“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.)“

“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“

“Food was excellent!! Friend Jon been going there for 27 years.“

“Best Honey Walnut Shrimp I’ve ever eaten in my Life. I highly recommend this restaurant!“

“Food was fire and probably some of the best service I had in a minute. I’d shout out my server but I’m bad with names but even people that weren’t my server were saying hi and being nice. Highly recommend good size portions too ✅✅“

“The best Chinese food in Tucson. Everything is freshly made. Its the kind of food that makes you feel like you're receiving a warm hug after you eat...so comforting. Ive take taken family, friends, coworkers...all of them fell in love and have now become regulars.“

“Came in here by myself the other day for a quick, tasty lunch and a break away from screen time and LOVED it! Cheyenne the bartender was the best part! She was attentive and super friendly, yet a true professional. I ordered a simple cocktail but she asked a couple extra questions, like tall glass or short, and those little things make all the difference in an individual experience. So much so, popped in this afternoon for some soup-and she remembered exactly what I’d ordered previously. Truly a rare gem in this world where it’s more about numbers than names. Thanks Cheyanne!“

“Hi So i cooked some ribs and pork chops this morning. Wife made a great Salad to go with the meal. I went to Kung Fu Kitchen today and got 2 large portions of the Pork Fried Rice. Outstanding we had 8 people over and still had some fried rice leftovers for tomorrow. Great Customer Service.“

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

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

“The place is a super surprise. I was very worried i would not want to eat anything when we arrived. The place is ghetto but the food MORE than makes up for it. The owner is wonderful. She is so sweet and kind. They made a special meal for me due to not being able to eat the sauces (duabetic) and it was like home made. Fresh tasty and very unique - they gave us an egg and tomato dish to try that was mild and super different. Loved it. My new favorite Chinese place in Tuson.. massive surprise! LOVE THIS PLACE!!“

“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’m sitting here now lunch time with my husband and I can’t help but cry a tear at the amazing food and the atmosphere! So many different cultures are here at this moment and it’s a small peaceful moment in time. Don’t walk ! Drive responsibly to this place and enjoy a hot meal from pan to plate. Everything is good !!!!“

“the waiter was super friendly and helped with deciding what to order.“

“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!!“

“Food is great! Parking is annoying. Being close to the university, most of the parking around the vicinity is permit only, and based off the Google map, it looks like there’s parking behind the restaurant but that’s for employees only.

Hint: Park by the 711“

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

“I ordered the house special teppanyaki udon and steamed pork buns. I thought they were good. It tastes very different from other Chinese places I've been to. I don't know how to describe it: maybe there's less sweetness or sauce? But again there's nothing wrong with it; it's just different.

I came in the evening, it wasn't very busy, and I got my food very fast“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“I’ve come here multiple times over the years and every time I look forward to my next meal there.
The food selection is extensive and you can get exactly what you’re in the mood for and the portion sizes are great value for what you get. The staff are very friendly. I absolutely love the teas they have as well and it’s one of my favorite things about coming here“

“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.“

“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!“

“Our server Carolyn was so awesome ,friendly and professional even though they were very busy. She got us everything we ordered super fast.... Maddox and the rest of the workers were so friendly and helpful also. Our food was great tasting and cooked perfectly.“

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

“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.“

“Looks like the majority of the negative reviews are for delivery / takeout. I dined in with my kids who are picky eaters. They had lemon chicken with vegetable fried rice. I had shrimp with vegetables. The dishes came out fast, the portion sizes were generous, and the food was actually very good. Less than $50 for all three of us. The restaurant was very clean and the service was great. I'd recommend it.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

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

“Tofu vegetables and rice was delicious!!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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“

“This place came highly recommended so we gave it a try. We did take out and based on the very simple interior decor and strip-mall type setting I would guess most of their business is take out.
We had dinner for 6 “to-go” !
The pork dumplings were very good, the veggie Pho was good, but I was not impressed with the Chicken Satay or garlic pepper chicken in pot.
Prices were between reasonable to a bit higher than expected.
Maybe this would have all been better if we ate at the restaurant so I will have to do that next time.
