“Updated 7-29-26

My wife and I stopped in for dinner. We started with the hot and sour soup and she had the egg drop soup. We then had pan fried dumplings, lettuce wraps, and then head to sweet-and-sour chicken. The food was fantastic and tasty. Our server was awesome. We never had to ask for anything. It’s a must stop in now.

We went to grab dinner and order the $20 meal per person. Service and food were great. With that drinks maybe dessert it was $60-$70 with a tip. It’s a little pricey, but I think it’s worth stopping by.“

“Small, friendly restaurant with FANTASTIC food! Generous portions and absolutely delicious. I had the egg foo young and my friend had the moo shu delight. Definitely will stop in anytime I am in Tucson!
(Has real plates and silverware - guess they have upgraded since the review 2 years ago.)“

“Bravo! Great job and has been consistent over the years with quality and flavor. Love this place!“

“My Wife and I tried this place for our date night that is down the road from where we lived. Everything we tasted was excellent and yummy. The Service was great. Decent pricing but worth every bite. Highly recommend this place. We had the Beef Udon soup, House Lo Mein, and the Mongolian three. Crab Ragoons were tasty as well. The soup was definitely the star of the show and a top tier comfort food. We will definitely be back for more“

“Dish would've been good but was heavily oversalted“

“Kung Fu Kitchen was the breath of fresh air we needed! We almost passed it up on our way through but decided to go for lunch. (The weekday lunch specials are amazing, large portions and very affordable) From the moment we stepped in our server, Jeni, made us feel at home and welcomed. The cozy atmosphere was inviting and if you get overstimulated easily this is an excellent choice; no obnoxious music or overbearing lights! We plan on coming back regularly as it felt like we were invited over for lunch at a friend's or family members house. The food was delicious, definitely recommend the house lo-mein!“

“I love this place! They work with me as to what I want, it’s always fresh and tastes amazing. The owner is so polite and I’ll keep going every week
Ordered food here again and it was perfect so fresh and they make it the way I want. I love it. They always work with me. I got the Singapore noodles with extra veggies with triple Mongolian extra beef, chicken and shrimp spicy and it is the most amazing Chinese plate I’ve ever had in my life. I love this place.“

“I ordered the Mandarin Tofu and taro buns. They were both delicious! I used to love Mandarin chicken/beef and have since gone vegetarian but i crave it and have been trying to find a vegetarian substitute. This was definitely a good option. And the price was good! I ordered it to go so i didnt get a vibe for in house seating.“

“If you are gluten-intolerant, this is your Chinese restaurant. Excellent, excellent! Best GF choices since Lotus Garden closed. This is my new favorite east-side go-to restaurant.“

“Excellent food! This is a must try place. Our new favorite for Cantonese.“

“the food was great. the server let me taste the smoked plum juice. definitely have to get that next time. staff was friendly and helpful for first time being there.“

“Family was in town craving from their college days. Couple upstairs was so sweet & food is authentic! Boba Thai tea could’ve beeb a bit better. However still highly recommend & marketing wise they should add another sign to be seen as they are hard to see from main gate could be why their business is slow at this time as it could be missed easily.“

“I will drive across town to the Tucson Mall just to eat here. The food and the portion sizes are phenomenal. The potatoes are out of this world. When I go, it’s so good that I have a buy another plate to take to go to eat again the next day. Why even go to the Panda Express right next to it, when this place sells better quality food with even more flavor. this is a place I think about and my mouth starts watering and I just have to come back. I get the fried rice, potatoes, cabbage and broccoli, with bourbon chicken and blackened chicken, and occasionally their shrimp which is totally amazing.“

“Josh greeted us when we arrived. He was extremely helpful and super nice. You can definitely tell he loves his job, it shows through his amazing customer service. His professionalism is beyond the best. It was our first time dining at pei wei and I will definitely be back. The food was fresh hot and extremely tasty. I am super impressed with the experience. Thank you!“

“The most delicious food. I highly recommend you do take out though. We have been ordering take out from here for years. I wanted my sister and her family to see how delicious it is, so we dined in, and the experience was not good. The owner was rude multiple times. Maybe it’s because we went in 45 minutes before they closed, or maybe it’s because we have kids, but an owner should make customers feel welcomed so they want to come back.“

“What an amazing experience! Heard a lot of this place, it doesn’t look like much. But wow the l food is amazing! We tried multiple of their different dumpling 🥟 offering and every single one was just perfect.

The dipping sauces were great, the service was great and the star of the show the food. Made us all order more and take additional plates home. The prices are amazing, you get so much bang for your buck.

I would recommend this place to anyone who would like to good dining experience. If you like dumplings, you’ll fall in love with this place. Try it you won’t regret it“

“Tofu vegetables and rice was delicious!!“

“The service is excellent. The menu is full of wonderful selections. We had the family dinner and the wonton soup was the best I’ve had. We had the Mongolian beef and Princess chicken. Both entrees were delicious. I can’t exaggerate how great the staff is. We will be back even though it’s a 30 minute drive.“

“We got the orange chicken and sesame chicken. It was delicious. The place was spotless. They even directed a fan towards us for our comfort because it's very hot today. We took home a ton of leftovers and only spent $35. Highly recommend.“

“Great food for a good price - friendly staff.“

“The best hot and sour soup in the area!“

“When entering the restaurant, we were impressed with the cleanliness and our friendly waitress Jaime that greeted us with a smile. She was very friendly and accommodating to making us feel welcome. Jaime was johnny on the spot from beginning to the end of meal and checking to take care of our needs. we had egg drop soup that was unlike other ones that were watery and lacked substance. Egg rolls crispy and full of vegies. Had Chicken and broccoli that the lunch portions were like a dinner with some to take home. Good portions!! We will return again!! Thanks Jaime for making our visit one that we want to return!!“

“My favorite of many fine Chinese restaurants experienced in Tucson. Fresh, friendly, fast, delicious, generous, a place that feels like love of life infuses every bite. Tonight!“

“Straight out the Wok!!! All five stars for Hot Wok!!! It's in the name, you get what you pay for, fresh, hot and satisfying meal! I ordered the chow-fun beef noodles. Portions are a good size! I'm a runner, so I ate it all up! The beef was tender and the noodles were perfectly cooked. It was right ratio of beef to noodle so you are not skimmed on the protein. My favorite part was the temperature of the food! You have to eat it there when first serve it up put of the wok to get that experience. I'm sure take out is still excellent, but I prefer my food straight out the wok! They have a large variety of different foods so you can go back and try new dishes! Service is very friendly and helpful. They repeat your order to you to ensure they got it right. Food comes out fast from the kitchen! Overall I love this place and I'll keep coming back!“

“This is very authentic Chinese hotpot and my family has been there many times. The food is always fresh and all soup base are delicious! We love the consistent quality and very affordable price, especially during this high inflation economy.
I thought the flavor may only fit Chinese and Asian tastebuds, but apparently many of my American friends or coworkers love this place as well.“

“My family loves this buffet, we come every few weeks and its always so pleasant and the food is always fresh! The woman who greets us at the door always has a smile and seems so welcoming. 😊 Our server, usually a younger woman, is always so kind and she does such a good job. There are seafood options and sushi but not only those things! I have an allergy to shellfish and sometimes my family can eat and I cant! So we love this place. Just wanted everyone to know it!“

“very delicious very affordable very attenatitive we will definitely be back. we had house combination egg fun young and house combination pho“

“It was a take out. Food was very good and large portions. I had it for 2 days. While I was waiting, I saw another diner who had the hot pot that made me drool! Will definitely try that next time. The only reason I gave the atmosphere a 3 because it’s not a place where you bring your date to unless they’re ok with a hole in the wall and quick dining.“

“A hidden gem in north Tucson. I only ordered carry out so I can't speak for the dining experience but the quality of the food and service are top notch. This resaurant deserves a better location. It's hard to find because it faces the right side of the Lee Lee's building.“

“If you are a dumpling fan - get the Pot Stickers! You will not be disappointed as they have a thin wrapper, great tasting filling, and are not gummy at all. I’ve ordered these many many times and they always turn out the same/reliably good. I’m happy to always support my local business and hope they stick around here for a longtime.“

“Karla did an absolute amazing job with her customer skills. Her boss did as well. I did not catch his name. He probably told me his name, but I forgot but both of them had a great customer service. I haven’t been greeted like this in a while at panda on Oracle and today I was craving some panda and I’m glad I came by because the customer service was fantastic. Please keep it up. It felt wonderful being greeted.“

“I’ve been here and gotten take out tons of times over the past 20 years. It’s not the best Chinese food in Tucson, but it’s the closest to my house and it does the job. The chicken is consistently overcooked which is why it doesn’t get 5 stars.“

“This comment is specifically for chef Carlos at the River location. I frequent panda and Carlos deserves a raise or a form of praise for going above and beyond to make an exception for my order. He took the time to accommodate my request of crisping up my teriyaki chicken. This accommodation was a very nice gesture and didn’t go unnoticed. -Alex“

“We've had takeout 3 times, and been for lunch 10 times. Service is great, takeout piping hot, food is yummy, side items like egg rolls and soups are generous and very well made, entrees fantastic. If you like spicy, you will have to ask for extra spicy to get a medium. Obviously, we look forward to our next visit.“

“What a pleasant surprise! Housed inside the Bashas’ grocery store, this counter-serve Chinese restaurant on N. Oracle was very good!\nThe entrees were very flavorful and reasonably priced. We had a focus on chicken: Orange Chicken, Kung Pao Chicken and Lemon Chicken and all three were great!\nThere were always customers in line which was a reflection of the quality and value of the food instead of the service, which was also friendly and helpful. Highly recommend Rice Garden!“
