The Most Delicious Chinese in Tucson

Bamboo Gardens

★★★★☆ 3.6 (174) • $$

"This place is great. The service is so friendly and quick. The inside is sparsely decorated but still has a great vibe. I came here one before and wanted to try it again to see if I had a similar experience and I did. The food tastes sooo good. I got the egg rolls and the Thai beef salad. The beef salad can be in served at different levels of spice and I really appreciate that. It was so very tasty and so was the egg rolls. I highly recommend trying out their Thai food here."

Dragon's Palace

★★★☆☆ 3 (149) • $$

"Cozy, quiet restaurant that's practically at the edge of town. It's your basic Chinese-American menu with no signature dishes, but they have some cool dinner specials that come with fried rice, egg roll, wonton, and soup. What I liked: The service was quite kind and composed, especially after dealing with some rude customers that were holding everything up. The appetizers were nice and I enjoyed the crab wontons, which were rich with scallions and fried to perfection. What I didn't like: My poor orange chicken was overcooked to oblivion, with some of it having a jerky-like texture. Tried the beef and broccoli which was adequately cooked but way too salty IMO. I've definitely had worse, but I know I've had a lot better, too."

Mantis Gourmet Chinese Food

★★★★☆ 4.4 (296) • $$

"My fave for Bun, especially Tofu Bun. What is bun? A Vietnamese dish, light & flavorful with thin rice noodles (vermicelli) and broth. My idea of a great lunch or dinner, the add ons like fresh cilantro and lemongrass, it is my go to when I dine here. Inside is basic, a handful of tables and happy people. They are usually busy, so order to go or you might have a short, but worth it wait for a table. Don't get along of Vietnamese food on this side of Tucson, so it's on my regular rotation of places for lunch or takehome dinner."

Wok & Roll

★★★★☆ 3.6 (345) • $$

"The food was decent , the place is spotless . Service was friendly and fast . A really good value for the money"

Brothers Noodles

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (244) • $

"It's been a while since we've ordered from here and it seems like they've improved quite a bit! Their menu seems to have changed too since the last time we ordered. We got the hot and sour soup, cucumber salad, the eggplant and tofu and the house fried udon. It was all very good albeit a bit salty. All things considered this is a solid place to order Chinese take-out."

Oriental Express Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.1 (66) • $

"Best Chinese food in town. I've been going here since I was a toddler until current time. I always order the chicken lo mein or the shrimp lo mein. My parents love the food. They're either bringing home takeout or I'm the one doing the takeout for them. My brother loves eating it. He's a picky eater, but this place is his exception. It hits close to home. Place is super cozy and homey. The view from above is just straight up awesome. There's a lot of variety to the menu. I have yet to try everything else on my own! The food is great no matter the time of the day. This place is #1 for sure. Love to have you guys here in this small corner of the university. :)"

Orient Express

★★★★☆ 4 (56) • $$

"I was working late at Fort Huachuca, and everything was closed then, so I headed out the south gate into Sierra Vista's downtown area. I found the Orient Express. As you enter the door, the restaurant is on your left, and another business is on the right-hand side. I paid no attention to what it was since it was late and I was tired. I ordered my standard, which is chicken fried rice and an egg roll. She mentioned having spring rolls, which was fine as long as they were not seafood since I am allergic to them. Well, the total came to $36+. At first, I thought she might have charged me for two chicken fried rice dishes since that's usually the case, but to my surprise, the spring roll was four rolls per order at $9.95. So, if you're eating solo, be ready because ordering a single roll is impossible. They are only orderable in quantities of four. She had to call the manager to cancel the additional order for spring rolls. No worries. The cashier/order taker was kind and friendly, a delight after a demanding day. As for the food, it was plentiful and fresh, and I even went to Walmart afterward to pick up some bottled water."

Hibachi Grill Super Buffet

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (130) • $

"Second time I've been there and everything was hot and ready. A lot of variety and also had the cook make me something on the hibachi. Great food nice atmosphere and friendly service. One of the best Hibachi Chinese buffet I've been to in a long time. Glad to have it in town."

Grace Garden

★★★★☆ 4 (237) • $

"Honestly one of the best pork egg rolls I've had in a long time. It was very oily but the taste and texture were there. So good.I got the beef and broccoli and the teriyaki chicken, with a side of white and fried rice. Both delicious. This will be my go to spot for my noodle needs!I got delivery so I'm unsure of the ambiance and service but I know they make yummy food!"

Zing Zing's

★★★★☆ 3.8 (32)

"I ordered the Sam Sun Hot Pot today through Uber Eats. It was a huge portion and it was meticulously wrapped and packaged so it did not leak one drop before I opened it! And it tastes delicious!!"

Golden Dragon

★★★★☆ 3.5 (87) • $$

"I still really like the staff and the fried rice, but I will say their pad thai should be taken off the menu. It isn't good. It tastes mostly of fish sauce and peanuts. It's just not correct and I was pretty disappointed when I tried it. I will still get my usuals from this place, because our options are so limited."

Big Wa Chinese Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.9 (225) • $

"It's not perfect, but Big Wa was a quick, comfortable, and tasty restaurant to make a stop for lunch. Everything else cool was some lunch cafe that was closed by the early afternoon, but that was Big Wa's time to shine with tasty and affordable lunch specials. What we had: Crab wontons, General Tso's Chicken, Sweet & Sour Pork. This was nowhere close to what General Tso's is supposed to be, but it's sweet and garlicky so that's a plus. While there were some good flavors in every dish, but everything fried was overcooked. Some pieces of meat, a little burnt. The wontons were dry. The other items were great--veggies were perfect. I hate egg drop soup but I actually liked theirs, and thought it was cute to see the tiny bits of tofu and mushroom. I think it's nice to have a decent take-out place in what I will still call the middle of nowhere. If for whatever reason you're in Casa Grande for an afternoon, this will probably be OK."

eHotPot

★★★★★ 4.5 (137) • $$

"While picking up a family friend in Tucson we decided to stop in and try out e-HotPot. We were short on time so we chose a few appetizers and the teriyaki chicken vs hot pot. We were immediately greeted and the waiter was very friendly. I did notice we were the only ones dining, around 1pm. All of the tables have a burner at each seat for each person to make their own custom hot pot meal, which I would love to try at some point. They also have a small self serve bar with sauces, garlic, jalepenos, vinegars and other tasty add ons. We chose the Taiwan sausage, the popcorn chicken and teriyaki chicken. The Taiwan sausage is a deep fried pork sausage and it is paired with fresh thin sliced garlic. It has a sweet and savory taste that pairs well with the garlic. The popcorn chicken is very tender and in a light crispy coating. It doesn't have a ton of flavor but tastes lovely lightly dipped in soy sauce. My favorite was the classic chicken teriyaki. It is made with tender rib meat and the teriyaki glaze is absolutely delicious! Throughout our dining experience our waiter checked on us often, refilled our water consistently and was overall very friendly. For desert he brought us an orange that was uniquely sliced where you push the bottom up and the orange pops up to eat. Using the pick inside you gently pull each slice out perfectly... genius!! They also brought us chocolate fortune cookies. I did use their restroom while I was there and it was VERY nice. Incredibly clean, has a large sliding door, and the option for a hand dryer or paper towels. When I am in Tucson next I would ABSOLUTELY eat here again. I wish it were closer, as I'd love to try more items on the menu."

Dove M Bistro

★★★★☆ 4.1 (250) • $

"A busy place during weekend lunch and dinner time. The dishes are done well with a wide range to choose from. Call ahead if you have a large party for dining."

Golden House

★★★★☆ 4.2 (366) • $$

"This is a small restaurant within a strip mall. But don't let that stop you! The service was amazing. Staff was quick to refill drinks. They were not overly attentive but kept a watch. When we were done eating, we didn't have to wait for someone to offer take home containers and the bill which was really nice. The best part was the fantastic food. My daughter and I both ordered the orange chicken. This chicken was nothing like I was expecting. It was better! My mom ordered sweet and sour shrimp. She absolutely loved it. We live in Alaska but will definitely be back before we head home."

Yen Ching

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (120) • $$

"I honestly cannot express how amazing this place is! Mr.David congrats on being the main person running it and always being so attentive!Great costumer service: in 8 years going here, I've not once had an issue. It's always been friendly, casual, and somewhat soothing to have dinner here. I love the food, it has a very delicious taste! I normally have huge reviews to provide, but I cannot begin to express how everything is just right in Yen Ching! keep up the great work and doing your best, a paint job and outside decor could help. But overall 10/10.Waiting time to be seated 0-10 mins at most.Food taste: 20/10Service: 10/10 unless the man running it is helping then I'd say 20/10!"

Lotus Garden Chinese Cuisine - Mesa

★★★★☆ 4.1 (76)

"Enjoyed our dinner! I'm "new" to the tofu scene and thoroughly enjoyed my meal. I'm always worried the tofu will be too soft for my liking. This was nice a crisp on the outside and medium texture on the inside. We also had the chicken dumplings. They were ok."

Green Tea Restaurant

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (125) • $

"My favorite small Chinese restaurant in the valley. Unbeatable lunch special deal at 8.99, the Mongolian beef is a must order for me, and the staff is accommodating with minor adjustments, such as adding snow peas. The place is quiet and may not look like much but I really recommend it. These family owned spots can be real diamonds in the rough. Also l like the panda theme."

Chopstix Asian Diner

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (109) • $

"I cannot begin to tell you how rare this is, but come on man. The food is what it is - mediocre but our localJoint when people are hungry.My issue is the small things - three times we have asked for .... chopsticks. We have all been in the military of deployed by a private contractor overseas. We like eating certain foods with chopsticks.And we get cheap plastic forks - no chopsticks from a place called chopstixs. Asked personally ... nope ... placed it under special instructions twice? No ... just mediocre food with cheap plastic forks. The food is overpriced, and lacking in taste - the fact they can't get something simple like chopsticks three times in a row makes me wonder what else they are missing and that stinks - it shouldn't be that way.Of course it is still better than MacDonalds;)"

Chino-Mex

★★★★☆ 4.2 (93)

"So we came here for date night!This place is amazing! We got the Spicy Orange Chicken and who doesn't like things a little spicy! It was so good!I got the mushroom entree that they had, it was so good and so fresh!I had the regular Lo Mein and Janna had the Spicy Lo Mein, that was the only thing that went wrong with our visit, I missed the spicy Lo Mein. This place is legit, if you are close by, you gotta try it!!!We will definitely be back!"

"The house is special fried rice is excellent. And it was ready in 10 minutes. It's literally the only thing I've had on the menu."

Hot Wok Restaurant

"I usually order the honey and walnut shrimp and it's always delicious. They charge extra for sweet and sour but that's ok"

Jumbo Chinese Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.6 (19) • $$

"Chinese food, especially with buffet options, is so iffy. For one, do you want authentic Chinese food, or American-Chinese food? Do you want healthy Chinese or yummy, fried Chinese food?I, bring the chubby girl that I prefer the latter. We were out exploring today and I found Jumbo. They offer the buffet, which you can peruse when you arrive, or daily lunch specials, or if you're really hungry, order dinner. There were three of us and we all opted for the buffet. Check this out! The cost is $6.75 per person! This includes hot and sour or egg flower soup. Our waitress suggested half and half. Wow, that was delicious!Speaking of our waitress, she was excellent. She had a wonderful personality and truly enjoyed her job. I tipped her much more than the cost of the buffet. We enjoyed fried shrimp, several chicken options (sweet and sour, kung pao, teriyaki, etc.), and many noodle options. The chef replenished the food on a regular basis. So, to recap, here's the breakdown:5 stars for value 5 stars for flavor5 stars for service 5 stars for food options 3 stars for environmentI am always watching for cleanliness and you can only get a feel for the this from the main dining room and bathroom. Based on these two things, both were clean and tidy. We will make the drive from Oro Valley on a monthly basis for sure. Give it a try!"

Ginger Zing

★★★★☆ 4.2 (412) • $

"It's been family tradition to order Chinese dinner for our Christmas meal and Ginger Zing has provided that two years in a row. The selection, quality of food with freshness being on top of the list, and service make it easy to return time and time again. The portions are generous and we're always impressed. My favorite entree is the lemon chicken and crab puffs, i could eat those all day. If you're in the mood for a delicious meal, I highly recommend!"

New China Sushi Grill Buffet

★★☆☆☆ 2.2 (187) • $$

"Went to this buffet for lunch this past week. Had high hopes that it would be really good - not so much ! Hopes were dashed right away when we arrived ! Let's run down the specifics. When we arrived, they told me the cost, gave them a credit card - card disappear from sight ! Where's my card ? Went from front desk to server (charged) then to wrong table ! Had to go searching it out . . . Not a good start. Browsed the food - hmmmm - some looked good, some not so much, a lot smelled just plain bad ! Everything was very greasy - chicken dishes, vegetables, side dishes and other dishes (not sure what they were). Fried rice was very bland. Some dishes were barely edible - very disappointing ! Macaroons from the dessert table were not bad ! Prices would not be bad at $17/person, if food was good, but not paying anything for this ! Service was very poor also - had to ask for silverware, refills on drinks . . . Definitely, not recommending, or going back to this place !"

New Asia Chinese Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.1 (108) • $

"New Asia is close to my home and has become my place where craving Chinese food. My most recent takeout order was a smorgasbord of wonton soup, crab rangoons, pan fried dumplings, sweet and sour chicken, cashew chicken, and sesame balls because I was hungry when I ordered. The crab rangoons are tasty. I was less of a fan of the pan fried dumplings - it reminded me of the frozen ones you find in the grocery store. The wonton soup was flavorful and packed with cabbage. The sweet and sour chicken comes with pineapple and veggies along with the sauce. It was fried crispy but not super greasy which can easily happen. I was a fan of the cashew chicken that was packed with meat, cashews, zucchini, celery, and I think water chestnuts in a soy based sauce. The sesame balls I didn't see on the menu but asked and was pleasantly surprised they were available. Crispy and chewy and filled with red bean paste they were delicious and definitely satisfied a craving. We were accidentally given the wrong soup but they were very nice and had the correct soup waiting for me when I went back."

"Delish! I'm gluten free and cannot often get things at Asian restaurants because some soy sauce has wheat in it however this place has a few options for me! I love their chicken noodle soup for when I'm sick."

Golden Star Chinese

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (32) • $

"Delicious Egg Foo Young! The Egg Foo Young is the reason to visit!!! This little place appears to do a lot of business, as every time I have been there - even during the COVID shutdown - there are always others placing orders. Therefore, there can be a bit of a wait but it's worth it. The price is reasonable. I recommend Golden Chinese!"

"This is our favorite Chinese restaurant to go to. The service is always great. The food is wonderful.we always start off with the egg drop soup and I normally get the sweet-and-sour shrimp and my wife gets the chicken lo mein . Always plenty to take home for leftovers. There is usually some place to sit because there's a lot of takeout orders at this restaurant so seating is usually not an issue."
