distracted all these years by the mighty fine decor? (See this is funny because there nothing special going on visually.) Or maybe I've just come to expect not very much from Asian cuisine in Tucson. No, no. Amanda K confirms I know what I'm talking about... it's good! We split my fave the mongolian chicken with veggies and she picked out a ginger chicken that made me question my fave. It was mildly spicy with an amazing ginger zip at the end. Amanda added brocoli which rocked my sock-i-lees because the florets soaked up all the yummy sauce. So in conclusion if you haven't enjoyed your time at MG, you're a fool. Alright, alright, I take it back. If you haven't dug the dish, I'm guessing it's not something they're great at, and you should ask me. :) Soup is a go, any of them. Egg rolls are eh, avoid 'em. Mongolian Chicken, this Ginger Chicken and the Sesame Chicken are bomb. Egg foo young is hard to screw up, I've liked it. Anything else, don't come running to me when it's at wo star meal. You've been armed with the knowledge I have. Now go eat! And I'd love to hear what you think!
(5)Kayleigh M.
Let me start off by saying that the food is pretty good at Mandarin Grill. My girlfriend ordered the lemon chicken with hot and sour soup and I ordered the sweet and sour chicken with egg flower soup. The egg flower soup was definitely not up to par, it tasted like instant soup with some egg in it. It was also very thin and lacked almost any flavor. The chicken was good, I was charged $1.50 extra to have chicken that wasn't breaded because of an allergy. That didn't seem to make sense to me, but oh well. The lemon chicken was pretty good, the hot and sour soup was not that spicy. The reason why this place is getting two stars is because of its service. The girl who took my order was incredibly rude and condescending. She gave me attitude every step of the way whenever I asked questions. She also immediately told me that they couldn't make the sweet and sour chicken without breading. After a few seconds of me telling her that was weird, she begrudgingly went to ask someone else. A charge for chicken that isn't breaded? That's strange. We had them deliver our food and even though it arrived quickly, they gave us the wrong soups. When we called back and corrected them, they said to have the incorrect soup ready because they would be taking it back. Gross! A few friends of ours have confirmed that the service was the exact same way with them. If they changed the service, they would be a fantastic restaurant.
(2)Steven G.
Unimpressed. I really thought I was going to discover something new but the food was mediocre. I ordered the orange beef to go and while the food was extremely hot the taste was too strong. In order to lesson the taste I had to mix the beef with a lot of rice. I want to say that there was too much soy sauce or something in the sauce that made it very unappetizing after a few bites. Something in the food probably resulted in my stomach ache shortly there after. However, I am willing to give Mandarin Grill another try due to its great location to campus but for now I will stick to my usual Chinese takeout restaurants.
(2)Eve S.
Consistency this place lacks, but they really hit the spot for Chinese when they're on. The house special fried rice and orange chicken are my favorites, but they also have decent eggs rolls. I don't usually eat in the dining room as I find it sort of awkward, but I suppose that comes with Chinese restaurant territory.
(3)S. M.
I had take out Vegetable Lo Mein and Mongolian Vegetables. Very friendly and fast service. The food was fantastic- especially the Mongolian Vegetables!! I will definitely make this my regular chinese spot!
(5)April E.
I ordered pot stickers and chicken chow mein for delivery. Prompt delivery, only a $2 charge (I threw in a tip as well). The food was good, I just wish it had more veggies. I guess next time I'll order one of the veggie dishes. The potstickers were really bready, but good. All around convenient.
(4)Nam D.
A very mediocre Chinese restaurant, except when it came to their duck preparations. Always tender, juicy, crispy skin, the accompanying vegetables didn't take a backseat either, in an awesome sauce. It's a 15 minute wait but I highly recommend ordering that. If I had never ordered anything here but the duck it'd be a 4 star, but alas, everything else struck me as very average. The only duck prep I don't recommend is the crispy duck- tends to dry out and doesn't come with the fantastic sauce or as many nice veggies.
(3)Jackie V.
Love this asian place! And its right around the corner from my house. The lunch specials are a steal, huge portions and super delicious. Dinner specials aren't bad either but for your first time I would advise going for lunch so if you don't like it, its not a huge set back. They also deliver, which is probably what we are gonna do next time just because service was kinda slow. We went on a Monday and 2 tables got approached before we did and it wasn't even busy. But I'm not gonna let below the service ruin my opinion about this place, the food makes up for what the service lacked.
(4)Derrick K.
Great food! Fast service! They gave me a 45 min wait time for food but showed up in 20 min amazing!!!
(4)Robert L.
I wanted Chinese delivery the other day and a friend had been suggesting this place so I finally called in and ordered the Mongolian Beef with fried rice and crab puffs, the person on the phone was courteous, and my food was delivered in less than 20 minutes (i'm located on the edge of their delivery map). The beef had a little too much sauce, but for a quick lunch i'd go here anytime.
(3)Amanda K.
my latest love. this place is so delicious! we got the tai chen chicken added broccoli, and the mongolian chicken. soo ridiculously good! the service was great, and the food is really high quality, and they will adjust the spiciness to your liking... mild, spicy, extra spicy...
(4)Jen W.
It is hard to find a place that has lunch specials without going as far south as Speedway or Broadway. All of Mandarin Grill's lunch specials are under $6. If you are a person that loves steamed white rice, you should come here. I find that the chicken here are a little saucy. Either way, I recommend the pot stickers. The potstickers are humongous and super doughy, but they come with a slight chili soy vinegar that I love. This place is quick when it comes to takeout - order is ready in about 10 minutes. If you eat in, you'll experience an almost empty, somewhat dark, and red booth seat environment if you know what I mean!
(3)Subhash R.
We have been going here for 25 years. Great food at reasonable prices. Good service and pleasant atmosphere. Our favorite Mooshoo vegetable.
(5)Carl S.
We are regulars at the Mandarin Grill. The staff is friendly, service good, range of menu sizable enough that a diner can become adventurous. Especially good is the Spicy Shrimp: jumbo shrimp lightly breaded, covered in a mustard and garlic sauce, surrounded by a ring of steamed broccoli; and Hunan Beef, with paper-thin sliced tender beef, shiitake mushrooms and ample water chestnuts for crunch. Tender steamed rice on the side. Standard fare such as sweet and sour soup is excellent. I have not yet tried their war wonton soup, but I expect that to be an excellent meal as well.
(4)Jenny Y.
Prices are affordable and food is mediocre. I called 20 minutes before closing time, and asked if they could deliver, but was unfortunately just outside of the delivery zone. They said I could come and pick it up if I arrived within 20 minutes. Since a friend had just told me how this is the best Chinese food in town, I felt like I should give it a shot. So I ordered the General Tso's chicken and the Beef Lo Mein. They said the order would be ready in 10 minutes. When I arrived at the restaurant, the greeters were friendly, and my bag of takeout was ready to go. I got home and was disappointed with the tiny to-go box of rice that came with the chicken dish---I never thought rice was that pricey to being with, and it would have been nicer to have a bigger serving. The General Tso's was decent, but nothing special. The Beef Lo Mein was disappointing---the meat was chewy and unappetizing. I barely touched this dish, and didn't even want to bring leftovers of it to work for lunch the next day. I think I'll order takeout elsewhere next time....
(2)Robby P.
This place is kind of a hidden gem. The building is very unassuming, inside and out, but the food more than makes up for it. I'm a fan of sesame chicken, and their's doesn't disappoint. Their low mein noodles are amazing. The bill reflects the quality, but it isn't a deterant from the quality and quantity of food.
(4)Robert W.
Gotta start out with "The Crispy Duck" is spectacular and a whole one is only 20$. I had the Mongolian shrimp and it was so scrumptous. The prices are very reasonable for lunch. Some time I'll have to come in for dinner.
(4)Bianca A.
After reading mixed reviews on here I had to check out Mandarin Grill but decided to stick to what seemed to be the most consistent. I ordered the lunch special of Mongolian chicken and potstickers. I have nothing new to add to these reviews and can only agree with everyone when they say they are awesome! Delivery was quoted at 45 minutes but arrived in 25. I only gave 3 stars because I need to try some other items and hope they defy the reviews they've received but for today I was very happy and so stuffed.
(3)Gabriella A.
LOVE THIS PLACE. Great food, great prices, usually great service! Can't go wrong! Mongolian Shrimp is amazing!
(5)Dana O.
The girls that work here are friendly and courteous, but the food is very "interpretive" in an American-sensibilities kind of way. Don't expect anything authentic here (I am still in search of authentic Chinese cuisine in Tucson). Fortunately, the dishes aren't terribly greasy and the service was fast -- one saving grace for the Mandarin Grill was that they have excellent taste in music, which was played at a decent level throughout our dining experience.
(3)Andrea H.
This is a perfect place to satisfy greasy Chinese food cravings (and yes, I frequently get those!) The prices are fair and service is quick and friendly. This joint is by no means a fancy dining experience, but they get the job done. The only issue I have lies in the feeling I get after eating here-- I feel full, lethargic, and like I just ingested 1000 calories too many! oops.
(3)Mikayla W.
I had always been wanting to come to this place for dinner for along time. Before they were closed due to making changes. I finally go to eat here tonight and the food is great! I can't wait to go to their lunch time.
(4)Dawn P.
The fried rice seemed like it was out of a steamer bag...very soft and a bit salty. The wonton soup was different...the broth was thick and not a clear broth more like a chicken noodle soup base and not served with fried wonton strips. The chowmein was served with fried wonton strips instead of crispy noodle.
(1)Dess B.
This food was absolutely delicious! I ordered the Mongolian beef dinner special ($9.25), a side of egg rolls ($3), and the house fried rice (fried rice with shrimp, pork, and chicken) ($7.25). Everything was fresh and flavorful. I ordered take out the wait was only around 10 minutes. Most Chinese places have hard rice, but their steamed rice that came with my dinner special was nice and soft, and the fried rice was cooked to perfection.
(5)Sarah S.
Nothing like finding a dead fly in your water......and them treating it like not a big deal! It was our first time, needless to say we will not come back.
(1)Jason B.
Great lunch specials!! Always good for delivery. I would recommend this place if youre new to the area.
(4)Amanda S.
I am totally confused... I am calling the correct phone number as listed on here ( yelp.com ) and their website, and calling within the hours listed as being open and the phone is just ringing and ringing... did they close? This would be my first time eating from here...

Best delivery in Tucson. Very fast. I always order the walnut shrimp & Mongolian chicken. Sometimes I ask for extra spice on the chicken. Regardless how spicy it's always very good.

If nothing else, go there for the Mongolian Chicken. Far and away the best I have EVER tried--anywhere. The lunch specials are amazing as well. Only ~$5 for a huge plate of great food, plus soup and wontons. I have been going here for years and recommend it to anyone who ever comes to visit. Buyer beware: If you go there for lunch, make sure your afternoon is free because you'll need a serious nap.

As I attend the gem show each year I am in the city many nights and we happened upon this place with a number of cars in the parking lot. We thought this might be a good sign. The place is on the N side of Grant in its own building. Really no esthetics to speak of here. Most people were eating some deep fried meat coated with some sweet looking sauce. I see this at most Chinese joints and don't know what the appeal is with this dish. Not a good sign if you are looking for something unique. Anyway, with that I realized it was going to be an average meal, so suck it up and try to find something. There was one unusual thing and that was the Mongolian lamb, so we ordered that and a plate of house lo mein. The plates arrived and were HUGE! The lamb was like the usual beef Mongolian style, but way too sweet for my buds. The lo mein was also sweet, but did have a very generous portion of meats and shrimp. Check was $30 which would have been fine if the meal was more edible because the overwhelming sweetness did not allow the completion of ones plate.
